I'm getting this started a little early because I won't be around right before the show and thought I'd give a heads up to any other spoilers on the East Coast in case I don't make it back until after the show has started.

I am picking my parents up at the airport and their flight was delayed so now they won't be landing until 7:15. Theoretically, I have time to pick them up and make it home on time but I'm not counting on that. So, if there's anyone around who can help out with spoiling, that'd be lovely!

If I'm back on time, I'll spoil as usual. If not, I'll check to see if someone else is handling it or not. (And, if not, I'll spoil as I watch my tape... I'll be behind when it's airing elsewhere but still ahead of the West.)

I'll be watching tonight too - I'm just not into all the hoopla over the Oscars & will be just as happy to read about them tomorrow.

Forgot this was on and came here to see what I missed. Can't spoil as I just turned it on, but Rob and Amber came in as Team #1 again.

BQ's, team 6, Teri and Ian, team 7. Previous post should have been teams 3, 4 and 5.
Sorry, also missed team 2.

Wow. Haven't Charla and Mirna followed people earlier in the race? In fact, weren't they following David and Mary earlier this episode? They really had no right to condemn the BQ's when they decided to go on and not pay the cabbie. They are too much. And I'm sorry, but Mary is just extremely un-enjoyable to watch. Can't wait for her to go.

If Drew was in so much pain why did he agree to do the show???

Mary is un-enjoyable. I'm not a fan of the beauty queens either.

My favs (right now) are Rob & Amber and the two guys that came in 2nd. LOVE THEM

Danny and Oswald are the opposite of Mary. They are just so much fun to watch, even when things aren't going their way. They're still my favorite team.

Couldn't agree more. I was LOL when Romber finished first yet again. They have to be among the best to ever play this game. And Amber was quick to figure out the clue in the boardroom. They make a great team.

I don't think that the BQs did anything wrong by choosing not to pay for the taxi and going on ahead. Why not? Notice that there seems to be a common denominator in many of the conflicts. I think Charla & Mirna are working their way through each team with various arguments.

I love watching Oswald & Danny. They are super fun.

I was relieved when Kevin & Drew were eliminated. They were a lot of fun to watch the first season, but it was obvious that Drew's health problems were too much for him to overcome and it was hard to watch them struggle and not have a good time.

Charla and Mirna do seem to have a self righteous bent to them don't they. After Mary and David pulling them out of the mud and Mary giving Charla one of the clues in the boardroom, how in the world do they have the nerve to condemn the BQs for following them?

I have no argument with them asking the girls to pay half of the cost of the driver's fee, but when they decided they could not afford it, and to go on on their own, why were they so bitter against them. And talking about how they were the moral ones was kind of sickening.

And after they passed up Mary and David and they in turn passed Carla and Mirna up, they got angry and Mirna muttered something about, "If that is the way you want to play the game."

It just floors me that these two can't see that they are not better or more moral than the other teams. That is what turned me off on them the last time. I kind of liked them at first but then got sick of them.

Mary is finally wakening up. She was falling into the same trap as last time of trying to give her favorites help, and then expecting them to reciprocate. But to expect Charla and Mirna to defer to her because she had helped them in the future was unrealistic. The game was too tight at that point and anything could happen.

As I have said many times, do what you have to do to win as long as you do not hurt someone, but don't be a hypocrite or self righteous about it.

I guess that is one of the things I like about Rob and Amber. They make no bones about the fact they are there to win and do not try to put themselves upon a moral pedestal.

I wonder if Drew had been feeling better, he might have noticed that they were back in the higher speed limit. His refusual to go over 40 actually lost them the game.

I felt bad for Drew. Does anybody know what is exactly wrong with him? To me it seems like there is more than just a bad back going on.

Funny how every body calls them Chirna and Smirna...but I'm the minority bacause I actually like them.

wow Drew shocked me with his poor sportsman behaviour at the end. He looks like he has cancer, I am glad they are out, it was painful to watch them.

YAH Romber! I am really liking Chachas too!

Mirna irritates me she whines constantly. I love Charla though

I am not sure it was as much poor sportsmanship as it was sheer exaustion and feeling ill. He really looks awful.

I got a little irritated at Mary when they were still working on the nuts on the big tire...as the last couple of teams left before them she was just standing watching the other teams leave instead of working to finish the job. You have to worry about what you're doing not the other teams!

Mary and David are really lucky to be still there tonight. The others had a pretty good lead on them and blew it by going the wrong way.

I am kind of glad it was Drew and Kevin out tonight. It was painful to watch Drew struggle and Kevin trying so hard to be patient and understanding and sometimes failing.

I like Mirna and Charla too. I don't understand why Mary was mad. I think Mirna and Charla would help them in another task if it comes up, but they can't expect them to drive slower just to help Mary.

Why did M & C complain about others following them? It was a narrow road in the middle of nowhere with no turn-offs.

I'm in agreement with the relief that Kevin & Drew are gone. In their season they were a delight, no matter where they finished. Funny, loyal, unpretentious, great guys.

It seems that Drew was injured before the race (his back, I think), and I really felt for both of them. I hope Drew is okay now, and that both of them are doing well. I'll miss the Early Show, so I'd love it if anyone could post.

Yay Romber and Cha Chas


I agree, better for the Frat boys to leave. I like them but there's just too much pain there. I hope they can rest up at that nice place in Acapulco.

I thought both Charla and Mirna were completely self-righteous. I'm no fan of the BGs but they did nothing wrong; what were they supposed to do just curl up and wait til Charla and Mira were over the horizon?

I'm trying to remember, but was Joyce and Uchenna's season one where they had to do equal numbers of individual tasks.. Joyce just wasn't getting it and then when she did she told Ian.. not a great move though it didn't end up mattering in that leg.

I liked that Amber quietly helped the Cha Chas.. those two teams did a great job of overcoming the flight delay that had them coming in later than the rest of the teams.. they stayed focussed, did great at the task after the board room too. I like these two teams because they encourage each other too. Rob was so pleased to see Amber doing a good job with the giant scooper thing..

Danny and Oswald crack me up.. "my manicurist would be really upset" and then being moved to tears by the beauty of the Vally of the Moon.. nice!

The Guidos are another supportive team with a sense of humor so far.

If Mary wants to ally, fine, but they came into the season saying they would not and they just cannot stay on their own game plan.

Just watching the CBS clips:

It's clear that by the 2nd episode Drew is in bad shape. It's painful to watch, because Drew is hurting & angry and Kevin is trying his "Kevinesque" best to keep him moving forward. Danny & Oswald & Romber had a conversation about it, all very sympathetic as to what he was going through. Drew had refused to quit because he didn't want to let people down.

Eric & Danielle share some info with Uchenna & Joyce, very friendly.

Several clips on Mirna/Charla & Mary/David--bonding. Mirna & Charla are running this race for their grandmother, who died--was hit by a car after watching videos of the Amazing Race with them. Mary has trouble believing that, keeps bringing up Johnny Fairplay from Survivor.
