How in the world does it take eight hours to roll hay?

I thought seeing Gramps sweating bullets and running out of breath over his inability to count accurately made it more interesting.

I enjoyed Lena/Kristy.

It is amusing that people are starting to speak up, loud enough for Jonathon to hear, about how annoying and abusive he is.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo ! I just lost one of my favorite teams !
Oh well. At least they made me proud and kept on rolling until night without giving up.

Wow. Over a hundred bails and 8 hours. I feel bad for them.

What was with Kris/Jon giving the leg victory (and cruise prize) to Hayden/Aaron???

Well, that sucked. Surely didn't want to see them leave. So many other truly undeserving teams.

My wife pointed out how Kris/John won last week's trip. Maybe they simply decided to let Hayden and what's his name take this one?

Pretty bummed about Lena/Kristy.

In regards to the poll, when did it ever make sense to think Jonathan and Victoria would be going? Sure, everyone hates him but they are pretty good racers who seem to get the job done. I don't think they'll be gone just yet.

I still vote Jonathon as the biggest ASSHOLE in the history of tv. he needs to to strung up by his nuts and dragged through the next 5 rounds.

They really missed the boat with the casting of Jonathan. In the past with Colin and the like I actually enjoyed hating them. With Jonathan he just disgusts me.

Lena--yeah she hung in there which is commendable, but she was obviously doing something wrong. 100 hay bales, there definitely had to be a clue in one of those. With the way she was ramming her shoulder into it she couldn't really keep her eyes looking in the right spot to find the clue. Did you notice how the fastest teams to find the clue unrolled the bale very neatly without tearing into it? Lena should have been able to watch other teams and figure it out. Nice to look at, but not very smart.

They should call this season "The Amazing Race - Scandanavia"

I think the cameraperson for Hayden and Aaron should get a raise. Anyone else notice that the focus of his/her camera is Hayden's chest whenever she is reading something? It's a subtle close shot that pans out quickly. God bless him/her. Shots of the other teams when reading instructions/clues don't seem to focus so squarely on their chests.

Or, maybe it's just my focus....

Why the HELL would you COUNT instead of BUILD...besides the fact that you could put a desk together in 15 minutes, but if you FUCK THE DESK UP, you can SEE IT AND START OVER!!!! With the counting, you have absolutly no way of knowing until your done.

66...68...80...82

damn that guy can count. :)

The look on the official was priceless when that happened. She just smiled and let him go.


Oh, and I GOT to move to Sweden. All the chicks were smokin' hot!

Haven't read any of the posts since the ep aired...

...Well, that ending sucked. No-good pieces of shit like Jonathan (who makes his wife do the tough Road-block) get to go on in The Race, while one of the greatest women in the history of this event has to go home (Lena). She spent over eight hours out there - What rotten luck! Obviously, I am a bit annoyed that one of my favorite teams are going home. :( Phil should have changed the rules and made it a non-elimination leg based on that beautiful woman's effort alone. ;)

I can't believe how completely moronic some of these teams are - who in their right mind would count all of that shit over building a damn desk. -ohbfrank-

Kris/Jon are my favorites right now - they are likable, they work great together and don't get frustrated w/ one another. Hayden and Aaron aren't too bad either - their cameraman has a thing for her chest!

My wife and I had a chuckle about that, too. I hope it continues.

Damm, hot chicks are gone :(

Maybe if the task had been a roll in the hay she would have done better?
Hayden packed plently of spaghetti strap belly shirts to keep down the weight of her pack and keep up the viewer interest. :)
That ice bar sure was a jumpin' joint. Oh well, with no NHL this year at least it's something happening on ice.

IIRC, wasn't it first thing in the morning?

8 hours -ohbfrank-

I couldn't believe anybody would picking counting either, made no sense. I'm sure Ikea liked the long commercial for them though. ;)

My pick from last week (Kris and Jon) are still doing well. Oh, yes, kudos to the cameraperson following Hayden around.

There were 270 bales of hay that contained 20 clues. While the chances are pretty high that one of those bales had a clue in it, it is not necessarily true.

WTF is up with Jonathon? Did anyone else see him almost give Victoria a backhand slap in the cab, with her flinching? It makes me wonder what goes on at home with them?

For the first time, I'm pretty pissed about the show. The Stormin' Mormons did nothing wrong, they were eliminated out of sheer dumb luck. The Pizza Brothers had the same problem last season with the chocolate contest, but it wasn't at the end of the leg so they had time to catch up with the other teams.

I hope they make a rule change next season if they have this kind of challenge again, so that after X amount of bales unrolled, you get the clue automatically.

Can anyone confirm what Kristy said about the number of bales left right before Phil showed up?

I think she said there were "three or four" left. Which, if correct, means that there must have been at least eight or nine clues that were unrolled but not found.
