I thought it was sweet that BJ and TYler were so glad that Fran and Barry were still in the race early on in tonight's epi! They are such nice guys - underwear or no underwear!!

I really liked Desiree a lot. Her mom should be so proud of her. Sorry to see them go before Team Dani. Hope Fran and Barry as well as Team Geek can hold their ground ahead of Team Dani. Team Dani, they are clueless right now and only follow-follow-follow.

I think Dani and Danielle should get a penalty elimination for following Wanda and Desiree even after it was obvious that they were hopelessly lost! GET A CLUE! BUY A MAP!

What I like most about this season is that everyone seems to be getting along and even helping each other. I too thought it was great the way BJ and Tyler cheered on Fran and Barry.

Could it be any more obvious that Phil does not care much for Eric and Jeremy.

Did you see Phil's face when the one frat boy said something about tongue action at the mat, I think they were talking about the pink ladies when he said it.

I am really getting tired of the frat boys. The only reason, I am not cheering for them to go right now is because they have played so well. They deserve to stay as long as they play this well, but I will not be disappointed at all when they are gone.

Unfortunately, I do not see them going any time soon, barring a major calamuity, like getting lost, or a breakdown. And they are usually so far ahead, that they can make up the bad breaks before the last team catches up.

While I think they're decent people, I am starting to really feel like BJ and Tyler are acting for the cameras. (All their hijinks and faces etc.) And it's bugging me a little.

While I don't like Eric and Jeremy, I think that Phil face was clearly edited in there for effect.

And oh dear. The Danis? Figure out the race on your own, ladies. Stop relying on everyone else...

Oh and re: Lake and Michelle, I sorta think they're BOTH snarky and not so great. I think Lake (so far) is not as evil as Jonathan.

Oh and the product placement is getting more and more obvious every season. A few seasons ago, there was a reason they carried the Travelocity gnomes (stuff on the bottom), but this time it was all about product placement. Oh and the Merecedes ride? The only thing that did was showcase the car, as there was no skill involved on the part of the racers.

i wonder what would have happened had i been in the car and puked on the driver? did you notice that some drivers were all the way up the wall and others were all below the yellow line? some of those cars at the top looked like they were going to roll over! i would have leaned into the driver to keep us upright; i wouldn't be able to help it :-)

i think the hippy boys' behavior is a riot. makes me think if landi and i were on here. you'd best all be behind us, no matter how wacky we got LOL

Did you see the look on Phil's face talking to Eric and Jeremy at the finish line?

The car ride was on the level of the zip lines or a parachute jump. That also does not take any skill on the part of the contestants. It is all in the hands of the experts.

The challenge comes in overcoming the fear involved. Of cours the race is not on the same level as the others, but the idea is the same. And some people might find going sideways in a car at 170 kmh a bit fightening.

I like the gnomes. I would have liked to see them have to do something else with them other than bring them with them. I assume they were supposed to bring them since the all did, but did they ever say they had to. If so, I did not hear it.

Of course that left the opportunity for someone to leave theirs behind and have to go back for it.

It was in the clue that they had to bring their gnome to the next clue box and so I assume somewhere along the line they were told to bring them to the pit stop.

Of course the hippies are playing to the cameras. That is obvious, but they are so joyous and light hearted while they are doing it that they make me laugh. It is like they are saying, "Come have fun with us."

I have a feeling that even though they are playing to the cameras, they are not faking the way they usually act. They just could not keep that up all this time if it was not real. And has either one of them ever said anything bad to the other?

the clue did say to 'bring it to the pit stop with you' about the gnome. when i didn't see the hippies' gnome, i was afraid they would have to go back to wherever their backpacks were and find it. one of them must have had it in his jacket.
it could have meant only the first ones in had to present it, since the prize was from travelocity.

It has been reported earlier (from a friend of a friend of a friend)that at least one of the Hippies is WYSIWYG.

I wish they'd shake some stuff up so that luck/chance would have a bigger part. Is there any doubt that the two boy teams will be in the final 3, if not the final 2?

I know how you feel.

The thing is that like them or not, they are just plain good at the game. There wasn't even anything particularly physical in the last couple of episodes that might have given an all male team a slight advantage.

I wouldn't like it if they turned the race into a lottery. As it is, they already slow the leaders down and bunch them up. Can you imagine how far ahead the guys would be if they didn't?

I hope the fact that some of the guys in the male/female teams did the gnome task doesn't come back to bite them in the tushy later if there are some "heavy lifting" tasks that their female teammates have to do!

I know this might not be a popular theory, BUT I wonder if the reason all-male teams do better than others is b/c, for the most part, there is never any "internal strife." With couples and all female groups, emotions, hurt feelings and bickering happen. As people have pointed out, the tasks haven't been really physically demanding, so that's not much of an advantage.

Thoughts?

OMG!! This had to be the funniest episode of TAR ever I was laughing and laughing at the teams dancing and at the other teams crashing their bottles on their partner's heads when the cuckoos came out. Soooooo funny!

And some of their expressions as they went around the track were priceless! Loved it!

Iheartkaysar - I think it has more to do with a team's maturity level than the gender of the players.
