Back with Charla/Mirna begging their cab driver. They are trying to bargain with him. For $50 he agrees to show them. Mirna, "God help me get out of this country."

Dustin/Kandice and Joe/Bill appear to be on the right track, etc. Joe/Bill saying that they think they are good with a map, etc. Eric/Danielle's driver stops. He doesn't want to take them the whole way there so he shows them where to go.

Charla/Mirna's driver stops and they tell him where to go again. Mirna asking Charla what is she doing in the backseat. Charla says she is doing nothing, just sitting back there to be yelled at by Mirna.

Dustin/Kandice and Joe/Bill and Eric/Danielle all in Skala.

ROADBLOCK. Who wants to be a knight in shining armor? They have to don full suit of authentic medieval armor. Deliver horse to stable boy and check in to get clue.

Dustin/Kandice there. Not sure which one did it. Joe/Bill and Eric/Danielle still searching. Charla/Mirna aren't sure where their driver is going.

Eric/Danielle and Joe/Bill seem to figure out where to go now. Charla/Mirna arrive now. Charla is going to do it.

Charla leading her horse now.

Eric/Danielle and Joe/Bill finally see the castle. Mirna is yelling at Charla to walk a straight line.

Eric/Danielle arrive and Eric is going to do it. Joe/Bill arrive Bill is going to do it.

Dustin/Kandice finish and arrive at the pit stop. They are team #3.

Mirna begging with Charla to navigate this horse.

Eric leading his horse now with Danielle right beside him. Charla, meanwhile, falls down. Mirna says things are hard in life sometimes. Mirna keeps telling Charla to come on. Charla falls again at the stable yard.

Charla/Mirna are team #4. They say, "good job"

Joe/Bill are fifth team to arrive but they have to wait out 30 minutes. They say it doesn't sound good.

Eric/Danielle arrive and they are team #5.

Joe/Bill have been eliminated from the race. They say they can't think of a time when they've had more fun together. They say they can walk away with their heads held high. They say it has been a wonderful, life-altering experience again. They say life is supposed to be enjoyed and they think they've done that.

I am confused about something. Was Mirna allowed to coax on the horse like that? Plus help Charla when she fell?

Next week on TAR: Charla/Mirna infuriate Eric/Danielle. Even Oswald/Danny hit their boiling their point.

Sorry to see the Guidos leave. Silver lining is there is still a "villain" team to root against--Eric and Danielle.

Please note that when the BQ's have to Wait FOUR HOURS for their partners at the intersection, they are not pissing and moaning as some other teams just MIGHT have been doing.

Three "good" teams: Cha Cha Cha, the BQ's and Uchenna and Joyce
Two "villians": Eric and Danielle and Mirna and Charla. Although I feel sorry for Charla...can you imagine being in court against Mirna? You'd plead out just to make her stop talking!

I'd be happy with either a Cha or BQ victory...but I was surprised how much I liked Guido compared to S1. I think they have really mellowed.

Thanks for spoiling Raen!

Tonight I finally moved the BQs into the plus column. They handled Schmirna and the sausage task with grace and humour.

I'm confused about something. Tonights episode description said two people/teams have a fight, but I didn't see one. Did I miss it?

Great spoiling Raen. You catch every moment.

For the first time (that I recall) one team leaves for another leg of the race (BQ's) before all the teams have finished the previous one. I so agree with you about the BQ's Tntitanfan. Not only did they not whine, they really didn't want to do that part of the race with Char/Mirna, but went right out and got them. While Shmirna complained about eating the sausages, the BQ's were once again upbeat and just wanting to get the chore done.

Last week, I was wondering if Romber were sitting at home watching the show and thinking if only they had beaten Shmirna the week they were elimated, mighten they have come in first two more times, lol. If they were still in the game, they'd prob. be doing very well.

Something else I noticed in the two shows tonight is that there wasn't really a catchup point. Usually the teams have to sleep overnight for something to open, but that didn't happen, so when the flights were delayed, it really put a couple of the teams behind.

When this was going on, Mirna was screaming at the cab driver and addressing him as "my friend". Huh? NOT No cabbie (or anyone) wants to be their friend when they're screamed at by that pair.

Dang, dang, dang ~ I was really hoping Mirna wouldn't be able to drive and they would be out for once and for all. And again Charla is made to do the task while Mirna does nothing but criticize her ~ UGH.

I agree with I_wings in that the BQ handled being paired up with the two well. Then again, they didn't have alot of choice as they didn't know how long they might have to wait for the next arrivals.

I'm sorry to see Bill and Joe go but they gave it a good fight considering how far behind they were.

I hope the Cha Cha's don't get too stressed next week!

Too bad the BQs and Bill and Joe didn't get to team up.. they were the two fastest teams at eating and handled the horses well and it might have given Bill and Joe that needed half hour. Hard to say until we see the times next week.

