I missed last night's episode. I am reading the recap on CBS.com, but can someone clarify what happened here: As the other eight Teams boarded their Taca flight to Lima, coal miner and wife David & Mary put their bags in the overhead bin of the first class cabin, a trick they learned on the last race, but watched in shock as an irritable Drew quickly threw the bags on the floor. Defending his action, Drew said, "You put your ___ where your seat is. That's it." David warned, "Drew's the only one playing dirty. So he started it, so it's on." THANKS!

Also, can anyone clarify this part: Beauty queens Dustin & Kandice followed cousins Charla & Mirna who in turned followed a taxi driver until he pulled over. Along the roadside, Mirna confronted the beauty queens about splitting the large fee. When the beauty queens hesitated at the idea, Mirna asked them to either leave or pay up. I mean why should M&C be expected to pay if there was no agreement of such beforehand? Seems that they should not have to pay. I am glad to see Drew & Kevin go. Too bad that team which was a riot the first go-round seems to have changed so much and did not seem to be having any fun at all.

Julie, If I have it right... Charla and Mirna were paying a local to lead them to the destination. Dustin and Kandice were following them so Mirna pulled over and told the beauty queens that they could either pay half of the fee to the local or stop following them. The beauty queens tried to sidestep paying by asking the local to draw them a map after which they would stop following. Mirna got in between them, there were some verbal sparring until Dustin and Kandice gave up and left. ETA I get the impression that this arguement let the local know how important he was to Charla and Mirna because the amount he wanted seems to have been every cent they had. RFLOL

I believe C&M had "hired" taxi driver to guide them (C&M following in their car). BQs were following C&M guessing about C&M's agreement with driver. Taxi driver pulled over, so C&M pulled over to talk to driver. Then BQs followed suit and pulled over. Taxi driver wanted $100 to guide C&M the rest of the way. C&M told BQs if they were going to follow also, they should pay half the $100 or leave. BQs drove on.

Thanks for the explanation on Drew. He and Kevin were miserable to watch last night - it seemed as if their hearts just weren't in the race. I'm on the train liking Amber as well. Rob gets on my nerves at times but I can't help but like him as well...especially when he gets all giddy about beating out the others and then ends up with the messy plans!

Thanks guys. Now can you explain the above blurb about David and his luggage?

Amber's a sweetheart & her influence on Rob has actually made him easy to like. Power to ya woman! That's what a great marriage is all about. I hope this team keeps it up & wins the whole thing & I hope that Rob doesn't turn around & loose it all on the poker table. Amber is the backbone of that pair & I really think Rob allows it.

Julieboo - I wondered who made him "Overhead Bin Police" also. It isn't as though they were putting the backpacks in Drew's lap, so I don't see what business it was of his. It was rude of him to say anything, but it was over the line to remove the bags and toss them on the floor. He seemed like such a bully at that point!

Well last nite did nothing but bum me out in a major way. Kevin and Drew hold such a special place in my heart. Those guys just KILLED me, and I was so looking forward to a little more of that. Instead we got a dark, empty shell of what they were. (Plus that one good Peru comment lol). What I found really sad is how whatever ails Drew is dealing with seem to have affected his personality. And as someone dealing with chronic pain that I would bet is at least as bad as his (and I've had it longer), it frustrated me how he is dealing with it and letting it affect him. One of the truly saddest parts for me was when Kevin said how Drew really shouldn't have done it, but how much he wanted to but couldn't without Drew. But he kept supporting him. I'm sure he was very frustrated. And I bet not just by losing but by how different/harsh Drew was. His storming off the matt....the scouls etc. Just very sad IMHO. Esp since they really had this leg secured and only lost because they didn't follow directions or pay attention when they saw other teams uturning. Not like they lost it because of any physical limitations. Sigh. Was glad to read at least there are some good personal things going on Drew now. And even though I like most of the teams, with a few I can't stand, I am NOT ready for another AS edition of anything and I'm having a hard time getting into this. Was glad I taped it so I could zip through most.

Here goes: I love Teri and Ian! I have no explanation as to why, I just do. I was rooting for them in their original season and find I'm rooting for them again. My second team is Rob and Amber. I always liked them and liked their style. Maybe its because both teams know how to ruffle feathers? Anyway, I have no real other favorites except for Kevin and Drew but they're mercifully gone now. Kevin does look ill but to me it looks like he's dealing with heart problems not CA. GO TERI AND IAN!!!!

Julieboo & Spoton asked ... who made Drew the "Overhead Bin Police" I am only assuming here, but I think it was actually a case of payback. I seem to remember an earlier incident where David "stole" K/D's car. I believe David walked up & got in a car while K or D were standing right there beside it. So, I think in Drew's mind "the gloves were off" at that point. It's all a matter of interpretation, of course, and true to form, D/M saw themselves as the victims of unprovoked meanness, but I think that was where Drew was coming from.

I think Drew was out of line when he took Mary & David's backpack from first class they should have waited until a Stewart came by and told them to take it down.

As much as I liked Kevin & Drew in their original season, taking down those backpacks was about the meanest most interfering thing anyone has done on TAR. He had absolutely no business doing that. I guess anything goes though. I like Teri and Ian. I didn't like them at first on their original season, but I slowly developed a growing admiration for their tenacity and determination as well as their skill at the race. They are tough contenders, especially for an older couple! Oddly enough, although I liked them in their original season, I'm growing a little tired of Uchenna and Joyce. They were in the last race to work on their relationship, they won a million bucks and now they are back saying that they are still working on their relationship. I guess they deserve credit for perseverance but I'm a little tired of the same old line.

Unfortunately, infertility tests a relationship in a whole new way.

That is very true Texannie. My comment about U & J probably came across as harsher than I intended. All I mean is that they are still seeking the same thing that they were unable to find when they participated in and won the first race.

Yes, that's true Jimmer. If they are having a baby because they think it will fix the problem, they will be in for more frustration.

Jimmer, I agree about U&J and their relationship problems. Wouldn't hiring a therapist be simpler and more effective? Or is that a "hook" to get sympathetic viewers and editing? I have a great deal of empathy towards their infertility problems but this is like same story second verse. And what happened to adopting? They were so moved by the African orphanage that I hoped maybe they would adopt one or more of the children there. I never cared for Mirna and Charla or Teri and Ian. Still love the Cha Chas. Amazing how the Guidos have kind of kept a low profile this time. Really don't like David and Mary. BQs don't bother me and I still like Robb and Amber. Eric and Danielle aren't really a team...LOL!

Eric and who? Haha. Kinda like "Bo who?" from BB. I don't dislike them or like them, they just don't really exist on my radar on this show yet lol.

And what happened to adopting? How many years have they been 'trying' now? Infertility can damage a relationship if there isn't total commitment to each other and I understand wanting to have your very own biological child but at some point what's more important?

I think I remember them saying that because of their age it would be difficult to adopt. Does anyone know how old they are?
