Brandon and Nicole have finally moved above Chip and Kim for me - getting a little tired of his sexism ("the moms can't do it!") and her general shiftlessness. I'd rather the teams thusly

Brandon and Nicole
Chip and Kim

I'd be happy enough with either of the two above teams winning.

Linda and Karen

Too shrieky and whiny, though I'll give them props for doing better than anyone (myself included) expected.

Colin and Christie

Yuck. I can survive them winning, but I sure won't be happy about it.

Linda & Karen and Chip & Kim and Brandon & Nicole

Right now I like these teams all fairly equally

Colin & Christie - I am liking them better today, but I think that's just because for once Colin's anger management problems were so darn funny! I can't totally dislike someone who made me laugh that hard!

Chip and Kim - Very likable. I wish Kim would step up a little more, but it's nice to see a team that is competitive, handles stress well, *and* enjoys the experience.

Linda and Karen - Obviously fatigue is catching up with them (making them slightly less likable), but I like that they try so hard and have come so far. I also like that they push themselves to do things they're not comfortable with...often "older" teams don't do that. I doubt that they'll win, but I wouldn't mind at all if they did.

Brandon and Nicole - I think I actually like them a *tiny* bit more than Linda and Karen. They seem to have a healthy relationship, and are reasonably good at keeping their cool (some slip-ups, but they try). Even though I like them as people, I'm ranking them a little lower on my list because I don't think they live up to their potential as racers. It doesn't mean as much to them as it does to the other teams, and they don't always give it their all. That's fine, but I'd rather see a team who really cares about the race win it...unless they're...

Colin and Christie! - Strong competitors, but not likeable at all. I don't think I need to even explain, since most people seem to agree. :-)

Well can you blame Colin for being upset?? First he gets yielded and then the other teams GO AND BREAK HIS DARN OX! (He is NEVER going to be able to live that one down.)

The frightening thing about Christie is that when she told the driver to run the people down, she seemed to really MEAN it. I'm surprised that extra 20 they popped him wasn't for being willing to mow someone down - but maybe they figured it might damage the cab or something...."yeah, it is awful how hitting those pedestrians will slow you down, Phil!"

However, I will say that I admire the gusto with which Colin approaches the physical challenges they have to do.

At this point, if anyone BUT Colin/Christie wins, I'll be happy. Each of the other three teams have certain characteristics I dislike (Linda's shrill screech; Brandon's "please God help her find the clue"; Kim's lack of participation). But as long as C/C don't win, I'll be happy.

I'd kinda like to see L/K win, if only because there hasn't been an older all-female team to win yet. I really don't like Linda much, but they have managed to conquer their fears and complete all the tasks in a relatively decent period of time. I'd also kinda like to see C/K win, because I think they've been playing a good game. They've had fun, and haven't done anything really nasty to anyone (and no, the Yield doesn't count, as it's part of the game). But Kim is mostly a bystander, having done what? One roadblock? B/N are probably the two I'd like least to win, if only because I really don't like how Brandon uses prayer in the game (come on, do you really think God is watching TAR? on second thought... maybe he's laughing as hard as we are at that poor "broken" ox!).

I'd like to say Chip and Kim to win, but if the previews are correct there's going to be another height related challenge. Poor Chip barely made it through the last one, and I don't forsee Kim doing it.

So, if I base it on that possible challenge:

Brandon/Nicole
Colin/Christie
Chip/Kim
Linda/Karen

Folks, we certainly don't keep spoiler posts out of the area where the show is being discussed. It is best to stay off the board completely until after you view the show in your area.

Thanks for understanding,
