I read a pretty funny observation on the Reds, and their coming in first, and not getting a prize cause the leg isn't over. I read it on another board (Figure Skating Universe to be exact). So I can't take credit for it of course, but I thought it was funny enough to share.....

The bad, the edit of Margie and Luke to make the viewers think that Margie and Luke were talking about the incident 5 minutes into the start of this show. They clearly had on their winter jackets which means they were asked after this episode. Final 3 ? They were in China in November.

Didn't Victor say something about it was going to be cold in northern China where they were heading? Since that team has been there several times before, they probably know about the weather in different parts of the country.

And when would they be doing the interviews until after the next pit stop? Which is obviously in northern China where it is cold.

The producers might also be the ones behind keeping the controversy ongoing. When Margie and Luke are talking in the taxis or in confessionals, it could be in answer to direct questions and they even could be told how to phrase their responses (like they are in the Diary Room in Big Brother). The producers lost their two most controversial teams in legs one and two; then the next two bickering teams, Jen/Kisha and Victor/Tammy, learned how to work together. I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out they are fueling the fire between these two teams.

It didn't look like the producers were responsible for Luke's comment about kicking J/K's behind after he rammed into one of them on the way to the cab, and they looked like the gossip in the airport was also done on their own. I wouldn't put it past the producers to egg on a rivalry, but it doesn't seem to me that L/M take much egging, and J/K didn't seem to be interested in keeping it going. I guess with Jen's fear of water, J/K had bigger things to worry about than L/M.

Who, that is priceless!!! I suspect Jaime would get her knickers in a twist if she went to some ENGLISH speaking countries where she might take offense to the accent.. ==== Luke has be reveling in "bringing it" all along.. at least as far back as when they U-Turned Kris & partner and that lost us one of the better teams at that point. He was pretty gloaty/gleeful on the train talking to Mel/Mike. BUT!! I did hear a good thing about M/L in a clip where Victor and Tammy were discussing who they would consider U-Turning (this was awhile back because the blondes and other teams were mentioned in the discussion and they are long gone now) and one reason they wouldn't want to U-Turn Margie/Luke back then was that M/L had loaned Victor/Tammy some money on a leg where V/T had run low. But Luke has mentioned bringing it, ass kicking, butt kicking, slammed his fist into his palm.. which I suspect isn't ASL for "I love J/K". If anyone is egging Luke on, I would say it is Margie.

Luke is - and has been for a couple of weeks - the only young male left in the game. While I absolutely DO NOT condone agression, I do see where it is coming from - it takes guys a while to get their testosterone levels and brains to work together!

I am incorrect about the editing of M/L. It was probably filmed later in the day and colder, as you can see in the background the hills of the city they had the pit stop.

Maybe Victor is over 30? Back in the 1960's, we baby boomers thought anybody over 30 was realllly old. Sigh ...

Yep, by 35 most guys will have the testosterone/brain balance thing more or less handled - early 20's, not so much!

I suspect there are any number of young male photographers and sound guys around.. but honestly, I don't remember 22 yeear old males in my life acting like that at all.. and yep, I have a brother and he had friends. But whatever factors, reasons, etc.. I hope he is not rewarded by winning, because that would just encourage him to be aggressive later on (Jonathan, for instance.. and any number of racers in the past.. ) I don't look forward to his glee over the next team leaving

Oh heck, just watching teen basketball games at the high school level, I am shocked by how physically aggressive they are in competition. Shocked.

I doubt that M/L will win, but if they do, it's not that they were rewarded, but that they earned the win.

I thought Linda (remember Steve & Linda ?) made a very astute comment in this week's Elimination Station clip. She said whoever wins will have earned it just by being in first place. Very good point. Whether we like the winner or not, whoever crosses that finish line first has earned the million.

Someone earning a win or deserving a win doesn't mean I have to be happy about the fact that they won. Of course people all the time are "rewarded" and reinforced that some behaviors are ok and I find that sad. I know life isn't often fair, but I can hope.. and yeah, I read over and over about the aggression of boys and young men, but I've known plenty who are not that way, so it can be done. And I prefer to encourage that part of the population.
