Loved it when Mel realized he could use the baskets and got a real headstart on the other teams. He was struggling so hard with the water, I was really worried about him. And Mike was so proud of his Dad. Just a good feeling.

I think Mel did great on that task. I was worried about him too though I was sure we would have heard all ready if something bad had happened. He kept thinking clearly and it helped a lot.

I'm enjoying most of the teams this season.

(Just wanted to remind you that I am not in this thread anymore so if you have something negative to say about Luke, don't let the threat of the wrath of Hermione stop you. Really.)

I am probably banned here as well, Hermione. He did look cute in his skivvies week before last though, didn't he? I mean, if you were which you are not, you could agree or not. If I were not banned, which I am, so I cannot even ask the question.

When Luke does something obnoxious or noteworthy, I'll be sure to comment. For now he's kind of slunk into the background.

The elimination station videos are interesting. That one couple just complains, complains about being the victim. Self fulfilling prophecy anyone??

Goodness, that new team comes and is being bombarded with questions and they are answering as many as they can of the people sitting closest to them. That couple was so far away they may not have even heard them, but they choose to take it as a personal snub. I'm very glad they were Philiminated early.

Christi and Jodie should be proud for how well they did and it sounds like they have great attitudes about it all.

I just love that I can enjoy this season without anyone bashing anyone. Sigh ~ good season!

Oh YUM! The latest Elimination Station Youtube:
Remember how everyone wanted to know Who did the Blind U-turn? Steve sure doesn't wish to make friends, sure seems like a wetblanket kind of guy.

The Amazing Race 14 - Elimination Station: Episode 6
Christie and Jodi eliminated

Another interesting Youtube that I missed before. Remember how last week was a Non-Elim? CBS gave us a Youtube after all:

One thing I love about the TAR, is how 'seemingly minor details' can change the outcome. Like:

- Victor & Tammy were ahead (already travelling back as the 'Convoy' was commencing down the road to the first challenge). So, nobody saw them immediately catch onto the Red Telephone Clue at the Sacred Tree. Later, everyone wasted time turning over rocks and standing in line to make the phone call.

- During the Camel Feeding, again, Victor & Tammy were enough ahead of the pack. He did 1st=straw with the basket, then 2nd=water. Nobody SAW him with the basket.

- When everyone else showed up, they all did 1st=water, later shoveling straw in their shirts or running with the tiny pails.

- Even though Mel had a heck of a struggle, his noticing the baskets changed the whole outcome for his team (I was really worrying that he might end up being eliminated). Everyone else lost precious time before noticing the baskets.

I'm enjoying all the teams, too. Haven't yet decided whom I'm rooting for. Totally enjoying this season, and so glad Steve & Linda made their exit early. Their endless whining would have ruined the race, IMO.

Wow those youtube clips. Yikes. Steve and Linda sure have a persecution complex. I was sad when they left, but after watching that, I'm super OK with it.

Could one of you techie types make a thread for Elimination Stations links where they can all be in one place and easy to find?

I am very technologically challenged!

What I've been trying to do, when I find the Elimination Station Youtube is to put the link in the associated week's episode thread. (Granted, I didn't catch last week's at the time, since it was Non-Elim & I didn't expect anyone to be taking the hike.)

My thoughts are that we would then have the Storyline with Elimination Station Youtube together, in one spot. In case someone later tries to reread.

This is the first Amazing Race that my hubby has watched with me. He was sucked in during its first episode and has enjoyed every one since. For me, the racers are delightful. I like them all, which is unusual for me. *lol*

I like all of them too, but of course, I'm cheering for Mel and Mike the most since I know Mel personally. I'm glad many of you seem to be seeing a different side to him than from the start. I know him so well that I know his dry sense of humor and how sweet and loving he really is to everyone. I really don't know anyone who has met him who doesn't like him - adore him actually. He's really a sweet man. :-)

I think Mel has done incredibly well and he seems like a really nice guy. I loved the way he won that task carrying the water and hay (though I was a bit worried about him as well). All the teams this season (with the exception of Steve & Linda) have generally been fun to watch.

I was worried about him, too, Jimmer! My only recourse is knowing the show was promoted by the organization he founded and I would have heard something if anything bad happened to him. If it had happened on the race before they could even tell, they would have just informed people of his illness. I'm pleased to say I received none of that! :-)

I just watched my tape, and, even though I knew who got eliminated, my heart sank when the two stunt brothers chose to ride across town. They are the two most directionally challenged folks I have ever seen -

I tried to find this last week, but they posted it later than usual so I missed it.

From my favorite exit interview site RealityTVWorld:

Exclusive: 'The Amazing Race's Christie Volkmer, Jodi Wincheski talk

Here's also the RealityTVWorld recap:

I know it was late, but if anyone reads this thread again, I HIGHLY recommend reading that link I just posted above

Exclusive: 'The Amazing Race's Christie Volkmer, Jodi Wincheski talk
http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/exclusive-the-amazing-race-christie-volkmer-jodi-wincheski-talk-8676.php

It answered some of the questions people were asking, like about the 'thong' and whether they gave them new undies to wear. Interesting interview.
