So sad that Gus and Hera went home tonight

Jonathan, as usual, ticked me off. How does he think it's motivating when his wife is getting sick and all he's saying is "you can't be the drama queen"

I'm sorry that Freddy got his head hit with the gate (Hera, I think, got it worse), but it was pretty entertaining to see him go off.

One word about the blood Lori and Bolo drank: EEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!

It'll be interesting to see next week's episode!

[GeoffZ]

Boo on Gus and Hera getting eliminated.

I almost threw up watching Freddy eat his own vomit. That was so wrong.

Funny how Lori & Bolo drank that blood without blinking an eye. I couldn't have done it.

[CutiePie2000]

I watched my VCR tape of the episode to see if anyone was "pulling" down on the gate. To be honest, I think that idiot Freddy just ran into it, without having sufficient clearance...DUH!

On another note, I have to say I LOVE the attitudes of Kris and Jon-- they ROCK!

Hera and Gus: sorry to see them go, but I knew that they would be getting chopped soon.

The ultra spicy soup: in a word, YAK! (but then, I hate Tabasco Sauce)

Yeah, drinking the blood was pretty gross, but it must have been mixed with something so it wouldn't "congeal" (Yes, my Mom is in the medical-dental profession and she explained THAT to me...eeeew). I'm not sure that I could have done it.

Jonathon needs to be smacked.

Is it just me, or did the blatant product placements, pigs blood and puke scenes really cheapen what was once an excellent show?

Yeah, that AOL thing was OOC. Who even uses that?

I'm bummed about Gus and Hera, because none of the other teams really appeal to me very much, although Kris and Jon are pretty cool. I love Aaron too but can't for the life of me understand why he wants to be with Hayden who is bitchy as all hell and also NOT CUTE ENOUGH FOR HIM.

[ms_gwyn]

We can all agree that Jonathan is an idiot, I have the dim glimmer that perhaps tonight he will not be a jerk to anyone (i know, don't get me started, but I do )

They've had food eating competitions like this before (even before fear factor, I just remember that fish soup I think in Thailand, the very first season).

I am very upset about Gus and Hera, but I loved his qoute, "My Daughter will always be my Daughter, But now My Daughter is My Friend"......I think what made me love them was the Beer Road Block.....I will miss them very, very much.

I have to see who will emerge as my new fav, because to tell you the truth, none have.....I like individuals.

[Sistermadly]

My favorites were Gus and Hera, but now that they're gone, I'm rooting for the Blandies (Kris and Jon). They'd better not start praying at every roadblock, otherwise I'll start to hate them too. Second favorites: Wrestlemania. I wanna be Lori minus the implants.


I'm really surprised that El Hornio (Adam) didn't threaten to throw himself off the bridge when Rebecca didn't want to go out with him. Maybe his whiny ass will drown in the dive suit next week, but it'll be just my luck that he'll be saved by his freakishly long toenails which have grown because his mommy isn't around to cut them for him.

Now that I'm starting to think the whole Jonathan/Victoria thing is an act, I can't even muster up enough energy to hate him. I just think he's incredibly pathetic.

Right, and the food challenges have always been linked to the culture, just like they were last night. It seems like they've always been things that Americans would find gross but that locals would either consider normal (although maybe in larger portions than would be normal, like the soup last night or the caviar last season); challenges to show one's strength, courage or power (like the pig's blood); or maybe even delicacies.

Hate it that Gus and Hera are gone.

As always, I wanted Jonathan and Victoria to lose, but I only want them to lose when it is his fault, not hers.

I'll be bummed if anyone but Kris and Jon or Hayden and Aaron win this race.

[queequek]

Could someone please recap what is going on the last episode? Polarpi, perhaps? I am backpacking in SE Asia right now, and they don't have Amazing Race over here.

/hijack it was funny to do backpacking after hooking up with Amazing Race. You always can relate anything you do with the show: eating weird stuff in Bandung, doing Bungee Jumping in Bali, buying plane tickets to Kuala Lumpur, riding bus to Singapore

Here's CBS's recap of the last episode:

Not only is Jonathan a creep, but last night Victoria showed that she is just obnoxious when it is Jonathan's turn to do a Roadblock. I was so hoping that they would lose yesterday, not that I mind the departure of Hayden and Aaron. I think I hear more "Baby" last night than I have heard total for the entire show. What an irritating sound coming from those 2.

Daffy

Kendra's babies are also annoying and I hate her voice. I just want to see what happens if Jonathan and Victoria lose and if he completely explodes or what.

[ms_gwyn]

yea, Victoria plays the victim well (and she may well be) but she also is just as bad, the insistent whining as her husband, they almost deserve each other. I no longer have any sympathy for her. Don't get me wrong, I still think Jonathan is an a$$hole.

I really don't have any favorites any longer, I'm just enjoying the ride......and all the whinny girls .

This show has been on for a while, they should have a pretty good idea how it works and the stress involved, people need to sit down and be honest in how they react in certain situations, so when that reaction arises, there should not be that much of a surprise.

Next week seems to be a whiningfest...woo hoo

that better be a serious injury and not just some little splinter.

{edited b/c I can't spell}

[polarpi]

Why, oh WHY did last night's episode have to be an NEL? I would've been happy if either J&V or H&A went home, because they are both SUPER annoying (and F&K are just as bad - the "model" alliance, please )

Next week will prove to be very interesting, with Victoria freaking out, Kendra screaming at Jonathan to go help her, etc, etc.
