One comment about the Twins doing the "young and cute" routine next week. When my niece went to Israel area about 3 yrs ago (blonde and petite too) one stranger wanted to offer her parents "twelve camels" and he WASN'T joking.

The Twins are lucky they've got a camera crew watching over their little 'clueless' derrières. Although it could make for interesting TV if they happened onto a nest of "white slavers".

I agree with Max and all the rest of the Chip & Kim - Bowling Moms fans: I love them, if life were fair they would come in 1st & 2nd.

I'm really upset that Colin wasn't penalized for his actions. I know all's fair in this game, but he went way overboard. If anyone wonders why Americans have a bad reputation in other countries, he's one good reason.

Maybe Christy and Donnie should get together. They could form a support group - survivors of controlling, mean nasty reality show partners...LOL!

Ack! I missed the show!! But, thanks to all you guys (big, extra special thanks to Raenstorm)I know what happend! Of course, it makes me really upset about Sat. Night Football since I won't be able to see a repeat!! (and I thought I wsa mad enough about BB not being on! :-))

I knew it wasn't going to happen, but I really wanted Colin to go to jail after seeing previews last week. I really can't stand him - ever since the beginning of the show. And after last week's show, I'm all for the pairings being mentioned here of Colin and Nic. It blew my mind that she threw money at the guy last week and now I hear Colin did it this week. And people wonder why everyone hates Americans? Because of people like them who think they are entitled to things and have the 'right' to treat people like scum. UGH!!!

Must say how much I do love Chip and Kim though. (And the bowling moms too-they remind me of some of the ladies in my bowling league. lol) They all (Cand K especially) have such an appreciation for the places they get to do and the things they are seeing. They are getting so much out of this and somehow I feel like I'm getting somehting out of it too. They are just so excited about being in those places that it makes me excited too - and I don't even get to go there!

Anyways, first timer over here on this board, and while I hope I don't have to come back to check the 'recaps' I look forward to seeing you all again. This is a nice little place you've got over here - thanks for letting me say my piece! :-)

Also like Karen & Linda and Chip & Kim best!!! I was a bit puzzled when Chip stepped off the plane and gushed about being in Africa. He'd just gone down the Nile and been to Egypt, and thrilled to be there, too.. Did the world change a lot when I wasn't in school anymore? I thought Egypt was in Africa.. What did I miss? :-)

i have a feeling chip was referring to the part of africa that more then likely his ancestors came from. not sure but that was my thinking.

Riviere, Chip may have just been continuing his appreciation of being in Africa - seeing different sides of it, much the same way someone might gush in both NYC and the Rocky Mountains about how great it is to be in America, because America is so diverse. Another possibility - many people consider Egypt to be more in the "middle east" than in Africa. Just a guess.

One of the things I really enjoy about Chip and Kim is the fact that they've really appreciated pretty much everywhere they've been. The biggest pet peeve I've had about TAR is that the contestants are usually so understandably focused on the race they never seem to even notice where they are, so his appreciation is what steered me towards rooting for this team.

I also love the bowling moms! Not only because they are from here, but because in several legs they've been last or near last and somehow they keep managing to hang in there and keep going. They are very supportive of each other, which compared to a couple of the other teams, is better than most of them.

Agreed about C/K, Wargod. One of the TAR Insider video clips ("Material Girl") has Nicole gushing about Dubai because it was so modern and has the things she likes: Porsche and BMW dealers. Ugh, it's such a contrast to Chip and Kim gratefully accepting watermelon slices in the Tanzanian village.

Chip and Kim bring me to tears sometimes. I love their respect for each other, for the people and the places and their sense of history. I like that they respect the other teams but that Chip especially is willing to call them out on their actions, but not just to call out; he really wants to reason with them or discuss issues such as compassion for the people they hire, or over emphasis on money (but of course Kim is a bit more realistic there ..)

Biscottiii, LOL @ "white slavers"!

I do often woder about what could have happen if those camera & crew weren't around.
I think the next time they update those most whatever moments in Reality tv, Colin will have a special spot in it for sure.

Thanks for the posts Knsafornian & kc and others. You have made the feelings that I posted earlier much clearer regarding why I love Chip's attitude and how much that makes me love this game--despite people like Colin & Nicole.

LOL--"white slavers"--a new spin-off of the twins as chattels. Unable to decipher directions to the Sultan's room but always high energy gals . . .

But do we really care if the twins are carried off by white slavers?

I'm sure you all are happily sitting around watching. Since I'm on the West Coast I have to wait until 10pm - shuckey darn! Even though all the ads say they are showing 1 hr early, for some reason it didn't, maybe because we're on Daylite Svgs time.

I see though on the TAR newsletter there's a picture of the Clueless Twins doing something with cement bricks (& not looking like they're having fun).

So I'm left to assume 1) the taxi guys gave them a free lift and 2) the white slavers gave them a raincheck. Anxiously waiting in Seattle!
