I think Ron said something like "just shut up!" but he didn't use the F word.. that was inserted by Kelly.. (Went back to look/listen. "Shut up, I'm doing it as fast as I can"

OH those poor goats!! Milking an animal is careful work and you cant be twisting and wringing out the poor teat like it is a dishrag!!! The pain those poor animals must have been in when they were kicking out and bleating! No wonder One teammate had to hold the leg so the goat wouldnt kick! ** It seemed to me that The balance comp was all about the shape of a person's head and where that LOOP sat in relation to the shape of a person's head. A few caucasians found that the loop slid down too low on their head. This means the basket (etc) will not drop nicely into the loop as their head pushes UP in the middle. (( It also sounded like Uchenna and Joyce had experience and her nice hair helped to add some support. )) I didnt take the comments to be racist but simply a comment about the likelyhood of ability. ** You know, even in AFRICA people are Survivor fans and are helping Rob/Amber. Can you imagine the advantage they will have over the other teams once they go thru Europe where most people will recognize them?? This just doesnt seem very fair to me.

Carrying baskets on the head is also a common practice in Central America with the door-to-door saleswomen. I think it would take some practice to perfect it. Also, the best way get a goat to drop milk is to make it feel relaxed. I thought it was funny the one guy thought the goat had two udders. It is one udder divided into half with fibrous tissue.

Watch tonight Weds. It is a recap of all the episodes. I was sad the brothers left. I don't care for Lynn and Alex. I saw the early show. Brian and Greg said Amber and Rob stopping didn't bother them. They said it was typical of their race. But it seems to me A & R wouldn't get any help from any other team. I didn't hear Ron curse at Kelly, however we didn't hear the whole tape. I can't image her being with him after the race, from his prior behavior. He is a huge whinner. My favorite teams right now are U & J, R & A, G &M. Oddly enough I wouldn't mind R & A winning, but it would be nice if U & J did. I just do not want Lynn and Alex to win. I hated there little spill last night about why they are the better racers just sneakier.

Ron & Kelly didn't get a prize for coming in first and neither did Lynn & Alex.

I'm sad the brothers left last night. I was hoping it would be Ron and Kelly or Lynn and Alex. Miss Beauty Queen was anything but a beauty last night. I cannot imagine him putting up with her. Everything was his fault, she's perfect ... bah ... And Alex/Lynn's snarky, nasty comments have totally put me off. I'm glad neither of those teams got a prize for coming in first and I sure hope they get eliminated soon.

I thought the comment Ron made just before Kelly went off was something like "Just chill for a minute." I am sure there are people who watch themselves on TV after these shows really and truly are so disgusted that they they make a real effort at improving, but I don't think Lynn and Alex are two of them.

I still don't see why everyone says Lynn & Alex are so despicable. The only uncalled for comment I saw was when they called M/G stupid.

Okay, did anybody notice that when they were showing Ron and Kelly milking the goats that there was a hugely obvious shot showing her breasts? It was hilarious.

Julie, I don't like them because I find them petty and catty. IMHO, they hold themselves up as such caring individuals, but they never have any problem with the snarky quip (albeit, some are quite hysterical). Their incessant obsession with R/A is almost pathological.

Yeah, Rox.. my 14 yo called my attention to that shot. Since the editor this year had consistantly given us cute lil' nips like Gret's colorful comments and same-scene-two-sided-comments from different teams... I was able to just smile at that. I like to think that those prizes for "Team #1" each leg was predetermented just like the non-elemination stops. It was only their bad luck that they didn't get any and R&A got at least two wonderful trips that I can remember. About Ron & Kelly, I just think they are not a good match. They are both good people. They both try to be good partner to the other. But I also am in the camp that does not think Ron said the F word. He's been in spot light, he knows better than having that kind of behavior braodcasted. Had they choose to complete the "carry" task, I'd think someone would tell Ron that he'd spilled too much water and had his two hands too close to the bucket.

I was sad to see the brothers go I liked them alot and will miss thier classic lines through out the show. Uchenna & Joyce are my favorites just because they haven't had any drama yet and regardless of what they are faced with they still seem respectful to each other and other racers. But I like Rob and Amber too - they add the entertainment.

Just for the record, I watched they boys this morning on the Early Show. They said that they started out only 10 minutes behind Merrideth and Gretchen, but made several mistakes a long the way. They didn't read the clues correctly and that put them way behind. They also said that they didn't show about 45 minutes of them trying to catch goats (dang! that would have been hilarious!). They said they knew they were toast as they hadn't seen any other competitors all day, and that they finished hours behind everyone else.

I just can't see them not showing (even bleeped out) Ron saying the F word to Kelly. If he actually said it, that is. I really don't think he said it, if he did I think they would have showed it. I am guessing she was in such a pissy mood that she was expecting him to say something like that to her, so maybe she thought/imagined he said it. He seems nice and calm and she does not.

I can't imagine them editing out Ron cussing especially if they left in her talking about it.

Ron did tell her to shut up, under his breath.. he did not say, that we were able to hear, shut the F up, as she insisted he did (I went back and re-watched and listened) and separately, he told her (again under his breathe) to "chill out". Meredith also got in a similar under the breathe comment about Gretchen but he was safely outside the vehicle at the time.

I heard the brothers said that they were hours behind other teams also. Now there's one thing I don't understand. Why are we not shown the actual differences in time of arrival amongst the teams? Since we're bound to find out about that at the begining of the next leg, what's the point of keeping us guessing for a week? If they have the need for the suspense for the first two or last two teams, they could just give us a telly at the end of the show or on the official site. Without the brothers' confession on the Early Show, I would have wondered till the end of time if they'd wasted precious time fooling with the bathing suits!

I think they don't show the arrival times because (apparently) it's quite common for little time adjustments to be made due to production difficulties. They don't want to give a time that might be adjusted before the next episode. Shame to see the brothers go, I enjoyed them a lot. I think they were mad to go to the Pitstop in their swimming trunks though, imagine if they weren't eliminated and the next stop was The Alps!

I loved when Uchenna yelled "AAAFFFRRRRIIIICCCCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" That was great! I was amazed to see the water gushing in through the dashboard! I like Rob and Amber, but it was nice to see the show not so focused on them last night. jmo. also jmo, it seems the editors have had more footage of them in the previous eps. Sorry to see the brothers go. I don't think their accident was the reason because they weren't that far behind Mer. and Gret. leaving the pit stop. Speaking of Mer. and Gret. ... they are not paying attention to details enough. After so many detail type mistakes such as missing the clue, you'd think they'd be more careful. I'm sure Gret. is a nice person, but her voice irritates me, just the sound of it. She seems to nag the heck out of Mer. Many women like to talk a lot, myself included at times! But she goes on and on ... Ron just wouldn't let the fact that Kelly couldn't balance the water jug on her head go. He went on and on even after the task was done and they were in first place. There's really no way to tell if Ron used profanity. It sure didn't seem like he did, but there's always that editing issue. Maybe we'll get the real story someday, the camera and sound guys probably know. It's really no biggie though, I'm surprised of all the footage they shoot that they even included Kelly commenting on that. They must really want to tell the story of the demise of their relationship. I never really noticed them bickering that much. Maybe previous couples just argued in a much more extreme manner (Jon. and Victoria for example). Rob calling the goat big boy! (I think Amber did as well.) Not his most shining moment. Lynn and Alex bother me some. But I also find them so funny at times! Very funny how they both were amazed at the finish line/pit stop and said "WHAT?" at the same time!
