What a bland show. They went to India and nothing interesting happened! That's a first.

I miss Raen. sob! Next week should be a lot of crabby people because they were all complaining of being tired. I still want Rob and Amber to stay until the last episode. Funny that Lynn wants Gretchen and Meridith in the race for final 3 because they probably believe they can and would beat them to the finish line. lol

I don't mean to sound like a snob, but I really don't like watching the episodes when the teams are in India. The chaos, the lack of space and the garbage makes me so uncomfortable. I am sick of Gretchen. She can't focus and she can't shut her big mouth. Now, I want her gone more than Rob and Amber. This thread feels weird without Raen. Raen, you were missed!

Yeah.. Lynn wants to compete with who he sees as weakest; therefore, I hope they come in just behind Gretchen and Meredith, even though I don't care for her. I think Lynn thinks they are the only team he can beat in a footrace.. Bastable, I think we'll have another week of India.. hopefully something will happen.. but then there are camels, hmm.. Any predictions? It would seem odd to have them in India without a long train trip..

I am really getting tired of Kelly. She seems to have gone from being little Miss Sunshine in the first couple of episodes to Miss Witchy (spelled with a B.) Even though Gretchen moans a lot, she still just keeps plugging along. Her complaining somehow just does not seem as bad as Kelly's. It is usually happens when she is not doing a task well and is afraid of being eliminated and seems to be aimed as much at herself as at her partner. Kelly just seems to be very unhappy about everything, especially her partner.

Oh yeah, speaking of Kelly... In every freaking episode Ron mentions something about Iraq. I had respect for the guy the first couple of times he mentioned his experiences there. But now they are getting tiresome.

Gretchen started whining the minute she got into the box factory! Unfortunately, she feels like she's not doing well or Meredith isn't doing well on ALL the tasks! Ugggh! She's getting on my last nerve! I did find it totally sweet and touching how locals treated them and how they react to the people, tho. I understand why Ron mentions Iraq all the time. There's guys who mention Nam all the time, STILL. Unless you've been there and experienced what they have, I can't imagine. Watched a Nightline show about how hard it is for them to adjust to regular life after being in the service. Plus, I'm sure those places do remind him of Iraq more than any other place he's been. I'm liking him more and liking Kelly less, although she was better for the most part in this episode than the last.

Stupid stupid Move! Rob and Amber should have been Yielded just for the sake of the game. I believe they might just win this season. Rob has a smiling easygoing way about him that gets people to do whatever he wants. Amber is her usual 'follower with mouth shut' self. Actually they are a pretty good team. Gret and Mer are barely hanging in there. She gets so unfocused and they both slow down when they feel they are at the end anyways. I really dont know who I'd like to USE the Fast Forward next. Surely it will be coming up next episode.

I think the lack of yeilding was due to the fact that R/A were standing right behind R/K. R/K didn't have time to think before smooth Rob talked them out of it. Then Rob couldn't help himself and made an aside comment that R/K were stupid. Gretchen was annoying me last night by wandering around the boxes saying "oh my" instead of opening them up. Then when she finds the clue she slowly wanders out with it to Meredith. Get the lead out! As we keep hearing "This is a race."

I still am pulling for G/M, they are still hangin' in there. (Tho if they move as slowly as they did last night, they won't be there for long!) I also am pulling for Alex/Lynn and Uchenna/Joyce. I also would like R/A to stay a little longer...

Dog, I agree that's why they didn't yield R/A too. I thought it was so cool how the throngs of people were standing along the road cheering everyone in. I like G, but she does seem to get so overwhelmed.

Ron asked Kelly first then he asked Rob what to do. Everyone is always talking about Rob, what about Alex's little move telling the woman don't let them use your phone. I can't stand them and it has nothing to do with anything but their holier then thou ways. I do like Rob and Amber. I don't see her as a follower because she does speak her mind. I am more relieved to see them in the race and see the appearnce of a genuine relationship that is functional and working. I was concerned that the relationship was a gimmick for Rob. Rob really appears to respect Amber. This race really appears to bring out the worst in relationships.

Another thing I thought was interesting was Kelly's little spill about the fact now they are coming in 1st or 2nd, the other teams want nothing to do with them.

Sher, hasn't you learned?? When Alex does something like that, he's just playing the game. It's not a reflection on his character, just smart racing.

Alex may have told the woman to not let Rob use her cell, but Rob told the Airline ticket agent to NOT sell anyone else tickets... Why is it awful for Alex to play the game that way, but with Rob its ok? Seems like a double standard to me.

Why can't BOTH, ALL, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE TEAMS play that way without criticism????

I can't imagine. Watched a Nightline show about how hard it is for them to adjust to regular life after being in the service. Plus, I'm sure those places do remind him of Iraq more than any other place he's been. Well, it can't be that hard for Ron to adjust. He's on a reality TV show. Also, it would seem, EVERY place they've been to while on TAR reminds him of Iraq. Call me cynical, but I think part of the reason Ron mentions Iraq so much is because, when he does, people automatically feel sorry for him, have an instant respect for him and it makes him feel special. I don't think he's doing it on purpose, but I think he is milking it.

Here, here Tex!!!! I think the only thing that bothers me is the continued use of "OMG" by Gretchen.

I was annoyed with Gretchen whining in the boxes task - just open them and stop taking hug and water breaks - but Meredeth was great for just encouraging her. I agree Texannie - both teams are playing the game who cares they told someone to not let anyone else use the phone or find out about the tickets - it's part of the game. Funny though that Lynn & Alex were the first to complain when Rob told the security guard in the first episode to not talk to them and then they do it when it suits them. I don't mind that they do it but don't complain if someone beats you too it!! Still Love Uchenna & Joyce - they are so sweet to each other and to others around them.

I thought it was funny when Gretchen said, "Shame on you," to the guy who took the tea.

I think there is a difference Sassy--re. Rob vs. Lynn & Alex. I believe L/A were complaining cuz Rob was lying about it, not that he did it...

Puzzled, I got tickled with that too. Julie, the Rob fans think he is just being sassy too. It's all a matter of perspective, isn't it? Two teams do the same thing, but one is sassy and one is smart.
