Next week... Teams have to stomach Chinese delicacies and, with a spot in the final three on the line, Jaime and Cara struggle with the language barrier.

"and Rob and amber were always such great sports (et el)"

a big reason why I wasn't a fan of theirs either. Yes there have been others, but that doesn't make their behavior okay.

Well, this could give Kisha and Jen a chance to get back in the game. Funny they didn't show them or Margie and Luke in the preview. Guess they don't show everyone but it's getting down to so few I thought they might.

Welcome back Raen!!! I missed ya!

Danged "to be continued" legs. I'd love for Jaime/Cara to have a #1 just once, but I bet it doesn't happen.

I liked Rob the first time on TAR, not quite as much on All-Stars. I found him entertaining and likable, I do not find Luke and Margie entertaining or likable anymore. If the situation were reversed and J/K were the ones ahead and they were gloating over beating L/M, I'm sure just as many, if not more people would roast them for it.

I thought J/K showed class in wanting to just let all of it go while L/M were just hanging onto it. It's hard to watch a mother encouraging her grown son to act in such a way.

I'm so disappointed! Just when I thought the sisters would be eliminated!

I was actually rooting for the cheerleaders to win a leg tonight and I never thought that would happen, LOL. But in the preview, it's look like they're back to their normal selves so I'm guessing we'll never see it happen.

As for the 'feud', J/K let it go and concentrated on the race. Margie chose to spread negative gossip. I'm so over M/L. I still say they are holding a grudge more because J/K came in first on that leg then anything else. It's too bad because I was rooting for them earlier.

Poor Vic & Tam - even when they have a huge advantage with the language, it still doesn't help.

Uggh, I am so over Luke and Margie too. So disappointing as I so wanted to root for them (with my own son). Luckily my ds doesn't have the focus to watch the episodes consistently, so I have not had to explain me dumping my "root" for L/M.

the final straw for me was when they were all at the airport many hours (maybe even a day or so) after that incident happened. And there was Margie and Luke gossiping about it. A big fat turn-off.

I am very much rooting for Kisha and Jen, but I really think they blew it the second they gave up on swimming. I don't get why Jen gave that up when she knew how hard and how scary (for her) the diving was... At least with the swimming, it can be finished. The diving had the potential to NEVER finish... SO if they go, they really have no one to blame but Jen!!

The next challenge will not open before 8am so all the racers will bunch up again.

Would love to see the look on L/M's faces when they see that J/K are still in the race.

I didn't understand why any team would attempt the diving, especially after trying it a few times and seeing how hard it was. The swimming took most teams around 10 minutes -- I wonder how much time Victor and sis wasted diving over and over and over. And with the swimming you could wear a life vest?! It just seems silly to be afraid to swim with a life vest, but instead go jump of a diving board without one.

All the teams deal with crap at some point.

I just felt sorry for Tam & Vic when Margie was doing her negative gossip thing because she wanted them to back her up and they weren't. They simply commented that the whole thing was ugly without saying one team was right or wrong.

I didn't hear J/K gossiping in a negative way about L/M. I didn't hear J/K gloating about coming in first on the last leg. I didn't hear J/K saying they needed to "kick" L/M's "butt". And um wasn't that Luke yet again slamming into one of the sisters heading to a clue early on tonight? Accidents are bound to happen but it seems to be a regular thing with Luke now if the sisters are close by.

I love it that my 9 year old and my 12 year old both recognize the poor sportsmanship they see in L and M. I'm sorry to say that I wanted to root for them but have found it more and more difficult to get past their poor attitude towards others in the race. Sad.

Wow, bitter, much, Luke and Margie? Not realizing it was a to be continued, I was just jumping up and down rooting for Jaime/Cara (a first for me) to beat Luke and Margie to the mat!

At least they did, but what a blow for J/C. L/M would seem to be in the catbird seat, with J/C a bit demoralized (but hopefully they will still sprint out of there) and with Jen/Kisha/Victor/Tammy not in great shape after all the swimming/diving angst. I just hurt for Victor because I know how painful that sort of cramp can be in ONE leg, and he had them in both! I kept telling him to just gut it out in the taxi but I know that isn't easy to do. I certainly don't think Victor was "going for drama" when they needed to try to catch up to the first two teams. He was in pain.

I did like that Victor told Jaime/Cara that Kisha apologized, though they all seemed to think it wasn't genuine. I liked Victor saying it was humbling, no matter if you have one advantage, something can always get you, like a task that is especially hard for you, or a cabbie who is lost.

Liked how supportive T and V have become of each other.. I think they've gaind much more mutual respect over the course of the race.

I LOVED how suportive and loving Kisha was with her sister tonight

And did y'all notice Tammy and Luke signing to each other durig the massage, and that was sweet when she held his hand. I doubt they will get "credit" for that from M/L.

And Luke shoving Jen or Kisha at the airport was uncalled for too. Margie is just as bad. I guess that is where Luke gets some of his 'tude, perhaps.

At the airport, that was just sour grapes.. M/L simply were in the wrong line and gloaty about being first and J/K walked to the other line.. There is no rule that they stay "in order" and you can BET if the order had been reversed, Luke would have shoved them on his way to the other line. As for T/V asking to sit close to front, that has always been done on the race and many times people have asked for shuttles to leave without others who are running for them, or to get preferential seating. Not that it mattered in the end on this leg. Nothing did.. J/C left the last task first and managed to still be ahead at the pit stop/to be continued stop, Luke/Margie left second and will definitely be the second to arrive.

No way to tell about the other two teams until next week.

I do hope they get to rest if there is a wait at the next task.. I'd say Victor needs it badly after the cramping, Tammy and Jen after being frazzled at the pool, Cara, Tammy, Kisha and Luke to get their feet happy again..

That was NO accident when Luke bumped Jen/Kisha on the way to grabbing the cab, he even make some utterance that tells us that he knew.. he either shouted no no no no or was saying mo mo.. for his mom, but in the cab he gloated that they kicked J/K ass .. he knew what he was doing.

I wonder how many more times Luke "accidentally" mows over one of the Sisters before he finally gets penalized? It's becoming a regular occurrence. I don't remember ANY TAR when players were allowed to assault other players, thought it was one of the rules to the race. Especially a Male hammering on Females, and this little deaf boy seems to expect a pass on sportsmanship.

Hey, maybe we'll get lucky. Remember? The "To Be Continued" happened right after Cara & Jaime arrived at the mat. We didn't see Luke/Margie arrive. Hoping next week we will hear Phil say:

"L/M, you have incurred a 4 hr penalty for assaulting another player."
