Whoever was yielded last time, said it was half an hour when they were on The Early Show. I think it was the girls that the frat rats liked. As you can tell I am no fan of the frat boys, or mojo. If any team other than the hippies or Ray and Yolanda win this thing I will be very unhappy.

Sea, I'm with you about the Hippies. I love them but sometimes I get the impression that they forget they're in a competition or they don't care. I find myself constantly yelling at them to get a move on. I'm thinking since BJ was driving and the three teams were bunched up he didn't have time to put on his shoes. I felt let down by the crocodile stunt. I didn't want anyone to be hurt, but it seemed way too easy.

The pretty sure has worn off of MoJo, hasn't it? It makes me wonder what the hippies have done that is sleazy...and heaven forbid! The hippies are trying to start rumors and Monica hasn't done anything to deserve it? GIVE ME A BREAK.

Again, I'm on the outside looking in as I like MoJo, the hippies and RaYo...I want those frat boys outta there. Which means, as stated above, they probably win.

I can't stand Mojo and I'd rather see them leave before anyone else. The hippies get on my nerves a bit as well I mean for crying out loud SPEED UP a little bit it won't hurt you to drive a bit faster I mean this is a RACE and a million dollars!!!!

Phil said the hippies remind him of Danny and Oswald. They were never in a big hurry either. As far as Mojo crying because they were yielded, they were going to yield the hippies had they gotten there first. I am totally done with Mojo. I hope either the hippies or Ray and Yolonda win.

I cannot stand MoJo. They should be very proud of themselves while watching each episode. They and everyone else gets to listen to how critical Monica is of everyone. I usually don't read the spoilers on the finale night, but I will this season because if they win, I will not watch it. Just the thought . . . . .grrrr

oh, i loved danny and oswald!!!! i think they and the earlier frat guys (drew and ?) were my favorites; and also zach for not drowning flo (letting her go with the flo, lol) the season they won. what an easy-going guy zach was. you know, this show would be funny if you showed up with your teammate and instead of them being your partner for the race, you had to draw random names from a hat to see who you REALLY had to travel with!!

Kevin and Drew from Season 1 were great and Danny and Oswald from Season 2, team Cha Cha. My all time favorites......loved it when they decided to buy cologne instead of eating one day because they just needed that to feel good.

I am so glad BJ and Tyler are still there. What an exciting race to the mat. I think BJ would have had his shoes if Eric and Jeremey weren't so close behind them after the river swim. He had no idea they'd be running a foot race to the mat. There was just no time for him to put them on with how close all three teams were driving and then running to the mat. I couldn't believe Monica complaining about that yield the way she did. (Some complaining I can understand, no one wants to be yielded, but the way she did it...) they were going to yield BJ and Tyler if they'd been there first. Exciting show.

Monica must've watched the "family" season and taken notes on how to act-- she seemed to be channeling whats her name & kids who whined about how "mean" everyone was for yielding them.

Even though I don't care for Frat boys I was impressed with their cancelling the taxis move!!! and pointing out that they use fake names(I never would have thought of that) Brillant!..lol even though it backfired. It always amazes me that more teams don;t think of that kind of thing. A million dollars is at stake,it's a race, and you don't have to be liked to win...unlike Survivor. Tnt, your wisdom is your legend!! well that, and those wild days you won;t give details about!

How funny was it to see the hourglass empty and Mo/Jo not going cuz they were arguing??? I was ROTF! I bet the cameraman was having a good chuckle also Speaking of cameramen/women they have to be the hardest and best in the biz!!! They keep up wiht action and you never even realize they are there. Esp on the sky dive, they had to dive at same time AND film the team

I wish they would have a show about how they put a season together, where the people go when they are eliminated and anything else we don't get to see.

I'm way over mojo and LOVE the hippies! I would be so happy if they won! But they need to get their butts in gear, although it is so much fun to watch them cavorting about. LOL I'm with the majority of you. I'll be happy if the hippies or Ray and Yolanda win. PS. I was LMAO when the frat boys cancelled their own taxi as well!

