>>Nick writes...I love Charla and Mirna!!!

And I wasthisclose to putting them down as the first place team on Wilson's game. My mind was saying Uchenna & Joyce (which I put down) and my gut feeling was Charla & Marla. My gut feeling was saying since Charla was closer to the ground, she'd have an easier time with the rat and Phil on his preview said she was wearing shoes with wheels on them in their nail polishing..which my gut feeling was saying she that would help cause attraction to the people towards Charla & Mirna.

Did I listen to my gut feeling...nooooooooo and I ended up in the hole on Wilson's game because of it. Ack!

Hahahahahaha about the Guidos beating Eric and Danielle in a foot race. There was a good quote there from the Guidos, but I don't recall exactly what it was.

It was especially good because they all thought they might be in last and next to last place.

Go Geezer Guidos!!

I am so irritated about CBS last night...and at myself for not thinking ahead and TIVO'ing the show after The Amazing Race!

Too bad Brown...nobody picked Mir/Charla!

I enjoyed the show, esp. Dan/Oswald at the mat chasing Phil! I missed Rob and Amber though.

I don't like Mir/Charla as a team, I don't like Mirna. I do like Charla and am glad for her that they came in first.

Another good show! LOL - If that had been Rob and Amber that finished last in the none elimination, people would be talking about all sorts of conspiracy theories.

I'm not an Eric & Danielle fan but let me see if I remember how the Eric & Danielle and Guido situation went. E & D were basically joking in the car about closing in on the Guido's and passing them – which they never did. Of course, I'm not sure why passing another team in a race is necessarily a bad thing? It is a race after all and teams do it all the time.

So they arrive at the stop and the Guidos approach them in a very belligerent way and say something like, "You better watch your speed guy!"

E & D laugh at first but when the Guidos keep after them, Eric responds by calling them "freaks and weirdos".

Hmmm …. Is that the extent of the despicable thing that E & D did to the Guidos or have I missed something?

I like the teams through the seasons who truly have enjoyed and appreciated the experience of being able to run the race as well as the places they travelled to and through.

That's one thing I like about Uchenna & Joyce and the race they run...both their first time around and this time in All Stars.

Some teams have been overly competitive (and spiteful). I don't think they took time to appreciate the experience or the places they've traveled, which for most, outside of All Stars, is a once in a life time opportunity.

Loved, loved, LOVED Danny and Oswald chasing Phil around at the mat. The best pit stop film ever!!

I was surprised that more teams didn't pick the Pamper detour, rather than the one with the coal. Um, hello? Pounds of coal, with your hands, schlepping it around? Um, no thank you! (And anyways, I wouldn't wanna ruin my manicure!) But it was interesting that that one detour was so skewed towards one side... all three teams that came in 1-2-3 were the only three to do the nail polish thing.

I didn't get the Guidos thing either, Jimmer. I thought that E/D didn't pass them, so why were their thongs all in a twist? I didn't like the Guidos in their first season, and am still not liking them. I think they are mean just to be mean, and then I hate that they gloat about things. I think they are both bitter, and it shows in how they run the race.

Mirna and Charla don't bother me as much as they seem to bother others here. But that may be because I've not watched the entire season (stayed away until the last episode for obvious reasons).

I was pretty upset with some of the comments that came out of Eric's mouth last night (and amused at the look Danielle gave him at the end). I now hope that those two are the next to go.

Not much impressed with U/J this time around. Maybe it's cause I know they already won, and apparently couldn't buy happiness with their winnings. But I think it's a wee bit unfair to have a winner on an all stars show (only one, not all of 'em).

Still loving Danny and Oswald, and Dustin and Kandace. I'm hoping those two teams go far!

I need Mirna off of my screen or at least out of my speakers. Show was boring with no Romber. Images of an acclaimed Dustin Hoffman character who could count matches with that "watch your speed guy." It's the new way to make others laugh in our family. We say a deadpan phrase and add guy to the end. We're dying over here ...

Although I have disliked the BQs, they wom me over a little bit last night when they polished the little girl's nails even though she didn't have any money. It's the first time I've seen them do something for someone else.

