thank you so much for spoiling. i fell asleep last night during 60 minutes and woke up during cold case! grrrr, i hate when that happens. i'll be really glad when football is over. that or they move AR to a night where it won't be delayed and screw up my watching desperate housewives (good thing ABC replays them on their web site). anyway, just wanted to let you know it is really appreciated.

The thing is that you don't even have to lie. Just say that you aren't discussing it.

And Kim did say something like 'I want to go to Europe' in between the "Don't let them touch me" and "One polluted country to another'.

Chy, but was it before or after the "I want to be with rich people"?

India is a hard country for anyone to travel in let alone a "spoiled privileged" American. For me it was the child beggars...if you gave them money you were soon mobbed and couldn't move and yet hard to resist their little faces. Once I gave money to our guide to pass out so he got allthe attention. He was not all that pleased!

That whole attitude of not wanting to be around the poor people in India was revolting. It was like they were afraid they were going to catch something from them, and the vibe to me was they were more afraid of "catching" their poverty, than catching any kind of germ from them. This is one of the rare times I wish we could have free rein to use more aggressive language here, or be permitted to call Peter, Kim, and the Queens something less than flattering. What vile personalities they have.

I too tend to wonder what these people think they signed up for. Have they never seen TAR before? Do they not know that they travel to many different third world countries? Don't they understand that they are 'representing' Americans while they are visiting? The ignorant comments by contestants show a real lacking of empathy and compassion for other people. How sad!

I want Mary and David to stick in there, but Lord help them if they win. After watching the show last night, I got the impression that the $1M would be spent in a New York minute.

N_T, LOL!! AuntieM, and they all forgot the fact that all the ugliness is being filmed and broad-casted for all to see! Wait, Peter did not forget. He did not forget for a moment! I keep getting this feeling that, Peter is all about showing off his "creation". --granted, Sarah is amazingly fit and physically more capable than myself(w/all my limbs) any day!! Is there a reward or chance of more business for him after this? He certainly isn't there to get to know Sarah better.

I remember a few years ago the teams were required to ride a crowded train in India, and at least one woman was groped by all the men surrounding her. I was horrified watching it, and it's possible Kim saw that episode as well. It might explain her comment about not wanting to be touched. The rest of her comments were just ridiculous, though. Are we being a little unfair when we make assumptions about what people would do in a situation we haven't seen them in yet? Like imagining Peter wouldn't have shared his flight info with the blondes and then thinking him dishonest based on this assumption. We don't know if he would have or not, but we definitely know the blondes wouldn't because we saw that they didn't. I also don't think it's fair to say that Mary and David would blow a million dollars in a minute if they got it, and I'm not sure what that's based on. Maybe they would and maybe they wouldn't, but winning the money would definitely have a big impact on their lives. Jimmer was correct in that my earlier comment was about Erwin and Godwin. They went from playing a prank on Peter to sitting down with him and spilling their guts. Not only did it compromise their race, but the race of their four allies. They didn't have to lie. They could've just not said anything. If asked directly they could've said "None of your business." They didn't owe him any explanations since they had no agreement that I can remember.

I noticed that at the SS website they have a thread for who you would prefer being on the TAR ALL-STARS season since it is RUMORED that it will be next. In any reality show I seem to always favor the more athletic teams or competitors. Don't get me wrong, personality DOES count. But I just enjoy a really physical game. LOL MY POINT IS....if they DID make a TAR ALL-STARS I would like them to choose all of the most athletic teams to duke it out. It would be great to see a season full of really physical tasks. But not without mental one's, most physical teams have brains and brawns. Teams like Derek and Drew, Brandon and Nichole, Rob and Amber, Freddy and Kendra, Eric and Jeremy, BJ and Tyler, Lena and Kristy, also Hayden and Aaron. Heck I'd even take Flo and Zach back. I severely doubt that ANYONE would agree with this. But these were the teams that I ENJOYED watching. I think they would create fantastic competition because they are all so skilled and intelligent. Just MHO. Anybody else have any thoughts?

Curlyq, that is exactly what I thought she meant as well. In at least one past season the women who have had to ride the crowded trains got pretty thoroughly groped.

The groping happened a couple of seasons and to several female team members. I was thinking that was what she meant too. I would imagine the extent of the poverty there is a shock and they aren't thinking when they comment but that's no excuse. My thought is that they should eat some of those homeless cows. I don't care to see an All Stars but if there is one, I wouldn't mind seeing none of the winners but the runners up of every season. All Stars to me means that you made it at least halfway or more through the game. Anyone want to bet on whether Zach would do it with Flo again? I vote no.

Jonathan and Victoria just had a kid a couple of weeks back, so they're probably out... I don't want to see Rob and Amber.... I hear Charla and Myrna are canidates, as well as Freddy and Kendra.... I'd love to see Lori and Bolo again, as well as Jon Vito and Jill (unfortunately, I hear JV and J broke up).... Lena and Kristy deserve another chance just for that haybale Roadblock.... no more than one or 2 winners I hope... and one team from each season at least (excluding Family Edition, but they could do it if need be by picking two adults from a team)

We all know that if there is an All Stars Romber will be on it whether we want them or not. They wouldn't miss a reality show. Terry and Ian Alison (on anything ever again) Charla and Myrna Jonathon and Victoria Can we have Zack with a different partner? Even though I wouldn't want to see winners come back, he was only half winner. Does that count? The biggest problem with All Stars will be having them back with the same partner. As someone said before Jon Vito and Jill are not together. Zach said he wouldn't have a relationship with Flo after the race. How many are still together? Probably just the ones we don't want.

I'd love to see Team Cha Cha again. And that adorable brother/sister team from that same season. The ones who came third, but really deserved to win the whole thing.

eat the homeless cows? umm those cows ARE NOT homeless - cows are sacred in India and roam all the streets - sure the population of cows are getting in the way of traffic and commerce and their is corruption to kill cows and sell in the blackmarket but it is against the Hindu religion to harm a cow - they never would let someone just take one off the streets to eat!!!

they may be forbidden to eat the meat but they use the milk. they produce the bulls that plow the fields and even the urine is used as an antiseptic. sort of a don't kill the golden goose. a lot of religions dietary laws have a practical origin.

The women were groped on some trains because even though there were female only cars on those trains, either they had a male partner or male camerapeople, so they were forced into the unsegregated cars, which probably made the locals think they were looking to be groped.. not a good situation for anyone. They were ostensibly allies at that point. And not at all a Peter fan, but the reason he was asking the BQ team about their flight was because HE is the one who called to get reservations for his team and THEIRS and then they raced into the agency and tried to make a secret deal, so of course he wanted to see what they got.

I just couldn't stand Charla and Myrna. And I liked Colin and Christi (only because they really were very good at the race) so I'm really perverse. Hopefully BJ and Tyler will want to see more of the world, and hopefully they have burned those red pants by now!