Twinkie said: I was LMAO when the frat boys cancelled their own taxi as well! HEY! Is that what actually happened? They said something about bad karma, but nothing really said I thought. Thought perhaps, mojo took the joke one step further! From what I've seen...people that I've met from Australia and also from posters I've conversed with from downunder over the years - - - they tend to be very friendly, open and GENEROUS people, especially to strangers. Bet this is going to be fun this week with the hippies once again penniless and this time shoeless. I just bet once again they run with more money than anyone else, with their charm and joviality. I hope they win, but they need to beef up the action!

Unfortunately, I doubt any other team will be giving them any money at the start of this leg. I was wondering where they got those funny hats - generous Aussies no doubt. 'squeek'

I really like Yolanda, so she & Ray are my favorites now. BJ & Tyler used the dreaded Yield (did I not say when they announced the introduction of the Yield before Season Five that I feared it was added to cause trouble between teams? I wish they'd leave that backstabbing melodrama to BB.) and they've made some poor choices these last few legs but I still like them enough to put them in my number two spot. But I'd be happy if either of these teams won. As for Eric & Jeremy (if Boston Rob had pulled that stunt, people would have loved it *ugh*) and Monica & Joseph (too funny about the hourglass), I kinda wish they would just get on the wrong plane and end up on the opposite side of the world. I guess that won't happen though. Darn it. I liked the Dry Detour a lot, glad a couple teams chose that one. And I was very impressed with everyone who did the Roadblock. Sky diving and bungee jumping are the two things I would really be afraid of on the Race. I don't like the eating tasks either.

My take on what happened to the frat boys' cab was that the "fake" name they gave (I can't remember who, but somebody famous!) was recognized by the cab company to be a fake so they didn't show up thinking it was a prank call! Does anybody remember what name they used??

They used "Doug Brubaker", which apparently is a fake name used by Arnold Schwarzenegger's character in "Total Recall". It doesn't seem to be obviously fake so maybe they just missed their cab.

Spear - If I, who am totally noncool and out of the loop to the max recognized the "fake" name, I am thinking that someone else might have made the connection?

i think you should get a time penalty if you cancel someone's cab or tell a booking agent to tell 'that group' that the flight is full, etc. you shouldn't be able to hurt the others. you don't have to give them directions or any hints as to what you have found or done, things you have actually accomplished, but you should NOT be able to undo what they have set up for themselves. it really made me angry that there were no penalties for sabbotaging another team's efforts.

I agree. At the very least that was unsportsmanshiplike and at the worst it was downright cheating!

While I don't care much for E/J or that they cancelled the cabs, I have to admit it was a brilliant move and I'd be surprised if it was against the rules. In any event, karma did bite them in the butt. I have seen numerous occasions when a team asked a booking agent to tell other teams the flight was full but I have never seen a booking agent do it.

I think cancelling cabs is significantly worse than any of the dirty tactics we've seen before. When a team asks somebody to deny assistance to other teams, it is up to that other person to agree to do it. That other person has to be responsible for violating their own rules or ethics. That's why this tactic rarely works. (A ticket agent was embarrassed when Uchenna/Joyce learned that she obeyed Rob and lied about the existence of a flight.) On the other hand, when E/J cancelled the cabs, the agent had no reasonable way of knowing that something underhanded was going on. I don't think teams should be allowed to deceive people outside the game in an effort to hinder their competitors. Tammy Gaghan from TAR8 posts in another forum and she thinks E/J should have been penalized because they had been told that they couldn't do things like cancelling another team's plane tickets or sabotaging their vehicle. Unfortunately, it looks like the producers let it go.

They may have had a penalty we didn't see -- if I remember from previous racers' posts, many "smaller" penalties are given at the mat that we don't see, but they are accounted for in their departure times. It'll be interesting to see what the teams say after it is all over.
