Like I said, it would be a real disadvantage. But aren't they usually starting off each leg of the race by leaving from a hotel? If it's 2 am it would be funny to see them knocking on guest rooms begging for money.

Loved the show last night. Was great to see New Zealand.

I have to ask my friend that lives there if she ever went sledging or in a Zorb now.
She'll either not know what it is(if she isn't in an area that has those activities) or will wonder how in the heck I know about them.

What was up with the praying this week. First Cowboy and Drew in Big Brother 5 and then Brandon and Nicole.

Does god have nothing to do then sit around and help out those poor reality tv show contestants? It would seem that way according to those people.

From everything we've learned about Colin over the course of this show, I'm a little worried for him. Who knows what the editing is doing to hype his character, but he seems a little unstable.
The preview for next week with him, as funny as it sounds with his high voice, scares me a little.

If he & Christie get married after their 50 free trips, courtesey AA.com, and have kids, I shudder at the thought.

Christie: "The baby has a wet diaper. The diaper needs to be changed."
Colin: "I'm changing it!!!"
Christie: "I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have asked you that way... Please change the diaper for me."
Colin: "Oh my god, I hate you." (crying)
Christie: "Just change it and let's go."
Colin: "I wish you would support me. I want out of this relationship."
Christie: "Maybe if you change the diaper while parachuting from a plan."

Later, in mid-air, baby screaming:
Colin: "Yeah! Whoo-whoo!! Yeah, baby! Awesome! Oh my god!! I'm glad I have expereince because this would not have been so easy if I hadn't. Woo-whoo" Flashes Hook'em Horns sign.
Christie (from ground below): "I just love seeing how excited he gets when he does this types of things. This is how he gets his rush.."

I could go on, but it's old now....

It showed Chip flipping through ALL the pictures, looking for the twins. It showed him grabbing the twins' picture, but then turning towards them and laughing saysing "nah, I'm not going to yield you guys." Then he hugged them and ran off.

When he got to the clue, he realized only two were left; his and Kims', and the twins'. THAT'S when he realized the bowling moms were ahead of them, and not behind them. He thought the bowling moms were behind the twins, and therefore didn't need to use the yield. When Chip realized the twins were the only team behind them, THAT'S when he regretted not using the yield.

Everyone got it? Good.

Good episode overall, both the sledging and zorb looked really fun. I liked the editing at the end where they made it out to look like the Twins and Chip/Kim were neck and neck, though the reality was several hours off.

The previews always seem to show Colin having a "breakdown" which usually amounts to about five seconds of frustration. Either way it hasn't slowed them down so far. I hope Chip's kindness doesn't come back to get him, like it almost did this time.

at Brandon praying for a miracle... guess it worked out for him. I like them overall though, no problems with them. The only team I'd hate to see win at this point would be the moms, not because they're unlikeable but because they seem to get lucky a lot. But then if they win it now they'll have earned it I guess.

I still can't believe that so many people were confused by the whole thing. I'm glad to see that a few of us knew what was going on.

I thought I remembered that previously, the producers stuffed the clue box with more envelops than racers so that they could not guess how many teams were behind them.
Spoiler:
sounds like next week, someone uses the yield ...

How strange. When I checked a week or so ago, the CBS website showed Season 6 premiering Saturday, 9/25/04 at 8:00 pm.

They bumped it back a week. I think that it was announced last week.

Well more "bad" news, according to TVGuide.com, Amazing Race #6 has been delayed to late October. (No date announced but it will still air on Saturday nights.) Seems CBS thinks us fans need a further break between #5 and #6 than the week or so we have right now. (BS! BS! BS! BS!)

So I'm guessing that they are counting the last leg as non-elim? Because next week has to be elim to get to the final 3.

Exactly!

Tuesday, Sept 14: one team gets eliminated, down to final three.

Tuesday, Sept 21: (two hour season finale): First forty-five mins or so, we will have a non elimination leg then the last hour or so, we will have a three team (hopefully) race to the end.
