I really wanted Flo gone...REALLY. She must have some hidden qualities. She MUST. The previews for the next episode that featured her balling was enough to make me cringe. Somehow i think putting her on said previews will probably lower the ratings.

I busted out when Ken and Gerard took that spill on their bike. The bits of Ian's reflection of being back in Vietnam was a bit sobering. I think Zach is a good candidate for priesthood because he's pretty much a frikkin' saint compared to Flo. Team Zoolander had a good run.

Great episode. At various points throughout the show it looked like any team could have been gone (except for Teri and Ian, unfortunately). I can't stand Flo either. She reminds me of that irritating chick from the first series that kept degrading her boyfriend and actually made him cry on camera. Then when they were eliminated, she basically broke up with him on camera. I can't remember her name (Karen maybe?), but her shrill cackle of a voice has his name etched into my brain: "LENNY!"

I'm glad Teri and Ian made it this far simply because it was interesting to see Ian's reaction returning to Vietnam.

I liked Team Zoolander, but I wanted them to be eliminated simply because they are the least entertaining of the Final Four. Should be a fun finale to watch.

Best moment of the show: Zach saying "I can't wait until I don't have to hear her yell ever again."

Sing it with me:

Flo's a bitch, she's a big fat bitch,
She's the biggest bitch in the whole wide world!

sweet! it worked out the way i wanted!!! byebye team wonder twins!

teri and ian actually seemed less annoying this episode. that sorta surprised me. they were actually civil. and they didn't stand out as much as they normally do as being annoying american tourists. if they win though, i think i'll have to slam my head into my keyboard a few times..

i like how zach said that it will come down to a foot race and that they can beat the other remaining teams... even though last episode they were beat up a hill by ken and gerard in a foot race..

HAHAHA!

NOW Ken and Gerard can mop up! GO KEN AND GERARD!

anybody have a guess where the final destination is?! my guess is somewhere in australia. judging from the previews...

it's a good thing that it's a two-parter next week, too. because i'm going to be out of american tv range for the holidays..

i can't wait for next season, already!!! i LOVE this show! it's probably my favorite on tv! (i hope they start the season in the summer in the regular down time.. it would be a definite ratings bonanza, imo.)

What are the final teams' home tomes? Picking one of them seems the trend in past seasons for the end destination.

I still liked it when the Wonder Twins arrived at the Pit Stop in total disbelief that there wasn't a task completed, only to have Phil say that they hadn't completed the pitstop.

Can't believe that both Oh Brother and Wonder Twins went entirely to the ferry terminal.

AAaaaaaarrrrrgggghhh! How can Ian still be in this?!?! I didn't even really watch it, I just had it on in the background. I wouldn't have minded if the twins won, but if Flo or Ian end up on the winning team I won't be able to watch this show again. Teri and Ian have been 2nd to last the whole friggin time and now they are 1st of the final 3? Scuse me, I gotta go pray to the porcelean god.

You've got to give Teri and Ian credit they've done this whole thing alone with no " alliances " to help them . They surprise me more and more every week . As far as Flo I wish Zack would kindly tell her to shut her damn pie hole ! That bitch is flat out annoying ! Whining must be her mission in life ! And not to mention she is just a negative person , good thing for her Zach is her teammate . Zach is officially my hero having not yelled at her , been mean to her and keeping his head straight with a team member like psycho bitch !

I don't think I have ever felt so bad for a team as I did for the Twins tonight when they arrived at the pitstop without having completed the roadblock. They were so totally lost and confused to begin with and then to come upon on Phil caused even further consternation for these poor fellas. That had to be teh suck. They had done so well up until this point and that one little oversight turned out to be a disaster for them.

What I don't get is why did they get on the ferry when Oh Brother was going in the opposite direction. Shouldn't they have realized that needed to go back as well since Ken and Gerard were, or did Oh Brother act as if they hadn't seen Flo and Zach on the ferry in order get twins to hop on the next one?

Overall, this has to be one of my most favorite episodes of all time.

Funny how each series has villians right up to the end... and none of them ever won. Flo=villian (not Ian). I was disappointed last night.

I agree with monkyskunk, I would have stuck right to oh brother, and made it a foot race or bike race, I also think I might have been clever enough to walk backwards with the flags.

It's just luck, I think that if K&G had not see flo then they would have done the same thing as D&D.

Dissapointed to see the twins lose. But i love the show. that last segment was tense...

"What part of di-dimau don't you understand?"--Bart Simpson

--I can't believe Zach booked those plane tix for the Wonder Twins. Clearly they would've made it anyway, but COME ON!

--When Zach decided he didn't want to skip anyone in Flo's line, I really thought he was trying to get eliminated. And what about Flo still harping on him in the cab. It's over Flo--next leg. Flo will be an absolute WRECK for the last 2 legs of this race.

--I love how Terri and Ian & Ken and Gerard had all that energy this episode. K&G skipping through the airport will stick in my head as perfect examples of their attitude the whole race. I hope they win.

--This was by far the least annoying Ian's been the whole race. Keep in mind his words from early in the episode, "Pretty soon that alliance will bite them in the butt", came true!

--How laid is Drew going to get after this show?

--No way to predict who's going to win, but I think T&I have the momentum for now. And I'm glad to see 2 women in the hunt for the finals!

--Next season starts either end of January or early February from what I've seen...

Another week of Zach showing that he apparantly does not have any balls.

A relationship is all about give and take, and in this case Zach gives a lot and Flo just takes, so it all balances out.

I thought Zach had a lot of balls to just stay in his line, and not give into Flo's pyrotechnic display.

I agree Pat, it takes a real man to keep his cool in the face of something like Flo.

I find it very funny and ironic that Flo is probably the reason that the Twins got eliminated, giving a clue to Oh Brother.

So I'm moving this weekend and I don't think I'm going to have my TV hooked up by next Wed. Who is going to tape this for me?

I agree on Zach planning on telling Flo off after it's all over. Unfortunately I don't think he'll do it on camera unless he just snaps at her during the race, like everybody wants him to do. My ideal ending for them would be him just quitting the race in the middle of her bawling session, though he already had his chance to do that when they came in last and it wasn't an elimination point.

Ian may not be as bad as Flo, but I'd still be pissed if they won. He's only being less of a jerk now because things were going well. If they fall behind again, he'll go right back to blaming Teri.

Great episode. Can't wait for the finale.

K&G skipping thru the airport was hilarious. I kept thinking of dancing in the rain. Funny how Ian was doing it too. He was actually very civil in this episode and the thing at the end, asking for a kiss, was very sweet. He doesn't appear to be the jerk I thought he was in this episode, although Roto, you probably have a point about Ian turning on Teri when things start to go badly.

The MPBB (Male Pattern Baldness Brothers) are still my pick to win it all!

I have to wonder if Flo wanted the MPBB to get the "clue" before Team Zoolander because her and Zach have a better chance against the MPBB than Team Zoolander. Or... Flo just has big mouth and just screwed up when she blabbed.
