I think part of the hernia business may be FEAR. I've had relatives and coworkers deal with that, especially from work related injuries. Perhaps, it's not only the pain factor, but the MAJOR worry that: 1) if that hernia turns bad, it could toss them out of the race & he would have failed his daughter. 2) if that hernia turns bad, they could happen to be in some 3rd World Country locale where medical intervention might not be as upscale as needed. Yeah, if I were in his boots, I would be worried too. But I think that may be why he keeps bringing it up.

It depends on where the herniation occurred. It could be in a place where every time he moves he feels it, and therefore it's at the forefront.

Wilson, yes I saw the people trying to distract the counters but still think that the counting was a better task for Ronald and Christina. The others caused more distraction themselves than the festival people did. lol

It would have been OK if Ronald did it. If Christina did it, she would never finish because he would interrupt her every few minutes to tell her she was doing it wrong. I wondered why one counter did not start on one end and the other on the other and meet in the middle.

Yes, I did hear them discuss it, but I think they were nearly finished by that time.

..thank you for the chart at the main page. TK&R played a good game, I am glad they made it first, TK was over the moon about their prize. Each time Jeff described a new take on the prize TK almost faints. Love them go TK&R!

You are making me feel guilty for simply lurking...LOL! I think I'm still worn out from the animal debate last week. Who do we want to go out next? I would vote Jennifer/Nathan off the island next, followed closely by Donald/Nicholas. Any others?

I would have to say Jennifer/Nathan. Donald and Nicholas don't annoy me nearly as much as Jen/Nathan.

LOL, Lexie! I appreciate the company! The two teams that I liked the least are already gone, so somebody else can pick this week's loser!

I also don't like Jen/Nathan. And in their case, I find both of them distasteful. I don't like the way they talk to each other and treat each other. All of the do that some time, but with them it is a constant thing. I firmly believe they would be happier apart. As the song says, If It Don't Come Easy, Better Let It Go. I don't care much for Ronald, but at least some of the things he says are amusing and he does seem to be trying to not be such a jerk.

Yes, I don't think Ronald is deliberately a jerk...I just think he is kind of culturally naive. Is that a nice enough way of putting it?

I know that Nathan and Jen have not exactly gotten in 1st place yet but I have been surprised by their success so far. Two 2nd place wins???and one of them (for sure) was practically 1st place. Maybe I'm wrong, but I always remember the token "mentally abusive" couple always did bad?? They were always so busy being negative and breaking each other down that they couldn't perform well. I was annoyed to see Nathan and Jen achieve such high rankings among the racers. My ideal "boot" list: Next: Nathan and Jen After them: Nicholas and Donald After them: Ronald and Christina Here's hoping!!!

Four days after and there are still folks here! How about a glass of wine all around? I am from the south - BIG surprise! - and we always offer refreshments when there is company visiting!

Actually, I kind of like Nicholas and Donald. They both have a sense of humor and can laugh at themselves when they screw up. That goes a long way with me. I'll take that wine and raise you some cheese. I am from Texas and always love company. Ya'll come back now. LOL

Rosie, I think Ronald volunteered that he had good balance, so he and Christina took the stilt option..

It is FRIDAY, and there are people here! I am so excited! I think Ronald has to feel that he is competant at everything - hence the balance statement. Me, I get dizzy on a footstool! What amazes me about this race is that there are so FEW spoilers out about it. It is like the PTB were able to select invisible contentants!

Finally got caught up on the past two shows. Shana and Jennifer (is that their names? the blondes?) pulled the one thing I cannot stand to see the racers do... pull the tear strip off the clue and toss it on the ground. If those two did stop to pick up their trash, I wished they'd edited in so I wouldn't have such a bad taste in my mouth.

Yes, that bugs me too. But in some of the first races, EVERYONE did that. Then it seemed to stop for the most part, like maybe they were told not to litter other countries.

I think I read somewhere that they have production staff pick up those strips. That doesn't really excuse it though.
