Agreed, Tabby. I like these two and think they're strong competitors. But they once again had to remind us of the fact that they are "married to professional athletes." Isn't this the very image that they want to change? Why remind us of it so often? And for some reason, if they must continue to use this phrase, I'd prefer them to simply say they're married to "NFL players." Not sure why.

I suspect that the teams are prompted to repeat their "story" each episode. I noticed that Josh AGAIN mentioned how he and his dad have never gotten along tonight..

So I'm giving them all a pass on that annoying thing.

I love these two, they are my favorite team! Great job at finishing first out of the non-FF pack. did you notice they all got off the train at the same time, yet Monica and Sheree outran everybody, even the uber-athletic Reichen and Chip?

I really like this team, but I can't figure out which one is Monica and which one is Sheree. My only criticism of them was when they once again reminded everyone what it's like to be "married to a professional athlete". Enough already!

I like them alot. Didn't care for the whining in the car line but I understand.

Anyway they are still at the top of my list and I hope they win.

I totally agree on the NFL connection comments. One of the 2 mentioned that as NFL wives they are taken care of when it comes to travel..........<rolling my eyes> These ladies better remember that post NFL life won't be the same. Otherwise they seem down to earth and quite likeable.

My favorite team. I don't really know which is which either, I think they look like they could be sisters. It doesn't help that they are approximately the same height and have their hair in pretty much the same way. Then there's the matter of the matching coats...

I think this team rocks. I'm glad to see them doing so well. As far as the football wives comment, I think this comment was taken from a pre-race interview and spliced in. Just like the comments Steve (or Dave) made about how they are not the fastest, but they need to be the smartest, were clearly made before the race began and inserted. I think the producers are trying to tell each team's story and like to remind us of it. In this case, probably a little too much. Everyone knows they are the football wives.

I have been very impressed with these two. You would think that as women married to million dollar athletes that they would be used to being pampered and having everything done for them. I think it's great that they seem to be normal competitive people just like everyone else. They seem very athletic but I like that they don't put on this whole superwoman vibe - they get scared of the car racing and the rappelling just like everyone else.

Go Monica and Sheree!

Crazy, I agree that some of the comments seem to be pretaped. I always think however that most of them are made after they've already arrived at that week's pitstop. Sometimes you can get a sense of whether or not the team was eliminated. In this week's "married" comment, didn't they also mention something about the car racing and how her head was pushed back and her arm almost came out? Sounds like it was taped after the leg, so I think it is once again another mention of their professional wives status.

Nevertheless, this annoying tidbit does not detract me from really liking them. Wish I could tell who's who! (A problem I'm having with all of the same sex teams with the exception of Tian and Jaree. Reichen/Chip, Air Traffic guys, Clowns, bland and almost invisible David/Jeff)

I'm still impressed that you can distinguish Tian and Jaree, because I cannot.

Chip = darker haired, Reichen = more blondish
Air Traffic: Steve = white hair, Dave = the other one
Clowns: no clue
Dave and Jeff: Jeff= darker haired shorter one, Dave = blonder, goatee guy

What I liked about these two was seeing them pray together before they went down the cliff on a rope. I think they are firmly grounded. IHMO

I agree with you Auntiemike, they do appear to be firmly grounded...I liked the prayer too.

These two are running a good race. Sure they've made an error or two, but you don't catch them bickering with each other like so many of the other teams.

The "We're NFL Wives" doesn't bother me near as much it does some of you. Like someone else said, they have a story to tell and that's part of it. They are not used to having to make travel plans for themselves, why...because as NFL wives they have all of that done for them. They are proving to themselves if no one else that they can do for themselves and I have no problem with that.

Other teams have stories to tell also, and we hear about those stories every week too. Those don't bother me either. It's part of the game, always has been.

GO SUPREMES...NFL WIVES...MONICA and SHEREE!!!!

Thought it was over for them when they got stuck in the mud. Reminded me of when the twins from TAR 2 got stuck in the desert sand. How lucky it must have been for them to find that truck to tow them. I kept waiting for the "if our professional athlete husbands would have been here, they would have pushed us out of the mud with their left hands behind their backs" comment, but alas, not to be heard.

I still like this team, and am glad that they survived to race again another week.

I like them too...quess it just goes to show you that two women can work together, and not kill each other. I keep thinking of my very best girlfriend...we've been friends for years....but I know that I would have let her have it big time by now...

They were great this week. I loved Sheree's reaction to grabbing the eels (the guy counting said "just close your eyes") and how Monica looked while watching her friend. Also loved whichever one of them said she would never complain about changing a diaper again.

Once the editors stopped airing every single time they mentioned their husbands, M&S became one of my fav racers this time, too.

they were 2 classy ladies! I do not think they ever complained. They played very well and respected each other at all times. Good luck to you two and I will miss you!

Kudos to two classy women!!!!!

I was really proud of them and I'm going to miss
The Supremes, who lived up to their nickname.

They have every reason to be proud.
