From the previews looks like my team is in for a rough time next week. Hope that doesn't foretell them being last.

And the Amazing Race ends another relationship.

"I hate you. I hate you. I hate you with a passion"

Probably wasn't a real good idea to call her a bitch this episode either even if that was exactly what she was behaving like.

LOL, how true.
However, lots of couples say they are going to break up, and you know that they should, but when all is said and done, they just talk about how much stronger their relationship is. I have to laugh.

Well the story behind that couple was that they were on shakey ground to start. Apparently he's been unfaithful in the past and she has trust issues with him for it. Yet they're still together. So if it does ruin their relationship, all it did was probably force the inevitable. The seem like one of those couples who are both are subject to big peaks and valley's emotionally that leads to that love hate relationship.

bump

bigtmac19 · 12-10-2007, 02:56 PM

Well my team survived to race another week.

Bobblehead · 12-10-2007, 03:02 PM

I was hoping this would be a non-elimination.

Guess my team is out.

Sylvanfan · 12-31-2007, 02:41 PM

Well last night Kynt and Vyxsin or however you spell their names get eliminated. What cost them was not being able to get to where their U-Turn was in time and than Kynt not collecting his receipts. Too bad they were somewhat entertaining. My team currently is in first. They don't sweat things, but take a lot of wrong flights. Still they've done pretty well, apparrently they go off on their own in the next leg. I think it will be non elimanation as they always have 3 teams race for the million in the final. Will be interesting to see I guess.

SarichFan · 12-31-2007, 02:41 PM

Yup, my team is toast.

Can't believe they didn't U-Turn team "Gosh" but oh well.

Yeah, they should have U-Turned the team they knew was close to them. Gambling that the other team was behind them proved to be a bad move. They got too caught up in trying to win "clean".

bigtmac19 · 01-07-2008, 07:34 AM

Well, I'm still in it. Had actually missed this show the last couple of times it may have been on. Sort of forgot about it??

Sylvanfan · 01-07-2008, 07:37 AM

Well my hippy and his girl friend get to stick around and run another leg. But other than that I think they're toast. They just weren't very brilliant with their flights, other than that they've been pretty good racers. They don't get too flustered and do seem to work together well. They'll need a couple of holdups to even up the pack and than hope someone else really screws up.

DId I miss it or did they ever explain what exactly happened about their flights. They did leave before everyone else?
It's too bad, because they are really good together as a team.
But 3 hours behind, plus their penalty will be really hard to make up.

Fobby · 01-07-2008, 07:57 AM

They had 2 stops over while the other team only had 1. What they should have checked is arrival time instead of departure time...

Sylvanfan · 01-07-2008, 10:40 AM

Yeah, they took the earliest flight out of Mumbai....they forgot to even check when it arrives. They had two connections and a longer layover while other teams had one. Just not doing a thourough check. It's not the first time they've done this either.

bigtmac19 · 01-07-2008, 10:43 AM

Okay, I missed that. Not a smart move when getting this close to the end.

Maybe next leg everyone's flight takes off at the same time, so they are all even again.

ernie · 01-07-2008, 10:57 AM

I think they did ask if it that flight was the earliest to arrive and was told it was but they never bothered double checking before they boarded the flight.

Either way it was a potentially a big blunder. Luckily there will be a bunching point immediately starting the next leg....

yep there must be, certainly the previews imply that they are back in with the other teams at some point (but still have their speed bump penalty)

bigtmac19 · 01-13-2008, 08:35 PM

Oh well, I'm out. That sucks.

Russic · 01-14-2008, 10:39 AM

i'm not in this pool, but I am in another one. Last night's episode was sweet . . . secured my second victory in as many seasons. Hooray for dysfunction!