It was unfortunate that they had the forced team up after someone was marked for elimination but really it was the extreme difference in last week's arrival times that I suppose made the biggest difference.

Ah just re-reading and of course Joe and Bill and Danielle and Eric getting lost and having to change tasks hurt as well.

I think Mirna went to the Donald Trump School of Fabricated Facts or something. Just as Trump proclaims he has the "number one show on television," Mirna claims she is the one who does all the work on the tasks and basically just carries Charla along on her coattails. Every time I hear her say that, I remember their first season, and that huge rack of ribs they had to carry some distance. All she did was whine and cry about it, and Charla finally took this slab of ribs (almost as big as her) on her back and carried it the rest of the way. And that was only one example.

Yup, Charla is one lucky woman to have Mirna there to carry the weight of the team every task.

OK, so Mirna really is starting to get on my nerve. She changes reality to match her current perception. "We're in the back of the pack as always"? WTF? You came in first in two out of the three last legs. "I'm always doing everything"? Well, yeah, and yelling at people as you go. I don't see a whole lot of empathy for Charla from her, and really liked that Charla stood up to her yelling and yakking in the car. It's a bit mean, but I was laughing when Mirna couldn't get anyone to help her in Poland. Yeah, hon. Do you really think people will respond when you screech at them?

I remember that bit in their first season, Who! Charla really impressed me that time, too!

I'm loving the BQs even more... they really just sat there, discussed all the angles, and yet didn't whine or cry about being stuck (Danielle would've had a meltdown; Mirna would've been screaming at every passerby).

I'd love to see Danny/Oswald and Dustin/Kandice in the final two! They truly do seem to be the two teams who are most enjoying the ride, who seem to get along with each other, and who complement each other.

And although I'm in the minority, I was never a fan of "Team Guido" and still didn't much like them this season. I think I have a bit of a prejudice against them as they remind me of people I've known, but nothing they did ever really impressed me.

Two feet of sausage. Aside from being a vegetarian, there's no way in heck I could've done that challenge. I don't think I'd be physically capable of getting that much sausage in my stomach. I'm not sure why none of them bailed and headed to the bagel thing (other than the fact that E/D and J/B couldn't find the bakery).

what is with Mirna's accent and disjointed sentence structure? Is that for real or is she trying sound like the accent of the country she is in?

Mirna's accent comes and goes. When she's in confessional, or walking away with Charla, she has almost no accent. I have no idea why she does it but it's annoying as all heck.

I didn't think it was possible for Mirna to come off looking worse than she did her first time on AR, but she definitely is. She's the epitome of the condescending, ugly American. She's got to understand that talking like a slow child isn't the international language...

Both Oswald/Danny & Dustin/Kandice have carried themselves and raced with grace and elegance and I'm really rooting for one of them to win.

Uchenna/Joyce aren't the best racers, but they're likable, and with a few breaks they'll be in the final 3.

Eric/Danielle seem more and more like oil & water together. I think individually or paired with different partners they'd both be stronger. I'd bet they're next out, because even with all of Charla/Mirna's flaws, they're still better Racers than these two.

Farewell, Guido's. They weren't as bad as their 1st season to watch, and that's about all I have to say about them.

The sojourn to Auschwitz was one of the most poignant moments on any AR. I'm glad they were able to add than in as destination.

I loved the "Perfect Pitch" challenge! Charla & Mirna must have totally tin ears!! It hurt my ears when the musician tried playing it. The BQ's did SO well - It was fun watching how the work through a problem - they LISTEN, they REVIEW, they carefully EXECUTE - they ROCK!

I always wondered how it was possible for something like Auschwitz to have happened. But seeing the people look away and not make eye contact. For me and I repeat for me it was a moment of ok I can see the same thing happening over sixty years ago. Of course we can blame Myrna for her people skills. But I saw a huge number of people looking the other way not willing to be helpful here more then any other leg of the race. I felt it was more then Myrna. It was more of a coldness.

Anyways I'm still loving the cha cha guys.

from reality blurred....

In Poland, Charla adopted the odd accent she and Mirna adopt when speaking in English to non-English speakers and asked a cab driver, “You like Polish hot dogs? You like polish sausage?” The cab driver ignored her. “He doesn’t like us too much,” she said through clenched teeth. “No, I don’t think so,” Mirna said. Hey, maybe if you told him a Polish joke he’d be more conversational.
“You know how to speak? You know how to talk?” Mirna asked some people, pointing at her lips. Then she told us, “It was frustrating to not understand why they wouldn’t reach out to two young girls asking for help. … Maybe they’ve never seen a little person.” Or, maybe they’ve never seen such a patronizing b*tch before.


LOL
