Here, we are calling David & Jeff "Team Stealth" since they hardly get any screen time and we keep forgetting they are also in the race.
P.S. I noted that when the "dating 12 years, virgins" went onto the crowded train... that when they got off, the text should read "dating 12 years, no longer virgins."

Kelly and Jon are insecure jerks, especially Kelly. I really hope they don't make it to the end, but I have a feeling they will. I'm not pulling for the virgins, but they haven't done anything vindictive to deserve the rassing that they get from K & J.

Well.. I'm voting for the Mole and her partner.
After this past leg, the blondes are seeming to be in it again. They sort of surprised me how well they worked together on screen the last leg.
I'm also not sure how R & C got the nickname chipendales...
Anyways... interesting leg 6 show and looking forward to leg 7.

Yeah, we're totally due for a non-elimination leg.
I started out really liking Kelly and Jon, but she's really grated on me over the last few episodes. She has no reason to be catty w/ Millie.
Speaking of Millie, I love the brief exchange she had with Chuck as they were getting on the train in India. It was a great scene and filmed just right. What a stark contrast in teammates--she plowed right in yelling for Chuck to follow and he just stood there. That contrast will not win them the race. *remembers Flo and Zach* Or maybe not.
Team Implants have a shot of positivity which should help them. This last episode was the first time I wasn't annoyed by either of them. Anyone have pics of these two in their modeling days, BTW?
Hopefully the teams will be aware of an impending non-elimination round. No one should waste a FF then.
Still having trouble rooting for someone, but Millie seems to lead the pack. Jon and Al are also getting less annoying. I'd still lean towards one of the 2 male teams winning.

Curious. Is there any way of knowing prior to the end that it is a "non-elimination" leg? And if not, it sounds very convenient as a tool for the producers to keep an interesting couple in the game. Maybe that is why we have not seen one yet.

According to the rules, the non-elimination rounds are predetermined to the beginning of the entire race, but the players do not know which legs are non-eliminations and which ones are not ahead of time, although the last clue usually says "the last team to check in will be eliminated" when it is an elimination round.
IIRC, there are 3 non-elimination legs.
I did not see TAR or TAR2, but I think last year, once the non-elimination legs started, I think the last clue of the leg stopped saying that......so then you wouldn't necessarily know until you got to the pit stop.....or maybe I just don't remember correctly.

The description of the next episode is giving me flashbacks about Flo whining about refusing to get on the train if it didn't have AC.

Non-elimination Legs
In TAR1 & TAR2, there was 1 less team in each race and 1 more non-elimination leg. The non-elims were Legs 6, 8, 10 & 12.
In TAR3, a team was added (making 12 teams total) and one non-elimination leg was taken away. The non-elims were Legs 8, 9 & 12.
Since TAR4 also started with 12 teams, it'll be interesting to see if the producers keep the same non-elimination legs this time, or whether they vary them to throw the teams off.
Although the teams don't know it's a non-elimination leg (until they get the last clue and it doesn't say "The last team to check-in will be eliminated"), as a viewer, it's been easy to tell.

I am hoping for the Mole and her Claustrophobe fiance to be eliminated next time around. They get on my nerves, particularly Chuck - he is an indecisive wuss.
Kelly and John haven't been too bad the last couple of eps, but they will have another fight sooner or later.
I like the new and improved team of Tian and Jaree.
I think I am starting to root for the Clowns. Or David and Jeff.
