No Votes? Unless you don't know the names of the teams? I voted Michael and Kevin. I like them, but I think the father is running on fumes right now.

I don't know about that. He had the right idea when he told the cab driver to take them to the arctic. Just forget about all the other stuff and grab the next cab to the end of the race and they may already be wienners.

Pad in Eastern time zone. 60 Minutes began at 7:17 EDT instead of 7:00 in Detroit. CBS will run late all night.

I don't know what it is, but I've found myself completely bored with this season.

The blond home-shopping girl is one of the most annoying people ever on this show. She never shuts up.

Got to say that's impressive from Nat or Kat to eat the meat having been Vegetarian for 22 years.
Also Vicki killed Nick on the Bikes - that was some hilariousness there. You want to walk?

I'm feeling good about my Nat and Kat (my team in the pool), they both faced their fears this week and they didn't get held up at all. Usually The Amazing Race will milk all the footage they have of a team dealing with their fears but they had nothing to show on these two. Nat's fear of heights was addressed with her crying on the gondola and Kat sat right down and started digging into the head.
Hell yeah girls!

If the piercings team had even a modicum of intelligence between them they would be contenders to win this thing.
I liked when the piercings guy went on and on about his BMX experience, before getting smoked by his girlfriend.

Also the piercings guy thinking that they were in 2nd, only to find they were 2nd to last.
Also big props to Gary for kicking some ass on the rope climb, for an older fat guy he didn't let up.

But I have to give props to the girl (Vicky?) -- at least she's a tough competitor. Unlike her sad-sack partner who's as useless physically as he is mentally.

Even if they've never seen the race before, the rules of the fast forward are laid out explicitly in the clue. Then, in the post-leg interview they were still clueless. There's really no excuse.

Phil with the people's eyebrow! 
Wished the doctor's would have made out with each other. As well as the volleyball team at the end of the mat.

Not that I "liked" them beyond being physically attractive people, but the volleyball girls fell victim to the no bunching in this episode. As long as one team didn't make a disastrous mistake, they were doomed from the start of the leg.

Yep. She won my support with that. Most other shows you see the whiny vegetarian sob, pout, pitch a fit, whatever if they even have to think about eating meat. She was a trooper, did what she had to do and then probably had serious squirts for the next two days.

I haven't eaten beets for thirty years. But I'm pretty sure I could do it without needing to tell everyone that I haven't eaten beets in 30 years. Applies to dozens of other food products as well.

I'm glad team volleyball got the boot.
Chad, Mr. Notre Dame, and Mr. Piercings are assholes.
Vicki kicked ass!
Go Nat and Kat!!!
