I was a little late to the Amazing Race game (I missed the first few seasons altogether, and then once I started watching, I missed episodes pretty frequently.) Thanks for filling me in.

I think the producers left it a little vague on purpose. The twins said that they would split the money (thereby, according to their logic, splitting the guilt for stealing it). And at one point, Lexi said to Trey, 'They're going to split the money with us.' But, I don't recall seeing Trey & Lexi receiving/accepting any money. I'm also curious as to how that played out.

Same here.

I don't know all the details, but Lexi told me that "things are not always as they seem". They reported the money they found to the producers and were told to keep it. There is a lot of editing on any show like this. I believe Lexi and I fully support her and Trey. Go Team Texas!!

I am loathing the twins.

Loathing.
Unadulterated loathing.

I could have sworn I responded to this last night, but ditto.

And I loathe racers whining about being U-turned or acting like it's somehow unfair that they got U-turned. Yes, Ryan, I'm talking about you and your "The Chippendales cost us $2M" sob story.

This. Is. A. Competition.

The U-turn is part of the game, and the Chippendales played the game well, as did Trey and Lexie. It's nothing personal. (Well, sometimes it is, but not in this case.) Put on your big boy britches and stop whining.

At this point, I'm pulling for the Chippendales to win. (Now there's a sentence that when the season started I wouldn't have guessed I'd be typing.) If not them, then Trey and Lexie.

EXACTAFREAKINGMENTLY!!! He's annoyed me all season. Remember when he was whining when they didn't win a leg & that meant that they wouldn't break the record of the most #1 finishes in the race??? Ugh!

I'm pulling for Trey & Lexie first and then the Chips...

Yep. I liked Abbie, but Ryan got on my nerves too. What a great attitude -- I'm really competative, but I can't take it when anyone else is.

There's a huge difference between competitiveness and just being a a-shole.

YES!
