Did any one catch when Mirna said somthing to the effect of "I cant drive a 5 speed"..dont you think that-that would be number one on your list of things to do/learn befor going on Allstars?

Clearly you would want to take some driving lessons with various automatic transmission configurations and that includes driving on the left side of the road on the right side of the car.

Seems like you'd work on strength and cardio and of course brush up on a few common phrases in Spanish and a few other languages.

I agree that one of the Kevin/Drew team does not look well. He seemed sluggish and had dark, tired looking circles under his eyes.

Is there a penalty for ruining a car by driving the rubber right off the rim like that? There should be.

I thought the same thing about the 5 speed driving. When she said she couldn't drive a 5 speed, I said 'huh? You had to know you would have to at some point.'

Amber totally lost the small inkling of like that I had left for her when she made those comments about when asked who they wanted to race against they said nobody but that when the other contestants were asked they would all say Rob and Amber. OMG! Conceited any?

Chili, I think what she meant was that everyone would say they were the team to beat. I don't think she meant to be conceited. Like the first TAR they were on everyone kept saying Rob and Amber were the team to beat and their response has always been that these other teams shouldn't worry about each other but should worry about their own race.

Maybe Drew or Kevin had cancer (and the other shaved head in sympathy), so bald heads and are keeping heads shaved? Were they bald first time 'round?

I'll listen to the tape again later and post exactly what Amber said then.

Drew is a Court Officer and was hurt in an altercation at work. He was two herniated discs among other injuries and is on a lot of prescription meds right now. That is why he looks sick and moves slowly.

Well Amber sure did sound conceited to me!

I also thought both Drew and Kevin looked like cancer victims.

I did not think that Jill and John Vito should have been in all stars at all. There were tons of other teams that would have been more suitable for all stars (John&Kris, the hippies, heck even Victoria and her pita husband).

Uchenna & Joyce sure do not seem as on top of things as they used to be. So sad that they never got pregnant.

Joyce and Uchenna started out slow in their season.

From what I understand Kris and Jon pulled out at the last minute.

Victoria just had a baby. I'm sure Jonathan is too busy telling her badly she's doing with it to bother with TAR.

But I don't know why the hippies were not there.

I liked Jon Vito and Jill and was sorry that they didn't do better.

As I understand it, the hippies were not invited.

I love Kevin and Drew because they are so funny, but hate to see Drew so ill. Seems like they should have chosen to not race under the circumstances.

I agree, better not to race.

They were both always bald, even back in season one.

I think the hippies and chip and Kim have posted or blogged that they were not asked to race.

Amber did come across as very conceited last night. I loved them in the first TAR they were on, but didn't like them (mostly her) at all last night.

I liked Jon Vito and Jill. I like the way they seem to have genuine respect and caring for each other even after they broke up. Was sorry to see them go.

Probably not a popular opinion, but I want David and Mary out as soon as possible. Her treatment of and atitude towards David is awful and I got more than I wanted of her the first time around. And it's funny that they are so quick to adopt behavior that they supposedly deplored in others the first time around.

If it were up to me, I would not have had:
•John Vito & Jill (not allstar material to me)
•Eric/Danielle (not allstar material to me, were not even a team before)
•Drew/Kevin (I think the happy memories of them would be better than their current reality)
•Rob/Amber (cuz I focus too much on them & wanting the other teams to beat them)

Teams that I would have liked to have seen:
(I am sure there are many I will miss)
•Kris & John
•Hippies
•the brother sister team from season one or two-Blake might have been the brother's name
•Chip & Kim
•David & Lori (remember them, the ones that were so sweet and in love)

Has anybody watched the video clips on cbs? I love the one with the Cha Chas "channeling their inner cowboys" -- it is too funny. Makes me like them and want to root for them.

Dang the overtime with those sports shows!
I'm happy to read Rean's report, but would still like to watch it later in the week on tape as I do all the shows I like.

I LOVE Danny and Oswald. They have such a great atitude. I loved them the first time, and I loved them last night! They say the funniest stuff. I would jump (or maybe a little hop, anyway) for joy if they won.

Roxip, I would LOVE to see "Cha Chas "channeling their inner cowboys" - they are always such fun! Do you mind sharing where you found it?

Found this video area at CBS that looks interesting,

http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race11/videos.shtml

but there's several videos it looks like. With a dial-up it takes forever to load. So can you please let us know where to target? Thx Bisc

Hey, thank goodness YouTube came through again.

It wasn't on earlier, but now if you type The Amazing Race in the search box and refine it by clicking on "sort by date"(most recent), a three-parter of last night's show could be found!

I'd missed half the show last night, and had to rely on reading Raen's wonderful report only(THANK YOU, Raen!). That's why I thought I'd share this find.

The CBS clips are interesting..

From the interviews with the teams (didn't listen to J and JV)

Dustin & Kandice.. BQ one got married. One learned Italian, they did cardio, packed with vitamins and more tops with at least short sleeves for some countries.

Guidos Joe and Bill. In better shape now, claim to be oldest team at 56 and 53. Speak some French, some Spanish, some Italian.

Erik & Danielle. he is bitter about the flags, she packed much less this time. He told her do to cardio

Teri & Ian.. regrets, wrong cab ride, Ian good at water comps, Teri with heights and puzzles.

Rob & Amber just commonsense, can't really get too far ahead due to bunching.

Charla & MIrna, Charla trying to get pregnant IVF, Mirna just got married, they sold his place, live in hers, want to build own place. LOL.. Charla plans to wear wheelie shoes, has practiced and they think she can hold onto Mirna and keep up.

David & Mary. Be good people.. rest of audio was out.

Uchenna & Joyce changed occupation, bolder, warriors consider biggest comp to be Guidos, BQ, Rob & Amber

Oswald & Danny (in different clip, they don't want to be cha cha cha and hate that David and Mary want to call them Cha Cha CHO.. they consider biggest comp besides themselves to beRob & Amber, say so far (this was after first leg) they are nice and polite, fair, friendly, Uchenna & Joyce, are zen like Danny and Oswald, and Terry and Ian (Team Depend), really want it, Talk of team KY (kay why) can't understand forest people and aren't their Chos. prep.. one got a manicure, one got a haircut, shopped, got smaller packs. Both speak English and Spanish, Oswald speaks French, Italian and Portuguese.

Kevin & Drew.. didn't prepare, say they'd be big in Japan

The pitstop clips are ok.. everyone just talking and spacing out.

The first clip from sequester.. really nice house in the hills in Acapulco, big pool, chef, etc. They of course didn't want to be there, wonder who will be next, for fun would like Cha Chas but he thinks it could be Charla and Mirna, she days probably Drew and Kevin.

I saw Joyce on the show Style network show "How Do I Look?" she was getting a makeover cause she wanted to pursue and acting career. U said that he wanted to support her dream. Of course, they gave her extensions, but I guess they were too much upkeep for the race.

Oswald and Danny's clip was on inner tube on cbs.com. I guess we aren't supposed to call them Team Cha Cha anymore. I kind of thought that fit their spirit! Maybe now they want to be team butch?

I love Joyce's short hair. She even looked beautiful with her head shaved with those big eyes.

Liked Dave and Mary the least this time. Why are they there? I don't like the way she talks to her husband, and I, too, find it very ironic that they're okay with lying to other teams this time around. Hope it comes back to bite them!

Thanks for the breakdown of the clips on CBS, Seamonkey. I haven't tried watching the team clips, but I found yesterday that I can't access the sequester stuff. Much appreciated!
