I agree with you there...it made me a bit sick with the begging. Case in point: when there was that 'older' couple (Don and Mary Jean in TAR #6), and they were at Goree Island, Senegal which was where thousands of slave ships left from.... Thankfully, the other teams gave them money, since the locals were very poor people. That would make me sick if they actually expected those with so little wealth to be parted from it.

True, but not always. Remember in TAR #1 (the gay guys couple..TEAM GUIDO)? They won a FFWD, but they lollygagged around so much, that they ended up missing their plane or something, and coming in 3rd out of 3??

True. I did a head slap when I saw that. So much for the drama. Oh well, I'm glad Mary and David are going to Jamaica.

There's always the chance, too, that the team will have enough trouble finding or completing the fast forward to keep them out of first place.

The look on Peter's face was priceless. That may have been the best mat speech ever. "He's not kind." Ouch! (Completely deserved, but "ouch" on national TV.)

I'm just glad that we don't have to hear him say "you climb" or "it's a medical emergency" anymore.

It just needs to be said that, had it not been for Sarah's drive and determination, they probably wouldn't have even gotten that far in the race.

Next week.. there will be a new twist to the game. It's called "The Intersection" where teams have to work together to complete a task. Would love to see Alabama and the Beauty Queens paired up!

Wouldn't it be nice to see Rob and Kimberly eliminated? They're really getting on my nerves with all their silly squabbling. And.. how many times are they going to say, "go baby" .. "you got it baby".. "c'mon baby".. I think calling someone "baby" is grounds for elimination!

Well, come to think of it.. maybe that's appropriate. They both act like babies!

I hate the beauty queens. Hate. A lot. I swear, somebody could tell them that they're going to be held hostage and tortured by a band of angry pirates and they'd be like "Oh great! That's awesome!" with their big stupid smiles. They're just so over-the-top positive it seems entirely fake to me. And seriously, they had to ASK WHAT COUNTRY LONDON IS IN when buying plane tickets? If you're THAT STUPID you should not be on this show.

I think Rob and Kimberly are HILARIOUS.

The Chos need to stop being stupid. Don't wait for people. Bama isn't going to help you, ever, and Kentucky isn't going to be in a position to help you.

I don't think the London question was out of stupidity but more from disbelief. When the one held up the atlas to confirm with the guy the route it did seem insane and I would have had a similar response. Besides, it's not impossible that there's a city named London in other countries.

Actually, you're correct. There is a London in Canada (in Southwestern Ontario)... and there's a New London, in Connecticut and New Hampshire.

I think they were just being stupid -- when the guy said England the one girl responded "INDIA?!!" Um, no. I'd be willing to bet $$$ she didn't think they were flying to London, Ontario, either. That's just silly.

I totally agree with you!! The are just to annoying to watch sometimes.

How lucky was Mary and Dave to be last again in the leg where someone was not eliminated. I know we talked about this last season with the Hippie's, but sometimes I think TAR picks which leg to eliminate/not elimate people according to who comes last. Probably not true, but like I said before Dave and Mary are lucky!

I think you're right. I had suspected that when the hippies kept not being eliminated. I truly think the producers are manipulating the show. There ought to be some sort of guarantee-- such as the producers must submit in advance which rounds will be eliminated to an impartial third party for verification.
