The boyfriends' jealousy of Rob and Amber is just pathetic!
Yea, that pessimistic son is gone!!!!!!

How old is Patrick, anyway? He acted like he was about 15 years old. Blech

No matter how far they make it, I'd say Rob and Amber are having more fun on the race than all the obsessed ones.

Romber has unbelievable luck. LOL - They worked hard to go fast before that airplane, but still... And they found the boat quickly. Amazing!!

Lynn and Alex - I was enjoying them before this episode, but their fixation on Rob and Amber is just sad. If they concentrated on their own game a little more...

I was surprised to see Patrick and Mom go, because all episode they kept setting up the rivalry between Ray and Deena and the Oldsters - so I figured one of these later groups was doomed. Not so. I really wanted to tell Patrick to stop whining!

I was wondering about the switch in tasks, I hope they explain it next week.

The previews looks scary - a head gash for one team and a rolled car for another? Yikes!!! I wonder if anyone will have to pull out of the race? I hope everyone is ok. Gretchen looked fine - though bloody. Head Gashes bleed A LOT, but she seemed in pretty good spirits. If the gash is on her face, it would be best to have a plastic surgeon stitch it. But she seemed fine. A rolled car is whole 'nother barrel of monkeys. I hope they had their seatbelts on...

My 15 year old acts older than Patrick!!!
I absolutely HATED how he turned his mother's concerns or questions around to being negative. "Patrick, you can do it!"
Sheesh mom, will you quit pressuring me, you get in here and do it!!!!!
rme!

I agree, I think Amber and Rob are having the best time. I didn't even like them till this show! LOL

This week Rob and Amber came in first so they win a trip to London.(Last week there wasn't a prize awarded.) Yes, I would say Rob's a lucky guy. They even held the plane for Rob and Amber.

This is just a great season! I’m not unhappy that Patrick and his Mom were eliminated. He was far too fixated on Rob and Amber and pretty much negative throughout the race. Plus from what they showed, he wasn’t very nice to his Mom!

I loved that scene on the plane – that was a classic moment!

With respect to Uchenna and Joyce, my initial reaction was that they should be penalised but then I realised that teams have changed tasks at Roadblocks numerous times on past shows without penalty. It happens all the time. This was just unusual in that they happened to complete one task while actually trying to do the other. I'm not sure about having to go back to the clue box.

Just an absolutely wonderful season.

We could get a pair of socks and use one on Ray and one on Gretch..

LOL Seamonkey! Good one! :-)

This is just a great season!

I'd have to agree. Quarks aside, this is shaping up to be a pretty good season.

I have said it before...the final 3 will be ppl that work with not against Rob!!! The winner will be someone that is just racing and not worrying if they beat Rob.

I wonder if Rob is really lucky or Rob just knows how to relate to people. From what I have seen every local he has interacted with he has asked their name, shaken their hands and tried to communicate with them rather than tell them what to do. He gives them a hat, a smile, whatever. I think that is why he and Amber get ahead, they seem to treat the locals with more respect and you catch more flies with sugar. Who would want to help Lynn and Alex, when they are calling you names and whining.

I have not seen Rob or Amber get mad or whine at any setback. It is all in the attitude.

I agree with you too Maris!
Like the constrast tonite with the 'oldsters' and their reaction to the boy juggling in the street versus Susan and Patrick.

If I hear Ray make one more reference to how embarrasing it would be to lose to "those old people", I think I might have to kill him with my bare hands. It is only embarassing in his narrow mind. If you ask me, I'd much rather "lose to old people" than to look like a judgemental sore loser.





DITTO!

Agreed, Maris. I love watching those two play this game. If only some of the others would take notes and quit bellyaching ...

I feel the same way Sea! I don't like them much at all, esp. Gretchen, but I definitely want to see them beat Ray and Deanna. Any of the last 3 could have left tonight and it would have been fine with me. I'm also finding the boyfriends' continued obsession with Rob & Amber annoying. Patrick and Susan were both annoying and I would have loved to stuff something in Ray's mouth to shut him up. He was making me sick!

I can't believe I'm saying this but, I wasn't thrilled about seeing that Rob and Amber were on the show and thought I'd be rooting for others to beat them but it's not the case! I'm totally enjoying them and many of you have pegged it. They seem to be enjoying themselves and not getting their panties all in a twist like some of the others! They also treat each other very well. Amber is a nice calming force to Rob. I was actually rooting for them to pull ahead!

I also thought Joyce and Uchenna would get a penalty. I've seen others switch in the past, but they didn't just "happen upon" on the other task. They would start one, have difficulty and then decide to do the other one. They just seemed to find the flag by dumb luck, not by choice.

Next week looks pretty intense! I'm really enjoying this season so much. I'm not sure if it's because it's so much better (although it seems like it IS) or if it's that the last one was so BAD, this one seems superb! :-)


BTW: O/T but... How many of you saw the promo for BIG BROTHER?!! I got so excited when I saw it! LOL

still not liking romber or ray-na...at least ray isn't as bad as jonathan was to victoria! so far...

son was rude to the mom, so i'm glad they are gone.

i'm still liking the boyfriends.

i hoped to be more impressed with the ex-prisoner of war...maybe we'll see better of that team later.

poor lady who fell off the horse twice. i'll bet she's sore afterward!

I agree. This year is really interesting.

Love it that Rob and Amber are doing so well and next week does look even more interesting than tonight was.

What more could we ask for?!

i could ask for romber to not do so well and get some of that horrid luck others get once in a while :-)

i was also surprised there was no penalty for the couple to change their roadblock and take the island flag...

He's not as bad, but the similarities between these two couples makes me cringe. Ray is all about winning at all costs and Deana gets upset and distraught so easily. I hate watching the two of them.

In the past they've changed their roadblock, but before they've always had to actively give in, go back to the start and take the other task. In this case it was as if they could do either, I think there should be some sort of penalty as well.

Really enjoying Rob and Amber!

Patrick is 26!! It's hard to believe, he and his mum interact as if he is a teenager.

Ray must go!

i am wondering if there will be a penalty announced at the start of the next leg for joyce and ucchena for not going back to the start to change tasks?
once or twice in the past there have been penalties announced in the next episode. i remember the legal eagles taking a cab one time when the instructions specifically said to walk to an area. i think they were given a half hour penalty. i also recall another penalty, but i can't remember which team and what the 'infraction' was.
it would be strange if they did get a penalty and the time added made it so that the mother and son actually beat them to the pit stop! horrors!!

Patrick is a pain in the rear. I wonder when he viewed tapes of the show he realized how shabbily he treated his mother. Of course, she made a few wry remarks too but not as much as he did.
When the show first aired I thought I would like this team because I had enjoyed the father|daughter teams. Wow was I wrong.
