Team Guido is truly getting on my nerves. My kids have defining terms for all the teams. Guido is called the "We hate them" team. Ami and Paul are called "Whiny and Quitter", Lenny and Karyn are called "you know, the team with the stupid guy", Frank and Marguerite is the team with the "mean man", Nancy and Emily are "the mother and daughter and we like them" (courtesy of my daughter), Rob and Brennon are "the lawyers and I hope they beat Guido", and Drew and Kevin are "the NY guys who use curse words but are really funny".

I still like Rob's name for Guido = Bert and Ernie. For as truly irritating as these two are they have proven that they definitely are a tough team to beat. Their attitude is a bit over the top but it looks like Bert and Ernie are going to make this contest very interesting. I've found my favorites after tonight and that is the frat brothers AKA the Blues Brothers :)

Bert and Ernie is a much better name, Guido in NY would describe a couple of Italian guys from Brooklyn with gold chains and a Camaro. I was so confused by two gay guys that deffinatly were not Italian or from Brooklyn, having that name.

I just wish the frat boys would set them straight about the name "Guido". and then just take the mom and daughter to the end and leave Guido in the dust.

just once I want to see them squirm. they really annoy the heck out of me.

just once I want to see

Well, in defense of TG (sort of), I think they are definitely being edited to be the "bad guys". But of course, editing doesn't force them to be so smarmy; I just wonder if other teams act obnoxious too but it's not part of the "storyline".

I was particularly annoyed with the speech one of them (I still don't know which is which; come to think of it, I don't know which is which with Drew & Kevin or Rob & Brendan either. Weird.) made directly to the camera last night to the effect that they were manipulating and controlling the other teams. This is when they insisted on buying the tickets for everyone. Excuse me, you were ANNOYING the other teams; was that part of the plan to control them? They are so full of themselves...

You know what, I just realized I don't know which is which on those teams either :)

Did anyone notice their start-time was more than 45 mins after team 1 & 2? Makes me think that not only were they over-confident about getting third, but they stopped for sight-seeing or dinner before showing up.. How else would they lose 45 mins on a trip that was supposed to take less than an hour? I guess they could have gotten lost, but given their knowledge of France, that seems unlikely.. Also, It was interesting to note that the guys with the Fast Forward only got a 15 min advantage.. they must have been on the same train, but got special transportation to the top or something.. Feel bad they used their FF without gaining an edge..

yes Espen, I noticed. I could not believe guido got there first. I also thought the train was faster then the cab and I thought they took the cab. Did they take the train? just once I want to see them sweat! they cant win, that would make me nuts. Good must prevail in this show, we have lost the grandparents, we need to keep the frat boys or mom and kid in the show. they are just nice!

Did anyone else catch one of them (also don't know which is which - but I think it's the one who looks like Jerry Springer, as opposed to the one with the hairpiece and the strange eyes) telling the cab driver to run over Amie and Paul (I think it was them), who were standing in the square and thanking the kids who helped them? Somebody should slap them.

Are they refering to the Frat Boys as the "Fatties" or the "Fratties?" My closed captioning says "Fatties." I know they are arrogant you know whats...But really! If they are this crass (and its showing that they are), I'll be dancing in the streets when they are eliminated.

It really was priceless to see the look on their face when they found out they weren't first! Just wait for the look on their face when they are last. How fun will that be?

Yep, Joe (I think) looked pretty annoyed when he realized they weren't first. :) And did anyone else notice that they didn't greet ANYONE who arrived at the end? Even Amie and Paul, who everyone else was worried about. The frat brothers arrived considerably before Team Guido, but they waited with everyone else to see if they were okay.

And was it my imagination, or did Team Guido refer to the frat brothers as "the fatties" several times in this episode? If so - really not very nice. "Bert and Ernie" is a cute, teasing name. But "fatties"? I was hoping that Guido just had a problem with Frank/Margarita and the lawyers. Apparently they just dislike everyone.

Edited to say Whoami beat me to it - guess it WAS "fatties". Lovely. Especially since they chose to use it several times. I hope Rosie O'Donnell calls them on it. :)

They did say "Fatties" I thought they said fratties too,but my husband said ,no they said fatties.
I went to the CBS website which has that popularity scale. They have a rating of 31% popularity,lower than the first couple kicked off!

to add my two cents, i also dislike team guido. they think they are so superior just because they lived in paris for 5 years. and i don't like the way that they try to sabotage everyone. and i also love the look on their faces when they find out that they aren't first. hopefully next week will be their last.

Fatties

Well, then I guess they are the Faggies, right?

No, I am not prejudice. My sister is gay. These edited give the gay community a bad name. When a group of gay men forced my mom out of her workplace (after she had been there over 18 years) to replace her with "one of their own," my sister said she was going to tell them, "I've met a lot of gay men in my life. But you sir are a F*G!" It's edited like those my mom worked with, and these Guido creeps that make it hard on the REAL Gay communitiy.

Deeeep Breathhhhh. Can you tell this is a sore subject for me?

Im not even going to get started on the fattie thing, these guys are just creeps. I can only hope that next week is their week to "Meet with Phil." It was nice after they were wondering what happend to Rob & Brennen that they went from 7th to 4th.

Arrogance is ok in small doses, and I do realize this is a game, but there is just no excuse for intentional rudeness.

May karma bite Team Guido in the *ss (and soon!)

I thought they said "fratties" but then I heard them say it again and I realized that they had said "fatties". Geezzz, Bert & Ernie are real matching charmers!!

BTW, I LOVED it when Kevin & Drew fooled Bert & Ernie by climbing on the rooftops!! LOL!!

They did say "FATTIES'. I watched it twice, CT and PST (DSS west Coast feed) Boy, they have their nerve. Don't they know they are being filmed as they are being AH's?

<<May karma bite Team Guido in the *ss (and soon!) >>

I'm hoping so too. Wouldn't it be great if there was a situation where the other teams made sure they came in last? This isn't possible in every competition, but if they had another similar to the Notre Dame one, where one team could help another out, it would be great. Of course, for that to work, TG would have to already be at the back of the pack, and they seem to stay pretty much up front.

Still, a girl can dream...

It looks bad for next week. Like Team Guido pulls ahead by pulling some underhanding stunt.

You know, I don't think Team Guido necessarily have to act a certain way just to represent the gay community. They're individuals, and shouldn't be expected to act (or not act) any certain way. But their hypocrisy bugs me. They told Rob and Brennan that they *wanted* to help break stereotypes by not appearing conniving, bitchy, etc. But they almost immediately start doing the exact opposite. So I think they failed in that particular mission. If they don't win they're going to be awfully disappointed. Not only did they come across *really* badly on the show, they also lost. And they don't even seem to be having that much fun lately.

Oh, I do so hope they lose.

Hey Guinevere, great idea, group sabotauge (sp?)- Guido has alienated just about everybody, it would be so cool to see them gang up just once to get rid of them- it wouldn't hurt any other team, and the payback would be soooo sweet.

Like Krista says, "PB, baby!"

These guys really piss me off. Everytime they do something especially heinous(like calling Kevin & Drew fatties) I find myself declaring Bunky would never say anything like that. These guys are edited with a capital J.

Well I posted earlier if anyone else heard guido call kevin and drew the fatties and I gues it's true. Talk about losing sight of your goal and revealing just how pathetic of a soul you posess.

I'm with the others here who think it would be cool to see them all work to try and eliminate them. Someone mentioned that this would be hard since they are so far ahead. It looked like they all pretty much end up even at some point next week so there is that open door. If they win this thing I'm gonna hock! Is Richard Hatch a cousin of theirs?
