Kami and Karli will come in last. No money + no brains = last place.

I dunno.. They have the looks going and might get sympathy money from some people.
They might come in last due to no brains, but most likely they will be okay in begging for money.

Heck, the bowling moms were succesful in begging for money.

I'm torn between the moms and the twins though.

I am also torn between the moms and the twins. On one hand I can't see the mom's going much further with their current game play. The twins however without money will struggle. I think in the end the twins will squeak this one out, they have made it this far.

I'm going with the Bowling Moms. I think the Twins might gett lucky, or take a fast forward or something.

Also, don't forget that this episode will air an hour earlier (9E/8C) due to the Republican National Convention.

That's the worst misspelling of Pelican I believe I've ever seen.

Does anybody know if they are re-airing the show from 8/24 this weekend sometime? They normally air it at 8 PM on Saturday night, but there's a pre-season NFL game on at 8 PM.

Thanks

If your local affiliate is pre-empting CBS coverage to cover the hometeam football game, most cases they'll play the normal CBS schedule at some weird time. Last week Amazing Race was repeated at 1:35AM Sunday morning due to a Packer game.

I vote for the bowling moms as well. Their interview after coming in next to last in last week's episode talked about how they are still in the race and how they have a shot at winning the whole thing.
That's a sign of them probably not making it any further ... oh Linda!

If there is another eating contest, the twins will come in last. Otherwise the Bowling Moms will be eliminated.


Next weeks show is on Tuesday night instead of Thursday.

I just like the title of the episode: "If You're Gonna Whine, Just Shut Up!"

I think the mom's are finally gonna lose it. I'm not fond of the twins, but I don't think the no money situation will necessarily be an issue for them. Something tells me that they will find a way to sucker some money from the locals.

The Amazing Race will be broadcast one hour earlier on 8/31/04. 8pm Central, 9pm Eastern, Mountain and Pacific.
From the CBS website
Tuesday, August 31 10PM ET/PT
  • Halfway to the airport, two Teams realize they have made serious tactical errors that force them to retrace their steps. Will they be left in the dust?
  • Spoiler:
    Linda & Karen
    get into a dispute with a local cab driver, who gets the local police involved.
  • Infighting plagues a couple of Teams, who struggle to complete the Roadblock. Frustration with a partner's performance leads one Racer to exclaim, "You know, I could do that much better than you!"
  • One Team chooses to go for the Fast Forward but is shocked to learn they must shave their heads. Will they do it and take the Fast Forward?
More taxi cab drama! But I think the Twins are going to have a tougher time making up the no money situation than the Moms did. The Moms lucked out with busloads of tourists. How many tourists would the Twins encounter in Dubai, much less in a group like that? And 'tactical error"? That sounds like it's got Twins written all over it.

Uh.. what happened to the YIELD option? Interesting that they would mention it in the first episode, and not once since.

I'm guessing someone will use it in the next few episodes?

I'm still annoyed with how they've basically removed the Fast Forward option. They've only had that ONCE, and it gave them a 1-2 hour lead after the equalizer?

I'm going with Brandon and Nicole: they'll go for the FF, decide they want to keep their modeling carreers (i.e. not shave their hair), and will have to go back to do the tasks.

Tee-hee.

I want to see who will have to shave their heads, should they choose that option. I am thinking it would be the Twins or the Moms, since they are the ones that are trailing.

I'm going with Team Clueless/Dumb Blondes/Wonder-less Twins again, and I'm going to steal Patman's line from last week's thread...
