I liked Steve and Linda but I agree that she didn't seem to be able to keep up with the rest too well. I think he kind of set the tone for her in the first episode when he berated her and she was very wounded by that. It was very sweet though when they both said last night how much they love each other and how money can't buy that. I would have loved to do the paraglide and the segue/segway challenges, way more than a bungee jump! Too bad that wind wasn't cooperating. I probably would have run down the mountain, too, not willing to wait. That dating couple- is English her 2nd language or something? Her boyfriend kept correcting her pronunciation or grammar all night. "AustRIA, not AustraLIA!" lol That was just one of them. When father/son couldn't open the gate, that was pretty funny. And when the father told the stunt guy "don't be scared", I thought the stunt brother was going to go off on him. He looked very offended by that jokey comment. I think the other brother is more laid back and not as snotty. It was a good show, all in all. I know I don't ever want to be clobbered by cakes. That could have been painful.

I have no real favorites. I like the cowboys, but don't like the mom and son duo. They get on my last nerve. Is it true they've done this three times? Why? I know he has a disability but she treats him like a baby and he acts like one. I'm probably the only one who likes Rachel and Brendon. I've watched her on BB, and she won that. She's whiny but they are both very smart and well educated and not mean.

Oh, I was so bummed out about who got eliminated! I just loved their synchronized senses of humor. "A watched pot never boils!" and they spin around and show it their backs, I howled! I think I need to go brush up on my division skills, just in case they're ever needed. I'm beginning to see what you all warned about with the "I'm just a girl" from Big Brother. Geez. Way to use your immaturity as a weapon and as an excuse! That's such a turn-off. "I'm sorry I'm not as smart as you, wa wah wah!" Ick. I'm changing my minds again about the guys from KY- while they are still too loud for my tastes, they are rocking the race and getting along very well at the same time. I wish I could say that about the Border Patrol guys, they bicker too much like kids. Too bad about the bus/window thing, that really seemed odd, wonder what caused that window to break. And it didn't look "fixed", either, so why the 2 hour delay? Good episode, though, I thought. You?

I thought differently, that AR set it up for Yale to win. The next-to-the-last heat was in a place where he knew the language? That penalty task certainly wasn't up to par as some I've seen in the past, as they were able to get to the next challenge before everyone else was done. So, it looked to me like AR wanted them to have it. I'd seen Jessica and Cody in BB and really did not like them there. But unless it was creative editing on AR, they were respectful of each other throughout this show and supportive. Unlike some contestants in the past who were nasty and sniping the whole way through. By the end, I was rooting for them!
