Yeah, it would probably look like sweat overload. I was kind of rooting for the sisters, but they pulled a lot of dumb moves, like leaving the fannypack & running barefoot, meltdown at the swim meet, now the portapotties.

I hope Wilson "If it ended up being more than 60 seconds or so, the pee break wouldn't have mattered probably." is correct. Would lessen the disappointment.

Thanks Raen for spoiling!

I still can't believe Lakisha & Jennifer stopped to use the bathroom, as many of you have said. This is a race for a million bucks. C'mon here, people. She could've just peed on herself as she was running. That's what I would have done. I wonder how close it really was. I didn't see Cara & Jaime in the picture. So maybe it was more like 5-10 minutes. I guess we'll find out when the interviews are posted!

Disappointed that the sisters are out, they will probably have some regrets. I just liked them. At this point, even though they are not my favorite I will be disappointed if anyone but Tammy and Victor win. At least they are polite. I don't find the other 2 teams polite or even fun to watch at this point.

I gotta go against the crowd here and say I am not sure I would have pee'd on myself. I can say I would here sitting on my couch, but in reality I really don't think I would have with cameras following me .

Tammy and Victor are polite but they are certainly cold toward the other players. They ran right by Jen last week as she was crying in the hallway during the swimming challenge. Tammy had a radiant smile as she and Victor used the u turns. I don't like them.

they put a smile on their face as they stab you in the back. the whole season they havent done anything to make me dislike them but ive had this sense of fakeness about them the whole time.

Jen looked worn down before she even got to the eating place but I hand it to both her and her sister for being able to complete that u-turn and still be that close at the end. They should feel proud of how well they did.

My feeling about T/V is the same as Dogdoc and Oregonguy. I"m not a fan of V/T.

I'm actually going to root for the ugly American cheerleaders at this point and I can't believe that! But if M/L can hold a grudge, then so can some fans.

I'm very proud of Tammy and Victor. It's so great that they have traveled and have learned languages other than English and they are rewarded for it! It's like when teams have gone to Central and South American and knew how to speak Spanish...and I remember team Guido being adept at several languages and how that helped them, just like Team ChaCha's knowledge of Spanish helped them!

I remember thinking the flight attendants would have an advantage because of their knowledge about the airline industry, but boy was I wrong.

I would have peed on myself but I was thinking maybe she didn't have to just pee,maybe it was something to do with that time of the month. Or what if it was #2, of course that didn't matter to one of the Flavor of Love girls, she just pooped on the floor right there in front of everyone! I still can't believe she did that!

The sisters ran a great race. I really hope we find out they were further apart than it looked.

Even with the cameras, the long opera robes would have covered. Well, this was a 1st on TAR!

Like Tishala says, a lot of teams have had a language advantage in one city or another. I think it only really helped them in this leg, just a slight bit in others. The way they're going I think they would have been first anyway, just with slightly less of a gap. (Unlike Tish, though, I can't give them much props for speaking their parents' language!)

Both the cheerleaders and the sisters had the same problem with directions and making silly errors. I wish the cheerleaders had lost out, despite the pretty heroic eating. I don't think I could have stopped to pee so close to the end.

Pamy, they said it was because she drank so much water while eating the gross food.

She or her Sis said it was 4 FOUR bottles, her Sis kept asking her to slow down with the water. They were hefty size bottles, not the little pint jobs.

Cara ate the food in 7 minutes! When Cara and Jaime hit the mat, Phil said he thought Jen was still using the bathroom:

I wish those two wouldn't have been eliminated.

If I had my choice, it would have been M/L.

But the 3 teams left are all "friends", so that should make it interesting.

I'm rooting for Jaime/Cara(1), Tammy/Victor(2), and a distant 3rd for the mother/son...I'd honestly be happy if anyone but the mother/son team won

count me in as a pee-on-myselfer. I really can't beleive they stopped. And her bladder must have been full, so she could have been in there a while.

I'm rooting for Tammy and Victor. I find the other teams just unpleasant. I could see where Luke gets some of his snippiness from his mom when he was putting the makeup and she was not cooperating. I'd still rather see them win than the 2 girls who seem to be fumbling their way through the race.

I'm also rooting for Tammy and Victor. They've worked together and I think grown in their relationship.

I cannot tolerate Jamie. I can't stand the way she talks to people in the race. She's rude and that just bugs me.

Juju, I thought so too.

I'm rooting for Margie and Luke, but I'd be happy with any of the three teams winning.

I do have to hand it to Marge and Cara for coming up big during the eating gross things challenge, though. They both looked like they plowed through it.

I forgot to mention: in the previews for next week, two things stuck out at me. Tammy looks amazing in a bikini, even if she can't carry a pig more than three steps. And the pictures of them in their cars showed everyone looking forward except Tammy and Victor, who were looking back to see whether people were close to them. I hope that's a good omen.

I hope so too and I agree about looking good in the bikini. I'd kill for a body like that.

I was SO frustrated.. I mean, I had seen the spoiler with the picture of Kisha with Mark, Michael, Mike, the blondes, etc etc but there was just a shred of possibility (very small) that it might have been taken a day later or .. well the person who took the pic at the airport was from California so the clock in her camera would have been off, but who knows if it was even on Calif time.. so while it seemed clear that K/J were out and had been U-turned.. there was that little bit of hope and I was really thinking, wow.. they are going to make it and I won't have to listen to J/C bash the Chinese any more and poke cabbies with Pointy Gnome hats.

I cannot believe that in the end it didn't come down to a cabbie but to not waiting to PEE??


Arrgh.

I thought they all were amazing eating that stuff.. I mean it was a big volume of gross stuff, fried or not. Victor stayed really calm, Cara amazed me, Margie was good and even Jen was better than people in most seasons with eating comps.

But I just couldn't fathom that she would stop to pee.. I'd definitely let it fly if necessary. And Phil seemed to say it was a matter of seconds!

I'll be rooting for Tammy and Victor as always. I like how they seemed to respect all of the other teams and not underestimate them.

Margie was sure relieved that it was T/V go got the U-turn .. and Jaime and Cara.. well they only got to final three because K/J had to do that diffiult task as waiters and then the peeing.. J/C really almost handed it to K/J and were unpleasant all the way and ....

just how gracious was Kisha to her little sister at the end??? I mean we just heard Jaime turn on Cara ans start to blame her when it looked like they might be out of it and Cara took that in stride and downed all those crispy critters.. Margie and Luke also seem testy with each other, especially Margie! So the rumor that Tammy and Victor had been at odds.. well we sure haven't seen it lately.

Looks like Jaime is no more fond of Hawai'ians than she is of Chinese people (um, or Romanians, Thai, Russians, etc etc...
