How can you root for a team <like this>? Christie is saying 'just run them over', colin is always losing his control, and this is something you like? what is it that you like about these two ? Or are you just one of those people that like to take the opposite of everything. <SY>

I didn't say I liked them personally (I don't know them so I wouldn't presume to know what their TRUE personalities are like). I just think they are interesting to watch because they are so competitive and because they have been so successful. Many people defended Mirna for the same reasons. She was a <el> human being as portrayed on the show but she was interesting to watch. I think if Colin and Christie were eliminated that it wouldn't be nearly as much fun to watch the show's end.

Is next week a two-hour finale? And if so will one couple be eliminated in the first hour and then the final two compete to the end?

Roxip: Yes, it's a two-hour finale. I think in past seasons it was three teams left on the last leg. Since there are no more non-elimination rounds this season, I'd guess that one team will be booted in the first hour and then it's a race for the finish by the three remaining pairs. But I don't know it that's the case for sure.

I think Colin needs some anger management classes to help him. I'm don't think he can blame editing for all what we are seeing.

My only problem with Brandon constantly asking for God's help is that this is a game. It doesn't seem to me to be fairplay to be asking for God's assistance all the time. I just prefer a more level playing field. It's a bit of an unfair advantage to have God giving you assistance, I think. To keep you safe...yes. To help you win...no. Just my opinion. And yes...I also object to other contestants doing it as well. I'm not saying God is or isn't choosing sides...but in the interest of fairness...should anyone even be asking him to?

Well, if they don't want to go to the Highest Power for assistance (and by the way don't Chip and Kim do that too?), that's on them, not on God.

I'll bet Chip and Kim pray next week that Colin and Christie don't get in front of them...LOL!

Marysafan, I'm really not trying to start an argument because I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I do respect yours, but I do have to say this - how do you know that no one else is praying? Just because we don't see them doing it out loud doesn't mean they're not doing it in their heart. And I don't think there are really any rules about what you can or cannot ask for or when you can ask for it. Isn't it great that we live in a country where we can even have this discussion. And for the record, I most certainly do not consider myself to be a saint. Just ask anyone that's known me, especially in the 70's.

I think reality TV shows in general shed some light on just how much some people do pray and how important prayer is in everything they do. I don't find it offensive at all - I find it illuminating.

Umm...Native Texan ...if you read my post again...you will see that I acknowledge that others are indeed doing it...that is not to say that they all are. And hypothetically is it really fair to do that in a game? That's all I'm saying. There are no rules that specifically address certain things. There are all kinds of ways to circumvent the competition without breaking the rules...but is that in the best interest of fairplay? There is absolutely no way to monitor it or control from a competition standpoint...it's just something that annoys me as a viewer. It's just my personal opinion. For example...let's say that I have an uncle who is the ambassador to Hong Kong. Before I leave to go on the show...I let my Uncle know what I am doing and ask him for help. "Please Uncle...don't let me get lost." Let's say that he knows when the show is coming and has someone meet my team at the airport...(I didn't call him...he just knew when I was coming so I didn't break any rules.) The clue says to take a cab to a certain destination. My uncles agent has a cab waiting for me...and a police escort to the appointed destination. Now I didn't break any rules...but is that really fair? Was it wrong of my uncle to help me...I don't think so. Was it wrong for me to ask for his help? In my opinion in the interest of fairplay (even though I didn't break any rules...it was. Do you see my point at all?

First, as a producer, I would want to know how you knew you were going to Hong Kong. Second, I would leave out the police escort. That would be too obvious. Yes, I do see your point. In Survivor, Johnny "Fairplay" used a pre-game strategy. I thought the strategy he used (telling everyone is grandma died) was both reprehensible and genius. Without considering written rules, I guess it basically comes down to each person's own beliefs and moral values. Although I am not always successful, I truly try not judge anyone because I am not perfect by any means and my opinion is not the one that matters. My point is that I don't understand why so many people have a problem with the mention of God and prayer on TV (reality or not). With some of the things we hear and see on TV (or anywhere else for that matter) nowadays, it's nice to hear.

When Chip/Kim use the yield on Colin/Christi, I was thinking that all of the other players also wanted to do the same thing. Yet they stood around and let C/K do the deed, thus letting C/K take the wrath of C/C even tho all the rest got the benefit.

I'm really enjoying this season of TAR! I admire the competitiveness of Colin and Christie so much and how they refuse to allow things to get them down. They may not be the most PC bunch in the world, and they certainly talk to each other frankly, but I really like their "balls out" attitude in the game. As the show has progressed, I have come to realize that they are a perfect match: Christy gives as good as she gets and loves the adrenaline rush in the competitions as much as Colin does. I still remember how sweet he was when she ate the caviar [blech]...and he held her and rubbed her back. Theirs is an unconventional, but very real, nurturing. I also really enjoy Chip and Kim. They have an interesting chemistry and I like that Kim really controls the way they are running the race and keeps reigning in Chip. They have a great sense of adventure and they have shown themselves to be wonderfully competitive, as well. Brandon and Nicole are young but seem to have their heads on straight: they can focus on a task and get it done. They are of course an attractive pair, also. The Bowling Moms seem pleasant enough and they have proven that one doesn't need tremendous athleticism or a pleasing voice to do well in the game. How exciting for us that we have had the opportunity to watch them this season!

Tishala--love the "or pleasing voice" Colin pitched a temper tantrum like a 5 year old child. He needs a whumpin' from his momma I am just sooo glad the twins are gone.

I too am enjoying AR this season!! Kim and Chip are my favorites. They never seem to let things get them down and they approach everything with humor and optimisim. Chip cracks me up...and I truly enjoy the way the interact as a couple and a team and are just plain enjoying themselves in this game. Their enjoyment adds so much to mine. Their good natured bantering and razzing of each other is quite a contast to the yelling and shouting of the Double C's. GO KIM AND CHIP>.... Win this thing!!!

I harbor a tiny hope that Chip and Kim will win and I am looking at editing for this clue. It is unlikely that they have not exchanged tense words or had a tiff. It is human to react to stress and have your partner trigger something at some point. They have chosen not to show this. They are being edited as the shining stars.

Hey DJ, you're not alone at all... you've got a few C&C fans on your side. Here's hoping they take it all the way!

For those that might be interested.. I read in my TV guide a few minutes ago that Charla and Mirna are going to be on MAD TV this evening at 10 pm central.

That is definately some nice news to see, Yankee! I had heard whisperings that they came through Banff, but I was starting to worry that the information I'd seen had been crossed with TAR6. I'm very glad they're coming through our fine land this time 'round. (In previous seasons, I've written letters to CBS about once every two weeks: "Please, oh please, let Canadians on your show! If you can't do that, please at least bring the show through Canada!" Looks like they complied.
