Yes, but at the same time Hayley seems to have realized she needed to let up a little and has. Unless they revert back to their old ways I think they make take this thing. And with having toned it down, they might become the team I have to root for by default. Don't like Jelani and Jenny at all, indifferent on Mike and Rochelle, and still can't stand the Amy Adams doppelganger. For me, she has always been worse than Hayley.

As far as Hayley toning it down, I haven't seen it. She tells Blair what to do every step of the way.
It was fun watching her take out her aggravation on the sugar cane.

Hayley has admitted lately she went too far at times in the past and seems to have cut down the shrillness?

Cut down? It was over the top annoying in this one. Can't stand them... well, her. I keep hoping they lose.
Laura & Tyler got lucky finishing given they screwed up their flight. Pretty weak leg overall.

With Blair standing far back when Haley was wielding a machete
So that's 3-for-3 for teams doing a speed bump getting eliminated this season. Has it always been such a long shot in past seasons for teams to stay in the race after surviving a last place finish in a non-elimination leg? It does seem quite fair to me ... without a heavy penalty, it would make the entire non-elimination leg seem like a waste of time.

Glad to see Jelani and Jenny still in it. Great teamwork as usual.

This is one of the few seasons where I'd like to have some sort of Reunion show, just to see if any of the Blind Date couples kept in contact after the race.
Also glad to see Mike and Rochelle hanging in there. After the first couple episodes I would not have bet on them getting this far.

It looks like Mike and Rochelle have lost quite a bit of weight from when they started out.

More poor Blair (unaired footage from the last ep). It's hard to handle this through a computer screen. I can't imagine how Blair keeps his cool in person.

Ford, Travelocity, now Fitbit - I'll take whatever sponsorship and blatant product placement that keeps this show on the air.
@ the shots of the locals and the llama when Matt looked stumped with the typewriter. Thank you for making me feel 100 yrs old.
LOVE HAYLEY. I thought she toned it down when Blair's bilingual skills became useful - but those extras above say otherwise (not even showing any gratitude for the little Spanish he did have.). Big props to him for keeping zen throughout this entire race.
Good thing Blair didn't take on that sugar cane challenge cuz you know Hayley would find something to nitpick on his hacking technique.

They actually seemed to have a chance to advance to fourth if they had done the shopping task, but they blew it by listening to Laura and Tyler (who accidentally saved their own butts with that move) and inadvertently backtracking to do the potato challenge. I also think they could have gained more ground early on if they hadn't made the same mistake as Laura and Tyler in trying to find the shoe shine place (or followed them, as it were).
