I'm happy the bowling moms aren't out, but I’m so upset that Charla & Mirna are still in it....they both make me angry. Mirna because she keeps yelling at Charla to run faster and keep up(she's a midget for gosh sakes!) and because she keeps refusing to do challenges (I'm scared of small places...you, my handicapped friend, can crawl down that dark well and drag up a heavy bag from the water). I also hate Charla, tho, because she uses her "short" excuse too often, and then gets upset when the people around her don't fall for it!

ANYWAYS, This is by far my favorite reality show (and pretty much the only one I watch), and I can't wait for next week's episode!!

There's a difference between speaking slowly and talking to people like they are stupid. I've been overseas before and I don't see the point.

How do they expect them to get around with no money??

No...I like them, too

And I think people have mentioned before, Blake & Paige (on AR2? 3?) had to beg for money when Blake lost the team wallet, so it IS possible to get around with no money.

what if Paris and Nicole were on AR? they have experience with begging for money

I remember Blake and Paige begging too. I thought someone else had to do it as well in another season.

Granted, it wasn't a race, but I remember the first few seasons of Road Rules they made a bigger deal about taking the money and credit cards and things and the cast had to do different things to earn money. I also remember the cast of Road Rules Europe being broke between money-earning missions and having to go on the street and beg and wash car windows for money.

Did anyone catch on where they would go next week after Egypt? I totally missed it (or didn't I?)

mmcat · #**112** 08-06-2004, 07:35 AM

the bowling moms, if anyone, can pull off the begging thing with some humor.

Sister Havana · #**113** 08-11-2004, 12:46 AM

Did anyone catch tonight's show? Man, that digging for the scarab would have driven me nuts! I am glad the bowling moms didn't get eliminated. I'd forgotten the brothers were behind them!

valkyrie · #**114** 08-11-2004, 02:12 AM

I love love love Chip and Kim. Chip is so FUNNY. It's nice to see funny instead of cocky assholery (and by that I mean Colin). I like Charla but Mirna is really a freak.

polarpi · #**115** 08-11-2004, 02:57 AM

Can Colin and Christie just go home now? I know I'm gonna have to deal with them for at least another two weeks, because likely the next week will be a NEL, so (fingers crossed) the next elimination round the Double C's will be gone!

I still love Kami and Karli (yes, I know I'm in the minority) and Chip and Kim are great as well. I'm glad the bowling moms beat out the brothers this week (but I still want to see them eliminated, they bug me, just not as much as C&C), and I can deal with Mirna and Charla and Brandon and Nicole. Next week looks to be rather interesting!

mvp honors so far to sharla....
she's running her little legs off and doing everything asked of her beautifully.

I was actually really touched by the brother's last night. They really tried as hard as they could but the one's knee's just couldn't do it. They made it pretty far in the race and even though they quit they did with good intentions.

Charla and Mirna need to go as do Karla and Kami. Chip and Kim are rubbing off on me and I like Colin and Christi as well. Way to go to the Bowling Mom's for staying in the fight for at least one more week.

I agree completely. Right now, I'm pulling for Colin and Christi. As much as I wanted the pizza brothers to go, I was sorry that they went due to what appeared to be a really painful injury. I really wanted Mirna be eliminated last night.

Do you think so? Seems to me he's (1) very competative and can get stressed under pressure, and (2) won't take being messed with. (Mirna? Mirna?) But he's probably done more to help other teams than any other player except Chip (who, as much as I like him, I'm miffed at for telling the twins where the next clue was at the pyramids instead of telling them how to figure it out themselves). While everyone else last night was pocketing their scarabs so no one else could see them, Colin showed his to Brandon (and maybe Kim) so that Brandon (and Kim?) would know what to look for. One reason Colin and Christie have been ahead is because they have done favors for others and had chits to call in.

I figure if Mirna says he's annoying and juvenile, then he must be an okay guy.

Well, I didn't like Chip and Kim till last night but now they are totally growing on me! I think they are super sweet and just get so excited about everything.
I still like Colin and Christie--I just feel they are the most normal of the "dating/models". What the hell was Brandon doing taking his shirt off? You can't do a shot but you can get half naked on TV? What would Jesus do with that???
I was glad the Pizza Brothers got voted off. I thought they were way to cocky and not so nice, so I think there time had come. Still not a fan of Kami and Karli.
Still LOVING Charla and Mirna way more than I ever thought. I thought Mirna really stepped it up last night with the goat carrying and digging. And I was DYING when Charla was having no problem going through the tunnels because she was so short!!
I am glad the bowling mom's are still in it--they deserved it for making it there with no money.
But did anyone think it was just WAY TO conincendental that the plane ended up leaving late, so everyone just happened to make it???
