What a great episode!!!!!! Rob definitely outsmarted himself to 3rd place! LOL Poor Gretchen and Meredith can't find anything!
Kelly most definitely accused him of becoming a POW to get out of the war.

Yes Kelly did, but I still think she was *trying* to be funny. Dry sense of humor. Well, at least that is what I am hoping in that particular case. I still think she is rather selfish though... Like him, dislike her.

You are right about Rob outsmarting himself!!! HAHAHA!!!

That was another fun episode. This is a great season for TAR!

Rob and Amber came very close to making a game-ending mistake. Rob’s cocky attitude playing the game finally caught up to him. The upside of this (or downside depending on your perspective) is now that they have dodged this one, he will probably be a lot more careful for the remainder of the game. And I’m right on-side with Pamy – I want Rob and Amber there to the end for entertainment purposes.

Uchenna and Joyce are a great team. I agree that it’s too bad that they didn’t win a prize for coming in first again. I do hope that Joyce doesn’t keep talking about God’s plan – I’m not convinced that God is a TAR viewer.

Gretchen continues with the vocals and the “Oh my Gods!” but you’ve got to give her credit for determination. And Meredith is a Prince.

I didn’t mind seeing Ron and Kelly win the prize. Ron appeared to handle Kelly’s comments a lot easier than many viewers did. He seems like a really decent guy.

Great season!!!

I did love Uchenna asking where his princess was in the same episode that Kelly showed her true feelings. Wonder what they will do in that suite after that smiling through their teeth arguement?

I don't think she was trying to be funny, Julie. She was saying it after he said he wanted to travel the world before he settled down. She said she was ready for a commitment and then went on about how he was afraid to make commitments. He said 'that's right I wasn't committed to the Army' and then she made her comment.

I liked Gretchen this week. She should be proud of herself for climbing the rope ladder and she had fun with the repelling.

I am so not a religious person however I took Joyce's statements differently. Her talking about Gods plan was in reference to her losing her hair, it wasnt about a race per se. She just seemed to say Que sera sera. if it was in the plan to lose her hair then so be it.

I really didnt see it as God has a plan for her and Uchenna for the game.

i was surprised by ron's comment about waiting for kids and settling down. i thought he already had a child. if so the genie is out of that bottle.

It is interesting though, having seen more of the argument, that Kelly was the one who wanted Ron to commit to her. When I saw the preview, I assumed she was talking about the game but it was personal. She seems to want a relationship with him more than he wants a relationship with her.

Maris, I do like your interpretation of Joyce's comments. I like them as a team and I never like to think of God helping people achieve secular goals.

Oh so close...so close to seeing R & A last....sooo close to seeing them lose all their belongings and money...so close to them almost getting eliminated.

I crossed my fingers, hoping Ron's military background would get him caught up to Rob and pass him...he totally showed the detour thinkeruppers that it was too easy.

So close...great seeing Rob squirm as he realized two teams were ahead of him. Great to see Rob not win the prize. Great to see Rob beat by the Blind leading the blind.

Great episode but not good enough.

GO Uchenna and Joyce!

Rob was his own downfall. I wonder if he learned a lesson. I took Phil's info to mean they can't start the next leg with any money at all so all the begging must be after the clue is given.

Well then , I would go back to the 4 seasons after getting the clue and beg there.......

Ron could even sell his autograph as a former POW (You know Rob and Amber would do that ....)... but, begging must be hard to do!

Amber seems one who avoids conflict both on and off camera but in private she probably has more to say. She fixed a stony stare at Rob when he gloated about playing with Gretchens mind and calling the two leading teams stupid. She was NOT happy with his behavior.

Amazing that one cocky remark designed to throw the others off balance almost did them in.

I still love 'em!

Even though I should have warmed to Gretchen tonight, I did not. I find her annoying but good for her to climb that tower! They would not have been in second place had other teams not helped them, however. They got money and clothes without having to beg on the street allowing them to start with the group and both J/U and L/A helped them along the way, as well. She looks and acts old for 66. I thought she was in her seventies.

What a great show!

I am pretty sure that Ron trying to sell autographs in Turkey would be a totally bad idea.

Loved this episode. Rob was hoisted on his own petard--I wonder if he even realised it.

Gretchen certainly is a trooper. It was so nice to see Rob/Amber come in behind Uchenna, Joyce, and the old couple. LOL.

I don't think there's much time difference between M/G and R/A. The sun looks like it's about the same.

You are very observant, Csnog--I didn't notice at all.

That would mean that three teams are neck and neck.

not reading any of the above because i don't want to know if anyone goes--or who goes--but i am tired of rob's nasty and rude comments so far in this show....45 minutes left of hearing how stupid the others are, i guess.....

okay, spoil away! oh yeah, it's over here, too, and i already watched it.... :-)

i was kinda glad to see rob knocked off his high horse for once. i laughed at the preview where joyce screams at uchenna that she can't understand what the hell he is saying. it's cute because it's not the norm for them. if someone else was screaming i would probably be tired of the same ol' same ol', but joyce and uchenna rarely 'lose it'.
i would guess if ron and kelly split up after the end of TAR, they could each take someone else and go on vacations... just spend their time with the other people they take along! wow, 20,000 smackers is quite a nice couple of trips...

As much as I like Rob and Amber (because I am originally from Boston, and because he looks so much like my nephew Jimmy), I really cringed tonight when he made his remarks about the other two teams. He was nasty, nasty, nasty tonight -- no doubt about it.

I still want Uchenna and Joyce to win. Their attitude, outlook, and appreciation of every country they have been to is so admirable. They embrace every culture they have come in contact with so much respect. They understand the different cultures and don't refer to them as being 'strange or weird' as Amber did in the Phil's video diary.

Rob and Amber are fun to watch because they keep everyone on their toes -- well, most of the time. But Uchenna and Joyce play this game with such class. Of course, after watching the previews for next week's show, I'm not so sure anymore.

Another amazing episode! It's the fastest hour in tv. We no sooner sit down then it's over. Hubby got on my bad side just as it was starting tonight by saying he thought next week would be it. But, low and behold its not. Must be over the week after.

Does anyone know when the next one is? Would it be the "family" Amazing race?
