Yes, it was season 1 with Team Guido. They had to spend the night someplace in Alaska and when they got up in the morning, there was something in the clue box that told them that the race was over, but Phil was not there to personally tell them.

He went out one night to tell two girls that they had been eliminated. The girls were suppose to unroll bales of hay to find the clue. They did it for over 8 hours and never had any success, so Phil saved them the hassle of continuing with the search.

Yeah, he's done it at least a few times when the team in last place was so far behind that there was just no need to make them keep going.

I was really sorry to see Toni and Dallas Philiminated -- I really liked them. I still don't care for DAndrew, but they did race well last night and they have made quite a comeback. I'll be content as long as Nick and Starr come in first and Ken and Tina come in third.

I would also like to see Nick and Starr win. I was sad and nearly in tears with Toni and Dallas.

My mom kept saying that Tina is such a grouch.

I REALLY don't want Nick and Starr to win, at all!!! I think they are far too cocky and I don't like it, so don't even get me started on Tina... I am rooting for DANdrew, even though the likelihood of them wining is slim... Toni and Dallas seemed like good and fun so I was kind of rooting for them... oh well, just not Nick and Star and Tina... lmao, rgggg

I. Just. Can't. They've raced terribly -- wit the exception of the non-elimination leg and the most recent leg, they've only survived because someone else always races worse (or has bad luck) in a given leg, but without a doubt, they have been consistently the worst team. I can't bear to see them win.

I was really sad to see Toni/Dallas lose too, they had such a great attitude, and it was so neat to see how close they were and how much they love and support each other. Great mom and son relationship!!

Read their interview with Reality News Online and you'll like them even more. They're great.

A few highlights:
  • They were only 30 minutes to an hour behind Ken and Tina when Phil came to them to put them out of their misery.
  • The taxi driver turned Dallas's passport in to the US Embassy that night. They had it back by noon the next day, but the flight for the last leg had left around 9:00, so they would have been way behind if they hadn't been eliminated.
  • Dallas and Starr have been dating for about six months now.

Ok, well, just to buck the trend, I'll root for Ken and Tina so all the teams are covered.

Seriously, though, if the "frat boys" win a mil, I'm done with this show.

Who would run Team GC with MC if that was the case?

LOL, ok, ok, you both got me, I typed it in the heat of the moment, thinking of those two shlubs walking away with a million dollars. In the light of day, I can see where their winning might actually inspire me more to get on there with MC and walk all over the competition. So have no fear, MC, your pardner's still on board! I haven't stopped doing my hurdle stretches or trying new, weird foods! I'll be ready when our number's called!!!

Great start, but how is your "taxi-lingo ability" in any number of foreign languages? Did you notice how Sarah seemed to be able to converse with every single cab driver this year? I never ceased to be amazed at her multi-lingual abilities, and it helped them get ahead on a couple of occasions.

A few nights ago, I had a dream that Nick and Starr already won. I got really confused the next day when I saw the commercial for the season finale. I thought it already happened.

It is not that Dandrew are my pick... I just don't want to pick the other two teams... I really liked that online dating couple and Toni and Dallas... and have always HATED Nick, Star and Tina... so, I am rooting for DANdrew, but for the same reason I voted for Kerry in 04, lack of better options...

I find all three remaining teams completely unlikeable. However, since Starr sported a TCU cap for one episode this season I will pull for them.

...and as much as I hate to admit it, they have run a very good race.
