Geez. Andrew/Dan are horrible racers. I honestly don't know how they've managed to make it this far.

Next week on TAR: Dan marches to the beat of his own drummer. After several legs of smooth sailing, Nick and Starr hit a bump in the road.

Raen, you rock!

I know Terence is unpopular but he's been improving and Dan and Andrew bicker like crazy and bug me and this is the second team they have beat, so far, who had better average ranks. Not that it matters to them if they cross the finish line first, of course.

Thanks Reader :-) You did a great job of catching things people were actually saying, something I've never been good at.

Sea: I don't think they have any chance of winning in the end. It's just been, as you said, a matter of bad luck for the other teams so far.

Yeah with Dan/Andrew, for heaven's sake, you have to suck it up and RUN sometimes.. they were just so lucky that T/S spent all that time on the FF attempt.. T/S actually rocked all the tasks otherwise.

Bad luck and of course Ken/Tina giving them that hint last leg, otherwise I think Kelly/Christy might have beaten them (but then K/C might have been penalized for using a cab) I was fine with K/C going home, but T/S. despite Terence's WoodyAllenish fussiness, have done quite well.. until now.

While I couldn't stand Terrence, I hope he wasn't sick after eating any of that meat. If you haven't eaten meat in years, your body has a hard time digesting it. (Suffice it to say, I would not want to be in an enclosed space with him about four hours later! :-))

Andrew and Dan are horrible racers. They've been lucky so far that there's been a team that's messed up somehow (like misreading clues) and have come in behind them. I'm too lazy to go back and look at Sea's stats, but it'd be interesting to see how often they left the pit stops in last place.

Raen, dahling... once again, you ARE the best! Thanks!

* Because they were stopped for speeding, Terence/Sarah will be
penalized 30 minutes at the beginning of the next leg.

This did cause them to start in fourth, but all teams made the same flight to Delhi.

+ Ken and Tina were last to arrive at the Pit Stop, but it is a non-elimination round. In the next leg they will encounter a Speed Bump that only they need to complete.

as long as those boys go out next I am happy, then it will be my dream final 3. I want Dallas/mom to win!

Andrew and Dan are terrible racers. They misread the clues and they are slow and relatively uninspired. I was cheering for Terence and Sarah by the end of this episode, which tells you what I think of Andrew and Dan. At least Terence and Sarah were trying hard, performing well and wanting to win. Plus they were being more supportive of each other. I can't blame Terence for not being able to eat that stuff.

Me too, Jimmer, I've actually been warming up to Terence a little as the weeks went by, plus I didn't like Dan OR Andrew. Well, hopefully they will lose next week AND it won't be non-elimination.

How they haven't been eliminated is beyond me. I just can't believe that so many can't remember to read the entire clue and why someone would try to eat meat when it was put before them. Why didn't he get up and leave at that moment?

Thanks Raen.

I kept cracking up at how Dan and Andrew were bickering like an old married couple.

I was so bummed when they showed it was Dan and Andrew standing on the mat. I am so over them. I want Dallas and Mom to win and Nick & Starr to come in second.

I'm thrilled that it was Sarah and Terrence to leave tonight. They were both just so toxic, I couldn't stand watching either of them. Dan and Andrew are terrible racers, but that fact also makes them hugely entertaining for me to watch, to see just how terrible they can be.

I can't get over how often we see a misread clue mishap this season. I'm sorry, but I'd be reading every clue x3, and ensuring Donners did the same.

Twinkie, I second your top two. Ken and Tina have actually grown on me over the season, and they deserve a F3 finish.

It's probably non-elim next week...The finale is most likely going to be December 7th (Because of other shows CBS has scheduled), and we've only had one non-elim so far.

T&S probably should have bailed on the FF once they saw it was going to be eating meat- It may or may not have made a difference because of how far the places were from each other, but if they had turned around immediately, done the cow detour like they did (I'm surprised no one did the other Detour option, but I guess they all thought learning the instruments would take too long), and hustled doing it, they may have had a reasonable shot. Just trying for so long doomed them.

Yeah, I agree with all you just said, Wilson, including that it is likely to be non-elimination. And probably there will be a bunching point too.. I just don't think Dan and Andrew should win...

Dec 7th is confirmed for the finale, so we have two more episodes before then to remove just one team.

Terence and Sarah should have left the Fast Forward much earlier. I don't know how long they stayed there, but it looked like they lost by just minutes. They should have realised even if they could finish they weren't going to beat Nick and Starr.

Also, you have to remember the FF clue was with the Roadblock clue. They knew part of what the RB would involve ("Who feels a bit peckish?" meant they probably knew the RB would involve chickens somehow), but they didn't know exactly what- It could have meant they would to have had to eat chicken gizzards or something because of the word "peckish"- which also means hungry. They wouldn't have known it was just hunting for eggs until they declared who was doing it.

I think both N&S and T&S took a calculated risk. They most likely figured if they lost the FF, they may have had time to get back and do everything because of the teams left- especially if the RB and/or Detour was extremely physical in nature.

The risk backfired on T&S because they spent too long trying to beat N&S- once they got to the resturant and realized it was going to involve eating meat (and it was going to be a problem for both of them- Sarah tries to keep kosher, remember) they should have bailed immediately. What also compounded the problem is that the RB wasn't that hard to do once you started, and neither Detour option was extremely physical (the music option I still think might have been faster if they got it passibly on the first try- getting the amount of money they needed probably wouldn't have been difficult), which meant the other three teams could get through it relatively quickly.

In short, T&S rolled the dice, and got snake eyes. I'm interested to see if they say in interviews how far back they were of A&D- If it was more than 45-50 minutes or so, it probably wouldn't have mattered even if they had bailed out on the FF immediately.

I have to say that T/S worked great together when they were in the cow suit! Toni and Dallas rocked it too!

I think Terence's problem is that once he has decided on something he sticks with it...and in this circumstance it didn't serve him well. He was the one who decided that they should go do the FF (Sarah was saying no) and then he was the one who decided to stick with it, regardless of the fact that he was never going to be able to accomplish it.
