The Amazing Race 15

I'm not sure what happened during the run to the tower either, probably a little bumping and shoving from both sides, and combined with being wet and slippery, and exhausted, they both fell.

I think the Globetrotters reaction at the tower was likely to be a bit of killer fatigue (that mud volleyball looked rough for everyone) and getting just plain sick of the one a-hole brother (earlier in the episode, the globetrotters mentioned how wrong it was that they were cussing at each other during the hay bale thing, and since the show is edited down, can you imagine listening to them carp at each other for hours?)- and you're right, it has been just the one, but he makes me dislike the pair of them -especially after seeing the scene next week where they steal the cab, that's just low - the jerk brother justifies, but the other doesn't say, "whoah, this is their cab, we can't take it" - makes him just as guilty IMO.

Didn't someone else do that a few seasons ago, take another teams cab? I'll admit, I sort of go back and forth between "that's so wrong" and "if it's not against the rules, then all's fair in love and the Race."

Meanwhile, the "speed bump" barely qualified as a bump of any kind. Go sit in a sauna for 5 minutes? Sure, it ate some time, but it was hardly a "task."

seriously! and that didnt set them back, causing their elimination. it was all the other silly mistakes.

I was SO sure Brian/Ericka were gonig down. If they havent lsot now, theyll make top 3.

The two gay guys though - i LMAOed so hard at the blurred out crotches during the volleyball game!

Oh god. I was wondering why they were blurred, but that didn't occur to me at all.

I actually married an estonian guy (well he's 50%) but I can tell you from experience...they are a rather good looking group of men!

Random, but...

On a trip to Washington, DC in college, which was offered every other year, the professor would always include visits to two different embassies in the itinerary. We went to Canada and Estonia. The Canadian embassy is the CANADIAN EMBASSY! The Estonian embassy is a townhouse on Massachusetts Ave, with two guys running the whole place. We literally had to ring a doorbell when we got there.

The two guys were definitely good-looking, and they were so excited that we were there. They even had a guestbook that they insisted we all sign! Then we went upstairs to the second floor and sat on this gorgeous rug in front of a huge fireplace while these two gorgeous guys talked to us about Estonia.

It was one of my favorite parts about the whole trip

ETA: I found a picture!!

If this picture were rotated in the opposite direction, you would be able to see where I lived a couple of years ago. Hahaha.

This is how my friend and I pretty much felt about the country of Greece. I have never seen so many really attractive people in one place. The men...wow...fit the definition of "Greek God." And the women are beautiful. I couldn't stop remarking about how good looking everyone was. I even wrote an email home about it.

Stealing cabs is not new on TAR. Remember the season when someone actually called someone else's cab to cancel the reservation? I do think that if I finished a leg of the race first, and the other team was way behind and their cab was just sitting there, I might take it. Especially next week, which is the last leg of the race and therefore really worth a million bucks.

I think you're probably right, but it's not quite as funny that way.

I had forgotten that. Anyone remember who that was?

"...... the Frat boys cancelled everyone else's cabs. They were right, though. It was karma that their cab didn't show. Even funnier is that the other 2 teams blamed it on Joseph."
