I was rather annoyed with MoJo last night also. I don't like them anymore and want them out next week. BJ/Tyler joke around so much, that I'm sure their remark about yielding was said in jest. I just don't see BJ/Tyler as being evil backstabbers. They have seemed more than helpful to other teams along the way. I don't think they would even be that disappointed in losing. They are just totally enjoying this experience. I love the hippies. MoJo needs to chill and quit acting like mules...if you know what I mean.

At first, I was thinking that BJ/Tyler wouldn't really yield MoJo, but later on in the show, BJ/Tyler were talking and seemed serious about making good on the threat.

I think BJ and Tyler might be annoying to some of them and they DO seem to follow often. For instance when they had to drive through the flooded areas last week, at one point they were there first but were not brave enough to go ahead and they lost ground for that. I also wonder if anyone ever repays the teams who are kind enough to give them money at the beginning of a leg if they later beg and make extra money? I remember that Teri and husband got money and clothing from most of the teams and later she was crowing that they begged and ended up with more money than the other teams. Also often seems like a team that gives money ends up losing later. Had the hippies had to beg from strangers it might have kept them off that flight and that might have made the difference for Fran and Barry. (not sure since there was also that bunching point at the ferry). I'm actually not particularly fond of any of the teams. I like the hippies' attitude but not the playing to the camera, that got old weeks ago for me.

I dunno... I think there's definitely something going on between the hippies and MoJo - twice the hippies made the comment about when "yield season" comes, they would yield MoJo.

I agree with everything you said, Seamonkey. The Hippies have a great upbeat attitude but it does not seem totally genuine, to me. It is as if they began the show with those personalilties in mind and are following through with the script. My intention is not to cry foul and say they are bad people. Just something that has resonated with me from the start.

Most people who come across badly to the viewers, claim that it was the editing or pressure and they aren't that way in real life. Even if the hippies aren't completely genuine, it's hard to fault a couple of guys who consciously decide to treat local people they meet with respect, be friendly, maintain a positive attitude and show that they are having fun with the race. If they are acting – it's a good act!

I don't think it's an act, but I also don't care if it is. They're fun. That's much better to watch than people acting nasty.

Really Jimmer! How can you fault guys who are nice to the locals as well as the competition, as well as have really happy attitudes? I think they are genuinely having fun.

Didn't somebody post a few weeks back that people who know the hippies say that they are exactly like they are portrayed? Even when they were down last night they still were helpful - the one who was doing the prison detour showed Yolanda where the door to the caverns was.

Jimmer said: "Even if the hippies aren't completely genuine, it's hard to fault a couple of guys who consciously decide to treat local people they meet with respect, be friendly, maintain a positive attitude and show that they are having fun with the race." I totally agree. I'll admit, in the first episode or two, BJ and Tyler sorta bugged me, because I thought they were totally mugging it up and acting as "characters" for the cameras. But now I feel like, "Who cares if they are?" They've gone out of their way to be polite and upbeat to racers, locals and officials alike ... I have been especially impressed with their respect for the locals. So now I'm a big fan! P.S. -- every time they say "shukran," I think of Mocha for some reason!

I watched the tape of the show late last night and I was too tired to replay it but I think Yolanda said MoJo were not as nice as they looked. In the last two shows people have mentioned they didn't want MoJo to get the lead. So, they must have done something to someone. Barry said TAR was bad for their sex life right before they went into the room named The Pleasure Dome. LOL I am going to miss them. Too bad the cab they called did not show up. They called before Mojo did so I'm wondering what happened. If F/B had got the cab then I bet MoJO would have went home. Or maybe not. The whole race is luck, you either have it or you don't. Planning ahead doesn't always pan out.

Now Pamy,there are typos (type O's), and then there are type P's (for Pamy)! Which was it really? You can tell me - we're friends!

It was Yolanda who said that MoJo are not as nice as they seem on the surface. Fran and Barry were really cute on the morning show on CBS -- they are such a nice couple. Said they didn't regret giving the hippies the $20 at all. Also said it was just bad luck (cab that didn't show) that got them out of the race. Truly a class act.

Finally got around to watching my Tivo of last Tuesday's show. Watched the end with my 5YO, who wanted to watch "Mommy's show." It was fun watching with him, but I never realized there was so much swearing in this show! (Lot's of "Son of a " and "She's such a !") I cringed when one of the hippies said "jackass." I was hoping DS wouldn't say, "What's that mean, Mommy?"

Certainly we don't see everything that goes on, but I haven't seen anything that should make the other teams dislike my "hippies!" If they are disliking them because they are good players, have they not noticed how many times the Frat Boys have come in first? I was also disappointed in the FB - whom I have defended here as just being young and full of themselves - for not leaving my guys any money! Like $20 has EVER made anybody lose the race! Or have I forgotten something?

Well, TNT, maybe the Frat Boys spent all their money on Playboys and beer, and didn't have $20 to spare?
