Yeah for the older couple! I hope they win.
I had very mixed feelings. I do not like watching the hippies at all (except for the imitation of Lake last night -- that was priceless.) I think they are annoying and definitely mugging. You can be entertaining on the race (Jeremy to the camel: "Don't give me any lip.") without the subtext of "Look how wacky and entertaining we are. People love us!"

At the same time, they and the frat boys have been the best teams race-wise. Both have made some stupid navigation mistakes in the last two legs, but they still are overall better than the other 3 remaining teams. I could live with them not being eliminated because they are good racers.

I try to like FrankenBarry, but I just can't. I doubt they'll win. If they do, I'll be glad to see the requisite older couple finally pull it off, but I still won't really like them.

And I said it 6 pages ago:

Ray and Yolanda . . . said that the race is the most amount of time they've spent together, I'm predicting either a melt-down or that they work surprisingly well together. My money is on the melt-down.

Okay, so maybe it's more like a deep freeze than a melt-down, but I knew it would come.
