Tanzanite: It was funny when Phil laughed about all those teams arriving together after traveling thousands of miles! I think this was the the finish order - 1) Azaria & Hendekea 2) TK & Rachel 3) Nate & Jen 4) Kynt & Vyxsin 5) Ron & Christina 6) Nick & Don 7) Shana & Jennifer 8) Lorena & Jason 9) Marianna & Julia (eliminated)

That sudden storm was something! Even though Lorena was on the verge of a Flo-like meltdown, I did feel bad for her. No sympathy from me for Shana & Jennifer however, they were thoroughly unpleasant and callous. I thought the Detours were good but those poor camels, being pulled by those rings through their noses. That can't be comfortable. I hope Ron's injury doesn't hamper his & Christina's racing too much.

My favorites now are Azaria & Hendekea. They are so respectful besides being so beautiful. When the camel kicked at Hendekea, he just backed up and said "Oh My Goodness!" That kid has manners! I can imagine the others had to be blipped out.

Mine too, Supergranny. They rocked in the teach/learn challenge, too. My whole family loves them. They use their heads, are nice to each others and other racers and are so happy to be in the different countries and have new experiences. They are just pure fun to watch.

I think what makes them easier to watch as well as that it isn't so out of the line for young siblings to snap at one another occasionally. I don't think they do it a ton, but when they do it is way more acceptable than say a dating couple. I am enjoying them as well. Does anyone know how old they are?

I sure wish it had been Shana and Jennifer leaving. I liked the sisters very much and still have hope for Lorena (I like Jason). Actually I felt for Lorena and the others who got dry camels.. would have been better for the camels and those who got the ones who didn't have babies nursing since I'm sure it pisses off a camel to be milked if there isn't much milk to be milked, ya know? But I must admit that I'd probably have a meltdown if I got kicked and lost the milk in the bowl. Azaria and Hendekia are awesome! Calamity I have the same arrival order and I was taking meticulous notes (not sure why). I think they don't call anything a Yield this year but there is a U-Turn. This info was buried in one of the long interviews with the teams on Buddy TV and I can't remember who it was who mentioned it and exactly what they said.. but that it was different.

Those ages are interesting Sea. There is such a big age gap there of 27 years. Do they think that you have to be young or older to be fun to watch?

I wonder if it's to do with the people who apply - from 30 to 55 people are often doing the family thing and can't leave their families as easily as singles/no kids yet (under 30s) or empty nesters (50s+).

Completely agree, Ladyt!! At first I thought she was commenting on Vyxsin and Kynt.. but I think this blonde team seems not able to appreciate other cultures or even other lifestyles/colors from their own country, hmm? Of course it was the other Jennifer who called K/V "the freaks". Kitt, good point and I think that is probably often true, though two of the older four had to take time off from work at church (and had to get the blessing of their bishop to do the race) and I'm not sure if Ronald is retired or still working.

I thought I was the only one that kept getting Hank Azaria stuck on the brain everytime I hear Hendekea say his name lol. And Hank Azaria makes me think of Moe on the Simpsons, so I get Simpsons flashbacks with my Amazing Race!

The way Lorena kept YANKing on the camel's milk spigot, I would have kicked her too (if I were a camel). Plus all the screaming, I thought they were told upfront that loud noises would upset the camel. Like Jimmer said, too bad the sisters gave up the race by telling her to go find a Mom&Baby camel pair. The sisters were so much more likable and pleasant to watch, I'm sad to see them leave. ITA with many folks, Azaria & Hendekia are so respectful and pure joy to watch!

Oh, Ronald is definitely still working. It would not occur to him that people think he is old enough to be retired. Ladytex, I think they put a blonde airhead team on this show every season just to aggravate you.

I actually like Lorena and Jason but yeah, I loved the sisters and was sorry they lost out, especially for being helpful.

According to imdb she's had small parts in a few shows. But I think she dated Ryan Seacrest, or someone like that, so that might be where you've seen her. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0908483/

They've just mentioned it on Extra! Sounds like she and Ryan might be rekindling their romance... somewhat convenient timing...

I think Lorena's main problem is she gets frustrated easily, which is then followed by panic. If she had calmed down, she may have gotten done a lot faster than if she had tried to push it like she did. That's a key thing in the Race-keeping calm when things out of your control occur. Mariana/Julia apparently didn't get along well with the other teams from what I've heard- if you saw the video at the CBS site where they're showing the eliminated teams, they got a bit of a frosty reception. I've also heard they got into a shouting match with Ronald/Christina during a pit stop rest period, and that also alienated them further.

Even in the first episode they were way too tense to play this game successfully.
