More clips: Mirna is terribly upset about the cab driver/BQ indident, in tears while she drives. They gave the cabbie all of their money, $200, and she even gave him her purse. BQ's talk about the same thing, they were followed many times, not sure why Charla/Mirna were so upset. One offered to pay something, but C/M didn't hear it. Kevin & Drew's parting words--great experience, sorry it's over, buddies. (ed.--Really good sports about it all. Wish you the best, guys!) Joyce (immediately after) analyzing why she just couldn't get the Boardroom challenge while Uchenna is just fuming and (wisely) staying silent. A second clip of Joyce still analyzing, Uchenna also carefully justifying his frustration. They're trading barbs, but lovingly. (ed.--this is such a sweet clip!) Eric & Danielle are really annoyed by Ian & Teri, for many reasons. Mirna & Charla clip--apparently Kevin & Drew made a comment that they would be picked on at work because M/C out-ran them. They don't think this is funny, and are hurt--changed their opinion of Kevin & Drew. That's it! The clips are fun, but you have to listen to Sprint ads. Keep one hand on your volume control, because they're LOUD, then you have to turn the sound back up for the clip. My cats hate me right now.

I like Rob and Amber but I also like it when he brags about something (we are the only team on the early flight) and then it goes wrong. (flight delay). How does Amber not understand his strategy by now? When he was hassling the other team, I think she should have waited to correct him.

I thought it was odd that the instructions and the official made such a big deal about the speed limit being 40 and there was no penalty for those that broke the speed limit.

I keep getting the feeling that U/J aren't as happy together as they were before, glad to hear they seemed happier in the extra clips. at the end I thought it was poor sportsmanship but now agree that it was just relief and exhaustion, wish them the best

U said at the very beginning that one of the reasons they were doing the race again was because their marriage was really suffering. The failed IVF treatments had really taken it's toll. They were hoping that working as a team again would help tighten their bond again.

I missed last night's show. Are the episodes rebroadcast later in the week?

Texannie - I didn't see anyone breaking the 40 km speed limit - just everyone trying to speed up when it hit 50, and Drew & Kevin still driving slower.

Mirna just drives me nuts. Charla can be annoying, but that lady has some real grit in her and I do admire that. Mirna has absolutely no grit and she always thinks people are against her. Both Charla and Mirna were on Battle of the Reality Stars, and Mirna was an extremely poor sport there. She claimed to be an excellent runner, so her team put her in the first race, where she promptly lost her shoe while she was running. She did not perform well at all, but when her team voted her off, she said it was because they didn't "like" her. Then the show brought back the voted off people as an extra team, and Mirna gloated openly and pretty nastily when they won. I have never seen Mirna perform well nor have I seen good-sportsmanship from her. I just find it hard to like her, and I wish Charla could have found a better partner. I think I would have enjoyed her enormously with someone who would boost her up instead of bring her down.

Drew/Kevin were wrong about the 40 -- there was a certain section they had to drive 40k -- and then when the road opened/was paved they could drive the speed limit. One of the guys with the maps at the gate said it.

I think Dave & Mary needs to grow up some because they get hurt feelings when someone doesn't help them, and they said they help Charla & Mirina because they are friends, I didn't understand that one, it a race you all can't be friends. It is a race, and I don't understand what was going on with Charla and Mirina and BQ. I like to see Charla and Mirina win or close to win. I agree about U/J they probable need the money.

Due to the big storm this weekend, I had no power and missed this episode. I looked for it on You Tube but only found link to Ep 1, which had been removed due to CBS copyright. I wish they would put full episodes up on their own website then. Thanks for all the recaps!

I think Amber understands Rob perfectly and knew he was just being a hypocrite and a baby (as usual) when another team played "dirty" against him. She knew that his excuse of "just stirring things up" was just BS.

I also think Amber has a right to stick up for the way *she* thinks they should be also. She is her own person, as well as part of the couple. If she doesn't like the way Rob is being, she has a right to speak up to him.

I like that Amber stood up when she thought Rob was being that way. She said that she knows how he likes to play mind games, but she said this time he just made himself look stupid.

I love Amber (I know that I'm in a lonely group). I think I mentioned that she was on a local radio station here after Survivor Australia and she was wonderful, witty and a lot of fun.

Jimmer, I like Amber too. Don't care if she wins, but I have always thought she was likable.

That was a pretty ingenuous Roadblock. But the bolt-tightening Detour was, for me, one of the least fun-to-watch repetitive tasks in TAR history. Maybe the in-fighting of some of the teams got to me, maybe I was distracted by the sobering sight of all that devastation caused by the open pit mine, maybe it was the sheer tedium of the task...I don't know but it was a downer, that's for sure. Although at least I now know there are more snore-inducing tasks than assembling IKEA furniture. But it will be hard to top "find the BP station". I thought the highlight of this episode was the trip through the aptly-named Valley of the Moon. Now this is what I really love about TAR, getting to see such astonishing places. The landscape, the sky, it left me speechless. I sure wouldn't want to get stranded out there though. It was so difficult to see Drew struggle through these two legs. I don't even want to say what I'm really thinking which is that he should never have been signed for All-Stars given his physical condition. His obvious pain had me flinching for him the entire time he was on. Actually I'm very unenthusiastic about this season being All-Stars anyway, even though I like most of the teams.

Quick question - Was Drew suffering with some medical problem before coming onto the race? I didn't watch his season (shame on me, I know!) but he appeared to look very much like my grandfather looked when he was battling cancer. Anyone know?

Jimmer, Denee; Count me in as an Amber fan. I think she is a sweetheart and is a good balance for Rob.

Kaylasmom....Drew was a big guy and seemed to be in pretty good shape during his season....very funny and personable guy. This season was terrible to watch him...he was half the size he was and I've stated several times in this thread that he looked to be very ill. He also reminded me of my dad when he was fighting cancer.

In one of last week's extra clips, Drew said he sustained a back injury (slipped disc and other stuff) due to a brawl at his job as a courtroom officer. He brought along a pretty big bag of the meds he was taking for this injury. I don't think he should have signed up for this Race.

Just checked CBS.com. Unfortunately, there don't appear to be videos of the episodes, but there is a very good episode recap describing it, and photos. Just go to CBS.com, select The Amazing Race from the Select a Show box (top right). Then select Episodes on the AR homepage. Thanks Spear, for clarifying Drew's condition, I had heard something of the sort.

I like Amber too and I started liking Rob better because of how he was with her. I don't think I really started liking them until the first time on TAR and I have to say, I really respect them as racers and how they treat locals and each other. I thought it was cute when Amber spoke up to him, too! He didn't seem too upset about it either despite his first protests about it! I'm so glad Drew is gone. It was painful to watch him and my DH also wondered why he agreed to do the race. I could go forever w/o seeing Mirna again and the same with Dave & Mary. There's no way they were any kind of "all stars." Besides, Rosie set them up very well for being "good sports." Ahem... LOL I'm enjoying that Rob and Amber have (for now) been nice and not super competitive with the Cha Cha Cowboys. Oh, the other thing I could go the rest of my life w/o hearing is: "Rapido!! Rapido!!!" Uccck
