I distinctly heard Kynt and Vxysin ask the driver if he could take them, and he said "yes." But I don't know if the other "passenger" hopped in after the driver said he'd take K&V, or if he was already in there. I'm honestly surprised that the team that went home lasted this long. The team member who did the Road Block was so totally clueless and that's not the first time this person has been like that. I'll miss the entertainment value that is provided by that team...

According to Zap2It, Amazing Race is on tonight. I don't know which week it is. BTW, there's a football game on so it might not start at its regular time. Shirley

Oh MY...the Blonds are gone. I was happy to see them go. I did not like their bickering or, their negative vibe. I thought the good listener challenge would be easy...so how could it take the Grandson three hours to finish it? You're right flam, the grandpa is doing great. I just hope we don't have to see his thong again... The counting of the fence pickets was really funny. The Blonds were just dumb...they could not get out of their own way. They were so busy bickering that they could not decide how they would count or who was going to count. The short girl/tall boyfriend were a scream to watch. Again...she was soooo annoying. As far as I was concerned, the grandson won the prize on the counting...he counted stuff he was not sapose to but did not panic or start over...he had it all in his head. When he finished he went back and counted the pickets in the gate and subtracted them from his total...and got it right! Good for him! I was surprised to see that so many of them had a problem with the stilts. It looked easy to me but it must have been waaaay more difficult. Did only two teams complete the stilts?...the goths and the father/daughter? Did the TK & Rachel do the stilts? Why would the father take his shoes off? That looked like it would hurt your feet. Shirley, I'm with you re: the father and his hernia. Enough already. He is acting like a baby about it. Did TK & Rachel come in first? Which ever team it was got a great trip to Japan...lots of good stuff. It was a good show. And...the Blonds are gone! Who do you think will be the next to go? Grandpa & Grandson? Father & Daughter? I'll bet that one of those two teams come in last next week but, it will be a non-elimination round. What do you think? sooey

Amazing Race is the only "reality show" that I watch, the rest seem so stupid, contrived and banal. I'm a little disappointed that this show has in recent seasons has gone somewhat in the same direction as the other "reality shows" in choosing contestants seemingly based on how annoying and unlikable they are, especially when they choose contestants who were on one of these other shows. At the end of the episode at the close finish between three teams, I wished it had ended slightly differently, the "goat yoga" women were sniping at each other throughout, and grated on my nerves. The team that went home seemed positive, happy and upbeat and would likely have been more fun to watch.
