My favorite episode where they had to eat something was the one a few seasons ago where they had to eat the super hot/spicy soup. I believe it was in Turkey or something like that. That was the season where the dark-haired guy was constantly whining and yelling at his wife. I've never wanted to climb into the TV and give someone the beat down so badly. :)

The funniest thing about that challenge was when one of the people was almost done eating the soup and his wife pointed out that other people had thrown up under the table. He spewed and part of it went into his own soup bowl which he had to finish. Great TV.

So long my darling little Chos, you were my favorite from the beginning. You played the game your way but sadly nice will never win the Race, which is just a fact.

For the past few legs my admiration of the Blondes, has grown and I find myself rooting for them to win, since it was pretty obvious that my Chos would eventually go down in an Alabama blaze (he guys they weren't ever gonna wait on you).

Except for a slight case of self-pity in the beginning, compounded by some stereotyping, the beauty queens have thrown themselves into the game taking each on each challenge not only without complaint or allies but with a smile. They use what they were given to their advantage, can read the heck out a map and seem to have limitless luck.

I actually didn't mind the Cho's leaving because they were being stupid, you can't keep waiting for Alabama when they've shown repeatedly they won't wait for you. And that nonsense stopping every 5 minutes is not the way to play the game. I also thought they were a bit over the top at the end crying their eyes out about how they played their way or something.

it could have been genius if their alliance got to the final 3, but once tea, coalminer lost, they should have abandoned Alabama and played to win.

I think they needed Alabama. They were so terrible with directions they wanted Alabama there as a security blanket.

Bama was stupid for following them for so long. I would have ditched the Cho Brothers from the very begining.

I also thought the whole crying thing because they played the game their way was Lame. Yeah you guys lost by playing the game your way.

Yeah I have a terrible sense of direction, but I get good directions once, and usually find where I'm going. Asking over and over just got really irritating, I realize they're in foreign countries but come on.

Bama would seem to be the weakest of the remaining teams, the others are all pretty good although the couple constantly arguing would seem to be at risk.

The Blondes annoy me to know end. Referring to 'Bama as the "sistas" was just getting under my skin.

I love the Blondes!

Why do they get crap for all that stuff, but no one else does with other nicknames?

And Bama is a joke. They laugh how they are going to yield the blondes, yet when they get yielded, suddenly "that's just how the blondes play the game"...and flip them off!

This is a race, and people should just get over themselves.

I love 'em too.

I was thinking the same thing if 'Bama was planning to yield the "Barbies" as they called them why should they be so offended when they got yielded? Should have run harder to the marker if you wanted to be there first.

If I was in this game my thought would be I'm here to win the million $$ not to make lifelong friends...why can't people understand this isn't just a race its a race for money.

Thank you talk about hypocrites, they couldn't wait to yield the blondes, but it's dirty play for the blondes to yield them?

That said, I really hate when they do that crap, Bama gets there first but has to wait overnight, they all crowd the gate and bama winds up last at the yield. They ought to have it set up so that either they get 24 hour access, or when they have to wait, teams are lined up in order of when they got there so that Bama got first crack on the yield IMHO. But with a yield, there should never be an issue of having to wait like that.

I knew they weren't going to eliminate anybody last night anyways just didn't seem like they would.

That yield was in a bad spot for sure.

I really wonder if the producers fix things...like keeping the coal miners in the game, or keeping the Blondes in it last night?

Even the yield being at that spot allowed them to stay in it, because they knew Bama could never outrun any other team...

I've been saying for years I don't believe the non elim rounds are legit, they say they're planned well in advance but I'm convinced they pull them out at their convenience.

I agree they are used at convenience. They really liked the hippies last season and they were last in 2 or 3 non-elims but then won the show over the "two young athletic white guys".

although i hate bama (actually, lyn is ok, but karlyn drives me nuts), at this point i'd rather see them win. everyone acts as if they have no shot, so it'd be nice to see them pull the rug out.

I think it would be kinda cool for Bama to win and be the first all-girl team to win, especially since most of the focus surrounding that possibilty was devoted to the blondies. I didn't particularly care for those girls, but they really did do a great job at the race.

Yes he cared. I thought at the beginning of the race this guy was a jerk....but he's coming around.

I was laughing so hard.....everytime a tomato plunked her in the head I doubled over laughing. :biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

He was getting hit way worse out there throwing them back.

She was a huge baby there, geez.

It's so hard to stop a challenge and go to another...you just have to stick it out.

Oh man my wife and I think he has gotten so much worse. If I was the father of that women i would kill that guy.

She was a baby Mike but I think her yelling was the culmanation of being treated like crap for days now.
