It did. And I'm not sure how "living together" they were, since she refers to "my doorman." I took it that she had stuff at his department that he left, along with a message, with her doorman rather than actually talking to her himself.

What a mensch.

Ah! I misread her quote, I imagined she came home to "their" apartment one day and she found all of her stuff down with the doorman. I get it now. She's an idiot for still being with him.

Bumping!

Almost done!

TAR is supposed to start in 30 minutes but the football game is still on, THEN 60 Minutes is on. This is infuriating every single week.

ETA: I spent some time watching the videos from the Elimination Station in Acapulco. Looks pretty cushy! I would now like to be on the race and get kicked out first

Sooooo sad at losing our mom/son team. Fraternity brothers have grown on me - goofy, but somewhat endearing. It's the separating couple I want to NOT win - either of the two others would be okay.

I'm rooting for Nick and Starr at this point. I was also sad to see Toni and Dallas eliminated. I don't remember seeing Phil go to a team to tell them that they were eliminated. I guess he figured they'd had a bad enough day, why continue to put them through it? They had a passport issue to deal with too, during business hours.

I have mixed feelings about Ken and Tina. They rub me the wrong way but they have helped others several times too. I'm really on the fence about them.

I don't see the fraternity boys being together enough to pull it off in the end, but you never know!

^^^ I do remember Phil going to the contestants at least one time. Due to flight issues (I think...) there was one team that wound up a full day behind everyone else. If memory serves me correctly it was the final 3 and they were in Alaska. There was no point in having that team do the challenges when the other teams had already crossed the finish line.

I am sure others can correct me on this if my memory is fuzzy.

Yes, it was season 1 with Team Guido. They had to spend the night someplace in Alaska and when they got up in the morning, there was something in the clue box that told them that the race was over, but Phil was not there to personally tell them.

He went out one night to tell two girls that they had been eliminated. The girls were suppose to unroll bales of hay to find the clue. They did it for over 8 hours and never had any success, so Phil saved them the hassle of continuing with the search.

Yeah, he's done it at least a few times when the team in last place was so far behind that there was just no need to make them keep going.

I was really sorry to see Toni and Dallas Philiminated -- I really liked them. I still don't care for DAndrew, but they did race well last night and they have made quite a comeback. I'll be content as long as Nick and Starr come in first and Ken and Tina come in third.
