I'm so sick of Hayden saying "C'mon Baby" too. Geez she's annoying. I don't like that team at all. I'm glad Don and MJ were able to overcome the counting drama. Ikea furniture is tricky to put together, but I would have done that before I counted 2,304 pans/dogs.

Co-Sign.

I felt badly for Don and MJ, but when you are exhausted, it's very difficult to do a detail oriented task like counting something with 2,000+ items.

My FAVORITES are Kris and Jon...they're great and unless I have forgotten something, they don't annoy me. Also, they seem to have a good relationship, perhaps because they're dating long distance and hardly ever see each other ;)...LOL

Don't they call each other "baby" and say "c'mon baby" alot, too, or is that Freddy and Kendra?

I think it's Freddy and Kendra who do that. I guess we'll find out again on Tuesday night. Actually...maybe Jon & Kris do it a BIT, but not to the same extent as Hayden and what's his face.

i was rooting for the grandparents to not come in last. good thing it was a non-elimination week.

As much as I loved Stanford, I would like to see the grandparents gone. And also (of course) Jon and Victoria.

Good Lord, I thought Dakar was somewhat nice.

The grandparents made me CRY. They're the sweetest things, EVER and I hope they stay in the race.

The couple who came in first is growing on me. They were the only young people not bitching about everything and actually appreciating where they were. I mean, yeah it probably smells and it's so different from the U.S., but if what's the point of bitching when hi, you're on the Amazing Race, you idiots -- do you know how many people would LOVE to be in your place and have this incredible opportunity?

I was hoping it would be a non-elimination round. Good for MJ and Don for making it further than any other older couple. But, I can't believe they chose to go fishing for the detour. Stacking the fish was so much easier/quicker.

I was actually happy that Hayden and Aaron screwed themselves at the tower. They really irk me.

Yeah, they're annoying.

I also don't like Freddy and Kendra...do these people *not learn* about fighting with the locals / trying to stiff the locals after watching that jackass Colin in Tanzania? Good GRIEF.

Also, behaving like "ugly Americans" abroad does not exactly do PR wonders for other Americans who want to travel and see the world...AI YI YI. :rolleyes:

I was impressed with MJ hauling that heavy sand...grandma rocked! And her hubby was so cute when he bawling his eyes out over his love for her.

I SO AGREE WITH YOU!
As the saying goes, "If you want things to be like they are back home, STAY HOME!!!"

I was thinking the same thing last night - Kris & Jon have definitely jumped up on my list of favorite racers. My top three teams are MJ & Don, Gus & Hera, and Kris & Jon. The other teams can all go home now! ;)

I don't know if I like all the bunching up of all the teams every episode. I know it increases the "tension" in who's going to possibly be eliminated, and no lead is safe, but at the same time, some of the roadblocks and detours take care of that anyways. We don't need to see teams sleeping in hotel lobbies, all getting on the same plane (and whatever happened to the fast forward? Is it completely gone this season?) and so on and so forth.

Needless to say, AR is my favorite reality show to watch and get involved in! :)

I was so excited that they visited someplace I've actually been! It was good to see Senegal again.

I could NOT BELIEVE Jonathan's UGLY BEHAVIOR, where he was bitching that no one was talking English (well actually, I *CAN* believe his behaviour...he is a little troll). Hello, you know that you are going to travel the world, bone up on some French, German and Spanish, dude...it will surely help. :rolleyes:

I was LMAO when Victoria said "Vite! Vite!" and Jonathon said "beep beep", because he thought that's what she was saying. IMBECILE. :rolleyes:

I don't get to see the episodes until Wednesday nights here... so I'll be chiming in with my thoughts a bit later then everyone else. I LOVE Amazing Race. It is the only reality show I would ever even consider being a contestant on, can we have a three person team PolarPi and Smiley?
I just knew it was going to be a non-elimination leg because Phil kept saying May be eliminated. When someone goes home they always say WILL be eliminated. I'm glad the grandparents are still in it, but where in the world are they going to get money for their ferry ride back to the main land? The tourists? Go MJ and Don!

I think that's the best idea EVER! :D

Whaddya say, Smiley??? :) (Think we can pitch it to TPTB at CBS?)

Okay Jonathan is offically a psycho. He like pushed his wife tonight because she was carrying HIS bag so it wouldn't get stolen. Favorite teams? Mine is Hera and Gus
