I wasn't particulary bothered by Eric or Jeremy (the reminded me of the Linz boys)and what they said to Dani and Danielle (they seemed to enjoy it)for what it was, but figure that is why they changed to a 10pm show. I'm sure it will bother parents who enjoyed watching it with their kids. Also when one of the boys said to one of the D's I'm going to touch, it looked to me like he touched her lower back while getting a better look at her tattoo versus grabbing her butt. It will get tiresome though listening to their sex on the brain, hopefully Phil pointing it out may change their focus. The episode seem to go by so much quicker than the family eps, it was over before you knew it. I can't say I was sorry to see the sisters go, the one was so pessimistic it seemed. My favourite teams so far are BJ and Tyler and David and Lorie, they seem to work so well together.

Here, there is an hour between the end of AI and the start of TAR.

I'm crazy about Lori and David. The hippie guys really annoy me at times but they've won me over with their enjoyment of the whole experience so they are #2 with me and I loved it so much when they came in ahead and won the trip! Eric and Jeremy also commented on one of the women who is married to her TAR partner.. that's more disrespectful, IMO, than the some mutual thing with Dani and Danielle. I was happy to see the older couple come in ahead of the screeching sisters. Now hopefully they'll recoup, make some right choices and even get lucky (or not unlucky a la dead battery).

i was thinking at first that they would get a time allowance for the dead battery but then i remembered that the group that got a time allowance on an earlier TAR got it because the cameraman had drained the battery charging something while the engine was off and the team was doing a challenge. so i am assuming if production messes you up, it gives you a an allowance and if 'shit happens' on its own, you don't.

Tabbyking, I was thinking along the same lines last night. I guess it makes sense, though, that a team can't be compensated for bad luck. Some teams get taxi drivers who know exactly where to go, others get less able drivers. There's an element of luck in this game.

Yeah remember when Lori and Bolo had to get a third substitute car and then missed a train.. turned out the still caught up at a bunching place but they got no time.. and I'm blanking on who got stuck with a dead boat and had to wait for a new one and that did them in.

I can understand why some think there's a double standard concerning E&J but, in my case, it's not their horn dog behavior that bothers me. I just didn't like one of them calling D&D "b*tches" or saying "woman" like that to Phil. I don't care how casually people use the word b*tch nowadays - would it be considered as trivial if he had used a slur directed at a different group? I doubt it. And while I agree that D&D's flirt strategy to get people to help them was silly & sexist, I knew it wasn't going to work for them. Not only has that tactic failed for the past female teams that tried it, but female Racers have been treated pretty badly in some places, by some people (and yes, so have guys). To D&D's credit, it seems they caught on pretty quickly and realized that maybe that plan wasn't so smart after all.

Re the patches on Lake's and his wife's neck... Several years ago I had a bout of vertigo. My doctor could not see me, so the only appointment I could wrangle was with his PA. I have never liked her, but I was desperate for a remedy. She gave me said patches, telling me to wear them over next 3 weeks. After a week I felt even worse. Couldn't sleep etc. I decided to go to my ENT that I like very much. His eyes became as big as saucers when I showed him the patches the PA gave me. He said those are NOT supposed to be wore continuously for extended periods of time. They are known to cause psychotic behavior with extended wear! His last patient(that also had an uninformed doctor) tried to climb a tree a 3 am in the morning...she was 63 years old! So, I was just laughing to myself thinking....if the two of them keep them on for the whole trip,we might be in for some extra crazy behavior from Lake! I can hardly wait!

I really like the hippies and the nerds better than any other groups that have been on before. They all seem to just enjoy the experience so much and seem to be having so much fun. And they support their partners.

I love the hippies. They cracked me up when they jumped out onto the road and scared the crap out of Eric and Jeremy....lol...I hope they stick around for a long time for us to watch.
