Soooo, is it Chip given that he learned his lesson with the YIELD or someone else?? Hmmm. Darn that Ivan. Can't these hurricanes just go away? I need to move. If it interrupts my TAR next week I'm gonna be mad.

I bet it's Chip and Kim betrayed by Colin and Christie. They probably arrive at the same time and C/K let C/C go onto the yield first and then they get screwed by Colin. LOL! I don't like Colin, so of course I think that he is the betrayer.

LOL Az... unfortunately, you're probably right. I'll just have to hope not.

Oh my word. They go to Rotorua in New-frickin-Zealand, my most special place on earth, and I miss the episode. I am traveling and forgot it was Tuesday until 10:52. I did see the very end, though. Thank goodness it wasn't Chip and Kim. Did Colin sound like he was crying in that "scenes from next week" clip?

This was a great show. I like the ones in the third world countries, but I get very nervous watching them sometimes, because some of them just don't seem to realize they are in a foreign country and you have to go by their rules. Did the tasks seem rather easier this week? I know the white rapids was a little scary and the mud pit sucked, but on the whole I thought the tasks looked like fun. Maybe the producers thought it was time for an easy week after the last few ones that were so hard and sometimes so dirty and nasty.

Thanx so much too Raenstorm, I can't believe you can type so fast and pack in so much detail! Tonite I decided I wanted to watch unknowing. But now I come back and you clarified something, just like I thought I saw: Earlier beginning spoiler: "Chip tells Colin they have to go to the travel agency to book their flight. Looked like Chip/Kim saw C/C looking unsure of how to proceed." You know, I recognize that Chip wants to be a nice guy. But I think he needs to decide whether he wants to run (WIN) this race, or just to be the Bellhop showing&waving everyone else to the finish line!!! The way I watched it, that little tip to C/C was what ultimately lost Chip/Kim the first two seats on the first flight out of there. Later, he gave the Yield to the Twins, which OK I can appreciate since nobody else is sinking to using the Yield. For so long I thought it was great that Chip was so helpful. I applaud Kim for puckering up her lips and not snarling at him. But, like I said, I think Chip needs to decide if he's actually wanting to win. He's becoming his own personal adversary, IMO. P.S. - next week, it wouldn't surprise me that the ultimate betrayal hits Chip&Kim, maybe even boots them out of the race. And that will really upset me, bigtime!

One more thought...Chip doesn't even WAIT for people to ask!!! He just jumps in to show them, the minute the other teams even show a hint of puzzlement! Wonder how it feels at the latest pitstop, C/C have now won three (3!) trips now, including a nice leisurely trip to Europe. And a number of times, Chip's helpful tips have done plenty to keep C/C @ 1st place. Sorry, folks! End of rant.

It looks like Chip/Kim and the twins are driving down the same road about the same time to the ZORB ball. Next thing we know it is dark when the twins do the ball. Is is just editing to build up tension or does nightfall come quickly there?

I think it was editing Dog... it didn't even look like darkness was falling when Chip/Kim finished so I suspect twins actually took quite a bit of time to find their clue in the mud pit but TAR wanted to keep the suspense up and made it look like they were neck and neck.

Biscotti - I agree about Chip. I *love* that he's the type of man to help those around him but I don't want him giving the race to these people. I'm not sure if his helping C/C made a difference in the flights as they all still had to get their tickets at the airport (and they were all almost there when C/C got those tickets) for that second flight and that's where C/C managed to get ahead of Chip/Kim into the ticket office. Still, you never know what it would have changed. I also agree that I suspect Chip/Kim are the ones who will be betrayed... only because that is the only way the whole "betrayal" promotion makes sense. Why would the other teams consider it a betrayal? But to Chip and Kim, who have helped several of the teams along the way, that is exactly how it would feel. (Even though all's fair in TAR.)

I am hoping so bad it's not Chip/Kim that get betrayed. I would love for a team to do the yield to Colin and Christie. But I can only dream.

