That's true, Costacat, C&C already took a FF which didn't do them much good(hehehe). I wonder which team's going to get that? Could be the twins, they always jump on things w/o reading even the big prints never mind the fine prints.

Chip doesn't have any to loose but Kim have some precious hair there. Brandon seems to care about his mop also. Of the moms, Linda would just bite the bullet and go, not sure about the other lady(I can't even remember her name right now.)

Chip and Kim are the polar opposites of C&C. They seem to respect each other and those around them.

Thanks for such sweet thoughts, Hamsterlady!
Goodnight to you. This is making up for the boring day, isn't it?
I think I will welcome boring days on Tuesdays from now on. (They canceled another of those exciting rehearsals this eve, eles I couldn't even be around!)

Just got done watching the show ~ good episode!

And I'm so glad the bowling moms are hanging in there!

Chip & Kim ~ wonderful as always although I was scared there for a moment when they got stuck in the sand.

Colin? I've said it before and I'll say it again ~ the epitome of an "ugly American". The head of the police is telling him to get inside and all he can do is argue that he has a plane to catch. I was so hoping they'd put him in jail for just one night to humble his soul. And then when he does get back to the airport, he's all proud like he accomplished something. I was feeling sorry for Christy until the end and then realized she deserved him. I really don't understand people who go to another country and think just because they're Americans, the laws there don't apply to them. Ugh ugh ugh!

I was so hoping Colin was going to be locked up if only for a brief moment. If Colin and Christie wind up winning this race I swear I'm going to give it up. Seems the worst behaved people win this race most of the time.

Go Bowling Moms and Chip and Kim - I will be very glad for either of these teams to win.

OMG -- I am watching this on west coast time now. Colin is out of control. Out of control. Out of control.

Ugh! Something came up and I had to step away from the show for a few minutes tonight. :-( What did Colin do to avoid having to stay there? Did he finally pay the money? His behavior was extremely vile tonight. I was actually hoping that he'd be detained and that they would be eliminated because of it. I felt like all of the other teams were SO embarrassed to even be anywhere near him when that whole exchange was going on. His rudeness gives Americans a bad name! Thank goodness Chip is there to deflect the negativity!:-)

Thanks for any replies!

He finally paid - but not willingly. He threw the money at them in a fit of rage.

OK, I kinda like Colin, I hate to admit, because he's so borderline, even though he went WAY too far tonight and I would love to see him in jail for a LONG time. But can anyone say something about Nic too? What's with her "being raped" over the prices? Been in Kenya too long, sweety? That goes hand in hand with her throwing the money on the ground last week when she had to pay more than she wanted. She's like an antebellum plantation mistress sometimes. IMHO.

I hear you loud and clear Tishala. Nic has been having some attitude the last several weeks. I wonder if she has tended to be somewhat spoiled in her background. Some of her comments have been really uncalled for toward the locals in the countries. I think Brandon has been a little embarrassed of her behavior at times. He seems to have the more friendlier, genuine nature of the two, and at least appears to be guided more by his faith.

Perhaps we can instigate some type of Roadblock where the two teams have to trade partners.

Brandon/Christy
Colin/Nic

Maybe their personalities would jive better.

Thanks, Pirate! I figured that he must have paid the man. Class act...throwing it at him! See Colin and Nic should be the team together. They seem to have the same style of doing things!

I don't like team Nic and Brandon either for that very reason Tishala. I don't like anyone who talks as mean and nasty as Colin does to Christy and she just takes it. She is a classic abused woman who trys to pacify the bully. She takes all the blame so he will shut up. He appears to be on the verge of getting physically abusive - IMO.

Colin was acting like a total ass! He is in a foreign country, not too smart to go off like that/..I bet if the cameras weren't there the outcome wouldn't have been so nice

I bet that's one reason why Colin stupidly pushed the issue. He probably figured that with the cameras being there that "the show" would get him out of any difficulties. He probably felt that "the show" would help him get his way. I wonder how much of a bully he would have been if he were alone with the locals in a foreign country? I have a feeling he may not have been quite as abusive as he was without the cameras in tow.

