Costa, I totally agree with your 10/30/06 - 7:04 a.m. post. Don't count me as a fan of either D/M or L/K. I haven't had much use for either of these teams since the beginning of the race. They both rubbed me the wrong way in the first episode for obviously different reasons. I'm loving me some Male Models, Beauty Queens or hell... I'll even take R/K in the Final Three over D/M and L/K.

I keep having to remember who are the Moms...LOL! Every time I think of the Moms I think of the two blonde bowling women.

LOL Juju! After your post asking if anyone else saw it, I made sure to pause and rewind, pause and rewind, and I kept looking for that little bird! I never did see it, but I did notice those two fingers constantly being raised! And silly me, I didn't even think about a birdie being there! I'm hoping the models get a bit smarter in the race, or at least with their directions. But I totally loved the 1-2-3 on the mat with the beauty queens, models, and the bickering duo (R/K). Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention... to whomever said enough already with D/M getting a second chance (and actually, this is their THIRD chance if you count the fact that they got to race, and then they got the FF and avoided elimination, this is their third chance! <grin>). I can't believe they did a non-elim so close to the first one. On the plus side, unless pretty much everyone lies down and plays dead, there is no way D/M are gonna come in first. And since they cannot use the FF (should it appear this next leg, but it appears the intersection shows up instead), they are gonna have to actually work for a lead. Unfortunately, if D/K have to pair up at the intersection, I hope they don't choose to pair with D/M. Which could mean that there is a chance D/M could come in with enuf time to still be in the race after a 30 min. penalty. On the plus side, maybe this will ensure that L/K land last on the mat next week. <snicker>

LOL, Costa! I need a Key to interpret your initials for the teams!! I didn't want to flip back to the page with the names and pics, so I just make up which is who when I read your posts!

I'm the same way. I guess is it indicative of how these people aren't catching my attention enough to remember who they are by their initials.

They've done back-to-back non-elimination legs before so I think having it two legs after the last one shouldn't arouse too much suspicion.

The initials are flying over my head too. I don't think I know any of these teams names this season and I'm not sure why that is. To me they are Team Kentucky, the Cute boy models, the beauty queens, the bickering team, the Cho brothers, and the angry single moms.

I am terribly disappointed in the so called beauty queens. After watching the wonderful team in Treasure Hunters, watching this team makes me sick. They bring back all the negative connotations of pageant girls that the Miss America team from TH tried to dispel. They act nasty and arrogant and I can't wait to see them leave.

I wonder why the black moms are so angry. Seems like they never smile. I don't see the arrogance or mean-ness in the queens, though they are not my favs. I did like them having fun in the boat. I like Mary & David for some reason. I think I like the Cho's the best. And if they are dragging Mary/David and the angry moms along for strategy, then I say good for them.

IMO the mom's can dish it out but can't take it. They love what being in an alliance gets them, but god forbid anyone else do it. I have no problem with the BQ's reserving tickets for the boys. People have done this multiple times in the past with calling ahead and reserving tickets for multiple teams. The time that comes to mind immediately is when Uchenna and Joyce reserved tickets for themselves and Meredith and Gretchen over the phone and ended up getting ahead of Rob and Amber and Ron and Kelly that way. To me, that is no different than what the BQ's did. We all know damn well the Lyns would have had no problem if it was the Cho's reserving tickets for them (and if you listen closely to the argument, when one of the Lyns said if this was reversed you would be pissed, the quieter model (James?) says if this was reversed, you would do the same thing...and I think he was right!). And I don't think either the models or the BQ's think they are better than anyone because they are "prettier". I think they know the 6-pack wants nothing to do with them, or at least the Lyns don't, and where that hostility comes from I don't know. It seemed clear to me that the 6-pack is isolated from the other teams constantly, including at Pit Stops, and has been for a while. I'm not sure who did the isolating, but I'm guessing the 6-pack did it themselves. People always want to assume its the "pretty, popular" people leaving out the others, but in my own experiences, the so-called "outcasts" are just as capable of isolating themselves from everyone else, and isolating others from their group (I got this impression bc one of the models told Karlyn this is the most they have heard her talk on the entire race). And quite frankly, even if I liked the members of the 6-pack, and at this point the only team I actually sort of like is the Cho's, I couldn't possibly root for them bc they are NOT RACING!!!! I would gladly take a final three of the couple, the models, and the BQ's bc the finale would be awesome. If the 6-pack made it to the finale, I have this horrible fear they would hold hands the whole way to the finish line. There are millions of people who want to run this race to win it. I don't like watching people NOT RACE.

But the Cho's not racing right now, if it is part of their strategy, is them racing. (Does that make sense?) Right now they don't have to "race hard" cuz they can stay ahead of last place fairly easily. If they can get Mary/David and the Lyn's to the final 3 with them, then they should be able to win. Though I doubt Mary & David will be able to get to the next leg. They don't deserve it either. Bonehead move to not stay and try their luck at finding the salt shaker. They knew they'd be last with the boat thing...

Chalupa, if you call up and reserve tickets at the same time it's like you are standing in line together. The boys weren't even in the room and Lyn and Karlyn were in line behind the BQs. There was no prior agreement even that the BQs were going to get tickets for the guys. In this case the boys simply cut the line with the help of the BQs. The BQs didn't even do it with the intention of helping the guys. They did it plain and simply to be ugly and tick off Lyn and Karlyn and they were very smug when they achieved their goal. Lyn and Karlyn have only reacted to the rudeness and cut throat play the BQs have shown from the start of the race.

