Spoiler:

Eric and Danielle are done. They're not exactly the best racers and they're marked for elimination. Their only hope is that they give Mirna and Schmirna a < 4 hour headstart on a flight for once.

Here's hoping that Charla and Mirna make their way into the final three while the Yield Queens get knocked out because of all the bad karma they've built up.

I am sure hoping the spoiler list is wrong because this will be my last episode if it is right.

Back back back, evil ones! Any mention of spoilers is the devil. Someday I understand why human would even look at them to start with.

NICE DEAL!!

Mirna, with her condescending and acting all superior, needs to STFU! The Yield was put in place for the teams to use.

The noodle making with the BQs was the highlight of the episode.

Phew, I was sure Team no personality minus our whining replaced Danny and Oswald. Thank heavens there is another leg left!

That was a surprise. I didn't think there were any non-elims left.

Meanwhile, Mirna continues to prove her stupidity with her questioning the wisdom of yielding the last place team - that serves to help everyone to have a better chance of not finishing last, not to mention it was the strongest team left. You don't want Jugs and her boyfriend in the final-3.

I wish they spent more time showing Mirna trying to drive that car. I want to know how long it took to back it up.

Finally, enough with the Karma bullshit. This isn't My Name is Earl.

Too bad the producers had to juxtapose that with the nauseating image of Mirna/Schmirna (and her fat caboose) humpin' the pole.

It would have been wise for the BQs not to confront and flat out lie to Jugs and Nipple Ring about the second Yield ("...yield somebody else but us." ). Should make things more interesting knowing Mirna can't shut her trap.
I too thought this was going to be the leg that was to determine the final three, considering how those spoilers have been right on the money.

Actually, as it turns out, Mirna has been entirely right both times because in both cases the Yield proved to be completely ineffective at knocking out the Yielded team. As a result, you have a team that's been Yielded twice and is now fired up and playing twice as hard as before.

The worst thing you want to do is wake up a sleeping dragon, but that's exactly what the Yield Queens have done. Eric and Danielle were done, finished, just a few legs ago until the Yield Queens woke them up with the Yield. It was a terrible tactical mistake on the BQs part. Add in all the bad karma they've built up and you've got to start thinking that it's going to backfire on them in the end.

What if Danny and Oswald would have arrived before the 30 minute timer? Would Eric and Danielle get eliminated? If not, then the 30 minute timer is irrelevent and was totally unnecessary that they showed just for the audience to be keep guessing. Placing two non-elimination legs back-to-back does not make sense.

If Danny and Oswald made it to the mat before the 30 minute timer ran out, then Danielle and Eric would not have been eliminated, but would have been marked for elimination again. I agree, two non elimination legs back to back is pretty stupid.

Pretty surprised this was a non-elim leg. The BQs are really running a good race now...180 turn around from the early legs where they kept making dumb little mistakes. Dustin. yummy!

Doubt O/D will over come the 30 min penalty next episode, but I hope they do. Would like to see a BQ, O/D, and E/D final 3....it's long past time for C/M to go!

This has been a pretty good season, much better than I anticipated when it started.

The Yield Queens really showed their true colors at the end when they out and out lied to E&D and tried to put the blame for the Yield squarely on Danny and Oswald, even though it was the Yield Queens who specifically told Danny and Oswald to Yield E&D.

It was nice that Danny and Oswald admitted that bad karma put them in fourth place. As Mirna might say, "When you make a deal with the devil, you have to pay the consequences." Dannd & Oswald may have finished last, but at least they learned a valuable lesson.

Mirna needs to teach a class on integrity and ethics to all future Amazing Racers. No surprise that she and Charla were more than willing to give Danny and Oswald cash with no strings attached, while the Yield Queens would only give them money if they Yielded E&D. Too bad Mirna didn't get to Danny and Oswald first.

Danielle has a nice rack.
