See? Everyone laughed when the old couple a few seasons ago wore disposable underpants.
Now who's laughing?

Not me!

You would think this never could happen to someone who doesn't wear underwear and is afraid of water.

As soon as she went into the permenent port-a-pottie, this came to my little brain and hasn't left yet.

Lyrics from song "Pi$$ It All Away" by the band Puddle of Mudd:

What I feel it is real
What I do it?s the truth
When I drink I can?t think
When I use I need more
When you're weak I can't speak
Close your eyes and taste this wine
The cork removed less purified
I throw everything away that you say
Erase everything that you fake
What I feel it's a sin
Tell the truth do not lie
Make a wish it will come true
One way streets one track mind
Open up and see the light
One million ways to hypnotize
I throw everything away that you say
Erase everything that you fake
Erase everything that you fake

Pi$$ it Pi$$ it all away

Pi$$ it Pi$$ it

Hilarious Dabo!!!! I just could NOT believe my eyes!!! Just pee in your costume! Unbelievable! I'm glad she didn't soil that poor cabbie's taxi, but she could have just peed while running too! As others' have said - who cares! It's for a million dollars PLUS she had that big costume on - few if any people would have seen it. Hell, she could have just peed on the mat! (That would have made for a dramatic check in!) What a frickin' stupid move!!!!!

Cara did power that challenge and made up for their most recent horrific Ugly American meltdown, stand in one place & not even trying to find the U-turn, past 3 wasted hours. Cara & Jaime do not deserve to be in the final 3 and the only reason they are there is because of Cara's focus on that challenge. No matter how I feel about LaKisha and Jen's manipulative personalities, etc. they were much better racers. (Well, they were. . . !)

Not that I have an opinion one way or another ;)

I have to agree. I love Cara and can't stand Jaime, but they aren't a solid team, they've just managed to keep up. Kisha and Jen, despite their unpleasant aspects, were a solid team until this two-part Superleg; and Kisha may not be blaming Jen but it is obvious Jen caused their elimination.

There are 'extra' clips on the TAR website - un-aired footage.
In one, when Jamie & Cara get to the mat, Phil tells them (before the comment that they have a chance to be the first all female team to win TAR) that "right at this moment, Jen is probably still in the toilet"; that "she stopped to use the toilet". They all have a good laugh.

He also says that Cara finished the roadblock in about 7 minutes where the other teams took about 30 minutes.

At least on Big Brother the contestants will pee themselves rather than get off the waterbed and lose. They know how to win a reality show while not taking pee breaks.

Maybe she had to do more than pee, if you catch my drift...

got them eliminated!

I guess the question is would you pee yourself on tv for a million dollars. If she didn't mention it at all and just did it would anyone have known right away? Her costume could have made it a little less obvious. What a way to go.

So let's say her bladder was really full and was about 2 cups.

So that means her pee costs $62 500 an ounce.

I always thought things in China were cheap. I guess I know how they stay in business - the world's most expensive toilet.

I think if she was my partner, I might possibly have had to kill her!! After 30 days, ten continents, blah, blah, and she has to take a pee break? It was the pit stop, for cripe's sake. Off to the hotel for a shower and rest, not off to the airport for a 20 hour flight. Her outfit would have covered it, and no one would be the wizer. Dumb move doesn't even begin to describe it!

I think I would have broken in, and dragged her sorry butt to the pit stop. Well, she will be infamous.

I'm just totally impressed that they lost only by seconds especially since they had the U-Turn to do. Sorry to say, she'll have to live with that mistake for a long time.

We have a saying at work, it goes like this:

"Some is not a number."

"Seconds apart" could mean almost anything from two seconds apart to a googol of seconds apart. We really don't know how far apart Kisha and Jen were from checking in from when Cara and Jaime checked in.

What we do know is that Kisha and Jen wasted a lot of time on this leg in both episodes. Except for having to complete the U-Turn task all the time they wasted was due to Jen.

As posted over on the East Coast Spoiler thread...

Over on CBS's Amazing Race site, there is a video that shows Cara and Jaime talking to Phil on the pit stop mat. The video is 1:33 long and there is still no sign of Kisha/Jen at the end of that video.

I'd say it was an absolute minimum of 1:50 or so as the 1:33 video started after Phil has already told the girls they're team number three (adding a few seconds before the 1:33) plus at least a few seconds for C/J to clear out as we didn't see them during K/J's approach to the mat.

So the "literally seconds apart" was totally for dramatic purposes. And it's possible that C/J would still have beaten K/J to the mat even if there was no bathroom break since I don't think it would take more than 2 minutes for Jen to do her business knowing it's a race to the finish. The producers and Phil played it up because it made for great TV.

fhew... that's better! sorry, i was in the can. look at all the messages that have piled up!

anyway, i noticed from the past two legs that jen is quite the baby who has probably not been held accountable for anything because it has always been done for her. i can understand her water fear but she could not pull herself together for the longest time. she sobbed for who knows how long in the hallway when she could have rallied and went on to the other task. then when it came to eating the "food", she just took ity bity bites while cara and jaime were there. ok, eat slow when there's no else there (because it would be gross) but you better believe that as soon as I see another team arrive, I would be shoving that whole starfish down my throat. cara certainly understood what was at stake and ate everything in 7 minutes. but there's jen... nibble, nibble, nibble. then the whole pee break... well, there isn't much to say that hasn't been said already. stupid stupid stupid!!

ahh man! i gotta go pee again!

It looked to me like Jen was eating the whole starfish - outside and all! She commented that it was hard and brittle. That's why the tiny bites. At least that's the way I saw it.

We saw Victor & Margie break the starfish open and eat the inside - returning the shell to the cook.
I didn't see how Cara ate it.
But Jen's plate looked almost completely clean.