Lyn and Karlyn STARTED the race bitching and moaning about Sarah and Peter. They have done nothing but complain and moan the whole time about how hard the race is, how bad the non-6-packers are, etc. I'm tired of it. They have had too much help from other teams for me to care that D/K pulled that stunt with the models. They are willing to accept help, but not really, truly willing to put themselves out to help others. Yes, I would rather see the teams actually RACE instead of waiting around for their friends before they will go ahead, but I think it stinks that L/K are benefitting from two niave teams that obviously believe that L/K are as generous as they are. If L/K are any kind of friends to these people, they should tell them to go run their own race instead of waiting around for them, because that's what L/K intend to do.

The rudeness originated with Lyn and Karlyn so they deserve the treatment they get from the other teams. Lyn and Karlyn don't understand the concept of playing hard but leaving it on the field. In one of the interviews, they say it's hypocritical for the teams to be friendly at Pit Stops, so they just ignore them. They have no compassion when the other teams get injured or run into trouble. It seems that they are under the misguided impression that they need to treat their competitors as hated enemies if they're not in an alliance with them.

Just now watched and all I can say is at least D/M cannot take another fast forward and if there IS a fast forward the Chos better not give it away to L/K.. but then no one is likely to let the Chos have that choice again. I cannot believe so much waiting for each other, it really IS a race, no? I'm sorry but I'm tired of "Lord have mercy!" and of the six pack feeling like they have to choose the same tasks and being locked at the hip. But I don't care for the first three teams either. Feh!

All I can say is those are two angry, bitter women. Whoever said earlier that they are loyal to their six-pack you are sorely mistaken. How many times have L/K talked on camera about how D/M and the Chos are helping/waiting for them but they shouldn't expect that from them cuz they are there to win and they aren't waiting for anyone. Which is fine. I would be there to race too but I wouldn't be taking and not giving. I think these two are even worse than Jonathon and I never thought I'd say that about anyone. I think by this point in the race and taking their snarkiness for this long I would have done the same thing or worse than the BQ's did. I felt so bad for that travel agent and it was clear he was biting his tongue the whole time Karlyn was running her mouth. Nasty, nasty, nasty.

I just hope there's a yield this time and someone uses it on Lyn/Karlyn. That would totally frost Karlyn but she deserves it.

LOL I was going to say the EXACT SAME THING as Chalupa!!! I was reading all of the posts I'd missed and was thinking..."The single moms would have been totally fine doing that if it was reversed!" Chalupa I loved your post!!! You took the words right out of my mouth!! LOL We all know damn well the Lyns would have had no problem if it was the Cho's reserving tickets for them I really have not enjoyed the "6-pack or backpack alliance". I think that I might actually like the teams if I actually SAW them RACING!!! I can see the intelligence of temporary alliances that help a team out at different points in the game. But to me I REALLY admire a team who can make it on their own. If you think about it, the six of them are basically just trying to be a 6 person team. LOL And they're sucking at it! It is just ridiculous to try to play that way!!! I enjoy watching alliances form and shift on BB and Survivor. One of the things I've always loved about TAR was that it is more of an individual game. IMO it's much more fun to watch the teams sink or swim on their own. This is my greatest fear as well...if the "6-pack" make it to the F3. I have this horrible fear they would hold hands the whole way to the finish line

I think the amazing thing about this race is that we are all seeing such different behavior from each team. I don't understand how people can't see what I've seen and I'm sure others feel the same about my perception.

I don't see the arrogance or mean-ness in the queens, though they are not my favs. I did like them having fun in the boat. Precisely how I feel. I have not actually "rooted" for them, but I'm not seeing the arrogance or mean-ness either. I'm not saying that they have been perfect angels, however I don't mind seeing a team be a little "cutthroat". IMO, their ruthlessness just proves how much they want it. They tried to get in that boat before the Lyns, tried talking to the same person as the Lyns for info, they jumped in front of the gay couple to see the ticket agent and they wanted to reserve tickets for the models. They are simply trying to utilize any advantage that they can, and *I* don't feel that they have been terribly rude in the process. If they win that's cool. If they don't win my heart will not break. I DO want them to make it the F3 though because you know they will race their guts out!!!

As long as they are playing by the rules set out for them, I say go for it. What I saw was Lyn/Karlyn standing on the dock getting their stuff ready for who knows what. D/K saw an empty boat and got in it. If L/K wanted that boat they should have gotten in it and then arranged their stuff. Like I said before this is a race. They should be thinking one step ahead and doing whatever it takes to be the first one in. What I would really like to see is the Cho Bros and Mary/David stop waiting for Lyn/Karlyn and helping them in any way. Then who wants to bet that if they have problems they will blame it on no help from their alliance?

Hey, Costacat, I realized I had taped the show too. So I went back and did a bunch of backwards and forwards over the weird hand footage. Now, I'm not so sure. Maybe, maybe not. Sure was a strange way to hold one's hands, though. She has long fingers like mine, which can look freakish at times, LOL. Um, mine, not hers.

I watched it over and over too and I couldn't tell for sure. She could have been gesturing or not. With her attitudes and personality it's what we probably expected to see though.
