Does anyone here check in the trunk of a cab for other people's stuff before they get in??

LOL - That Colin guy was whacked for screaming at them. Charla and Mirna didn't know about their stuff in the trunk. If they had explained it instead of straight attacking it would have gone better.

C/M saw C/C getting out of the cab (they were lurking waiting for someone to drive up so they could take the cab). They may have not noticed them not getting their backpacks out of the trunk but it would have been obvious once it was pointed out to them.

Let's face it - M/C weren't going to give up the cab easily and C/C weren't going to lose it because they hadn't paid the driver.

I cannot stand the C/M team. They seem rude and obnoxious. Lots of people were making excuses and saying that they liked Charla and it was just Mirna that was rude, but last night Charla showed that she was just as rude and obnoxious as Mirna and according to the previews for next week, things don't change.

We rewatched the previews several times (thank you TIVO) and it appeared that Chrisie BLOCKS the doors to an airport while waiting for COLIN.

Mirna tries to push her way in (saying move ) and charla tries to sneak underneath.

Then Colin comes up shoves everyone out of the way, sprints/vaults to the line.

IN that context, it was colin/christie who initiate a proplem. Myrna/Charla are simply reacting (but we'll need to see the full video)

Remember rich/chip from last year acted a lot like myrna/charla. They stand up for themselves, don't try to be friendly, and try to push any advantage they can--and they won.

I think Mirna's actions from the beginning of this race are the reason the other teams react to her the way they do. As someone said on another thread, she always plays the victim and she is always whining as to how another team did her wrong. Colin might be rude in how he reacts but I don't see where he instigates all of it. I think Mirna knows exactly what she's doing when she gets him ticked off. Granted I could be reading her completely wrong but I think with being a lawyer, she takes a certain pleasure in making men angry and then twisting it around to make it out as if they had instigated it.

I am not sure which brother has the bad knees, but I heard his say that he has inflamation beneath the knee caps. I have arititis in my knee caps and it came on very quickly. It is the most painful and debiliting thing I have every had to deal. I can hardly walk and am taking water arobics and on a strict diet to lose weight.

I have a lot of sympathy for him and a lot of respect for his brother for being so patient with him. When I saw that walk down into that pyramid, I just did not believe he would make it. I would have just sat down and cried. I think they are both troupers.

Yes, the brothers' final words were nice, instead of the ok brother being annoyed he thanked his brother for trying to keep in the race for him, in spite of being in pain. And he didn't rush him at all. They definitely went up in my estimation.

I agree about the brothers in that I think we saw a good side of both of them at the end. I really felt for the one who was in pain and I also really respected his brother for his patience with the situation.

I don't really care for the Colin/Kristy team or the Mirna/Charla team but I thought Mirna was spot on when she said Kristy is submissive to Colin. I hate the way he treats her.

On the other hand Chip and Kim show so much respect towards one another. I think they are very well suited and they seem to enjoy the race. I like the bowling moms too. I can't get a handle on the girl twins. Sometimes they seem clueless. My dh thinks that Brandon and Nicole are unevenly matched. He thinks Nicole is very different from Brandon...more willing to put her faith aside to do things than Brandon. Anyone else get that impression?

I agree on Brandon/Nicole...she seems more focused on the game than on representing her faith.

And it was lovely when Kim felt so proud of her success in doing one of the tasks. She wants to be a full partner in this process and that is really cool.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Chip & Kim! I just love the way they were enjoying being on the Nile and next week when they are surrounded by other people of color and feel so at home. They always seem so kind and respectful of everyone else (most of the time, anyway). I'll be very sad if they get Philiminated.

Anybody else notice that Mirna didn't try to hug Phil at the Pit Stop this week? Wonder if one of the producers told her to knock it off? Maybe she didn't want to hug him with her "goat hands"!