My take on polishing the girls is a bit different. Yes it was a nice thing but I'm of the mindset that it was done for the camera....she couldn't do anything else without looking like a mean person.

On the nail polishing thing....why didn't M&C first figure out how much money they were dealing with. At the end they had more than enough.

I like that Ian asked for the whoile 30 upfront....LOL

My DH and I play along and we both thought the coal thing would be the way we went. Obviously the nail polish was the easier of the 2 tasks.

Jimmer, yes, you must have missed the end, where Eric said something very nasty about how he could not believe that he got beat by some queens....

(the car squabble thing was nothing...)

Thanks Raen for typing up what happens, I agree Jimmer, had to laugh at Nick's email about Charla & Mirian. It was on pasted my bedtime but realize the game was on longer so I DVR the next show.

Was that near the end of the argument about speeding, Julie? I'll have to watch it again.

It was at the end of the show Jimmer. Right after E/D got beat by Guido at the mat....they showed E saying that D got beat by a couple of Queens.

In essence, he was making not only a disparaging remark to the Guido's but was trying to make his girlfriend/partner look weak....

My take was that he (Eric) was saying that he could never have been beaten by Guido....cause of their sexual orientation...on top of calling them Freaks, earlier in the show.

Don't they have some rule about speeding and you will be penalized if you do speed? Maybe that was what started getting the Guidos upset in the 1st place.

They weren't going to let the other team pass and they would be forced to speed also and possibly be penalized?

If there is a rule about speeding then Phil will penalize the teams at the mat, it's not necessary for the other teams to confront about speed. I didn't like how the Guidos got the rest of the clue from Charla/Mirna two weeks ago and left them behind and then stood in front of Eric and Danielle's car so they couldn't drive and then were upset that they might get passed. Eric and Danielle weren't even driving, they were both sitting in the backseat, there was a driver.

I don't care for Eric and Danielle, but the attack by Guidos was uncalled for.

Just wanted to note that Eric/Danielle definitely passed Joe/Bill because they arrived first. When Joe/Bill got there, that's when they came up to them and told Eric that they needed to watch their speed. I definitely got that Joe/Bill were being a little unrealistic there (it's a race, of course people are going to pass you on the road... and Eric wasn't driving so it wasn't like he was the one actually speeding).

In general, Eric's comments don't come off as behing homophobic to me so much as just plain rude. He and Danielle continued to make fun of Joe/Bill throughout this entire leg but I thought the "weirdos" comment was aimed at their behavior and meant to be a play on their name. In other words, he was trying to be amusing and saying that instead of being called Team Guido they should be called Team Weirdo.

The comment at the end was about their sexuality but, again, I felt it was more his lack of any manners than being homophobic. Not saying he isn't, just that I don't know if we can tell that from his comments. Either way, he's definitely a sore loser and, if I were Danielle, I don't think I'd put up with the way he treats her.

If this was the first time Eric made inappropriate comments I could explain them away but he spent all his time last season talking about boobs and making sexist remarks and he's kept it up this season. And I think being called a freak and a weirdo has a somewhat different connotation if you are gay and have lived with that sort of comment for years. And a straight non-friend person using "queens" is simply unlikely to be anything but derogatory.


Oh and since as a group we seem to still be looking backward (lol), I missed Rob and Amber too.

Someone mentioned Ian making some funny comments.. I loved his "You dirty rat" voiceover last night :-)

A friend asked me how Rob and Amber are doing on the show (she hadn't watched her tivo'd show from last week) and all I could say was to watch last week's show first.

Add me to the list of those who miss Rob and Amber.

I agree that Eric hasn't showed much maturity in many of the comments that he has made on the show. However, I'm not sure that Eric's comment about "freaks and weirdoes" had a lot to do directly with the Guido's being gay. It may have been more about how they have been behaving on the race (which isn't all that great either). The "Queens" one surely did though.

On a positive note, one good thing that many of these reality shows have demonstrated is just how competitive gay people can be.

I really miss Rob and Amber. Love Danny and Oswald -- still can't stand the Guidos. Don't care who's gay. Insults are flying around everywhere and the gay ones are no worse than the rest. You need a thick skin to compete in this race.
