For those of you on t_witter, Phil will be live tweeting during the show on Sunday! Eastern/Central time zone only, it appears though. @PhilKeoghan

I'm intrigued by this.

I kept getting interrupted but overall, I didn't think there was anything remarkable about this episode. I felt really bad for Zev with all that noise. I have heard people on the autism spectrum talk about how noise can actually be painful to them.

I'm finding myself surprised that we're down to 6 teams already. This season seems to be going by really quickly.

I thought in one episode Zev mentioned that he used ear plugs because of the noise around him. My son uses his headphones and iPod in order to block out the excess noise that bothers his ears.

SO happy Ron is gone!

The episode was made far better by reading Phil's tweets. He had some interesting comments and insights thoughout the hour. However, between all the chaos/commotion with that city they were in, and me multi-tasking by watching the show, scanning t_witter for Phil, and (for a while) flipping over to the Dallas Stars game, well my poor little brain is a little fried now.

Was pleased with the elimination, and continue to be impressed with the Cowboys. They're early rodeo training has really helped them with the tasks in the race. Who knew?

If we could get rid of the Goths next, then I could be happy with any of the remaining teams left taking the million. I find Mallory's sunshine personality to be absolutely refreshing, and her dad is a great competitor. Was she not completely adorable with her enthusiam for the culture, and offering Zev earlplugs? So sweet.

Justin/Zev are delightful to watch, especially Zev's dry wit. I would love to have a clip of all of his commentary! The Globetrotters are entertaining, the Cowboys are endearing, and Jen/Kisha are working to redeem that potty break.

Agree that the season is going fast, and will definitely feel the void when this one is over.

Definitely want to see the goths go next. I was extremely bother by them yelling at the man to get out the of taxi so that they could get to the pit stop. Looked like they were pulling him out rather roughly.

Agreed. And I too felt for Zev.

What I'm really enjoying about this season is how they keep going beyond the basic next clue. Almost every leg has had a clue they've had to decipher, or a picture or something that makes it more challenging than "next go here." I really like that.

I've watched more TAR this season than all previous seasons combined. I knew that the contestants had previously been on the show, but hadn't ever seen any of them in action. Ron must've been a real gem in his first appearance, based on some of the comments I've read.

I really liked the Goths at the beginning of the season. I don't know what their first try was like, but I've enjoyed watching them this time around. Unfortunately, they've kinda gone downhill. They haven't seemed the same since the 'we-left-the-fanny-pack-on-the-skylift' incident.

I thought it looked rough, too. I was also irritated when Kent left Gary. (I'm still having a hard time watching one team help another, just to turn around and stab them in the back. This game is brutal.)

It isn't usually like this? I can't imagine it being like "next go here." Good call by CBS to make that change. I hope they keep it up.

Gary and Mallory are my favorites, but I like all the remaining teams. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season!

No, it hasn't always been that way. It was more common in earlier seasons.

I'm sappy, but Christina met her fiance on the race. Assuming they get married and have a happy life together, that's certainly worth a lot more than winning.

ETA: Apparently it already happened. Pics here:

Did I tell y'all that I saw Cord compete at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. I have to say I was kindof star struck

He is a bull rider, and it is BRUTAL!!

He was the only rider that night to last the 8 seconds, so he automatically made it into the next round.

I saw bullriding when I lived in Calgary and attended the Calgary Stampede. Bullriding is extremely dangerous and is way more difficult than bronc riding.

I never intended to get hooked on another show. I deliberately avoided watching TAR for this very reason, and now... well, I really look forward to Sunday nights. I blame CBS.

So glad Gary & Mallory didn't get eliminated last night!
