TAR 12

^What's sad is that even with that mistake, there were still incidences where the Goths *may* have wound up in front of them (depending on editing, of course):

* Jen forgetting to get the receipts until the second person gave her a hint ("Aren't you forgetting something?")

* The directions N&J got that the pit stop was only 2-5 minutes away and so they started running - I was hoping they'd continue running for about 3 hours!

Just goes to show - you want to U-turn a team you *know* may be behind you (even if Nate & Jen had gotten to the mat before the Goths, they were the only ones the Goths had even seen since the completed the Speed Bump)

I'm rooting for Ron & Christina, so they'll probably get eliminated next

At this point, I'll be happy with any of the teams winning the million bucks...except Nate and Jen.

I'm curious to see if TK and Rachel's separation from the pack will work for them or against them.

Oh, I'll never make you carry the team solo . . . except on roadblocks.

It was simply a very stupid move. They may have thought N&J were probably ahead of them since they left the detour first (though not by long, it appeared), but they ought to have known that one bad taxi driver or one good taxi driver can make up for that. They should have figured that after the speed bump, most teams were likely ahead of them. They also should have figured that since N&J were the only team they had seen, and since N&J were pretty much neck and neck with them, they should take the chance that N&J were behind them. They didn't, and they lost as a result.

My favorite racers ever are still Kris and Jon from several seasons back (maybe season 4 or 5?).

They were Season 6, and they tie with the Chip and Kim (winners, Season 5) as my favorites of all time. I was disappointed they weren't in the All-Stars season.

I can only hope. As annoying as Jen (especially) and Nate are, I simply can't stand Ron anymore. I would much rather see him gone.

I know, right? I look forward to it every year then need a month or so to decompress afterwards...

My wish for who should go home goes back and forth throughout each show as to whether I dislike the Nate/Jen team or Ron more -- the thing that makes me even slightly tolerate Ron is that his daughter is so great and SHE deserves to do well. It just stinks that Ron "wins" when she does.

I see your point, and I do like, and feel sorry for, Christine. But Ron just completely lost me on the billboard task.

Meanwhile, I softened -- just a very, very little bit -- on jen shen she looked at Nate and said with a slight laugh, "We just don't do stress well, do we?"
