1. Mark/Bopper- I don't think they were tools. They are the sunshine of this season's race.

2. Nary/Jamie- Pretty cool chicks. Lvoed the digs at the "Border Patrol" officers.

3. Rachel/Dave- No change in them just less screen time.

4. Vanessa/Ralph- Here because he was trying to calmly talk to Brenchel about the "finger" issue. And she told the truth about you-know-who.

5. Art/JJ- Why are you trying to mess with the "teachers"? It doesn't matter what they do for a living. Shut up and race!!

6. Brendan/Rachel- Can you guys try Survivor next and get lost (completely lost)on a remote island? I mean so lost that you can't be found not even by Art and JJ, or Nary and Jamie, or the CIA. Then you can live happily ever after in your own delusional world.

I found this episode so entertaining that I thought I'd do my first love list! I may be the only one, but I love the conflict and bickering...it cracks me up. I think hubby and I watched the airport scene three times to catch all the jabs and insults.

1. Bopper/Mark - They are mildly annoying at times, but their constant joy and amazement at everything is endearing and I hope they win!

2. Vanessa/Ralph - Unlike most, I find her hilareous. Her one liners and jabs at Sparkles are great. She may be a bit of a "mean girl" but for pure amusement I hope they last a while.

3. Nary/Jamie - Totally UTR and with the amount of air time in this episode were the obvious pick for last place. Don't understand the lying about their jobs but laughed when they kept it up to torture Art/JJ.

4. Rachel/Dave - These two are ok, but they really don't seem to like each other much. His arrogant attitude would drive me crazy.

5. Art/JJ - I really wanted to like them, but they've made it hard the last few episodes. Don't understand creating drama with Nary/Jamie, but after a long flight and even longer line at the airport (I've been there it took us over two hours to get through!) maybe they were just bored.

6. Brendan/Rachel - She's whiney, obnoxious, and a total drama queen. I don't think she's made it through an episode without crying about something! I didn't watch Big Brother so I have no prior opinion, but this girl is a nut! I hate people who dish it out but can't take it. And why does he put up with her, he seems like a normal guy.

Welcome to the Lvoe List!!

He is slightly more tolerable than her, an enabler for sure but "normal" is not the word I would use to describe him. He can't be "normal" dealing with her.

1)Nary/Jamie (3,3,skipped,1,1,1) - Getting along great and just plowing through the tasks. I wasn't a fan of lying about your profession at first, but seeing how it's bothering the other teams makes it seem like a decent strategy.
2)Rachel/Dave (2,1,s,6,5,3) - While I dislike their bickering, I think they're slowly getting better about it, at the very least being more respectful towards each other.
3)Bopper/Mark (8,7,s,5,4,4) - Enjoying the experience and staying out of the fray.
4)Art/JJ (1,2,s,3,3,2) - Stop trying to stir the pot. But I do like how you get along as a team.
5)Vanessa/Ralph (7,6,s,7,6,5) - She's kind of mean and whiny, but her confessionals about Rachel do seem spot on.
6)Brendon/Rachel (10,9,s,8,7,6) - Yeah. You were entirely the victim in that exchange.

Philiminated: No one. I'm okay with that this week, because I like the team that stayed.

a big ole Welcome! to lauralea - glad you stopped lurking and jumped in!

1)Bopper & Mark - Bopper still annoys me but they don't fight and respect all the people and places they have visited.

2)Nary & Jamie - Too often near or at last place for me to keep you in first place on my list. I hope you survive next week.

3)Rachel & Dave - The bickering is unbecoming but other teams are worse for me.

4)Brendon & Rachel - I could have a three way tie for last place. I don't like any of the last three teams. I put these two slightly ahead of the others because I think they are being targeted by the teams below solely for having been on BB.

5)Vanessa & Ralph - It's the Amazing Race, teams are going to run and try to get ahead of other teams. I doubt we would have seen as much attitude if it was any other team who brushed past them.

6)Art & J.J. - In this last leg they were complete jerks. No need to start trouble with Nary & Jamie, instigate Vanessa & Ralph and accuse Brendon & Rachel of "following" them (everyone arrived at the same travel agency but somehow only Brendon & Rachel were following you?). Hope they are U-turned next week.

Philiminated: No one. A NEL that was obvious from the start.

Capn2patch put me in motion!
