on the run from johnny law... ain't no trip to cle
ANOTHER non-elimination round? that pisses me off. i like the cha cha's, but c'mon. let's stop dragging this out. i almost feel like they keep trying to boot the beauty queens so the other three teams can claim some big "karma got them in the end" thing, but the bq's just aren't losing.

They've got my vote to win it all... if team accent and rudeness wins, i'll have a hard time ever watching the show again

i'm rooting for the bq's too. the only reason i would want "team accent and rudeness" (nice name, btw) to make it to the final three would be because they're basically a non-team in the final leg. not only will they implode psychologically, but they'll never be able to get far enough ahead that a foot race won't be an issue for them.

I made the exact same comment, that had to be the first time ever we had 2 non elims in a row? I was actually thinking serves them right they sell out when they could have simply asked Charla and Mirna for some money and cancelled the pact with the BQ's.

That said, I loved the spin, BQ's saying they said we'll give you money you don't yield us and yield the team of your choice. Uh that's NOT what happened you asked them to yield eric and Dani. And even Danny and Oswald lied IIRC. They said "we might yield you" which is what started the whole thing about we'd take money for the yield, so IIRC it was their idea, not the BQ's?

But I agree the double non elims really annoyed me. They did say that's the last one though.
I really hope we see some footage of Eric and Dani going off on those 2 teams though you know they will and it would sure be funny.

BTW, anybody else amazed they not only didn't censor, but they used subtitles when one of the BQ's said "ride the pony" when he was using that bamboo pole to
flatten out the noodle dough? Very funny but I sure was surprised they allowed it.

yes. it was definitely their idea. and any other team that says they wouldn't have done the same thing as the bq's is lying.

Yep I for one was expecting Dani and Eric to pay them to yield them but of course they were too far behind to know there was a yield until it was too late. If they'd known before the leg started they'd have definitely done it.

too bad for the cha cha's.

as long as the bq's don't make stupid driving mistakes or something, i think this one's theirs.

They appear to have the edge because if the tasks are tough Danielle is not as good as the BQ's(tends to get flustered).

Hard to tell from the previews, they appeared to make it seem like a footrace between the BQ's and Charla and Mirna but I'm sure that's just the tease.

I loved the military guy helping Charla, "ma'm I just told you to stop pushing the buttons. Ma'm again stop pushing the buttons on the GPS." She was just out there walking in circles with error after error.

I'd like to see an all-girl team win, now that the Cha-chas are out.

I also hope the BQ's can hold on to the lead, I get a kick out of how they enjoy every task they take on, first middle or last they are always smiling.

That being said it won't really bother me if E&D or even C&M (yikes) take the prize. Was it just me or were Charla and Mirna easier to take this last leg? Maybe they just didn't get the camera time, loved the soldier telling them to take a little care loading the relief supplies. :)

I always knew I was not suited to the military life but watching the plane scrub down and hearing the sergeant saying they do this daily only confirmed it. We hear so much about soldiers fighting for us; sometimes we don't remember the butt-breaking work they have to take on every day to keep the wheels turning, so thanks guys and gals.

I hope Eric and Danielle win they deserve it, made it through being yeilded and bad luck with planes and everything. Don't really like the BQ's they play dirty and just aren't really that likable. And well the chick with the midget is just mean irratating person could not root for them EVER!

Yeah I liked how in the end the deciding factor was based on how well the teams knew their race partner. You could tell it wasn't luck we could hear the winner reason out the choices before entering the code that released the final clue giving them a several minute lead and clinching the win.

Very good show.

That was a good race.

I was happy Eric and Danielle won. I did enjoy watching Danielle run around in her spandex on her way to racking up the win. :)

i loved the bq's fighting with each other:

Beauty Queens' "fight" said:
kandice (totally calm voice): dustin, i was really disappointed in the way you handled yourself back there.

dustin (tcv): i was just trying to be helpful.

kandice (tcv): well, i would have preferred it if you were more communicative with me as to your needs. i feel that, because of this error, your teammate skills are lacking.

dustin (tcv): kandice, you are being really hurtful.

kandice (tcv): i'm sorry, i just wanted you to know how i feel.

dustin (tcv): no, i'm sorry. the important thing to remember is that our friendship means more than money.

kandice (tcv): girl, you are so right!


/end fight

FInally watched it. Overall disapointed with the ending. The least deserving team won. BQs should have won it.

WOW dback jon the most undeserving team huh? How did you come to that conclusion just curious since they fought through MUCH MORE than any other team left and STILL beat your BQ's who played cheap and dirty and lost to the team they screwed over repeatedly HAHA! They got what they deserved BEAT!
