LOL, a little angry might be an understatement. Izzy is going to WAR.

I am more than a little bit angry.
And that sled competition was sort of slanted for heavier bodies on the sleds not to mention the two all female teams being u turned. And the guys now targeting Taylor's team.
Even less of a fan of the u turners this week.

Same Seamonkey.
I was sad to see hannah and her sister get eliminated. I with it had been one of the double-boy teams but oh well.
I don't remember Hannah and her sister explaining why they didn't grow up together. Anyone remember?

I never liked Jag and after last nite cant stand him at all!!! Also Kyland and Tay gave them express pass and they threw them under the bus. Joesph went way down in my book as well. Tucker continues to entertain me!
It was heart wrenching watching how hard all the girls were trying. I loved them supporting each other.
I like all the teams except for Jag

I’m not liking Jag’s team much either. They always seem to have to have a target.

Agree with everything said already. I liked Jag in the beginning but am no longer rooting for him. He is playing way too hard and I am over the "let's go!". It's not a soccer game. No one needed to u-turn anyone at this point, especially a team holding an express pass in their pocket. It just creates so much negativity.
I couldn't stand Izzy on BB but she grew on me this week. Without Cirie there, I'm liking her and her wife together.
At this point, I'm rooting for Tucker and his brother and Natalie and her sister.

Amazing that both U-turned teams survived.

It seemed the girls doing the sled were at a huge advantage because of lesser body weight.
I am really liking Paige (Izzy's fiancee, don't think they are married yet). She is a natural for almost all the tasks and very good about maintaining her cool under pressure. I would not mind seeing her compete again, either with Izzy or another relative, like a brother maybe.

Kappy, I agree about Izzy. I am really loving her and her fiance on the race.

Oopsie, in my post just above I meant to say the girls doing the sled were at a huge DISadvantage because of body weight.

Izzy and Paige are very fun to watch. I understand it’s a game, but I am a little disappointed that those teams used the U-turn in that manner. It’s impressive though that both the U-turned teams were able to survive it.

Kminfinity, I think Hannah went to boarding school and the sister didn't. I think she was super smart, so that might be why.
So upsetting watching those last few teams! They really have to rethink tasks that disadvantage certain contestants (in this case the women) so much. I can't think what it was, but wasn't there a task that disadvantaged the smaller contestants only a couple of legs ago too?
I don't think we can really blame the more competitive teams for using a competitive advantage that was put there to be used. Of course it might shape our feelings about them...
It made sense that Jag & Jas would choose Izzy & Paige after they'd upset them the leg before, whether that slight was intended or justified or not. It's a chance to get rid of a team you feel would never help or work with you.
And Joseph & Adam only used the U-turn to protect Hannah (not that it worked), they weren't targeting the other teams, they just really wanted Hannah to get through.
I love Paige, but I'm not a fan of Izzy, she always takes offense over things. I'm okay with Jag & Jas, they are competitive but they help others a lot. All the others I love, but I particularly like Tucker and Rubina, I'd like to see Tucker and bro win.

I do not care for Jag and brother at all.
I think he was looking for a reason to go after Izzy and he found it that day. But I may not be able to blame him if he goes after Kyland and Taylor. Tuckers brother gave him the wrong information. Whether he did that on purpose or not I don't know.
And Tucker hasn't been bothering me with all his attention seeking he did on big brother, but then again, it's an edited show and it's probably all cut out.
One last thing. When they show Jag and his brother with the black caps (don't know what to call it) and their pointy ears sticking out and their beards, it always makes me giggle because they remind me of Santa's elves. Just look at the picture at the top of the page.

Turbans. They aren't caps but long pieces of fabric that have to be wound around the head. Jag showed the process on Big Brother.
Mike Bloom said that Izzy and Paige were actually trying to find a better train or route and were not keen on either of the teams approaching them, and that Jag just used that as a excuse and that made the edit. But they did have bad blood from Big Brother.

I remember him showing us on big brother. It was quite intricate and time consuming (which they don't have in this race). I was going to use the words scarves when I first typed my post, but I wasn't sure if they were or not. And I didn’t know if what they're wearing would still be called a turban, or if there is another name for what they are wearing. I just just the word caps, because I felt it was all encompassing.

What they wear on the race is a patka, I believe, which is the version that originally was worn by boys, but is used these day for practical reasons, like if you do manual labour. Makes sense for them to use that when they may have to wear helmets at a moment's notice, or if they get sweaty. Also it's easy to tie on, unlike the turban (which is what they showed on BB) which takes time.
Some of the military and police here (who are sikh) wear turbans or patkas as part of the uniform, so we see them quite a lot. They're usually a lot neater than what Jag and Jas wear to be honest, but then they're not running a race.
Also, practicing Sikh men are not allowed to cut their hair or beard, as part of their faith, although a lot at least trim their beard these days, to conform.

Thanks! So not turbans.
Apparently they weren't the only teams to have trouble getting cabs to stop in Hungary.. The black teams also had some difficulty.
Grooch, your eyes are better than mine!

I'm not sure the women even realized their lack of weight was working against them on the scooters. I wasn't sure why they didn't try to wear their backpack. Kyland wore his!
And the male teams u turning the all girl teams -- I'm glad that did not go unnoticed!

Good point, Brenda. I didn't even think of that. It might have helped the smaller women.

They did realize but not soon enough to think to bring their backpacks and they were were not allowed to go get them. This per Simone in interview.
The men also had stronger and longer legs to use for propulsion. And none of them had been U Turned.

That is wild that they wouldn't let them get their backpack. I understand that they can't go talk to their partner. But what if they have asthma and needed their inhaler. Is the lesson to take your backpack with you all the time?

Kyland had his backpack during the street race. I was noticing that the others did not.

Kyland seems to wear his backpack constantly during the different tasks.
