Remind me the next time one of the two team doublemint, is behind the wheel. Good Lord. And those cars! What are they made out of egg crates?? Scary dangerous. Looked like they were taking some serious chances getting behind the wheel....there were a couple of SERIOUS meltdowns this week, wasn't there? The one with Kim/Rob was bad ass, but I enjoyed the airport line scene between the blond bimbos and Alabama....I don't want them to be the winner, the blondies.....

I thought tonight was an awesome episode full of silly comedy. They barely did anything in this leg of the race in Madagascar but were able to pull to a full-hour and not be so boring.
I am also convinced if you look at Rob/Kimberly at the beginning of the episode with how open and chipper they are, (after the last episode where they are at each other's wits end) that they had some awesome make-up sex in the 12 hour "mandatory rest time" between episodes. Wonder if other teams through the seasons get that luxury?

There is no way I would have been able to do that 'Fast Forward'! I'm always amazed at how easily Reality folks (Survivor, Fear Factor, Amazing Race....) are able to eat ANYTHING!!! Eating cows lips, with hair and teeth still attached, would be completely out of the question for me!!

Man, talk about earning your money! This episode was gnarly TOUGH. And the comment from one of the blondies about Finland, " isn't that where wooden shoes come from?" was priceless!! NOT!! The swampfest looked awful. The teams had my sympathy, and then only to find out, they are still racing and no rest period yet..Damn.

This whole season has been physically brutal, starting with the climb up the Great Wall in the first leg.
I still can't tell them apart but I'm rooting for the blondes now, and want Rob & Kimberly to get the next Philimination.
C'mon girls! An all-female team has never placed higher than fourth (the Bowling Moms). If you get to a Yield first, you best put a halt on those junkie models.

Some news on the nest (11th) TAR:
QUOTE
CBS has confirmed weeks-long speculation that the 11th round of The Amazing Race will be an all-stars edition featuring cast members from previous contests.
Though the Eye is thus far mum on the actual roster, sources tell Variety that Rob and Amber, Joyce and Uchenna, and David and Mary from Kentucky are likely to make the cut, while neither famous feuders Jonathan and Victoria, nor fan faves Chip and Kim, are expected to be back.
Great, more Rob and Ambuh!

They should be! Not gonna miss team bimbo. I am rooting for team 'Bama all the way. Morocco looked wonderful except for the camel meat. Now thats gross!! Yuck. Even if it did taste like hamburger!

Glad to see the Beauty Queen's gone. Did they seriously think the model boys would willingly give up 1st place to save them from elimination. They sure did have a sense of entitlement! Won't be missing them at all. Tired of Bama too. As for Rob & Kim, well I had to laugh when she got hit with the tomatos and freaked out. If they are foolish enough to marry I hope they have adivorce lawyer onj speed dial. I'm cheering for the model boys, aka Team Rehab.

I was disappointed that the Beauty Queen's lost, but they were truly victims of their own success. They were probably one of the strongest female teams in the history of TAR, although ... they fact that they couldn't really navigate on their own caused them major issues once they reached Barcelona. I don't see how someone wouldn't know how to read a map ... it should be common sense.
'Bama and Rob & Kimberly took advantage of a simple detour since I would have thought that it would be pretty obvious to find a tomato that had a clue inside since it would be characteristically different than the other tomatoes, sans stem and such Having said that, if a little SOB would have pelted me with a tomato, I would have gone apeshit on their ass.
I truly hope that the Models/Addicts don't win the finale. Either of the other 2 teams would be fine with me. I've grown to like Bama, but they have to be the least athletic team to ever make the finals of TAR. Unless there is a roadblock before the dash to the finish, they are going to lose and lose badly in a foot race. *shrug*
Finally, I can't wait for the All-Star version of TAR. I would LOVE to see if they implement some rules that discourage teams from getting Fern's to do their navigation for them a la the Beauty Queens.

