Haven't had a chance to read all the posts. But...I, too, LOVED Danny & Osmond Mat-Chasing to Hug Phil!!! When I saw it, though, I was reminded of a guest shot that Phil did on Rachael Ray a few months ago. They showed a clip of him trying to get ready to greet the incoming teams, and there's been a couple of times that he was almost late to the party (near close to having teams beat HIM to the mat) because he's on the same sort of trains & flights. Needing to be filming his OWN part of the video clips describing stuff that will be incorporated/edited in later. No fancy Producers Trailers, they showed him dipping into the bushes to change his clothes. Also showed Phil trying to shampoo his hair via a drinking 16 oz water bottle. He brought his own backpack & pulled stuff out to show what he has to carry himself and how he packs it all - to keep running with the teams/show. Bet one reason he was RUNNING to avoid the boisterous Danny & Osmond was that Phil probably didn't have clean clothes to greet the next teams (while pleasing the cameras). Dang, I kept wishing that Rachael Ray would have just been quiet for the show, and let us hear the whole hour of goodies from Phil! I like RR, but found myself yelling at the TV "Dagnabit woman put a cork in it, just for today!"

I think Phil is happy to see anyone get to the mat because they have won that leg of the race. I don't think there is anything going on with Charla & Phil

eamonkey, no, those rats looked like the size of small dogs, my guys were just handfuls. I wonder how their temperment is, I didn't see anyone try to pet them, but then again they were working.

LOL, ok.. yes those rats DID look larger than the really shrill small dog next door to me I don't think anyone suggested that Phil and Charla have anything going on. Anyway she's married. I think he's just fond of her

I forgot to mention that I liked the avalanche beacon search. And perhaps a debate for another time and place but I still feel the rat "joke" was sick. I rarely call contestants on comments they make during the Race but this one really disturbed me.

In the animal kingdom, where people are involved it helps if you are an esthetically good-looking creature like a squirrel (at least esthetically good-looking to people anyway). Cute, furry and with a bushy tail is much more acceptable.

Give me cute and cuddly over creepy any day of the week! That cabypara isn't nearly as bad as the rats -- I think it's the tail that does me in, that and their little twitchy noses! It probably doesn't help that once in HS, when moving hay out of our barn that had collapsed, about 40 mice went tearing every which way when I picked up a bale on the floor. Scared the livin' sh*t outta' me and I've never liked the wee buggers since!

LOL, I agree, rat and opossum tails are real liabilities in the "cute" department.

I guess the lack of a tail (or much of one) is what make hamsters and guinie pigs so cute.

Nah -- the guinea pig smell makes up for the loss of tail! LOL (And somehow that line "loss of tail" sounds perverted!)

Well, the tails used to creep me out, but I didn't mind them when we had gerbils and they did really creep me out when my DD got some as pets. I can deal with them, but they wouldn't be my first choice for a pet. I will say, they are incredibly smart and can be very social. I still shiver when I remember seeing the ones as large as small dogs on the steps of a church in Washington, DC. Ugggh! Has this "rat race" been on before? It wasn't "new" tome. I thought they had either done it on this show before or maybe Survivor? Then again, maybe I'm just nuts. LOL
