The roadblock clues always stymie me. I never know which is the better option until after they actually start the tasks. This time is was obvious to me that carrying the roof was better. You have eight men to help you - you can't beat that. 2/3 of a mile isn't far either. Compared to waddling an entire wall - with only your hands?!?!?

Is it just me or are Kris and Jon flying really low under the radar? I feel like I know very little about them and don't see much of them during the shows. Have I been blinking too much?

I think what happened to Adam was too much help from the locals. He messed up (like Lori did earlier) by coming out of the church to look for the worshipers. But I think the local kids who had helped the prior teams go to the pitstop location were there when he asked for help. He had a bunch of kids helping/leading him. If they had helped the earlier teams to the pit stop, when he asked for help they would have led him there too. That is how Freddy and Kendra caught up..... he walked all the way to the pit stop and then back while they were waiting at the yield. LOL And I was so praying that J/V would not realize that they needed two donkeys!!! And how dead are Adam and Rebecca now that they used the yield- to no earthly good either. Too funny. This was definitely my favorite episode so far this year!! Re Kris/Jon.... I think they are just too nice to have gotten much attention so far due to the shrieking of Johnathon and Victoria. Maybe they'll get some air time now that they are gone.... yay, doing the happy dance at that statement.... I just have to say it again... THEY ARE GONE!!! WOOOO HOOOOOO!

OMG, one of the channels that airs the show here is airing it an hour later for some reason. ANYWAYS, I just got to the part where Victoria is crying/screaming while making huts. SHUT UP GIRL!!! I had to turn the volume down, but it didn't do much. God her voice is AWFUL.

Ding, Dong, the epitome of the Ugly American Traveling Couple is GONE! I was cheering so much, my cat got scared. LOL In the early shows, I thought Jonathan was acting absolutely terrible toward Victoria, but as time went by, it seemed she gave as much as she got. Either way, both acted like whiny, spoiled, brats with a superiority complex. I won't miss them a bit. Now I just need to decide if I like any of the remaining teams enough to root for them.

I agree Max, I no longer feel sorry for Victoria, she's as much a drama queen as her hubby. I'd like to see Freddy and Kendra go next. Can she be more obnoxious? I want to root for Kris and Jon? the long distance dating couple, but they don't seem to be playing the game, it's just seems too casual, and you can't win like that. As for Rebecca and Adam, what were they thinking??? Yielding Freddy and Kendra because Jonathon told them too?? Lori and Bolo are redeeming themselves to me. Anyone winning as long as it's not Freddy and Kendra are ok w/ me.

Since my new VCR tape gave up recording halfway through this episode, and I didn't notice, because I was watching Carnivale on a non-recordable channel, I had to come and see what happened and who left. I can't believe my prayers have been answered, because Jonathon and Victoria are the worst pair on any TAR so far, so Hallelujah!!!! And thank you very much for the great spoiling, and for the succinct remarks from everyone, I feel as if I saw the whole thing!

Quick recap of J/V on the early show this morning; tried to get it down as they talked, (and baby aware is hollering) so it has to be short; this is the gist of what they said tho First showed J pushing V at Brandenburg gate as introduction of upcoming segment; Harry Smith introduced them as most controversial reality couple on tv; showed clip from last night of J talking to the guide in the van, yelling at V when she interrupted, V cutting hand and screaming, getting to the farmer with one donkey and J yelling at V Harry Smith: First off, you watched all of this unfolding on television, is there any way to explain your behavior? It was appalling, disturbing for viewers to watch. J: not happy with what I have seen of myself on tv; I’m a very competitive person, I see that person on tv and don’t know him; that is a component of myself that exists, I’ve tried to make adjustments after watching H: Victoria, have you seen this side of J before? V: he’s always very intense, he was very serious about winning and it took over; we took ourselves way to seriously H: asked about the push J: no excuse, it was wrong, we had agreed to drop our bags at that point and I didn’t realize she picked it up; when I saw her carrying it I got so upset, I was so competitive; I was like a boxer getting in the ring- very focused on the moment (OMG what an analogy!!); I regret every moment, have apologized to V; "I went in to do that, it just got away from me" (this seemed to be the only veiled reference to his "persona" excuse, but he never really said more than that) H: asked about V getting cut, J not doing anything V: there were nails in the carrier; Freddy got cut too, I hadn’t slept at all, could tell this was the last task and down to the wire with Freddy and Kendra; I was "out of my tree at this point" J: We are big fans of the race, the spirit of the race got away from us H: J, the person you love is in pain and you can’t stop too see if she’s ok or say anything? V: Freddy cut himself too, I told J to keep going, they cut that part out, H: Have you had conversations at home while watching the show? V: We have been watching it and seeing things that happened, we both definitely have two stories, we have talked about it H: Is there peace in your relationship? V: definitely; we have learned a lot about ourselves, it’s hard to see yourself in the worst possible light J: we want to be better people, we are working on being a better couple V: Believe it or not, there were many moments when we had a good time J:They just didn’t show it Commerical cuts in at this point, out of time; no wrap up by Harry Smith or anyone, end of segment

