I am

that the brother/sister team are gone. I would have told off that ticket agent.

I am

that Nathan and Jennifer are still on, but laughed when the taxi driver denined them and Phil told them to go back and get a taxi.

With the grandpa/grandson team, am I the only one who feels that the grandson should be doing all of the work?

Me too. The lesson for us, nittanyalum, is to never walk away from the ticket counter or the travel agent's desk without looking at our tickets and making sure they are the right tickets.

Right now, TK and Rachel are my favorites, just because they keep good attitudes.

Depending on how much travel you do, it's really not that hard to figure out the different fare class codes on the plane tickets. Different airlines use different letters to indicate First Class (F, P, usually), Business, and Economy class tickets. I used to work for United Airlines and I fly mostly on Continental so I'm used to their codes, but you don't have to be a seasoned traveler to figure it out!

Before leaving the counter, the contestants already check that their boarding passes have the correct destination, time, gate, etc. Don't know why Azaria and Hendekia didn't ensure they had the right tickets before they left.

Hopefully you two can get upgraded to First or Business class! Teams can get upgraded by the airlines as long as they just pay the full fare economy not any upgrade fee.

Making a note of it in the team journal right now...

I'll probably root for them next too, I think both they & the Goths are good teams and play well...

Are they ever going to have a non-elimination round this season? I could SO have gone for one last night!

Word is no.

Nittanyalum and I will have to keep on top of our game.

I may be the only one here, and I don't know why...but Azaria and Hendekia irritated me.

I can deal with the rest of them winning, except Nathan and Jennifer. They just get on my nerves. And I wanted the bro/sis team to win (most of all) too.

PhiGam · #10 12-24-2007, 12:02 AM

I hope the goths lose first

nittanyalum · #11 12-31-2007, 02:21 AM

^^^I was JUST about to post about that! I was soooo irritated when Nate and Jen got to the pit stop first, but it was completely the Goths fault for not u-turning them. They sat right next to them threading flowers for however long, knew they were RIGHT behind them, but they u-turn the grandfather/son???? Who were in, what, 2nd place at that time? And now we get to continue to enjoy Nate & Jenny. Kind of a weird group of teams left in the top 4!

PeppyGPhiB · #12 12-31-2007, 03:51 AM

The only team the Goths had seen during the detour was Nate/Jen, and N/J finished the detour before them, so they figured N/J were in front of them when it was time for the U-Turn. But considering they had to complete the speedbump, if they had really thought about it they would have concluded the other two teams they didn't see were probably in front of them, not behind them.

Too bad...I thought the goths were pretty good racers. Nate and Jen, on the other hand, have driven me nuts the whole race. I can't stand the whiny women on TAR every season.

My favorite racers ever are still Kris and Jon from several seasons back (maybe season 4 or 5?).

SWTXBelle · #13 12-31-2007, 08:13 AM

Drat! Tivo only got the first fourteen minutes thanks to football - so I take it the goths are gone?

AGDee · #14 12-31-2007, 08:39 AM

Ugh, and I forgot it was Sunday (4 day weekend has me all messed up) so I didn't watch

. I really wish CBS would let us watch this show on the web!

jitterbug13 · #15 12-31-2007, 09:04 AM

I wish the Goths would have u-turned Nate and Jen. I wanted them gone since the first episode. They will probably be around one more week (since next week will probably be a non-elemination round before they go into the final three).

I will miss the Goths.
