Is there a way to find out 'where' in Africa they go? I went to Kenya last summer and some of the fleeting shots I saw last night reminded me of that country and its people.

Uchenna is cute. There, I said it. And he was very sweet to Joyce when she was having difficulty on that horse. And Joyce is a go-getter. But mostly I wanted to say that Uchenna is cute.

Hat's off to this lady! Being toppled by that horse once must have been bad enough, but she climbed back up twice without complaint. Oh yeah, and Uchenna is cute.

This is now my favorite team. They're fantastic to watch. Hope it comes down to them and Romber...

Okay folks, read up thread when I suggested adoption!

Well I realize not everyone wants to adopt and of course if they felt the adopted child would be "less than"..then better NOT to adopt, but when people go wild on a fertility hunt, to me that is pushing a limit, especially those who are implanted with a large number of potential kids and refuse to reduce the numbers.. they are bringing kids into the world who will need special care and all too often they aren't prepared to pay for that care. A couple here in Orange County (the kids were born in OC, think the family lived in Riverside County) and this wasn't in vitro but fertility drugs and they ended up slapping a huge lawsuit later because every one of their 5 kids had major problems and somehow this was the doctor's fault.. and some of the families who get all sorts of "stuff" including houses and vans and lots of pampers while the kids are young and cute..some, not all of those families end up broke, having to sell the custom home, or in the one case, the dad committed suicide. Not all of us get to have children, for many reasons. I don't see it as a right but as a blessing. And yes we know they have heard of adoption in Texas, and it is lovely! I also said it was just my fantasy happy ending, not really that Joyce and Uchenna must adopt one of those babies..

This couple moved to the top of my list! I felt for them at the orphanage and couldn't hold back the tears. What a great couple!

I think Joyce is cute. Loved them last night and I felt claustrophobia just watching him try to cram through that cave..

I also liked how they gave some of their stuff to Meredith and Gretchen when those two lost all their stuff by coming in last. Joyce and Uchenna seem like a nice couple. They also seem to be working together well and hitting their stride.

I am so glad that their eyes were opened a bit more about the homeless children all over the world that may need a home. Maybe they will pursue adoption to begin their family. Joyce did say they had discussed the possibility. Maybe there will be a child at that Children's Home that would be a perfect fit for their family. As an adoptive mother of four I will root for them. It is an awesome experience!

Now that's sportsmanship, quietly bringing some clothes to M/G's door! Hope these two go far in the race.

Even in the face of their setback, they remained calm, and took the appropriate action by carefully re-reading the Roadblock clue. What a level-headed, fun-loving, and genuinely honest team with lots of integrity! Hats off to them!

They seem like wonderful people, with a good attitude and they are a lot of fun! They make the show a pleasure to watch.

What a joy to share a bit of Africa with them.. I truely hope they return to Africa, to that orphanage and also to visit his father's village. They just enjoyed and appreciated everything tonight.. AND they kept their cool, too. And what a contrast.. their celebration of being third as compared to Ron and Kelly's dead eyes and disgust at being in second. Their loss of the trip is Monaco's gain, IMO.

Sweet and supportive, a really fun couple to watch. They struggled in the beginning of the race but the last few legs they have really come in to their own. I hope they keep doing well - I think they will unless bad luck hits them.

Padivius--I like your description of this team. I can really respect the way they are playing. They can do well without being underhanded and calling the other teams any names.

And the bonus is that they are finding out so much about their relationship that had become strained with the infertility and double layoffs.. how lovely to find out that with the stress of the race, they really ARE a team in life!

I hope they win too. But even if they don't win the money, I think they will be the true winners anyway.

I am so hoping that an adopted child - or more - gets to join this very loving family!

You know they wanted to adopt arms loads of the kids at the orphanage. How sweet!
