Ack. Sorry everyone, I got stuck in traffic on the way home from my parents' house. Sadly, I forgot to make sure I was taping tonight and I wasn't!

Danielle commenting on how she ends up doing every roadblock that is designed for a guy. Back at the roadblock place, Eric is saying that he ends up doing the easy roadblocks. Eric/Danielle get their clue and are off. Danny finally back and they get the clue. They are on their way. Oswald says he was just concerned about Danny. Danny says he asked the lady for get him a lemonade and Oswald says, "So while I was worried about you, you had a lemonade? We are so even right now." Eric/Danielle and Danny/Oswald on the way. As usual, the editors try to keep it a secret but Eric/Danielle are team #3. Phil says they can't be happy about getting yielded. Danielle says there was no reason for it and she's a little pissed. Oswald/Danny are team #4. They hug (because they thought they were the last team to arrive)... Phil says, "Well, you're not the first team to arrive." When they realize they aren't last, they hug. Uchenna/Joyce finally land. They talk about having to just keep plugging along. We don't see them do any of their tasks and they are the last team to arrive and they have been eliminated. They hug. Uchenna, "Good job." They say they know how hard it is to win. Joyce says it is a strange feeling to be eliminated. Joyce says there is a new spark that she can appreciate. She can't imagine life without Uchenna. Uchenna says they've made the choice to stay together and try to make it work.

Eric and Danielle were livid that they were yielded...Eric went so far as to refer to the BQ's not once but twice as "dirty hookers". He's just so CLASSY. In my opinion, the BQ's used the yield in the way it was intended, strategially as opposed to vengefully. They went back and forth between E & D and Cha Cha, trying to decide who was going to be the most competition, in the hopes of eliminating them. They had no way to know that U & J were so far behind, in fact they really could have believed they were ahead. I would be so happy if E & D were eliminated next.

Sad to see Joyce and Uchenna go. They've always been one of my favourite teams. I absolutely fell in love with them during the challenge where Joyce shaved her head, and Uchenna kept telling her she had a beautiful skull. I am glad they went out the way they did, though. They took a risk, really played the game. I get so frustrated when teams (on any reality show) get mad at other teams (and take personally) when a team uses an advantage (ex. the yield). It's part of the game!!!!! I like Dustin and Kandice. I liked them last season and I think they play a clean, aggressive game. The "hooker" remarks were totally uncalled for, especially considering they came from the man who cancelled taxis booked by other teams during his season.

Uchenna and Joyce didn't have to do any of the tasks, that's why we didn't see them. When they finally arrived, their first "clue" just sent them to the pit stop. I had totally forgotten about them and was on the edge of my seat, praying for a non-elim. round so Danny and Oswald wouldn't be eliminated! LOL (DUH!)

Did some of these people never play Monopoly or Sorry as children? Why is it a "dirty" trick to use the Yield? Heck, I'd probably use that yield every chance i got. It's a RACE, people. I LIKE it when people play strategically, and I love the way the BQ's play. I just flat out enjoy watching them and Danny/Oswald. It's funny how Mirna/Charla think it's ok to hog the computers, but a tool like the Yield is considered bad. Blech. And Mirna's complaining about how she does everything? What is wrong with her? She talks about how others don't like or respect Charla, but I'd say she hasn't shown Charla much liking, respect, or kindness on this race.

No, once they got to the clue box a note telling them to go directly to the pitstop was rubber-banded around the clue.

I agree - using the Yield is playing the game! So is jumping and removing your opponent's "men" in checkers or chess! Not cruel and unusual punishment - just an element of the game. I COULD point out that the BQ's had to wait FOUR hours for the next team to arrive at the roadblock and did no complaining and moaning, while Eric and Dani had only an hour to wait - but I will refrain!

Thanks, LadyTex. They actually showed what the "clue" said, Color, so we knew that they were going directly to the pit stop. The note was inside the envelope, just like a 'normal' clue would be. (Got the Tivo so I could rewatch it. )

I hope Eric (and Danielle) feel duly chastised when they actually watch the episode and realize that Dustin and Kandice didn't use the yield maliciously. But I fear that may be asking too much with Eric!

Well if you ask me...using the yeild is part of the game and so is hogging both computers so your opponents can't get a crack at them. I love Charla and Mirna!!!! ::flees:::

Ummmmm ... I actually didn't mind Charla and Mirna tonight. I liked it when Mirna told the little girl who helped her with the papers .. stay in school, don't do drugs etc. It was very cute! And they didn't bicker this week as they had in the past. Still .... go Team Cha Cha!!

I tuned in for only the last 20 minutes and like Teach, I was on pins & needles worrying the cha chas would be eliminated. I want them in the finals along with the BQ's. I'm hoping whoever else is left comes in a distant third.

Charla and Mirna are pretty funny. I don't like how Mirna keeps saying that she does all the work but I was happy that they understood about the computers and the check-in desk. Oswald and Danny were pretty stressed out but generally kept their good humor and were still fun to watch. I've never been a big fan of Uchenna & Joyce. It's not that I disliked them – I just got tired of all of their talk about working on their relationship. I love the BQs. They are one of my all time favorite teams. Using the yield was simply strategic on their part and part of the game. No malice. Finally Eric and Danielle. Some of the stuff Eric says is just so out there I can't comment on it in a polite way. And Danielle hasn't exactly shown a lot of brilliance from what we have seen of her on the race.
