When the cowboys were interviewed they said that Mallory's dad was all business.

He was nice at the pit stops but once he entered each game he was all business keeping her on track.

Perhaps that is a contributing factor to why they are still in the game! The GT's are my fav now that the Cowboys are gone, but I wish they would get their heads wound a little more tightly into the game!

I like Mallory and Gary, they're from where I grew up. I don't know Mallory but Gary always was a nice guy. He was a couple of years ahead of me in school.

I kind of lost love for all the ones who piled on Vyxsin while they were making gnomes. I don't think she did a thing wrong. And I'm sure they came out of there rattled. Their own fault for or Kent's for not reading the clue closely but that was ugly.

I can see where Gary would be businesslike and where Mallory would need reeling in.. so good partner for her.

I don't think it is a popular view to not like Mallory.. think plenty of people like her. For me, she just makes me crazy. We can't all like the same people.

And I agree, much as I always liked Kent and Vyxsin and probably would like them in real life, Kent was driving me bonkers .. I won't miss that drama next week for sure.

I love Mallory. She has the best Dad in the world. He is quite amazing on challenges. I would love to see Gary win. Given a stronger partner, say Jen, there would be no stopping him, but he is not Jen's Dad, so maybe he wouldn't be so motivated. Go Mallory and Gary!!!

I wish Phil would clear up that gnome/refrigerator(oven) debate for us.

I wish they would clear up the Gnome debate as well.

I re watched it a few times and Flight Time clearly put his on the second shelf. Maybe another team should have received a penalty.

She has always been good at tasks like this though...and she certainly has enough practice painting herself and Kent...LOL...and she did put her gnome on the bottom shelf. I seriously doubt she took the GT's (besides, she had both halves of her gnome on her table longer than the others because they kept making a point of it so she didn't take the other half out of the frig when she put that one in).

I'm rewatching the gnome section... Flight Time made the mistake. He put his mould in the left freezer and then looked for it in the right freezer. The one he ended up with was actually his own.

Mallory is first (on camera) to put a half mould in RIGHT freezer, looks like she put it on 2nd shelf but unclear.

Kent is already saying some are putting theirs in the freezer, so probably others have done that already off camera.

FT also puts his first half mould on the 2nd shelf of the LEFT freezer but at this point you can see there is one on the top shelf

Jen puts her 2nd half on second shelf of the RIGHT freezer, pulls her first one out of the top shelf of the LEFT freezer.

Mallory puts her 2nd half on the second shelf of the RIGHT freezer and pulls her first one from the first shelf.

Vyxsin puts her 1st half on the bottom shelf of the RIGHT freezer, her second half is still on her desk.

FT goes to put his 2nd half in the RIGHT freezer. He says someone's got his and tries to take one from the top shelf, Jen says that's hers, then no, she looks at another one and says that was hers. FT takes the one from the second shelf (definitely Vyxsin's) and walks out with it, Vyxsin says that's hers and her assistant confirms it.

The GTs and Kisha attack Vyxsin.

FT takes one off the second shelf of the LEFT freezer, says he knows it isn't his, and continues working on it. He was the only one shown on camera using the LEFT freezer, so as far as I can tell, it almost certainly was his.

Good job Kitt. Thank you.

I didn't notice there were two freezers.

Juju, no, they are from Morganfield, KY, the town over from where I grew up. We had a county high school and that's how I was in school with Gary.

From that interview, it sounds like Kent and Vyxsin have different standards for themselves than they do for others. When Kent was acting like a jerk, it was because of the pressure of the race; when it was the Globetrotters, it was because they're horrible people.

Well, the revelation that Kent was actually playing injured from China on explains a lot of things that happened afterward where Vyksin seemed to be heroically performing for two. I like Vyksin and do actually consider her a hero of sorts for the way she looked out for her partner at the end of the race.

When watching Kent take that fall from the ladder in the dinosaur building, I remember being shocked that he wasn't seriously hurt. So this exit interview explained a LOT.

Still, I think Vyksin had game & was great to watch - but I don't mind that Kent is off my teevee.

Thanks for posting that interview. Everyone is right - it does explain's Kent's behavior. Especially the part about Vyxsin pulling him on the luggage cart. I had no idea he was that injured from the fall in China.

CRAP!!! I was just watching my recording of TAR and stupid CBS News just had to break into the last 10 minutes of the show to tell me bin Landen was dead. Couldn't they have waited till the top of the hour? Wouldn't he have still been dead when my show was over! Now I've gotta go watch it online. {mutter, mutter, mutter}

And now I know from the top of the page that Kent & Vyxen got eliminated. Some consolation at least...
