Amazing Race-LEG 7 (7/10)
 

On the next episode of The Amazing Race:

Oh, do we have pet nicknames for David & Jeff, Reichen & Chip, or Kelly & Jon?

Here, we are calling David & Jeff "Team Stealth" since they hardly get any screen time and we keep forgetting they are also in the race. :)

P.S. I noted that when the "dating 12 years, virgins" went onto the crowded train... that when they got off, the text should read "dating 12 years, no longer virgins." :eek:

Going for a ride on the Bangbus:D

LOL! That is funny! :lol:

Did one of the other teams call Reichen and Chip, "Chip and Dale"?

I'm putting my chips on Team Implants again. Sooner or later, that bet will pay off.

Kelly and Jon are insecure jerks, especially Kelly. I really hope they don't make it to the end, but I have a feeling they will. I'm not pulling for the virgins, but they haven't done anything vindictive to deserve the rassing that they get from K & J.

Go Clowns!

Well.. I'm voting for the Mole and her partner.

After this past leg, the blondes are seeming to be in it again. They sort of surprised me how well they worked together on screen the last leg.

I'm also not sure how R & C got the nickname chipendales...

Anyways... interesting leg 6 show and looking forward to leg 7.

Millie and Chuck get my vote.

David and jeff are playing smart as are chip and recihen and jon and kelly

No FF used yet for those 3 teams.

I have a feeling this will be a no elimantion pit stop.
I voted for team implants to get elimanted

Yeah, we're totally due for a non-elimination leg.

I started out really liking Kelly and Jon, but she's really grated on me over the last few episodes. She has no reason to be catty w/ Millie.

Speaking of Millie, I love the brief exchange she had with Chuck as they were getting on the train in India. It was a great scene and filmed just right. What a stark contrast in teammates--she plowed right in yelling for Chuck to follow and he just stood there. That contrast will not win them the race. *remembers Flo and Zach* Or maybe not.

Team Implants have a shot of positivity which should help them. This last episode was the first time I wasn't annoyed by either of them. Anyone have pics of these two in their modeling days, BTW?

Hopefully the teams will be aware of an impending non-elimination round. No one should waste a FF then.

Still having trouble rooting for someone, but Millie seems to lead the pack. Jon and Al are also getting less annoying. I'd still lean towards one of the 2 male teams winning.

Non-elimination leg? :confused: That certainly sounds lame.

Curious. Is there any way of knowing prior to the end that it is a "non-elimination" leg? And if not, it sounds very convenient as a tool for the producers to keep an interesting couple in the game. Maybe that is why we have not seen one yet.

That sounds like a good reason for their use.
Either that, or a way to stretch out the show.

According to the rules, the non-elimination rounds are predetermined to the beginning of the entire race, but the players do not know which legs are non-eliminations and which ones are not ahead of time, although the last clue usually says "the last team to check in will be eliminated" when it is an elimination round.
IIRC, there are 3 non-elimination legs.
I did not see TAR or TAR2, but I think last year, once the non-elimination legs started, I think the last clue of the leg stopped saying that......so then you wouldn't necessarily know until you got to the pit stop.....or maybe I just don't remember correctly.

I think they are refering to Chipendales .... the male stripper show. Those two could be models.

Well I'd rather have 13 episodes than 10. I think it works well for several reasons. The viewers get to know the last 5 or so teams a lot better. AND....it makes the race more physically gruelling for the remaining teams by dragging it out longer...they really start to get tired by the end.

The description of the next episode is giving me flashbacks about Flo whining about refusing to get on the train if it didn't have AC.

Non-elimination Legs
 

In TAR1 & TAR2, there was 1 less team in each race and 1 more non-elimination leg. The non-elims were Legs 6, 8, 10 & 12.

In TAR3, a team was added (making 12 teams total) and one non-elimination leg was taken away. The non-elims were Legs 8, 9 & 12.

Since TAR4 also started with 12 teams, it'll be interesting to see if the producers keep the same non-elimination legs this time, or whether they vary them to throw the teams off.

Although the teams don't know it's a non-elimination leg (until they get the last clue and it doesn't say "The last team to check-in will be eliminated"), as a viewer, it's been easy to tell.

I am hoping for the Mole and her Claustrophobe fiance to be eliminated next time around. They get on my nerves, particularly Chuck - he is an indecisive wuss.

Kelly and John haven't been too bad the last couple of eps, but they will have another fight sooner or later.

I like the new and improved team of Tian and Jaree.

I think I am starting to root for the Clowns. Or David and Jeff.

I voted for Millie & Chuck but only because the mole seems to be growing bigger and is getting kinda scary.

The Mole is going down. Chuck can't take much more of her bitching.

I don't think he can take any more "hot and tiny places" either. I loved it when he just stared at the train after the Mole dove on it. I was hoping he would miss it - damn bastard had to barely squeeze on it.

I knew that would get your goat. Last season the eventual winners were saved by one of these legs.

not "Chip & Dale"

Chippendales, male strippers ala The full monty