It will be a long shot if anyone gets ahead of Colin/Christie to do so, but you can bet if any one of them does they will be yielded. So much focus on Colins rude behavior could be a sign they do not win. TAR, thus far, has edited for the viewer to like the winner. I expect to see Team Jesus out next. Could be just wishful thinking but I can spin the editing to prove my point, in my own little head anyway. The Mom's won't make it far either. They are not being shown as much as other teams. This could be due to lack of material though.

I was really beginning to worry last night that the redemption of Colin had begun to prepare us for the win (Can't beleive they actually got footage of him saying he was wrong!) but then the previews show another tantrum so my hopes that he doesn't win the race have returned. That said, if C/C do win they will have deserved it for consistently finishing first even though almost every week something has brought all teams back even again. They are very competitive, although also very unlikable.

Fruitbat, I hope your thought about the editing meaning Colin doesn't win is true. However, if they were trying to edit to make us like Flo, all I can say is that she obviously made it impossible for them. Zach was likeable, though.

Okay, I just watched the episode and let me just say that I want to go to New Zealand and run those rapids and do that ZORB thing! That looked like SO much fun!!!! Nice to see the moms move up in the ranks and Chip and Kim make it. Yes, Chip's good guy personality needs to get adjusted a little bit or they're going to be in trouble. This episode, no one seemed to have a meltdown, including Colin and Christy. Nice to have a week off of the bickering. Next week, though, looks like it will make up for that!

I loved, loved, loved the tasks this episode - especially the sledging! I want to try that now! Linda & Karen - While I could understand why they were upset re: last week's taxi fare dispute, I thought they should've just paid the driver. In the past teams have hired taxis to follow and whether or not L\K meant to do that, their tagging along after the cab amounted to the same thing. I do have to admit that Linda's loud voice grated on my nerves enough that I was probably less sympathetic to her situation that I might have been otherwise. However this week they did great! Good for them. Chip & Kim: They're my favorite team too but Kim's "oh yes you ARE going to do the Roadblock" attitude bothered me. Even though they've done great so far with Chip performing almost every task. I think it was the twins who said Kim would never have gotten into the mud. Brandon & Nicole: It seems Brandon sometimes falters because his nerves get the better of him - especially when choosing which Detour to do. This team will probably need to take more risks if they hope to win. Kami & Karli: Well, I guess it was only a matter of time. Bye, twins. P.S.I simply don't like the idea of the Yield so I'll be disappointed in whichever team(s) uses it.

LOL - Re Colin "being wrong" I actually disagree that he was "wrong" in this case. LOL. I personally have a terrible sense of direction. Blindly following what someone else says will completely scramble what little I have. Just like Colin, I would have asked to look at the map to re-orient myself. It wouldn't be a matter of trust, it would just be a matter of understanding what is going on. I am not much of a Colin fan, but asking to look at a map isn't saying you don't trust someone, it is trying to work with them. IMO I can't even tell right from left unless I'm oriented - let alone north from south or east from west.

I wish that Charla and Mirna would still have been in it for last nights show. It would have been hysterical to see Charla in a Zorb ball...the producers would have had a blast with that.

as I was trying to wade thru spoilers, the one thing that was spoiled was this leg of the race - the spoiler mentioned that teams asked for directions and all were given wrong directions, except the Bowling moms!! Which kinda explains how they jumped in 2nd place... (and no other spoilers on who is elim. next week that I could find!)

Wouldn't that have been a Screaming Hoot!?! You KNOW Charla would have done it. (Maestro, Music here: "It's A Very Fine Place In The Zorbo-hood") Another thing... I've done a lot of White Water Rafting up here on many rivers in the Great Northwest, until a bunch of ear surgeries kept me out of the water. That sledging looks like an absolute B-L-A-S-T!! I felt so incredibly jealous, I have to tell you. The zorb ball looked really fun too actually! Would have been more fun to see the twins doing it together, like a pseudo in-utero kinda thang. Knocking their heads together down the long hill would truly give them an excuse for being "clueless" plus might work off some of that sibling rivalry, JMO.
