I was like "whewwww" when Phil said it was a non-elim - but I'm definitely bummed at the thought of no more hat. I'm definitely not feeling the love for Fran and Barry - it was very spiteful of them considering how the hippies have always been very supportive of them. I'm also a little tired of Ray and Yolanda constantly bickering. Take it to the Dr. Phil show, I don't want to hear it.

Fran and Barry did wait for the hippies outside the silver shop.

I love Fran & Berry and don't see spitefulness at all.

Well, considering the hippies had talked a guy into showing them where the silver shop was and told Fran & Barry to follow them (unlike the other teams who would try to lose F&B)...it only seems reasonable.

Julie, I don't think Fran and Barry are being spiteful (they have no reason to). I'm talking about the po'd look they get on their faces whenever they go into that "we aren't sharing" mode which they have done several times. It's like they're trying to get even. Just thinking out loud for a minute - I think it's interesting how a team will lie, avoid, ignore, etc. in order to not share information. Why can't a team simply say "I'm sorry but I would prefer not to share at this time."

I don't "read" that look to say that. To me, the look is more of them losing hope and trying to hang on cuz they know they don't have much of a chance to last much longer...

I don't much care for the frat boys, MoJo or RAYolanda. I like FranBerry, but their time is way limited. I love the hippies. I am hoping the Hippies will win.

I think Fran and Barry are scared that they are weaker than the other teams and they are probably trying as hard as they can to stay out of the "grandparent team" figure. They might be compensating by not helping some of the more agile teams. It's always easier to avoid the problem than be assertive and confront the problem by saying "Sorry, not this time." It's also a more direct way of saying, "I don't want to help you." Recall also that a couple episodes ago, Fran was very courteous to Lake and Michelle when they wanted to get flight information from them and Fran very politely asked them to step back from the ticket desk until they were done. Perhaps they think they've tried being cordial and got the cold shoulder in return? Personally, I really like Fran and Barry just as much as BJ and Tyler and I hope both teams make it to the final three teams.

ITA Pad! What team would really benefit from Fran and Berry anyways? Aren't they the weakest team by far?

It seems to me that this season more than a few of the so-called "stronger" teams have made bone-headed mistakes that caused them to be behind. So I'm not sure if any of the teams could be construed as being weaker. Despite their inability to see a clue box when it is staring them in the face at 5 feet, F&B seem to have the market captured on reading maps!

I'm sorry to see the frog hat and other items of humor leave also. To the one who said she will threaten to wear a frog hat to the wedding. Threaten but also get involved with her mom to make a veil on one for the bride to wear at the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Taken there is any sence of Humor at stressful situations for this individual.

A lot of us must be on the same wave length! I also thought of the lost frog hat and how Lena & Kristy were eliminated because of that awful Roadblock. That task still rankles me. Yea for Yolanda showing concern for the camel, and for Tyler staying so supportive of BJ. So glad it was a non-elim leg. Although I was kinda expecting it to be, I still held my breath at the mat. Like I've said before, some of B&T's antics/comments seem rehearsed to me but I still like them more than any of the other teams. Oman was a beautiful and interesting place to see!

I sure hope some of their good humor and overall always-being-nice-to-the-other-teams attitude will allow them to obtain some donated money for the next leg of the race from other racers (rather than begging the locals). 'squeek'

It's UPDATED!! YIPPEEE!!! Phil's blog has had 3 episodes added. It looks like they were barely staying ahead of the front racers; I'd say that it delayed them in putting up the blog except that the show is pre-recorded. LOL

BJ and Tyler may seem a little ott sometimes but I appreciate how they take the time in each country to learn the phrases that will assist them as well as please and thank you. I thought it was sweet as well how Yolanda was concerned about the camel's "elbow" and putting some more padding underneath. Fran and Barry seem negative alot with their seemingly constant this is so hard etc but I felt really thrilled for them that they got first place.

