Rescue someone? I think that probably the harness they were hooked up to had some sort of winch system that could pluck them up and carry them to safety. I think Andy was just being playful - people who are fearless don't realize that others' fears are genuine to the point of being paralyzing.

I would have been paralyzed. I hope they had a winch system.

I am so afraid that a difficult task is going to harm a contestant; I could not have completed the high rise task. I found myself looking away from the tv.

They were literally chained to the wire about them...I seriously doubt they could have come to any serious harm. I think the other three teams were just relieved Tommy and Andy were out of the competition - because none of them were really any competition for Tommy and Andy - the boys beat themselves. Too bad, they were awesome competitors, but like everybody else now I am pulling for Marcus and Amani. I was glad Sandy and Jeremy won this leg.

Am I the only one that thought after they received their tattoos that one of the teams would go to the airport and book a flight to San Francisco?

No, you aren't Lexi_girl! lol I was sure at least one of them would think they had to go to San Francisco.

LOL Lexie, I thought the same thing. So, if karma was the reason for A/T to lose, what about Marcus and his bad luck rocks for A/T?

I was glad to see the snowboarders go. They basically muscled past Cindy and Ernie even though they had already came in first several times. Then last night when Sandy was on the tight wire, one of them was trying to get into her head. It was just not necessary.

I thought they went out with class though...no whining, no complaining...just two guys who appreciated the opportunity to travel together and have fun.

I always saw two guys who thoroughly enjoyed the challenges, worked well together, supported others and were kind and friendly. They are also competitive. Is it any wonder? I don't think that one comment they made to Sandy near the end of the Race was meant to be mean. It might just have been their sense of humor. They have always deserved their first place wins. Sometimes due to the bad choices of the team they "knocked" out of first place. I had hoped they would win the Race but am proud of their honesty and integrity and the way they left the show. They are true winners.....in life!

I was sorry to see Andy and Tommy go in the way that they did, especially with Sandy and Jeremy trying to stop their cab driver from calling the others. S/J have not been my favorite team throughout this race, but it would have really upset me if one of the other teams had beat them to the pit stop.

Andy and Tommy themselves felt differently about their first places that happened when they didn't actully come in first.. and they seemed really happy about the ones they just blasted through and won, not that they aren't happy about all of their prizes, though I'd say the Mustangs might be at the top of the list! And you know if there is a second chance or allstars soon, they'll run again. But the Mustangs seemed like the sweetest prize. The comment made to Sandy.. well if their "sense of humor" makes it okay to play with someone's mind when they are terrified and I DO think he does have the smarts to know she was terrified AND he said he couldn't resist playing with her... that wasn't a moment I'd be proud of. It isn't the same as smack talking back and forth. I didn't hear anyone else doing anything but encouraging each other. It isn't the most terrible thing ever, of course, but I don't give it a pass just because it is Andy and Tommy. Yes, they did go out with class, just as everyone ahead of them has gone out (unlike some seasons).

Interesting how much taxi drivers affect the outcomes of this competition. So much in the past has been the driver FAILING the teams. Nice to see them HELPING their passengers for a change. It's all just luck.

I didn't see anything different about the comment made to Sandy than I see every day with the teen boys that hang out at my house. If it was a mistake, it was that he was treating her 'like one of the guys.' I guarantee you, among men, this kind of teasing, even if you are scared as crap, is common. And even the objects of it don't think another thing about it. They generally give it right back, which actually serves the purpose of dispelling the fear. It's a normal healthy thing, it's just that women don't see it the same.

You could not have put it better, Karuuna. I've been reading what everyone's opinion was on the razzing comment by Andy and I'm thinking one thing...he would not have said anything if he didn't like Sandy because it wouldn't have been in his nature...generally, in my circle of friends, we only mess with people we like, and Andy said what he said with a smile on his face and so from where I sat, it wasn't malicious or mean or meant to have a actual negative effect.

That's an excellent point also, Lycanthrope. It' s not just a guy thing, it's a *friend* thing. I guess I hung out with guys more than gals as I was growing up, so I'm used to that friendly ribbing stuff. That said, oddly enough my DS hates it when his *mom* does it to him, so I have learned my lessons there... LOL

Andy might have been smiling but I still think he was very insensitive. He knew how frightened she was.

Yes, I think you described it exactly Karuuna and Lycanthrope. That kind of ribbing is exactly how I grew up. It's done with affection, not mean spirited.

Qoute: "I was glad to see the snowboarders go. They basically muscled past Cindy and Ernie even though they had already came in first several times." I don't see it that way...they didn't muscle past...they just ran faster than Cindy did. That's the point...it's a race...whether it's the first leg or the last leg..I would want to be first.

CBS seems to like it when football goes beyond 7 PM on Sundays. Last week when it went beyond 7, the viewing audience for "60 Minutes" was 17M as opposed to 12M, this week because it was on time. More importantly the 18-49 demo was 3.7 last week and 1.8 this past Sunday.
