I think it was the tone in which they said it

I just don't care for either of the all woman teams, unfortunately..

As for the handicap card, wouldn't that have been something supplied by TAR?

And no, I don't think the Chos are trying to save weak teams.

Probably, Pamy, but I would have a very difficult time not have a tone with Lyn/Karlyn. They just bring it out in me.

Oh.. one funny thing was when Lyn or Karlyn told the camel not to have an attitude and the camel made taht awful face, with attitude!

I cracked up at that and then those robots on the camels were so funny too.

I've only had a cell for a year and it is just a simple pay as you go.

There are two Stone, Kentuckys but the eastern one, near the mines looks to be in remote, rugged, hill country. There may not even be good reception there and it really isn't a necessity of life for everyone.

LOL.. I just found a site with tons of complaints about reception in much of KY and this includes city areas.

Alaska is horrible for reception too. Sprint is the only one who gets decent reception where I need it and they do not provide service here.

I laughed out loud when the sistahs told the camel not to have an attitude. Now, that's the pot calling the kettle black, if you ask me.

I wasn't sorry to see Peter and Sarah leave, although I felt a bit bad for her. He was so obnoxious.. like she was a "thing" to show off, not a person. I also thing TAR must have supplied the handicap sign for the car. I never saw it on their car prior to this episode, although if it was provided this leg, probably was before. Wasn't it always Peter who was using the "handicap" emergency bit, not Sarah? The more I had to listen to him, the more I liked her.. LOL.

My DH is watching TAR for the first time and he didn't understand why "Kentucky" was still in the race... he forgot about the non-elim round and I can tell he cannot stand them. I'm sure it has very much to do with the way Mary yells. He's not very tolerant of loud people who make a scene. Personally, I think it was sort of dumb to push them through, but it did make the Cho brothers higher on my list because they're nice.

The BQs are falling rapidly on my list and I wouldn't have minded seeing the "Lyns" leave. Their comments have been annoying me from almost the start. I don't like Kim and her partner either. She has said some really ignorant and appalling things during the race.

My favorite team is the models. I can't tell them apart either, but I love how they race and don't fight w/one another and stear clear of the drama of the other teams.

I agree with Sea - Kentucky needs to pull their own weight in the race. She can love everyone all she wants, which I think is sweet, but if they can't do the tasks, the others shouldn't be slowed down... i.e. The Cho Bros!

I also watched the morning interview. (Just ran the tape back to see it.) The interviewer (sorry, can't remember his name right now) said to Peter, "You know what? You were not nice. You were not nice to Sarah . . . "

That's when Peter launched into his spiel about being in competitive mode, wanted to win & Sarah to win, etc. Never any acknowledgement or apology. IMO--self-centered and self-absorbed to the end.

Go Cho Brothers!
Go Models!

(And I agree with those that think the Cho's need to really concentrate on their own game. I think it will be too bad if their role is continually sacrificing their position. I seriously doubt that Kentucky & the Lyns will do the same for them.)

I've seen KY wait for the sistahs but I've yet to see the sistahs do much for anyone else. I can't imagine them helping anyone cuz remember when the model boys had the flat ~ "We just want to win."

I think it was last week, Lyn and Karlyn were running ahead of Mary and David, Lyn saw Mary stumble and she stopped and told Karlyn that Mary stumbled. Both Lyn and Karlyn hesitated and David and Mary told them to go on. I just haven't gotten the impression that Lyn and Karlyn are anything but nice people. They aren't perfect, but they are way up the list from the BQs in my opinion.

I don't blame them for giving attitude to the BQs because the BQs have played down and dirty from the start and they are just getting back what they dished out.

As Pamy said above it was the tone of voice when she said 'the sistahs'. She said it like she was saying a bad word and then it was quickly followed by the pig reference. It sounded and felt very ugly to me.

Benoit Huet, the president & ceo of Victhom Human Bionics is on a Canadian business show right now (ROBtv) - they showed a clip of Sara & Peter, saying that Peter works (or worked, didnt' catch it exactly) for that company

I think the Cho brothers are nice but unfortunately nice usually doesn't work out well towards the end of TAR. They are going to have to start competing for themselves. If they had been front-runners all the way I think it would have been better, but as it is they have yoyo-ed back and forth the entire race. But they truly do seem like good guys.

The only other team I care anything about is the models.

I'll be glad when David and Mary get eliminated, because I don't like hearing her yell at her husband, although he really seems to be a truly nice guy (she seems nice too -- it's just her personality to be yippy). I think he is overwhelmed by all the new experiences and I am enjoying it...like him saying he had always wanted to be a firefighter. She seems to be racing the race and he seems to be taking in the experience.

