Judging from the preview where it said that two teams are targeting another team with the Yield, it looks like the Yield Queens and the Cha Chas are conspiring to Yield Eric and Danielle, who will likely be running in last place as they usually are and so won't be able to use the Yield themselves. Charla and Mirna are too classy and fair-minded to use the Yield, so I don't think they will be using the Yield on anyone. And the Cha Chas are their friends, so I don't think they would Yield Charla and Mirna.

Danielle has a nice rack.

I love how in Mirna and Schmirna Land, using the Yield, a tool provided to the teams by the producers, results in bad karma. But asking a ticket agent to randomly kick people off a flight for no reason is just fine. Manipulative, hypocritical bitches, the both of them.

Any other team I'm cool with. Although Danielle gets a little grating with her whining. Good thing she's got that rack.

It's sooo close for Dustin and Kandice. I am rooting for them then the Cha Cha Cha-ers. And how are Oswald and Danny not a couple?? Is one gay and one metro or something?

Incredibly lame episode, but it was kinda cool watching the car stunt, the flying ninjas, and the door kicking.

GO BEAUTY QUEENS!!!

How many episodes left?

Mirna was clearly just joking around and pulling the ticket guy's leg when she said that to him. It's obvious that many viewers take everything that Mirna says far too seriously, and don't seem to understand her witty sense of humor.

I guess they did away with the 1 fast forward per team per season rule. Team Cha Cha Cha had already done a FF with U+J during the intersection in Poland.

The editing is why Amazing Race has won every single Reality Emmy. They show
Mirna predicting bad karma for the BQs for the yield and in the next frame show Mirna pleading with the ticket agent to kick random people off the plane since they really needed to go to Hong Kong. The editors really love to show hypocrisy.

I love Mirna and her craziness, but that doesn't change the fact that she's the most boorish contestant in the history of the show.

I wonder if they edited out Mirna and Charla taking the ferry back to hong kong island (or did i miss it)? Didn't the clue specifically state to take the ferry, so if they were driven to the island, wouldn't that result in a time penalty?

Well, they were driven to the island, but got on the ferry there. I believe they took a roundtrip so they did actually follow the rules.

Anybody who wouldnt use the yield in the Amazing Race for a million dollars out of friendship doesnt deserve to win the million dollars. You yield who you need to yield to win. This isnt the Amazing Friendship. And there is no bad karma when you use the yield. Stop acting like its a low down unfair thing to do. It's a tool to get ahead. It's not something the BQ's invented.

I liked the wish part with Mirna and Charla.
She wished for a safe trip home, I shouted that she should have wished for 1 million dollars and missed her saying and 1 million dollars. I had to rewind it to hear what she said.
But I wish they were gone!!

Interesting episode. I can't really remember an episode where they had to do 3 tasks during a leg. They did the ninja climb, kicking doors down, then pulled the boat....though I guess as easy as they all were, doing 3 wasn't a big deal.

It's nice to see the BQs are in good racing form after choking through the first part of the season....they appear to be the strongest team currently. Hopefully this comes down to actual racing and not teams getting screwed out of a flight or get a stupid/bad cab driver.

Looking forward to next week, from the CBS website:

Spoiler:
"One Team is left in a state of shock when they become victims of a deal between the beauty queens and a certain other team."

Looks like the BQs and another team, team up to yield someone?

well the only team i can stand (& like) are Oswald and Danny so they better win the race.
Mirna and Charla well more Mirna is extremly annoying, the beauty Queens can be annoying at times as well and Eric and Danielle are about as intresting as a nail in the wall.
I still wish U&J were still in it but sadly they took a big chance that ended up costing them the race.

if you watch their interview, they said they had plenty of time to catch the connecting flight. when they were in poland, their tickets were being printed and the printer broke while printing their connecting flight passes. when they arrived to germany, they couldn't reprint already "printed" tickets. the agent in poland said whe would call ahead and let the airline know in frankfurt, but when U& J got their, they were told the lady never followed through. so, it wasn't the risky flight, but a damn printer...it's not as exciting i guess to watch on tv.

It's always hilarious to see Charla just stroll behind the counter when they're bookin flights as if she's just entitled to do that

Why are there so many bad comments (on here and in the game) about the Yield? The BQs were just playing the game. For all they knew, Uchenna and Joyce were already at the pit stop and they were battling Eric and Danielle to stay in the race. I would have done it as well.

It still amazes me that Mirna and Schmirna are still in the race. They're two of the worst racers I've ever seen. They blew 3+ hour leads twice and a 2+ hour lead once. They're just getting really, really lucky when booking flights.

And when did they change the rule about the FF? I thought a team could only get a FF once in the race, but Danny and Oswald used it twice (this last leg and a previous leg as a team with Uchenna and Joyce).

Ok, I'm in consensus with the yields. Each team has a right to use it without feeling guilty.

Eric & Daniel hate everyone. Charla and Mirna, Beauty Queens, Guidos. Who's next?

So much hate here for Charla and Mirna though. Go C&M. I think they've gone further than some of you would give them credit for. I betcha even Phil is rooting for them.

I think the same people behind Charla and Mirna are the same ones voting for Sanjaya Malakar.
