These two have managed to alienate themselves from all other teams,wonder if it will come back to bite them in the end....

I liked Team Guido a lot until tonight. They warmed my heart at the beginning of tonight's episode the way they had so much fun together all night in Paris, but then they spent all the next day exuding a smallness of spirit that doesn't sit well with me. I know it's a competition, but I think they could lighten up a bit. Maybe they will in the next episode?

The Lawyer dudes cracked me up when they called them "Bert & Ernie"

That is the perfect name for them - or should I say the parfeit name?

For some reason I find these guys funny, they never fail to give me a chuckle or two. And all of the other players are finding out that those two can't be trusted. Paul tickle me when he was telling the others "I told you they can't be trusted!" Which I believe is going to cost Team Guido.

These guys were driving me crazy! LMAO at "Bert and Ernie"! That was a great line! They were funny, though, drinking tea while everyone else was sleeping out in the rain!

Me, I would have gone for a place that had Minitels. I would be spending any and all time that I wasn't sleeping researching and talking to people, learning about where I was. And I would never take the word of one person as to where something was. :)

How many times have they mentioned that they lived in France for two years? I guess some of that famed rudeness rubbed off.
Still the people in the streets were very nice...(of course they may have noticed the camera person was doing a close up)

Well, having been to France several times, I'd have to say that the ordinary people are usually very sweet and nice, but any kind of authority figure (police, government officials) tended to be very pompous, arrogant, and rude.

These guys are really rude and have a better than thou additude. i am hoping the others get to see them do something stupid, so they can at least have a good laugh at thier expense.

At first I liked their attitude, but I agree, they have now become arrogant and somewhat condescending to their competitors.. It could be because they feel they "know" france, and are maybe taking on some of the attitude they might have had when living there.. Hopefully they will become less abrasive when they are back in countries they don't know as well.. If not, I am the first to wish them gone.. But on a side note, I'll still take *any* of the teams from this show over *any* of the teams on "Lost".

Can someone tell me why they call themselves "Team Guido"?

Guido is apparently the name of their dog.

I too was ROTFL at Rob's "Bert and Ernie" comment. I like those lawyers even more now!

I have disliked Guido ever since they appeared in their matching attire, and my opinion of them has steadily declined. Sure, there's something to be said about being competitive (which they clearly are), but there's absolutlely no reason why they have to be so condescending.

The part that I don't understand is that the CBS website said they spent the night in one of their favorite hotels. It also said that Nancy and Emily stayed at the previous night's lodgings. Everyone else slept on the street. Now I'm assuming that Nancy and Emily stayed for free at the official race checkpoint, but where are Bert and Ernie getting the money to stay in a different hotel? I thought everyone was on a limited budget and rooms in Paris are not cheap.

I hope that at some point during the race there is a task that requires four people to complete and no team wants to pair up with Guido!

In the last episode - Bert & Ernie were at a counter (can't remember what they were doing) but did anyone else catch the look on the clerks face???!
He was like 'are these two for real?' It was sooo funny. THose matching outfits make it worse, too.

Now I want to go check official site about the hotel business- because I remember Emily & Namcy saying 'why didn't you go to the hotel?'. Amie said "What hotel?" So if there was one set up for them- I am wondering why all of them were not aware of it...
Not that it would have mattered to Amie-she wouldn't budge! LOL

did anyone else notice how they came into their last checkpoint without any luggage? All other contestants had their backpacks with them. Did they leave them behind to pick them up later on that night?

Yes, I too wondered what the huge backpacks had that couldn't be left some where. Some are NOT traveling light for sure. Kayrn (wife/lawyer/nag)
had a really heavy looking one.

Karyn is just Lenny's girlfriend. If they win she said he has to marry her. I hope for his sake they don't win. He may be a little simple minded but no one deserves her abuse.

I don't care for Team Guido either! They turned me off at the beginning with their matching clothes, which I tried to overlook; but their attitude is just too much. I realize that a team must be competitive to win, but their treatment of the other teams is just plain rude. I hope it comes back to haunt them in the near future.

Count me in on the "I dont like Team Guido bandwagon." After they cut in line at the Pantheon they decided to "be nice" at the train station and help the "Underdogs"...yeah help them towards the wrong train. Thankfully they caught the mistake and got on the right train. Team Guido are a bunch of meanies. Time to leave France where they are "comfortable" and go someplace where I hope they slip ever farther down than 4th! That was a priceless look on their faces when the Mayor said 4th.

I didn't get the name Team Guido for them, thanks for clearing that up.

However, who names their dog Guido? I have never heard that name for a dog. "Here Guido. Guido, where are you?" Nope. Doesn't work, people would think you're calling out for a human.

I was, and still am, confusedabout the luggage aspect and the fact that there was a hotel that the others never knew about also.

In California, seemingly the home of slang, we used to call guys who thought they were slick Guidos. You know the ones with all the lines, the gold chains, etc. (i.e. Like, Oh My God! Did you like totally check that Guido gooning you?)
