i think they should have balanced out the physical activities and road blocks to help out charla more. she has proven she can do anything that people over 5 foot tall can. how about a change and have the other teams do something that charla can do in her sleep and that the other teams can't do so easily?

too late now

But I am off the Christie and Colin bandwagon and on to Chip and Kim. They just seem to get so excited about everything!
I think Kami and Karli are they next to go.....

no more Phil for Mirna...haha

Phil is so hot...and that accent *swooning*

Ok...I really don't get the Phil thing - I think he looks like a tool!

But, I am happy that Charla and Mirna have been eliminated and can't wait to see it happen to Kami & Karli.

I'm still rooting for Colin & Chrisite and am starting to really like Chip & Kim just for their excitement for this game!

Dittoes to everything! I was so amazed at how touched Phil was by Charla. She *rocked*. Too bad she had to put up with Her Whininess. *ugh*

I'd still rather see Colin & Christie (as of now) than the twins, though next ep will probably change that... Loving Chip & Kim, however. I think they're my #1 picks right now.

polarpi · #**140** 08-18-2004, 11:06 PM

I *still* love the twins (I don't care if I'm in the minority

), and Chip & Kim have become my other favorite team. I can't stand Colin & Christie or the Bowling Moms, and I'm *meh* on Brandon & Nicole (but she was getting a little too whiny during the Detour for me to handle

)

I'm hoping C&C go home the next elimination round, which with my luck won't be next week.

It's sooo funny that no one seems to like Brandon and his girlfriend. I'm a little hurt that Charla and Mirna got eliminated simply because I LOVED Charla. That girl was bout it for real. She did pretty much EVERYTHING while irratating Mirna complained. They were a smart team though, and if you could be robbed on this show (which you really cant be) I would say they were robbed. The twins and the bowling moms should have been eliminated before "Mirna and Smirna"

I must give the bowling moms credit though, even though their game isnt interesting to watch you HAVE to give them credit simply for making it through a non-elimination round two episodes ago and are STILL not eliminated. The bowling moms and the twins have some serious luck going on. And can I also say that I lost A LOT of respect for Colin after that eating competition. He is a STRONG player, probably the best in this whole competition, I was so disappointed when he was crying like a baby. And like everyone else, I am officially on the Chip and Kim bandwagon. I honestly thought they would be one of the first four teams eliminated. FINALLY, they stopped making dumb mistakes. I really respected how they took time out to chill with the family that they delivered the chairs too. I've become impressed with their game AND Chip really redeemed himself when he helped the twins in the last leg of the race, even though I wouldnt have. So, I hope Chip and Kim win, but my favorites ALWAYS come in second too. Besides Colin and Christie are a true force to be reckoned with. Question - Why hasnt anyone else used a Fast Forward? Do they only show up on particulary parts of the race and not every leg anymore?

Right. There are only two Fast Forwards the entire race now. Colin and Christie used the first one in Cairo, and he second one hasn't come up yet.

polarpi · #**143** 08-25-2004, 02:16 AM

So who do you all think will go for the fast forward, and who do you think will actually do the task associated with it?

And I'm so glad this was a NEL....I was so mad at the twin who told their cab driver to follow Brandon and Nicole's cab

valkyrie · #**144** 08-25-2004, 02:28 AM

I wish the twins had been Philiminated today. They're not really very cool.

Doesn't anybody else think that Colin is a gigantic asshole? He is so obnoxious to Christie and she always ends up blaming herself for getting upset with him. Dude, I'd be upset with someone who acted like him too. You just don't talk like that to the police -- he seems to think that if he throws a big enough temper tantrum, he'll get whatever he wants. I hope that doesn't continue to work for him and I also hope that Chip and Kim kick his butt.

I think Brandon is a total jerk. His made himself out to be the "dirty American" when he refused to pay the $100. Yeah, the guy had a bad tire, yea the guy was driving for 2 hours without a good spare, yea the guy had to borrow a tire from another team, but keep in mind that they are in a foreign country. If the cops become involved you can end up in a very bad place for a very long time and you may not have an embassy near by to help you out. I really wanted him to lose, but alas, he and Nicole came in first.

Psst....Daffy....it was Colin who was refusing to pay the $100.

I can't stand Colin and Christie.....more of I can't stand Colin than Christie, but since they're paired up, I don't like the team. Hopefully this team will be gone next.

smiley21 · #**147** 08-25-2004, 06:16 AM

i think colin is an idiot and i hate him. and i cannot stand christie for putting up with it and taking the blame. what did she do to him last night? nothing. and yet he yells at her for holding up the game. colin you fool, it is you that is not paying. you are willing to put $1 million on the line so you can gripe about paying an extra $50? you are idiot.

and then did you see the previews for next week? colin looses it again.

AOTTAdvisor · #**148** 08-25-2004, 09:02 AM

I so stand corrected and feel so mad at myself for liking Colin and Christy in the beggining. I cannot STAND them now and I really hope they lose.

My faves are now Chip and Kim and the Bowling Moms!

But did anyone see when Kami and Karli were like "the next leg, we will just lie, lie, lie, to get what we want" and "hey, we are young and cute--we will be fine!". I was so dying laughing!

MysticCat · #**149** 08-25-2004, 09:48 AM

Colin definately fell off the totem pole for me. Aside from supreme jerkishness, talk about losing total sight of the objective. Which is more important, staying ahead in the race and keeping focused on the goal or going crazy over $50 and risking getting thrown in jail in a foreign country? Idiot. Not cool that he and Christie (someone give that woman a backbone, please) still came in first.

Still, I was pulling for the twins to get eliminated, even though I was pretty sure this would be a non-elimination round. But I'm betting they'll have a harder time than the Bowling Moms getting by without any money.

Go Chip and Kim!!!

Big fat hairy co-sign on this and every other comment on Colin.

It's too bad they don't have worldwide domestic abuse hotlines. If Christie stays w/ Colin, the verbal beating will become physical like night follows day. If you're in the middle of that situation, your self esteem is so erroded you can't see it - but to the rest of the planet it's obvious.

Christie would have been better off letting Colin rot in a Tanzinian jail and quitting the race.
