My pleasure :-)

It kind of kills me that Peter kept sitting back and making Sarah do the roadblocks so I'm glad that they are gone.

Raen - I feel like having her do the roadblocks was sort of him "showing her off". Not sorry to see them go.

And she's a winner to realize that he's not for her.

I wondered about that too with Peter...making Sarah do the roadblocks. Do you think he was trying to have her to it to "make a point" with the public that people who might be somewhat physically challenged are still capable of doing most anything...or was he simply not a very "nice" person?? Something about him just seemed kind of off to me. Reminded me of a younger, spaced-out Glen Campbell. For some reason I thought he looked a little bit like him. I'm glad that Sarah realized Peter's not what she's looking for.

Big kudos to Erwin and Godwin!! I hope that some good karma continues to come their way. Not many people do things like they did for David and Mary tonight. Those brothers may have just become my favorite team!

Some people might think the brothers were crazy for bluffing the FF like that....I think they were crazy like a fox. They kept one of the weaker teams in it (and if they place last in the next NEL, they won't have a FF to help them out since they used it already) and got indirectly helped get rid of one of the stronger teams (but P/S more imploded than anything)....

Which detour did Sarah and Peter do? I am glad they go eliminated. I feel sorry for Sarah but the less she is around Peter the better off she is. That was an easy ff. Camel racing is an an odd sport.

Thank you for spoiling Raen! I'm glad Peter and Sarah got eliminated the only team I'd like to see go more than them are the BQs.

I'm not a fan of Peter, but I think that Sarah is just as frigging irritating in her own way and Peter wouldn't be getting any good deal by staying with her, either. I think they both bring out the worst in each other and it's good they found it out now.

Thank you for the spoiling!!

I'm happy for Sarah in the sense that she got to see Peter for who he really is. When he once again made her do the roadblock tonight - I just could not believe it. The boy needs to grow a backbone.

Didn't Peter design, or help design her prosthesis? I was thinking that maybe he wanted to do all that stuff so he could use it as a selling point.

So glad the brothers weren't eliminated.

Dogdoc, Peter and Sarah didn't actually perform a Road Block task. By the time they finally found the camel dung loading station, their clue just told them to proceed to the pit stop.

Sarah did the Roadblock because at that point, Peter had done 4 (fish eyes, flaming arrows, flowers, driving school) and Sarah had only done one (ascender). There's a rule about the maximum number of Roadblocks that each person can do so they were trying to fill Sarah's quota. Unfortunately for her, she got the tough ones.

Well, if it couldn't be Lyn/Karlyn gone then Peter/Sarah are second best. I say buh bye to Lyn/Karlyn every episode trying to speak it into existence but it's just not working yet. Maybe we should form a circle, hold hands and chant all together.

My final four is: BQ, male models, cho bros and David and Mary.

I do not have a cell phone but that's a whole other discussion.

What I find curious is that in TAR 5, people were all over Charla/Mirna for faking a "doctor emergency" to get a better flight/cab (or whatever advantage it was at the time). Yet, tonight's show was at least the second time I've noticed where Peter/Sarah used her leg as a "medical emergency" to get a flight/cab, and nobody has said a word about it. I even brought it up here when I heard them do it the first time, and not a soul responded. Tonight Peter darn near yanked Sarah's prosthetic off her leg to stick it in the counter person's face to punctuate the "medical emergency."

I think in the long run, the decision to use her "running leg" (or whatever the term is for that particular style of prosthetic) was a mistake. As many people have mentioned, it looked like it was misfitted to her, and she often had to wobble/hop along to catch up with Peter. I don't know how much the blown hydraulic had to do with it (since I'm not an expert in prosthetics). But I remember one shot of her running with the leg (more of like in a promo clip), and it looked like that leg works perfectly when used for long even running strides. Add the weight of a backpack, and the running through streets, around people, up stairs and down alleys and such (ie, no long even stretch of road to even out and lengthen your stride), and the leg instead threw her way off balance.

I'm looking forward to their Early Show appearance (I hope they're on it). Should be interesting to see if they're even friends by now. I can't see why she'd ever want to see him again after that race. In his eyes, everything was her fault. He could do no wrong.

Thanks Juju and Spear. Spear, I meant "detour" instead of "road block". I keep getting those two titles mixed up. I was suprised that the Beauty Queens were able to carry the bags. Weren't they 120 pounds. That is a lot to lift. I guess the hard part of the camel race was finding the place.(if you're not the camel).

Whoami, I was annoyed when Peter/Sarah used the medical emergency tactic but I am getting used to people doing it. At least Sarah did have a medical situation. Didn't a minister in one of the races do the same thing as a total lie? That time really bothered me.

Who, what bothers me is the hypocrisy of it. In the beginning they made a big deal about how they want to prove she can do anything anyone else can, but then they use her leg as an excuse to try to get preferential treatment. Can't have it both ways in my book.

Well, my fave team is the male models, even though I can't tell them apart...lol

I like that they basically run their own race, and stay out of the ugliness that can form between teams.

I really dislike the Lyns. And it seems to me I will dislike them even more after next week. I can't believe they have the nerve to tell the BQ's that they can't help the models. As if the Lyns would even still be in this race if it weren't for help from the Cho bros and Kentucky. Talk about hypocisy.

Also, now that we are down to the final 6, if I were the models, BQ's and Rob and Kim I would totally team up for a leg or two bc that Back Pack alliance is pretty strong, and they seem to do just about anything to help each other out. It might help the other three teams to help each other out a little bit for a leg or so.

Did you also notice that they had a handicap sticker in the car they used?

I doubt that Peter needs advertisement to get more people to use him to make prosthetic limbs. Usually those people seem to be pretty busy, especially if they are very good at what they do, and regardless of whether we liked Peter personally or not apparently she has had a lot of success with her prosthetic previous to the race. I think there was just a fluke problem that caused a hydraulic leak.

Her handicap was apparent - his lack of a pleasing personality was a larger handicap in my opinion, but you can't get a prosthetic for being obnoxious. I think he had a Pygmalian (did I spell that even close to right?) complex, where he wanted to look like he was empowering her.

On the Early Show, Sarah and Peter said they continue to be friends (only). Sarah did explain that the limit for one person is 7 roadblocks, and she did not hold Peter at fault for the ones she got. He had already done four and they were worried that they would come up against something she absolutely couldn't do.

In addition, she said the road blocks don't really give them much information to decide on. For example, this last one said only "who has strong arms and legs". She felt she had strong arms and legs, and could do it - and she did.

Peter said a lot about how he wished Sarah had won TAR, because it would have shown how far a disabled person could go, and that would be a good thing. A nice sentiment, but he was still kind of treating her like an object and not a human being.

Glad Peter is gone. I could take Sarah - just not with him! I would have clawed his face off!

I like the Cho bros the best followed by Kentucky & the Male Models. Don't like the Lyn's or the BQ's or Rob & Kim.
