Thanks for heads up. Football is still on here but is in the final minutes of the 4th qtr at approx 7:10 eastern. Hopefully no overtime.

Missed it cause of the ballgame, last week.
Messed up my dvr!

No game tonite, I think!

And it was a good one! I'm not sorry to see the blondes go, they were too bickery and fairly inept.

The "count down or step up" challenge seemed pretty easy, but it sure gave some of them a hard time. I was cracking up at "87,88,89,100." lol Man, those two are running hot and cold, "I hate you, you're the nastiest thing, oh wait, I'm so proud of you, you're so wonderful!" MAKE UP YOUR MINDS! But don't say it out loud, say it in your head. rofl Sheesh. (We used to play on stilts when we were kids, so I think that's the one I would have chosen.)

The annoying Dad is back to his old self, he's trying to change (and I think that's great, he really needs to) but he's still bugging his daughter and apparently the travel agent thought he was a bit much, too. I'm glad they're still in it, I like her a lot, but I'm getting a bit sick of all her "I love you so much, Daddy"s. It seems so forced and unneeded. And a lot of the teams do that, why?

Grandpa's doing great! Grandson- not so great. 3 hours to find a salon? I'm surprised they recovered from that. Here's one team that isn't spouting "I love you!" all the time. lol

The Goths are still going strong, I can actually see them winning this, they seem to get along really well and they try so hard. I'm liking 'em.

I can't wait until next Sunday. I can't believe I waited all these years to watch this show, I think this is the 4th race we've watched, maybe the 5th. What a fool I was! I should have listened to Summer better, she tried to tell me.

I didn't exactly applaud at the gals getting eliminated, but I did give sort of a sigh of relief. I can only take so much bickering. I also roared with laughter at the gals counting.

And I think if I hear about Dad's hernia one more time, I'm going to climb into my tv and give him a double hernia.

I didn't watch the first years of the show either. I was bored one night and had heard so much about it on here, I decided to watch and have been hooked ever since. I'd like to see another family one.

I would whack my partner in the head if He counted out loud. I can't believe anyone would be so stupid.

Main Man and I were amazed to see that everyone had such a hard time on stilts. As kids, we played on stilts all the time. But, that was before the computer days, when toys were basics.

I'm with the Goth's and 2nd choice is the brother and sister team.

I'm glad you and Woody are enjoying the show Flamey. I was hoping you would.

I agree, the Goths are really surprising me. I'm happy for them doing so well. Looks like the sister and brother team are at odds next week.

I know father has a hernia, he reminds us often enough. I kinda wish he's stuff a sock in it. :) I too and tired of "I love you daddy". I don't know why she feels the need to reinforce her feelings for him so much. Is he trying to convince herself of him. I just hope he keeps respecting her efforts.

I would have opted to do the stilts too. That counting with all of the distractions would have made me postal. LOL

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

I like TK and brother/sister and the Goths. My grandson is the most athletic kid I've ever seen for his age and he had trouble with stilts at a country fair this fall. I would have counted, but I get distracted very easily so can imagine myself going postal!

I'm glad the blonds lost. What goes around comes around! Right now I'm rooting for the goth couple, then the grandfather/grandson. I can't handle the father/daughter. He's so annoying. I would have done the counting (I could have blocked out the distractions). I have no balance (and osteoporosis), so the stilts would not have worked for me.

I've been watching since Season 4, and I'm hooked.
