Kappy, I'd have to see that again myself. Danielle was so distraught and frustrated with not being able to find the pilot. Then all of a sudden there she was making the call and getting ready to get on the helicopter. I don't believe I looked away at all from the TV, so we were puzzled as to what had happened all of a sudden too. Maybe it was just poor editing?? But it just didn't seem right to me. Of course Oswald's pilot standing there all of a sudden seemed a bit odd too. There were a couple of instances to me this season during the race that seemed questionable to me as compared to what I remember of past seasons. Too bad Oswald and Danny are gone! They were the only team left that I was rooting for. I'll watch the finale to see the the season through even though I don't really care much who wins anymore. If I have to pick from the three teams left, I guess I'll root for Mirna and Charla. I never thought Danielle/Eric should have been on in the first place because they were not an "original" team in the true sense, having not been actual partners the first time. I also have not cared for their attitude throughout most of the race..especially Eric's choice of words many times for the other racers. They both seem quite bitter for the most part. The BQ's are just "okay" to me. They are good competitors and generally seem to have a positive attitude, but their comments tonight about the sargent not falling for their smiles still makes go back to my feeling that they may still rely on their outward appearance to get what they want many times. (I suppose they were just trying to humorous though.)

I recorded it, Kappy. Danielle definitely found the pilot. She had a lot of trouble then finding the LZ. While she was looking for it, they showed a military person helping her. Said Danielle was hitting side buttons so she was "throwing off [her] view" which was confusing her. Don't think I heard (or read; had CC turned on) her say anything like "just found him." Just read your post, Kc. Danielle found the pilot. Then spent considerable time (TV screen time too comparatively) looking for the LZ. I just watched it.

Even if the Cha Chas had completed the task before C & M, they would have lost to them because of the 30 minute penalty. So sad.

I'm so bummed Danny and Oswald are gone. I thought for sure Charla would be out there all night looking for the guy since her guide had to tell her about 4 times not to touch the screen and I was hoping that in all that time O/D would have time to catch up.

BQs ROCK! I'm curious for the finale - they showed the BQs bickering, and they've had one of the best relationships of any team, really from any season, being able to get through tough tasks and setbacks w/out arguing or belittling each other. So I can't even imagine what causes this supposed break-down between them

Did one of the Cha Chas (Danny?) call Charla a Tellytubby as she walked off the helicopter? I hope I heard wrong.

I was surprised he said that. I am guessing Charla did not find that too amusing.

Apparently there was a rule about how many roadblocks each competitor could so because Eric said something about having "done" all "his" roadblocks. Then someone else mentioned it as well, but I don't remember which team - Yes, the BQ's were joking about a smile not working!! This is not the first time they having poked fun at themselves!

BQ's were definitely joking about the smile! I thought the tellytubby comment was hysterical. i am so sad Danny and Owald are not in the final three and i was stunned they want M/C to win. i was not a fan of the BQ's during their first race, but i am really rooting for them now.

"Then someone else mentioned it as well, but I don't remember which team - " Charla said she would go on and do this one because she doesn't know what the last one will be. Therefore Mirna must do the last one. If it was another bike charla would not be able to do it.

I really wanted a d/o and d/k F2. Oh well. It is too bad d/o are out. I did not enjoy the teletubby comment and wonder what flack someone else would catch if they had said it (ie Mirna or one of the bqs). Mirna saying to use the correct accent was really irritating. I think d/k are going to be fine next wk and it's just editing to make it look like they have a problem with each other. I thought the charm comment by the bqs was amusing! So what if they've tried to use their beauty to their advantage? They've never been mean or spoiled brattish about it, imo. Charla has used her height to her advantage too. k/d have been very nice and polite to each other and the public during both seasons. They've also been nice and polite for the most part to the other teams too. While I was watching the show, at first I thought Danielle hadn't completed her task correctly either. I think TAR must be a challenge to edit with everything they have to fit into an hour.

I recorded it and still have it. It was a little confusing to watch -- not being sure at times who was on camera during military GPS roadblock. But I watched that part a second time last evening. It was very clear that Danielle found the pilot and then had a hard time finding the LZ. She eventually did though.

Re the telletubby remark: what is more surprising, is that they used that remark to give a title to the whole episode--in the Zap2It TV listings, the episode title was given as "Oh My God, the Teletubbies Go to War". Which seems really odd. I had tuned in thinking that maybe everyone was going to have to dress up in Tellebubby outfits to complete a task.

I read an interesting observation -- for six straight legs, Dustin and Kandice have finished ahead of all teams except those who used the Fast Forward. No matter where they end up in the final leg, this has been one of the more impressive TAR performances.

I think the teletubby comment came from the big headphones and the appearance of Charla as she came toward the camera. It wasn't a PC remark but it sure beat what I suspect Eric might have said were he in the same position. Notice that when Charla beat Oswald back to the starting point, Danny congratulated her and Mirna and gave them a kiss, without hating out loud that this was obviously meaning he and Oswald would be out, and he also wasn't verbally griping about Oswald not being back, in the way that Eric was about Danielle, until she returned. But anyway, today on the Early Show, they brought up the comment and he completely regretted making it and Danny said it was the least he could do to say they wanted Charla and Mirna to win, after making that comment. They did say that Charla and Mirna are good players, there to win. Danny also said that Mirna is as good as Oswald at finding places (personally I think she may be better, but I only saw edited race and they were there, but clearly he was paying Mirna a compliment.) Dustin and Kandice are certainly on a roll and as Phil pointed out, collecting quite a bit of swag in prizes too. I hope Charla and Mirna aren't far enough behind to miss the first plane.. let them land and then go for it and I'll personally hope that Eric and Danielle are last and then let the others battle it out. I'm betting that the BQ having an argument is pretty much CBS misdirection and that it will have no effect on the actual outcome, just as Danielle being so lost and frustrated was featured and probably led some viewers to think they came in last but not at all.

I like Charla a lot...Mirna, so-so. I'm glad that Danny and Oswald want them to win. Since we don't see everything that happens, the interaction between everyone, I'm not surprised by their comment. Charla and Mirna have been very friendly with them, and vice-versa. They know a lot more than we do about them, imo.

I thought that when Danny said teletubbies go to war, he was talking about both himself and Charla because they were both wearing padding and big earphones on their heads that made them look like teletubbies.

I also think D/O feel guilty about their yield deal with D/K, and that affects their feelings. Especially since Mirna said she'd have given them money without having them do the yield thing. (Although, of course, she could've just said that!)

Although, of course, [Mirna] could've just said that! That's much more likely. Given the chance, Mirna would deal.

I give Charla tons of credit, she is a great competitor and must have a heart of gold to put up wiht Mirna's constant insults

I thought this Bizarro comic was particularly appropriate given all of the talk about karma on TAR this year.

On the Early Show, Hannah Storm brought up the Karma thing and it seemed to me that Danny and Oswald has sort of re-thought that.. they said they had to do something, and that they couldn't beg, not enough silicone (lol) and that using the yield was simply part of the game.

They have a 12 hour rest at the pitstop and C/M didnt offer D/O some money then but they say they would have after they find out about the yield. But then they may not have known they needed money.

I'm mystified by this whole yield = bad karma thing. Using the yield is perfectly within the rules of the game. How Eric can complain about someone using the yield after he called and cancelled opposing teams' taxies is beyond my comprehension? I can't imagine what he would be like to play sports with.
