What I find amazing is that Burton from survivor is alledgedly the room-mates other roommate? I find it amazing that these ladies are supposedly friends of Jon and Victoria and live with Burton!!!

I'll ask the same question that was asked on the other chat board...do these media (self moderated) live in packs?

Rating them:

who I currently like best to worst (changes every week)

tie for top: Brian/Greg, Uchenna/Joyce, Meredith/Gretchen
middle (not sure yet): Rob/Amber, Lynn/Alex, Susan/Patrick
bottom, but not really sure yet: Ron/Kelly, Ray/Deana

After writing that I guess it is too soon for me to really give them solid rankings yet...

Ousted racers remain tight-lipped

By TARA MERRIN -- Calgary Sun

Debbie Cloyed and Bianca Smith are keeping quiet. Despite several spoilers revealing the identity of The Amazing Race's winners swirling on the Internet, last week's eliminated team is not confirming who took home the $1 million prize.

"All the teams had what it took to win. They were all really competitive, so it really came down to luck," says Debbie, a 25-year-old photographer.

Bianca, 26, agrees some teams did seem to have the Midas touch -- a trait her and Debbie sometimes lacked.

Despite establishing themselves as strong competitors by winning the first leg of Race, the girls were sent home in the third episode after getting lost trying to find the Andes mountains. They drove more than two hours in the wrong direction, sealing their fate.

"Debbie and I are both smart girls, but we suck at directions. We knew that would be our weakness," says Bianca, a high school teacher.

They may have known they would get lost, but the one thing the women did not count on was Amber Brkich and Rob Mariano. The winner and runner-up of Survivor All Stars proved to be just as conniving on The Amazing Race as they had been on Survivor.

On last week's episode, Rob and Amber were shown stealing Bianca and Debbie's taxi while they were inside a hotel asking for directions. The ladies, however, suspect there may have been more the cameras missed.

"Somebody may have told the concierge to give us the wrong directions. It may have been the same somebody who stole our cab," Bianca says.

Regardless of what, or who, led to their elimination, they women say there are no hard feelings.

"Rob has really grown on me. One of my favourite moments on the show so far is when he said I was tough because I ate all the meat," says Debbie, who downed four pounds of beef product in record time and then ran to the pit-stop only to be sent home. "It's validating to watch the show and see that Rob was really doing the things we suspected he was doing. He's good TV."

Although their time on the Race was short, the lifelong friends from Virginia faced several personal challenges.

Among the toughest was a seemingly easy white-water rafting trip in Puente Viejo, Argentina.

While rafting last summer, Debbie was almost killed when she was tossed into the rapids and pinned under a rock beneath the water.

"I blacked out for over a minute, but somehow I survived. I guess that's why we decided to do the rafting -- I didn't want to go through my life having any fears."

Although their hopes of becoming the first all-female team to win The Amazing Race have been dashed, Debbie and Bianca, who are both well travelled and fluent in Spanish, are pleased with how they represented the fairer sex on the show.

"It would have been better if we had won, but I am happy with how we were portrayed. I think we came across as very strong women," says Debbie.

The affectionate duo, who express their love for each other with kisses, are surprised, however, by the constant buzz they are gay.

"It has turned into the big lesbian mystery," says Debbie, adding the rumours are false. "We both grew up in loving families and that is how we express ourselves. I just wish all people could have that same kind of friendship."

With their 15 minutes of fame almost behind them, Bianca and Debbie have pitched an idea for a new travel show to several networks and are planning to move to Argentina.

"Want to go back and learn to tango," says Bianca.

The Amazing Race 7 airs tomorrow on CTV and CBS at 10 p.m.

I haven't heard Phil say once this season that a person can perform only a certain number of Roadblocks(or is it detours?) I am not sure it is a rule this time.

I call it the "Tian-Jaree" rule.. Tian did all but one of them and it just wasn't fair to her. Maybe this means that at least they are now warned to bring a team of two, not one with a sidecar.

Yeah, at the time I wondered why Ray'd let her try the task. Seems they knew what it was before the decision, unlike some other RB.

Btw, that is another thing that puzzles me. Do they or are they not allowed to know more about the actual deed involved before commiting to each specific RB? I'm sure some of you could cite examoples in both cases. But isn't that not really fair?
I know, I know, what's fairness got to do with anything?

Yes.. that's why I ended up with Deanna 2, Ray 1.. She did the riding and the meat attempt, he did the show shine (what a GUY!) but my notes were speculative because the website doesn't list who did/attempted the meat, then I got the right answer from the spoilers on tvch but neglected to update the notes..

And yes, it was clear that some of them knew it involved four pounds of meat.. that could have been on the card, or it could have been that Rob and other teams informed them in an attempt to get them to quit..

Texas - It's a special 2-hour episode tonight. However, I'm, not sure if that means we get two eliminations (or one non-elim and one elim) or just an extra long leg.
