I think they've got the hots for them - and it's ironic because they are SO good at reading people.

But, maybe I'm wrong and their out with everybody now.

I get you. I don't think they're out with everybody, but I seem to remember that fairly early on they told the poker girls. Maybe I misheard it, though.

Love calling them Malibu Barbie and Ken - perfect description.

I wish I could take credit for it -- I can't remember where I heard it.

It looked like one of the brothers was wearing a Pi Kappa Phi shirt, and if my eyes weren't deceiving me it appeared that is was from my own school- TCU.

I won't comment on the rest of the episode since I know not all parts of the country have seen it yet.

And didn't we all think "Greek Chat!" when we saw that?

They might have been able to if they hadn't kept going back and forth. They tried thirty times to ring the bell at the dance place. I don't know why, when they found the golf hard, they thought that after swinging those heavy clubs and swimming back across canal, they'd have a better chance of ringing that bell. All they did was tire themselves out more. I can't help but wonder if they'd still be in it if they'd stuck with the golf the first time.

Meawhile, best line of the night: "If we don't know anyone else's name, we know Bryan, Bryan, Bryan." I was so ready for Bryan and Erika to go -- aside from her constant whining, I have little patience with people who don't read the clues.

seriously! i onl started watching this season 3 episodes ago, but Erika was SO annoying. and i think they did have hard times following directions. Why did Erika have such a hard time counting the bells when it seemed like everyone else was spot on? Bryan shouldve went up on the account of her whining.

As for the poker players - i didnt know you could forfeit your race! and im really surprised it was them, and at that point in the race. and the Globetrotters - hilarious!

Thanks for mentioning that, because I meant to.

They did seem to quit, didn't they? Rather than have Phil (like he has at least once or twice before) come to them to tell them they've been eliminated and to save them from continuing on fruitlessly, it seemed like he came to them because they said "we're done." He never did the I'm sorry to tell you that you have been eliminated from the race spiel.

But what if it was a non-elimination leg? You know you're in last place anyway, so sit down and rest for 15 minutes, then try again, hoping that it's non-elimination and that you can deal with the penalty next leg after the "mandatory pit stop." Sheesh.

The fact that you have this attitude really makes me want to turn TAR on someday and see you and nittanyalum showing the other teams how it's done.

im seriously waiting for a GC team to go on TAR. we could have GC meetups and watch together, and all sorts of stuff. and the GCers would always have to wear letters. but then we'd expect to find them, and couldnt post about it in said thread.

I went to college with Sam; actually sang in the choir with him - nice guy.

Warning: Again, if you usually have the show immediately following the The Amazing Race recorded, so that you can watch later on, make sure it's the same show. For me, they have "A Dog Named Christmas" playing afterward tonight instead.
