With apologies to anybody from India, how do people live there? It just seems so crazy from what we see on tv. Cows in the roads on the freeways, monkeys running around on power and telephone poles, the electrical poles are ridiculous we've all seen those pics in emails of a maze of wires strung up.
the traffic is horrible, and it was obviously REALLY hot since teams were sweating bullets in the dark doing the challenges.
The show is getting interesting I figured last night would be a non elimination and turned out right.
I don't know how Ken the ex Cardinal DB can handle his wife, she's just way too bossy for my tastes. And negative nellie boyfriend who kept telling his girlfriend "we're going to be last and get eliminated" drove me nuts.

Agreed (also with apologies)....Agreed...and Agreed.
I have found no one to love on this race, no one to hate either. I am still sort of ambivalent towards all the racers---at one point a team will do something and I'll think OK it's them I'll root for them but in the next frame the mess it up. I think this is the furthest we've been into a race where I have not selected "My Team” not that really ever works out for them I think there has only been one race where My Team won.
There has never been so much hand wringing at the end of a leg as last night---I believe they surpassed their "we're gonna be last, we're gonna be eliminated" quota.

Ambivilent on the frat boys and KenandBarbie

The red headed kid in the frat boys seems ok, the other guy whines way too much.
Don't care much for the brother & sister but really like the mom & son.

I had seen pics before but my god the power lines on that India street were insane. no wonder they have such problems with power outages. Our building for our engineering group in Bangalore has outages quite regularly, they have a generator for that reason. It was that alone that caused us to stop using video conferencing to India, PRI(phone line) is very expensive there and extremely unreliable because of all the power outages.
Was pretty happy with who got eliminated, they were becoming the ugly americans of the show.

Agree Russ they were the team I couldn't stand, glad they were the eliminated ones. And for women who claim to use their brains they sure were stupid in multiple challenges just simply not reading to clues. They were terrible at the game glad they finally got what was coming to them.

Those 2 b*tches deserved to be gone awhile ago.
The frat boys should be next, the whiny one is really annoying.

The frat boys keep getting lucky and not paying for their screw ups.
I was getting tired of that couple that got eliminated, the woman was more manly than that dude.

Glad to see veggie boy gone. Vegetarians drive me nuts. My wife is a veg head.

Yeah, once it was down to those two teams for 4th and 5th, the only way I could lose was if it was a non-elim leg.

I want and need Tina to be gone. Badly.
She is due for a meltdown during the final leg, it is always most chaotic and her personality type can't take it. I will be surprised if Nick and Star don't win it, their navigation of the Russian transit system was just short of amazing. Of course as we've seen any thing can happen.
It is still astounding after 13 seasons that Racers still actually misplace their papers and just plain don't read the clue.

Yep I felt bad for Dallas because it was just such a dumb mistake but you can sort of get how in such stress you can forget a bag.
But if that didn't happen I think it would have been them and Nick and Star in the finals, I just don't see Tina and Ken being able to compete in the final as you said Tina is too volatile. Dan and Andrew you have to give them credit they somehow stayed alive, more sheer luck than anything.
I figure Star and Nick in a landslide now, as one of the frat boys said it will be the biggest upset in Amazing Race history of they manage to win.

The frat boy marching is maybe the greatest 2 minutes in TV history.

That was unreal. At first I thought he was intentionally exaggerating it to be funny but it became really clear he just couldn't march normally. The laughter from the Russian guys made it all the more funny.
They were even making fun of it on one of those talk soup type shows it was so bad.
Too true, the stoic Russion soldiers actually giggling was the undoing. Then they have to take on a dancing speed bump LOL, I was sure they were sunk. They have made it entertaining and they do win the lucky SOB prize.

sucks for Toni and Dallas - I liked them.

That sucks never a non elimination leg in the right place, idiots like the frat boys stay and good people go home.
Part of the game, luck -- good and bad, is a big part of the Race.
I don't think they ever had a non elimination just before the last leg. I liked Toni and Dallas (I have a soft spot for any team run by a parent\child combo and they seemed to be the best at it so far). As for the frat boys, they are bumbling but their being there doesn't bug me, it is kind of interesting watching them plod on through. The only team I have ever disliked in any race was the family edition, mom and daughters (no soft spot for them) from Florida--they were the worst.
It would have been cool to switch it up and have four teams racing to the end but will all the clue boxes they get routed to during this leg it probably would have been an editing nightmare. An hour is still just an hour.

Well, it ended like it should...
Yeah, glad they won...they deserved it, were one of the best teams in AR history really, although a lot of that could have been because the rest of the field was so bad
I seriously think those frat guys underestimate how cool they were on the race and how much their frat brothers will appreciate what they did
