Synopsis:

Red Dog

Should be about a 10 or 15 minute overrun for DC, Pitt, Baltimore and others in ET/CT who got a CBS late football game.

LiquidSky

The British dad is kind of a twat.

Red Dog

Thought cute and blonde might pay off. Cool chicks though - they had a great attitude.

I'm thoroughly disgusted by the snowboarders. I don't mind Christian teams, and I can even live with teams who think that the fact that they are Christian makes them better than the non-Christians they encounter. But for them to go into a Buddhist shrine and say it out loud is just rude. That one chick got it -- she wouldn't want a Buddhist coming into their church and treating a cross disrespectfully; they should extend the same courtesy to others.

The blondes definitely caught my attention as eye candy, but they were two of the most grounded, likeable, fun racers in a long time. Terrific attitude, polite, grateful, and it's too bad they couldn't be rewarded for that.

I really like how the show, along with Phil, allows the contestants to step back and enjoy what they DID accomplish and not dwell on just being eliminated and how it really isn't all about winning or money (not that all teams are capable of doing this).

Noooo! I will miss the twins. I thought they played with class in this episode. It was like they knew they were out and just enjoyed the adventure of the day. Lucky elephant.

MLBFan24

those twins really loved those elephants...haha

shoveling crap and enjoying it!

misterchimpy

I just want to put it out there that now that they're out of the race, if they want to come over to my house and scrub my back, I'm totally ok with that.

sauce07

I'd gladly blow my hose all over them twins

Cardsfan111

For me, all the teams are fairly likeable. I kinda like the seasons where I'm rooting against someone.

dolphinboy

What, the Rangers aren't enough for you?

Josh-da-man

Yeah, I was really impressed with the twins, too.

Great attitude, and I really liked it when they said they weren't going to beg for money from poor people. Very classy.

I like the snowboarders until tonight, when they outed themselves as Jesus-freaks. The snide comments about the Buddhists was really dickish.

mytzplyx

I like Ernie and Cindy, but they owe the cab driver an apology.

Under today's exchange rate, 4,500 baht IS equivalent to $147 US dollars. So, the cab driver and that weird lady who interceded on his behalf were right to ask for $150 (as opposed to settling for the $100 that was offered).

dalbowski

Is there a reason why teams no longer step on the mat? Too expensive to clean?

LiquidSky

The chick from the brother and sister team had the right philosophy. Even though it is not her religion, she treated it with respect as she would like her religion to be treated.

Sad to see the twins go. They seemed like nice gals and had great attitudes. Them not wanting to beg for money impressed me. Good people.

Spiderbite

Felt the exact same way about all of the above.

The snowboarders really irritated me with their religious arrogance of their god being the "one true god." "Just read the Bible," or something like that. Ugh.

I know all religions feel their god is the only "real" one but Christians and Muslims seem to always take it to the next level of pretentiousness.

sauce07

yeah, it was funny how fast my opinion of the snowboarders changed, they instantly went from being some fun cool dudes, to complete douches.

CRM114

I was totally rooting for the slackers until this episode. Screw them.

slop101

Hilarious how the cabbies would give the twins free rides - gee, I wonder why?

Ropes Pierre

I hope they go to Rio and the giant Jesus statue falls on them.

As Edward G Robinson might say "Where's your messiah now? Crushing you for your hubris and disrespect nyah nyah, see"

TheBang

You know, even after this episode, I still have no idea who Jeremy and Sandy are. I was looking at them in this episode and absolutely could not remember seeing them at any point previous in the race.

movieking

I am drawing a blank on those names. No idea who they are. The blonde and her boyfriend maybe?

Big mistake on the father/son team to lose a lot of time for not understanding a basic rule of the race. Would have sucked if it got them eliminated, but then again, the father seems like an idiot.

Really liked the twins, and it really is too bad that they are gone. But at least they got to play with elephants...

Derrich

I think the dad is ready to go home and is sabotaging the team. Kinda like Ron did last year.

Canis Firebrand

I kind of got that vibe as well. When I watched it last night, I thought I recalled the son saying "dad, we should take notes while disassembing it." Then the dad said "we don't have time for that."

Once they got to the reassemble part and the son had to go back to take notes, I thought i heard the dad say something like he told the son to take notes.

I was a little surprised about the bus thing. I think they thought, like I did, that they'd get a penalty if they took the first class buss. I didn't know that rule only applied to flights.

And the blonds saying they were going to walk to the next destination. I thought they said it was 500 miles? Thats a long walk.

Totally agree with the comments about the surfers. I was pulling for them until last night. Way inappropriate to disrespect a dominant religion in a foreign country.