I'm ready for David and Mary to go but happy that they got that trip. That will be a huge reward for both of them. I know he thinks winning would solve all of their problems, but he mentioned a fair number of activities that might go through much of the after tax winnings. I'd hope he'd consider school or training. I suspect that there aren't that many jobs to be had in that particular area.. I wish them well.

This adventure is something they will never ever forget!

The Chos.. unfortunately they are equally nice. With Chip and Kim, Kim finally had to toughen them up a bit.

The Chos also seem to not have that killer instinct. Like when they got to the Kuwait towers and shared the elevator, surely they are younger/ faster but they were polite and the other two teams got numbers ahead of them. And several times they have chosen the slow tasks.. I really hope they sharpen up because I like them very much and they are also taking in the trip, not just rushing through it.

The problem with David and Mary is that they cant win without people helping them along. My own view is if you cant do it by yourself then you dont belong in the race. They won their trip and now it is time to go home.

Time for the real players to compete.

I agree, Maris.

I am so glad that P/S are gone. I think I'll enjoy the show a little more now. I thought they were both annoying. Glad she has enough self respect to see that he's not the guy for her, but I'm so relieved to have their on-going drama over.

I guess now the show will go back to focusing on the Rob/Kim bickering, though.

This is an easy season for me. I hope that Tyler/James win and if they don't, then my second choice is the Cho bros. What the Cho's did for Mary/David was very nice, and thank goodness their good gesture didn't backfire on them.

Is anyone else as bothered as I am by the excessive use of local escorts this season? It's probably just me who is finding this bothersome.

I thought what the Chos did was nice, but it's a little annoying, too. I watch the race to see people RACE, I don't want a team like David and Mary to win if they haven't really pulled their own weight. I would much rather a competitive, but nice enough team like the models to win.

I used to really like the BQ's, but they have done some things in the name of "competition" that just weren't necessary.

And I cannot stand the "Lyns". I don't like it when a team complains constantly when there are probably hundreds of people who would have LOVED to have their spot on the race.

Rob and Kimberly aka "The Bickersons" -- I don't even need to comment on them. Win or lose, they will be their own worst punishment if they stay together.

I keep hoping that someday an all female team will win this thing, but this season I am really rooting for the models or the Chos.

Go, girls, go!! Go right on out of the race and off my tv where I don't have to see you again!!

I haven't watched the entire episode yet, but...

Isn't it ironic? Lyn and Karlyn try to stop Dustin and Kandace from finding out what the Arabic clue meant. But the guy helps them anyways and, in fact, gets in their car to help them drive to the souk. As Lyn and Karlyn get into their car, one of 'em says "it isn't fair." Um, hello? What's not fair? The fact that you tried to stop someone from getting help after you had already been helped? Or the fact that the man liked them more and physically went with them? Karma! LOL.

David and Mary. I dunno, but their reaction to winning the prize at the mat was a bit, shall we say, underwhelming? Almost like they didn't know where Jamaica is or something. Heck, just the though of a whole body massage or river rafting would be exciting. I think they could've shown a wee bit more excitement, yes?

Still not liking Peter in this episode. But at this point, there isn't much the man could do that *would* make me like him.

Do the players get paid a stippend for how long they are on the show, like Big Brother does?

I'd like for David & Mary to get a new car before they go.

I'm assuming the race competitors get paid a stipend for the time they are out of their regular lives for the race.

I'd much rather see the Chos get cars.

I probably won't get to watch until I get home Monday night, but I'm bringing my laptop and they have .. wireless in the rooms and wireless in the lobbies too!! So I'll be happy and informed should I choose to be.

Is anyone else surprised they had them race through Kuwait? It did seem more "safe" than I would have expected it to be. I know Kuwait is an ally, it's just that it's close to where wars are being fought and lots of terrorists are bred. It was nice to see it since I have family in the military who has been there, it's just I guess I equate it as a staging point for our troops and not a place I would send teams running through for a TV show.

Watching, I was thinking the same thing. We have never been to Kuwait and I was impressed with the town and scenery. I would have gone to watch the camel training especially. But it bothered me when Lyn/Karlyn physically touched the arab in robes. Americans are much more touchie and it is actually an insult for a woman to touch a man in many countries.

I know that Kuwait is more modern and Western than other Arab countries, but the women running around with very little clothing on is also very inappropriate. They should have been more covered (IMHO).

If Americans should do as Arabs do in their country then shouldn't Arabs do as Americans do in our country? If our women should have been more covered there then their women should be less covered here. And, the men should shake a woman's hand for goodness sake. When in Rome . . .

I noticed the Peter using Sarah's "medical emergency," but had to laugh to myself. The look on the the ticket person's face was priceless.

She seemed to be thinking, "Wait a minute. You are Americans. You have a medical emergency and you want to go to Kuwait! If it is such an emergency why the heck aren't you getting a ticket back to the United States?"I don't think she bought it. LOL