Yes, Christy's apologizing seemed to tell a lot about the dynamics of their relationship. I felt sad for her.

Totally happy to see the consensus of opinion re the show tonight.:-)
I dislike Colin so much that I felt cheated and disappointed that he gave up and threw the money at the poor taxi driver. If he'd done that in North America, I think they'd have tossed him in the hoosegow for disorderly conduct, it was shameful, and I salute the dignity of the Africans who showed a great deal more class than he did.
I was also upset to see her apologise for uspetting him, and tell the cameras that she had been wrong. No, she wasn't she was RIGHT, and I hope she learns something from this and gives Colin the heave ho after the race.

Next week it will be very interesting to see who is going to have to lose their hair!

I don't feel one bit of sadness for Christy... I mean she seems to like being treated like a second class citizen to Colin. Sorry, but if my dear hubby talked to me that way (especially in front of cameras) we would definitely have words and there would be NO WAY IN HELL I would apologize. And what was with the "gimme a kiss" ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh why oh why are they still here?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?

Alright dont throw shoes at me BUT in defense of Colin:

Traveling in that environment is very intense, additionally cabbies in various parts of the world will cheat you if given the opportunity. He probably thought that was the case in this episode.

It almost seems as though all the cabbies were charging the same amount of money. It is possible the show arranged the cabbies in some fashion with a preset fare amount.

I think Colin is very travel savvy and is a very intense person. Is he over the edge? maybe, but it makes good tv. Is he a bad person? I dont think so. He just needs a little anger management. The previews for the next week show that he has another temper tantrum.

I have traveled around the world flying on standby for one of our large carriers and have been in some stressful situations where I can totally relate to what they were going through.
Though I will have to say I would have backed off a lot sooner.

Sidenote: Chip and Colin have great respect for each other and appears to maybe have a helping each other when possible agreement.

Colin could not have been more wrong, <nd>

He made an agreement (i.e. contract) with the driver before he got in the taxi, for the driver to take him to the airport. That's what the driver did. There was no guarantee of how long it would take or that he would arrive in the same order they left in. What a bunch of hooey.

He deserves to be still there, rotting in that jail for the tantrum he threw and the way he treated those policemen.

Shameful. Just absolutely shameful.

I was hoping that Colin would be thrown in jail and they missed their flight

His behavior was so bad, and like others said, you just don't do that in a foreign country.

Go bowling moms :-)

I was hoping that Phil would say, "Colin and Christy, you are the first to arrive......however, because your behavior on this leg of the race was beyond tolerable and reflected badly on our entire group, we can no longer accept responsibility for your safety so we have to eliminate you from the race."

One can dream.

As I watched, Colin and Christy got in the cab after agreeing on a fare of $100 US. Once tha cab was already on its way and Colin became concerned about other cabs passing them, he then threatened the driver that he would only pay $50 if their cab didn't get there first (this was long before the tire blow out. By the time he got to the police station he said he wouldn't pay because the ride was "unsafe" due to the donut tire although both he and Christy were standing there unharmed. IMO - you can't change your contract half way through.

Does traveling make one very stressed and act out in bad ways? Sure it does. But Colin cannot spin that incident and try to make himself look good. He acted badly from beginning to end. Throwing the money at people who had nothing to do with the original situation just added insult to injury. I sort wish he'd been arrested and made to miss his flight.

The other thing that REALLY bothered me was why did Christy owe Colin an apology?!? He created the situation, not her. I found it just crazy that she apologized and he didn't. (just wow!!!!)

Colin was the epitome of the ugly american.

everyone has pretty much summed it up for me my feelings for colin.
but nicole. first it ticked me off when she goes on about her faith and forms an alliance with charla and mirna and then LIES to them about someone buying them tickets. second she was sooo rude when she didn't want to pay the ten dollars and THROWS it on the floor instead of handing it to him, likes he's a dog instead of a human being. Third her whole act she did with eating the caviar. give me a break. and if i hear "baby" one more time i think i'm going to puke. hello you people have names!

Gina,
You have said all that I wanted to say... so I shall just say "Ditto"