I'm not feeling the Fran and Barry love either. It bothered me how they acted at the airport and a lot of their commments during the race bother me. Yes, it does seem they're frustrated or worried, but still, it doesn't make them enjoyable to watch. I even like the frat boys better and I'll probably get wacked upsidethehead for saying that! LOL I know they can be super obnoxious as times, but I also hear them talking about how beautiful and awesome many of the places are and they seem to keep their humor going as well as BJ and Tyler. One thing I noticed that none of them at risk for elimination or non-elimination have been laying on the clothes like other races - unless I missed something!! I thought it was a riot when the others in past races would layer themselves all up before they got to Phil. I was only a "tad" bit worried that Tyler and BJ would be elminated since I've been thinking they should have had a "non" week before now, but I did worry a little! I'm also getting tired of Yolanda and Ray bickering. It must be hard when they're not used to spending a lot of time together. Still, it's so much more fun to watch the people who keep their spirits up. I also thought of those poor girls in the hay field when they were stuck in those piles of sand! I may even go out on a limb and say the frat boys just may help out our dear hippies.

I agree Watching, the frat boys are more enjoyable to watch than the older couple and Yolanda/Ray. The frat boys are my second favorite team behind the hippies. They are enjoying the race and often make me laugh. It did look to me like the hippies had on a few layers of clothes. Any one else think so?

Taken there is any sence of Humor at stressful situations for this individual." Hey TY, positively BRILLIANT idea!! In retrospect, after suggesting I could tease the bride about wearing the froggie hat to the wedding (for luck) - - - I realized that 'I value my life'; my kitties at home could become orphans! I have yet to see a Bride or a Mother-of-the-Bride with any sense of humor before the big-"To-Do"-day. But at the rehearsal dinner, now that's a different situation. Could get a veil for one froggie hat and a top hat for the other, then get two of their friends to sneak up behind simultaneously and button them on, "as they begin the most Amazing Journey of their lives". Thanks for the suggestion!!! NOW, I've just got to find the silly thang. HOWEVER, now that Phileminator has taken the clothes/cash/froghat away...maybe after the race, we will hear lots of info from other folks wanting to help the Hippie replace it. Plus, there's LOTS of frog collectors out there probably wanting one too.

Brenda1966 said: It did look to me like the hippies had on a few layers of clothes. Any one else think so? Back in the cuckoo clock episode, wasn't it one of the Hippies who said they needed to find a dressing room to change into the leather (sp?) Lederhosen - because they had no underpants on? I think they could be 'traveling light' - more so than any other team we've ever seen. But then again, in some ways that may be an asset since they won't have the weight of backpacks slowing them down. They may be smelling riper than the camels by the time they hit the finish line tho. Can't exactly stand at the Pitstop laundromat waiting for their clothes to suds&dry. I'm truly saddened to see the froggie hat and the fancy duds gone. Ruffled tuxedo shirts, matching orange britches - how ever will we spot them in the crowd? I'm so happy they weren't eliminated. This had just been one of the BEST races IMO! They're really covering a lot of countries and interesting challenges, not sticking around for a couple of challenges in any particular country or nearby area. Next week, I believe it's underground canals & prisons in Australia. I'm just loving it!

I don't think so, Pamy. I looked around on some other TAR forums, and people are wondering and guessing there, too.

I got the impression it was just a silly saying, like something a superhero would say when he goes into action: "TTOW!" I never heard them say it really meant anything.

I think TTOW refers to The Temple of Winds, a book by Terry Goodkind. According to Amazon it's a book about magic from the "Sword of Truth" series. It sounds very dungeon and dragon-y, and that seems to fit in with our favourite hippies.

TTOW = Teddy's Toys on Wheels I think he is some guy named Ted who restores old (metal?) toys.

From CBS.com, Amazing Race:
quote:Butting their helmets in excitement, the best friends shouted their familiar phrase, “TTOW,” which they describe as their “power word” and “the circle of the universe.”
