Was it Jennifer of Nathan/Jennifer who, after hawking up a juciy loogie, called a member of another team a "fricken' little b..."? Charming. Not.

Loving this show once again. I don't have a favorite team yet. Did anyone else besides me catch the commercial the other day about the next Amazing race season? I think it was during Kid Nation(don't hold me to it though). It said If your interested in being on the next Amazing Race go to CBS.com and sign up!!!! Woohooooo-looks like there is going to be at least one more.

Makays, someone upthread said there's a race being filmed now and they're taking applications for the one after that. Two more at least?! Maybe most of the guys tried doing the "ground work" on the furniture lifting detour first because of the strength needed to pull up the furniture. Ladies did alright though.

Ronald really bothers me. His daughter completes the task and he laughs and says "I could have done it better." He brings her to tears just so he can hear himself talk. He says she weighs too much. She keeps looking to him for approval and he gives none. I hope he loves her but cannot show it.

How could Nickolas let Donald do that jump. In what parallel world is a grandfather a better athlete than a grandson in pole vaulting. Nickolas with his long legs could have landed on the grass easily. In the previews, once again the animal is blamed. The camel wont give milk. You talk to them,massage the udder and the milk falls. I hate it when the racers yell at these animals and pull them instead of lead them. The animals are sentient. Quit it!

I loved how Christina was explaining her POV to her dad and he was agreeing and saying he needed to change, he really knows that he and she says very diplomatically that he needs to change TONIGHT!! LOL She knows him well enough that he was giving her lip service with no intention to carry-through. I think if they stay in the race long enough that they will be just fine. Whether or not HE changes, I think Christina will learn how to not take it personally and how to confront him (not that she should have to). This seems to be his way of coping with stress, by scapegoating and rambling but he does seem genuinely affectionate as well.

Did any other BB watchers catch the line when either Kate or Pat said that they were religious people but they had no grand illusions that God cared whether they win the race or not? LOVED that line! A throwback to Jameka thinking God had it all worked out for her. I laughed my backside off.

I loved that Gurlie and its not the first time they had made that point. It's something that always bugs me.... when the religious racers feel God will help them win. If there is a God and helping reality show contestants is how he is spending his time then as a global community, we need to be demanding a refund.

I am sad that Pat and Kate left the race so early. I didn't think they would win but they were so refreshing to watch. They enjoyed every moment of the race and were pleasant to other teams and each other. Plus last night's show we come to find out that Kate (I think) survived some kind of cancer. You go girl!

I wish Kate and Pat stayed longer because I think they could have been instrumental in getting Ronald to change his ways with his daughter. Sometimes it takes an outsiders perspective and advice and I think they would have been able to give it in a gentle, caring way.

From the previews, it doesn't look like Ronald does much changing.

I was sad to see this team go too. Loved the comment about God not caring if they won the race. I think they brought a very interesting spiritual perspective to the race without being preachy about it. So far, 2 teams I wanted to see stay for a while have gone. Bummer. I think the father daughter team is one of my least favorites now. He is turning into a villian right before my eyes. I feel really bad for his daughter. She may be glad he was gone working a lot as she grew up after seeing this side of him!

I remember it as being the girl from the bickering team that called one of the blondes as little "B". But I could be wrong. I'm not crazy about either the bickering team or the blondes...all that crap (can I say that here?) about not being able to have a manicure and needing a chiopractor...WE GET IT! You are spoiled vain blondes...GIVE IT A REST!

I have so much thoughts here I hope I'll control myself. Well, I'm glad I didn't watch this epi with my DD! I have to work at the exact same time the show is on. So I finally did see the tape this morning. I laughed, cried, laughed and cried again! I saw my Father, mother, grandma and myself in Ronald and Christina.... We can label Ronald nagger, abusive, scapegoating, ..., but I do think he was just stressed out and worried. Most of the nonsense he picked on Christina was just him trying to look at every angle, being helpful by trying to be thorough. His biggest worry is that he would be the reason they'd be eliminated. That's the only reason he's shifting blame/responsibility. Don't worry Dogdoc, she knows he loves her and does not know how to show it. He's probably been talking to his entire family that exact way for her whole lifetime! The Nagging and Nick-picking in your eyes is the way people like Ronald shows love. Before you codename him totally, remember that he most likely grew up with parents just like that! I hope you don't think it's an act of ducking behind the Chinese Culture when I say that. Affections from father, what's that? As the oldest of five in my father's house, I recall all the yearnings for "closeness" from him. Yet I also remember vividly the day he pushed me away and told me how I was too old to jump on his lap, trying to hold his hand while walking, and the day I just tried to lean against him. I remember each dress I was wearing and where we were going and all that. But I was only 8, 10 and 9 y.o. They have trouble "showing" it, really! Even now that they're grandparents many times and do get very physical with the young ones, we only get to hug each other when we say hello and goodbye on and off the airplane! The visit in between is packed with ... you should go back and finish Grad school like the daughter of the Wang's.... You know your feet are too ugly to wear sandals... if you get any fatter your husband should be allowed to have girl friend... I'm not sure I have stated my point yet, but it's too hard to go on. Rissa is right. Christina knows what's what. Let's hope Ronald will learn by seeing himself this way unless he already did during the trip...

IMO, Ronald is very lucky that someone else was home to bring up his daughter. Someone who taught her tremendous patience and respect for her elders.