I just got done watching the show. Surprised that no one has posted anything. I must say I was deeply disappointed with "Bama." In short, they blew it. While at the one airport, they should have pressed for tickets, help, assiatnce, SOMETHING, instead of giving up, and driving to the other airport. That cost them. I was glad the DA's won (boys), but I was rooting for Bama. Rob and Kim seemingly took 2nd place pretty well, considering all the blowouts they had throughout the Race. All in all another good installment in my opinion. Not the best, but a good installment. As always, I look forward to the next Amazing Race!

LOL - no doubt. How anti-climatic. I was cheering for any scenario BUT this one. :-(

It was a shame after a show/season of excellent weather, that it was so dreary in New York. Also dissappointed that once they got to the States, it was nothing but a big run through the streets of NYC and a cab ride.
Surprised that they didn't note on the show that the Finish Line was across the river from West Point.

I don't know if Bama could have done anything else at Orly. IIRC, they attempted to purchase tickets to NYC at the ticket counter and they were told that all flights to NYC went out of Charles de Gaulle and that they couldn't purchase tickets for that flight at Orly. Their biggest issue was assuming that Orly was the preferred airport to purchase the tickets. Granted, they could have tried to see if they could have connected from Orly to a different airport ... London, perhaps ... and taken their chances there. *shrug* However, hindsight is 20/20.
I'm just bummed that the Models/Addicts aka *insert random team of Alpha Males here* won again. It woud have been nice if there would have been another task at the finish line, which would have prevented the home stretch from being a foot race to the finish. Tyler and James weren't the sharpest tools (nor the prettiest tools) ... hell, they were probably the dullest tools in the shed (any and all puns intended).

I actually was pleased with the final winners of the 3 groups that were left in the Final 3.
Kim/Rob, who I called Scream Machine, could have gone home week 1 and I could have cared less.
Bama was not worthy of winning (my opinion LOL) because they were just proof that all you need to do is be the not last team in order to make it to the end-line.
I liked the guys- they were a good team who played well together and I hope that they will do good with their money- we will see- but to see that they struggled to get off drugs together to making a million dollars on TAR is a nice story- they werent the typical male/male winners.

I heard about the Amazing Race All Stars. As it turns out that I was on Guam for business this week and got to see a few of the All-Star teams complete in some challenges. For the sake of integrity, I won't mention what teams I saw but I did get to see them do the road blocks. It was interesting to see the behind the scenes part of it all just for a few minutes of footage. They did their competition on the AF base there and it was pretty cool. We were not allowed to take pictures for obvious reasons. I can't wait to see the episodes air in Feb to see how it turns out.

Tell, tell, tell! Did you see Shmirna? Kentucky? I read somewhere that teams were spotted in the Miami airport. I just want to know what teams are back.

chevy,
If you wouldn't mind sharing your information via e-mail, it would be greatly appreciated. I know which teams are in the Final 5 due to spoilerage on the internet, but I'm very intrigued to find out which of those teams are in the Final 3.

I saw the same spoilers and I must say I was quite pleased with the final 5. Very surprising too.

Rumor has it (from Return of the Racers on CBS.com) that the All-Star season coming in February could be the last season of TAR on CBS, even though they're still taking applications for Season 12.
It's been a great show and i've not even sat down and watched most of the seasons, but truly a gem that you hope sticks around.

I also hope that this won't be the last season of TAR. I love competition and travel and this show intertwines both of interests incredibly well. Granted, there are a few things that I would love to tweek, but other than the ill-fated family edition, I have avidly followed the show since the middle of Season 1 and will be depressed when its run ends. Hopefully, they'll release the list of competitors soon since there has been much speculation about who is and is not racing this season.
Thanks for the email chevy, =) ... It was incredibly helpful. While I could just wait a few months, I always like to open my Christmas presents early.
Lord ... I can't wait for this season to start! Screw writing my thesis, I'd much rather watch TAR!