Harry Smith introduced them as most controversial reality couple on tv; I bet Jonathon just LOVED that. While I hope these two are being genuine, I have my doubts based on things they have written on their Web site. I think this was all about damage control because Jonathon realized how much this supposed "role" he played was going to causes problems for his career. Let's hope we have seen/heard the last of these two.

Ya, they've already rolled through the top 3 reality excuses for bad behaviour and I guess they realized no one was buying it. (Editing, medication and I was just playing a character) Now they're trying the spin "I'm just so competitive and I let it get away from me" Like Kris and Jon aren't competitive? Competitive doesn't have to be synonymous with "unbearably bad behaviour"

A Farewell Ode to Jonathan and Victoria Jonathan and Victoria, what can I say? You turned the whole race into disarray. Jonathan, you screamed and abused your wife. Victoria, your screeching voice cuts like a knife. With your constant bickering, you hurt international relations. But now that you're gone, I feel nothing but elation. You gave Americans such a bad name. But now that you're gone, maybe Jon and Chris can win the game. It's we, the Viewers, who had to watch you, suffer, and pay. And let's face it, Jonathan, we all know you're gay You 2 even made Phil Keoghan act a little edgy! Hallelujah, you're gone. Now let's get rid of Kendra and Freddy!!!} written by Immunity_Man

Did anyone see the smirk on Phil's face when J & V were approaching the pit stop. It looked like he was having trouble containing his glee. This is my third TAR. After each team is eliminated, they talk about the special relationship they have with each other and what a great person their partner is. Not Jon. He has to give some lame motivational speech. Thank you Jon & Victoria for being true <RA> to the end. I will not miss you.

It's hard for me to take Jonanthan's comments on The Early Show seriously. They've put out so many excuses for his behavior. Now that he is owning up to his actions (more or less) it just seems like they've spoken to a media expert. I'm still just very thankful these two are gone. I hope CBS will not cast folks like this in the future. Jon/Vic went on this show as a publicity stunt for Jon's business - that is just icky to me.

very good Immunity. Finally someone called behavior on a reality show appalling and made them answerable. I am glad they are gone.

Now I'm sorry I missed them this morning, but after last night, I wasn't in the mood for any more lame excuses. I have a question. Weren't Adam & Rebecca one of the first teams done with raise the roof? How did they end up as the third from last team to arrive at the church? Did they get lost?

Ark: At first they had a really hard time getting their donkeys to move. And then, when they made it to the church, Adam went the wrong way and it took him awhile to get down to the area where the worshippers were.

Weren't Adam and Rebecca the ones who had the run in at the airport, They were wearing sweatshirts with hoods. He looked to me like he was ready to grab her throat when he was telling her to move over. I thought he was scary and that put him on my list. Seems to me we have these borderline abusive men on this years show which we didnt have before.

and I'm a little relieved that the ratings didn't suffer too badly, despite the AI juggernaut. The ep was a solid 2nd place, and the rating was only a little lower than normal....
