Tonight's episode is titled: "I'm Not a Big Fan of Olives"

This has been a surprisingly fun season!

I agree with the girls. After Taylor's speech she votes for the girls was hypocritical

Agreed. And I'm confused.

How did the u turn teams get to the second task before the ones who only had to do 1 task, haven't even gotten to the task yet?

I didn't find it hypocritical, but poor strategy. Taylor and Ky "burned" their second vote. It's the same thing Adam did. Meaning, they voted for a team they were sure would NOT be u-turned so they wouldn't have to get blood on their hands voting for a top team they were aligned with.

SO glad the penalty for Joseph/Adam didn't hurt them.

Eric/Tucker and Jas/Jag are just that good, so they were able to finish the first task fast enough to get to the second task before the non U-turned teams, who were slow (Izzy/Paige) or struggling with directions (Chelsea/Jack).

Well!!! Things took a turn tonight! Chelsie and Dad still in, and a bunch of dark horses rode to the front.

This double U-turn was better and more fair but I still dont like it. It was better to have more than 2 teams forced to do it. Like the three teams this time worked out better in my mind.

KM, that makes more sense.

Darn, I would have preferred for Jag's team to leave.

It was really cute when Taylor reassured Paige that Paige would be able to identify the Greek letters way before Tucker would, which turned out to be true. Everybody beat Tucker.

I hate the U turns. You’re penalizing a team thats good. This happened last season with Scott and Lori and now Tucker and Eric.

I would rather have seen Jag and Jaz leave. I just don't enjoy them

Let's GO home back to your trucking company.

Taylor.. Another not great strategy, but her choice.

I guess the producers feel that the U-turns are an opportunity to create conflict and drama and level the playing field, assuming that the top teams are the ones that are targeted. Unfortunately, all too often, it ends up being trailing teams that are targeted and that’s just a sad thing to watch. I don’t like the U-turn and I don’t like to see anyone eliminated that way.

I’m having trouble understanding why Taylor is playing the game the way she is. The way she is playing the game doesn’t back up what she is saying.

I’m not sure why people don’t like Jag and his brother. They seem like reasonably nice guys to me.

They are nice guys. It is just boring watching them win everything. That is why I disliked his BB season

The u-turn really didn’t play much of a role in this elimination. Tucker and Eric made it to the road block before most of the other teams. It was the road block that did them in, and it probably would have even without the u-turn. I may be the only one that was glad they were eliminated. Have never liked Tucker. Jag and Jas don’t bother me at all. Would like Izzie and Paige to go next.

I got spoiled about the result this time, so when I saw the u-turn selection at the beginning I was really annoyed, but in the end it was just an unlucky challenge for them that didn't meld well with Tucker's talents. It always seems unfair when a strong team like that are hit with bad luck.

I don't like the u-turn in general either, but am I right in thinking they have never done a "fair" u-turn before, where all teams vote? I think this season has been unusual, with a lot of physical challenges that strongly favour male teams, and I think perhaps half way through maybe production decided they needed to remedy that or there would be a lot of claims that there was no way physically weaker teams could avoid being eliminated. Kind of fair... kind of unfair.

I really like Tucker and would have loved for him and Eric to win. Now I'd hope for Jag&Jaz. Not a fan of Taylor right now, and her dynamic with Kyland always seems so tense. The other teams I like but it might take another lucky/unlucky break for anyone other than Jag&Jaz to win.

I think Taylor and Kyland are faking being a couple.

Read that they ‘broke up’ right after the race was over.

Good point about the u-turn not changing the outcome. I was astonished that Tucker and Eric were eliminated. It’s fascinating, though how teams can appear so strong and then have one specific weakness that results in their elimination.

The team I like the least at this point is Taylor & Kyland. I like all the other teams including Jag & Jas.

It may sound mean, but I really hope that Taylor doesn’t win. I recall another season long ago where a fake couple ended up winning, and it was most unsatisfying.

I like Jag and Jas, they don't bother me, I also liked Tucker and Eric, and most of the other teams.

I hope that Izzy and Paige leave next. Their reaction when they were u-turned left a very bad taste in my mouth. I get the initial reaction of being upset, but to carry it so far into the game is really quite childish.

I like Jag and Jas too. Felt bad for Tucker and Eric, as they really did play well. Not a fan of Izzy and Paige. Don’t watch Big Brother so don’t know Izzy’s history, but she seems like she could be really mean.
