The other teams were talking about u-turning Team Zen and Nicole and Victor, but Rachel handled it badly.

Rachel said that they would tell Nic and Vic about the u-turn chat in order to get Nic and Vic to want to u-turn team fun. Rachel and Elissa already had an alliance with Nic and Vic, they were trying to play both sides and got called out on it instantly. At least that's how I saw it.

DWilson

Really, it just comes down to personalities and reputations. Rachel likes tension and conflict and she was trying to use the information to help their game by pitting Nicole and Victor against "Team Fun" . Nicole hates confrontation (she was never very aggressive during "Big Brother") and she and Victor "know" Rachel and they didn't trust her. Rachel had useful information for them, but they didn't want it. Fine. But Rachel shouldn't have argued about it and caused the scene at the finish line, -that makes them look bad and will probably bite them in the next episode with the u-turn.

Didn't like Phil's announcement regarding non-elimination legs. I'd rather find out each week.

Did any one catch the name of the last pit stop? " the Grand Hotel" I think the same one from the 70's Deep Purple song where the
Rolling Stones were playing

Red Dog

I can't imagine any man wanting to be with her. Beyond annoying.

I liked the public vote on the U Turn.

Did anyone else catch Chris and Brett calling Rachel and Elissa the "O'Reilly" sisters?

I'm guessing Rachel played nice at the Pit Stop because she's hoping the show will bring her back for a 4th time.

Based on what I knew about him from Survivor, I figured from the beginning that Chris had the skill sets to do really well on this. They just needed to survive some of the beginning learning curve legs (more difficult in a returnee season). Now, I think if they had given him a better partner he could actually win this race, but Bret will still be the death of them.

Bill Needle

More likely the death of Bret. I can almost hear his fellow officers yelling at their TVs for him to stop reminding the audience that he is a Boston cop.

I wonder how many crimes have gone unsolved when Bret was the one searching for evidence?

Has anyone ever switched challenges three times at a single detour? Absolutely crazy ... they fully deserved to go home.

How many episodes are left? Survivor gets to do 2-hour finales but I don't remember if this show does. Other teams have to be seeing Tyler and Korey as a massive threat (having won 4 legs in row). Previews for next week show:

DWilson

There are three episodes left. The show ends in two weeks with back-to-back episodes. It will follow the second episode of "Big Brother", which starts the night before.

Nice to finally have a leg where they have to jockey for better flights.

I assume they have been putting them all on the same flights to cut costs.

Bill Needle

Totally agree. That used to be a big part of the race.

I suppose it saves a ton of production cost since when they are all on the same flight there is nothing to follow. The flying is most always at the very beginning of a leg so once they finish one leg they can set up shop in the next city and wait for them to get off the plane they are all on.

I thought you could see in the cab after the gnome debacle that old Colin was still in there, he just has a lot better control of him.

brainee

Team Fun is done I don't know if it's better to lose this way (making a clear mistake in not checking the eggs) than losing due to a fluke (like a bad cabbie). I suspect losing when you have no one else to blame is probably best.

I got a laugh at how the racers were creating chaos for everyone else in the canals. For as much as the editing for this show makes it seem like all the locals love it when the racers come to town, I have to think a number of them share the sentiments of the person who shouted "What is wrong with you people?!?"

I don't feel any strong rooting interests (either for or against anyone) going into the finale. Anyone can certainly win. At this point, the show is done with u turns, right?

TheGuy

These last two legs have been great. Great leg design.

Bill Needle

Victor and Nicole for me, but I doubt they actually pull it off. Nicole will finally be too much for Victor to overcome at some point.
