I've kinda taking a liking to the Disalvatores, especially the boys, they seem smarter than their parents,lol. They make me laugh with what they argue about and the way they argue. Silvio didn't want his wife going up in the hot air balloon because he was too scared to do it. So glad the Montgomery's didn't go home as they are one of my favs. What the heck, I like them all.

I'm getting a big kick out of the DiSalvatores, too.

Mrs. Pollard did applaud but it wasn't genuine ;).

No, but as I said, she did get some points for recognizing the awkward situation and at least faking the clapping. Unlike some of the others who just stood there.

Lilfair, you think having a client that acts like Silvio is bad, try having a brother-in-law that acts like him, he can get on your last nerve, but we tolerate him cause he's family.

I am rooting for the DiSalvatores. I think this road trip is good for them. I think the parents have done a good job with the kids.

Did anyone else watch? Twig - your DiSalvatoes were dead last in the 1st challenge & went to the "end of the road challenge". They actually came in 1st on this challenge & the Montgomery family went home.

Oh crumb. Another of my fave families went home? So now it's two families I don't really like, and one family I do. I'm gonna keep rooting for a Coote win! BTW, who won King of The Road this time?

We haven't watched but I taped it and we will be watching shortly. We get a real laugh out of this show. It reminds us of the movie "Vacation". It's also nice to see the families and the U.S.

BTW, who won King of The Road this time? Take a wild guess, Costa. A really wild, wild guess. LOL The same family that wins every week. I can't figure out how they win everything. I am pulling for the DiSalvatores, too. The Cootes are just too arrogant for my liking. I liked the Montgomerys, but now they're out. It was fun to see how thrilled they all were to see the Grand Canyon. I've only been there once, but it was so incredible to see.

Seeing the Grand Canyon is an humbling experience! I was sorry to see the Montgomerys go home though -

I don't see the Cootes as being arrogant at all. I do think they work well together as a family and that's why they've been winning the challenges. I'm really not a fan of the Pollards any more. I understand it can be demoralizing to never win, but it's not supposed to be about winning. These people are getting the vacation of their lifetimes, all expenses paid, and they pull the pouty act for not winning? The mom drives me nuts.

I like the Coote's. They can't help but be happy they won. And they aren't showing us being arrogant about it. The GC is awesome. I'm glad they all were able to take the canyon in either by foot or helicopter. They are making family memories of a life time. I so can not understand the hostility towards the Cootes. It's not worth the jealousy because it taints their experience and isn't teaching the kids to appreciate the entire experience. This would be a perfect time to show your kids how to enjoy what life has to offer, winning isn't always everything.

My favorites are gone. Each of the remaining families has one person I dislike. It's hard to choose which I'd want to win so I guess I'll just have to watch and not care who wins, the same way I'm watching US Big Brother.

I think they are all having a lot of fun but they all want to win, the Cootes and the Pollards seem to want it more than the other families. I can understand how some might think the Cootes are arrogant, for me, it's just the mom. She is all about the win, same as the Pollard mom. I want the DiSalvatores to win!

I still don't like the DiSalvatores, but I must admit it was nice to see Silvio actually doing something for a change.

I think if I were in this race I would be a little miffed that the Cootes were winning so much. It's just human nature to be disappointed when you try to win so hard and another team wins with what seems like no effort. At the same time I would realize the trip is the experience of a lifetime. And the other teams realize this too. They have mentioned how much fun they are having and the beauty of each state they have had the opportunity to drive through. The Pollards and the DiSalvatores make me laugh. The Cootes don't.

Losing is part of life, it's how you lose that talks to your character. I play a lot of poker and if I focused on the fact that others may keep winning, well, it does nothing for my game. I also play co-ed softball I don't understand the mindset of feeling miffed at your opponent. It would serve the losing families well to put it behind them and concentrate on the next task. Not only that but pouting takes away from the experience/vacation. I like the show and would like to see other families win but that is not what is happening.....stop the whining and continue on enjoying the trip.

Well said, Lil! I think that's why I'm not a fan of the Pollards... they seem to dwell on the losing bits. And yeah, while they do ooh and aah over the cool stuff they are seeing, the confessionals where they are constantly griping about the Cootes winning gets old real fast.

Silvio has definitely won a place in my heart. And believe me, at the start I'd never believe he could. I also loved his wife when in her NY accent tried to talk with a redneck accent. Absolutely cracked me up last night. So - although I never believed I'd say this - GO TEAM DISALVATORES!!!!!

Yay Disalvatores!!! I don't dislike the Cootes, but I think things come easy for them. A family like the Disalvatores are really trying. It has been fun watching them with open wonder at what they are seeing.

That was too weird. Traffic's backed up for the Cootes, but suddenly runs smoothly for the Pollards? Or did one driver know a shortcut? And why were the Pollards talking about Mandalay Bay even before they got that clue? They were surrounded by hotels and yet Mandalay Bay just happened to catch their eye. Hmm... Well, it's nice to see that the Pollards were more gracious at winning than they were at losing. For a minute I thought the Coote parents were going to leave their kids to sulk in the RV and join the others in the hotel. Those kids needed that lesson, especially the boy.
