ITA agree Countrydaze. I liked the Pollard fam, but it was not necessary to diss the Faverly's like that - they worked hard, and earned it. Mrs. Pollard, after all, had to do nothing this week to secure her family's place in the game.
That said, I am disappointed mostly because I have liked the Pollard's to date.

I'm bummed, too! I really liked the Rico family and especially the little boy who was loving having an "older brother" with the teen in the other family.

Yep, I had the same reaction to the Pollard Mom tonight. And to have her family put only two family names on those shirts to root for just made it worse because she brings the kids into it.

Other then that, I am loving the places they're visiting! This makes me want to take a road trip on Route 66 and I honestly never wanted to before.

I missed the show tonight - taping at 8 instead of 7, but I look forward to seeing a re-run. We live in such a beautiful and diverse country that I am glad to have a chance to visit where I HAVE been and see where I HAVEN'T!

I've always wished I could go on a road trip all around the US. I've been to most states on the east side of the country but not much anywhere else. Just once when hubby and I went to Vegas and Reno, that's the only time I've been on the west side of the country. There are places I've wanted to go all my life like Yellowstone. I'm hoping that we can go there one of these days.

The Desalvatores are proof of what Jeff Foxworthy says: There are rednecks everywhere, not just in the South.

I perked up my ears when I heard they were going to Laura Ingalls "Little House" in Kansas, but disappointed they just barely showed the place--said something about the schoolroom, brief glimpse inside, then more talking about shooting racoon, etc. Didn't really enjoy or get sense of whether I would want to visit in person.

Kind of tuned it out again until final challenges. Still don't understand how that last family did it so fast. Disappointed in result.

Ks, James Carville said something about that, too. In PA you got Phillie on one side and Pittsburgh on the other side and Alabama in the middle. LOL

Would somebody please drive that southern family woman to a drugstore that has some current magazines and make-up for her to buy? That frosted lip gloss and her "generous" hand with all the other make-up drives me to distraction. She must think it is pretty. I also think she behaved poorly this week, bad sportsmanship.

Mr. Disalvatore is surprising me. His comment about wanting his family to be proud made me smile. I still think there's more to him than meets the eye.

Anyone else watch this? I'm perfectly fine with the family that went home. My heart felt for the Mom though because she took it so hard. I actually only disliked this team because of one of the family members and I wanted to paddle that person every time they opened their mouth.

Yay! The Favereys are gone! I just didn't like them very much. Now I'm ok with whoever wins, I think.

The DiSalvatores can go and then I'd probably be OK with whoever wins.

I'm glad the Favereys are gone, though. I still think the daughter is a brat. The stomp-crossed-arms-I'm-not-HAPPY crap she pulled is b-s.

Hmm... actually, I like the Cootes and the Montgomerys. Either one could win and I'd be fine.

I'm guessing when the Favereys daughter sees herself on the TV she might gain some insight, one can hope.

I'm hoping when the Favereys MOTHER sees her kid AND herself on TV, SHE might gain some insight! Because if I were a mother, there is no way any kid of mine would pull tantrums while cameras were on us! Seriously.

I think the entire family will learn something by watching themselves on tv.

They sure do show alot of the Pollard mom. Please do not let that be a sign that they win. I would love for the Montgomerys or the Cootes to win.

Did anyone else notice the purple hairbrush in Silvio's back pocket? I couldn't stop giggling over that.

I am really enjoying this show. They are visiting lots of places where I have been and bringing back good memories!

I am tryng to figure out the secret to the Cootes continued successes because all of the families seem to work well together! Anybody got ideas?

Once again the Faverey daughter had a temper tantrum. On that basis alone, I'm glad they were kicked off. And I dunno about it, but I had a feeling they were really sore losers. Good riddance.

I think the Cootes actually work well together, where the others (except maybe the Montgomerys) seem to act like they do but they don't really. The Cootes seem to plan and then for the most part follow the plan.

I had to laugh at the "shopping trip." Oh boy! A shopping trip. In a souvenir store. Oh boy! (Yeah, OK, I'll admit it, I'm a snob!)

The Pollard mom seems to really dislike the Cootes for winning. I don't like her at all because of her attitude. Sorta nice to your face but all nasty behind your back.

It's a fun show but I wish they had cast it better.

I'm afraid that the Cootes will falter next week and end up in the bottom 3 and loose the end of the road challenge and that would suck because they work so well together unlike the other families.

All in all it's an easy way to kill an hour after a long day at work.

Oh, I have a client that looks, acts and sounds just like Silvio. So I asked him last week if he was related to Disalvatore's and he said no. I then asked if he was adopted and he said no. LOL. He's now curious about the show. I wonder if he watched last night (he said he would) and I wonder if he'll see the similarities himself.

But the Pollard mom at least gets points for recognizing the awkward silence and starting to applaud the Cootes for winning.

She does seem to have a jones on for them winning all the time, though. Sorta negates the whole "it's not the winning, it's the journey" that they were told at the beginning.
