Not much into country? That's one of the main appeals of this show to me. I travel alot around the world and it's always fun to see other countries and cultures depicted in this show and to sometimes see places that I have actually been to. For example, the last episode in Singapore they showed 2 places that I went to on my trip to Asia in March...One was the Singapore Flyer.

I believe he was talking about the country music awards that aired last Sunday in TAR's spot.

Caite seems pretty strangely obsessed with Ping Ping. And that really seemed like a really big cigarette that he was smoking.

I think I visited all of those places that they went to in Shanghai when I visited in December.

Watching the cowboys put together those outfits was hilarious.

For Caite's sake, I hope PingPing wasn't infectious.

I thought it was unusual watching four teams at the end of the race that clearly liked and rooted for each other. I know some people don't like the detectives, but they showed some pretty good sportsmanship.

The cowboys had some funny lines in this episode like if Ping Ping "jumped outta the trash can, he'd scare you" or how Jordan would fly through the fashion challenge.

I like all the teams enough to not really care who wins, though the cowboys probably deserve it most. The other teams were right when they said Brent and Caite should have u-turned the cowboys instead...then again, they probably would have caught up anyway...

The Cowboys would be the most deserving, but I'm ok with the others too. I think it would be fun to see the models win just to watch the angry lezbos heads explode at the finish line.

Poor Ping Ping indeed. Soon as they showed him on the show, I told my wife that I read that he had died and had to Google it to confirm.

The top two teams are the cops and the cowboys, so glad to see the cops are still in it.

I'm rooting for the cowboys for sure. they never get upset, they have a good attitude, and they get it done.

I think the cab driver they had last night was exceptional.

Paraphrasing: "Boy, smoking really does stunt your growth."

I'm sure getting that big smack on the cheek from the gorgeous Caite made Ping-Ping's day.

As others have said, all teams left are great. Cowboys deserve the million but would love to see the models win just to see bitch-lesbos stand fuming on the sidelines while they watch them run to the finish line.

The Sicily line and the "tranquil" conversation both had me laughing pretty hard.

As soon as they had the double roadblock, I kinda had the feeling it would be non-elimination. The noodle guys were rather generous with what they accepted as noodles. And I felt sad once I saw Ping, knowing he had passed away. As much as I think the detectives are an ok team, their attention to detail really sucks.

What I want to know is that when the puzzle pieces started to get blown by the wind, couldn't the racers build off the back pieces, since you could see that there was text on it. Sure there were some blank pieces but if you built this so you could read it and flip it over, it might have been easier to rearrange.

I'm pretty sure that this stage has always been non-elimination. No big surprise there...

I kind of thought it was a non-elim leg as well when there were two roadblocks.

It was confirmed, to me, when the detectives spent a ton of extra time on the puzzle challenge. Usually Phil comes to get the last place team after all teams have checked in and its an elimination leg.

I was glad to see Carol and Brandy go the previous week. They were an annoying team to watch and had no issues with making fun of people or trying to act all tough. They really whined a lot when they found they were U-turned. True, it might not have been the best team to do that too if Brent and Catie were trying to get out a much stronger team. But, Carol and Brandy were fairly competitive and strong.

I'm routing for the Cowboys to win or the Detectives.

This. I don't think I've ever been more wrong with a preconceived notion of a team (which I instantly do for most teams) than I was with them. The guys that I would think would suffer the most culture shock and they are totally down for anything and everything and do it with a smile. They're pretty awesome.

This.

They became my favorite team of this season and perhaps all time. They are both pretty down to earth, level headed, don't let things frustrate them too much. The puzzle roadblock when the pieces were blowing all over, sure it upset them, but not nearly as much as the brothers team and his almost meltdown.

I really do hope they win it.
