CBS' website says, "Every little decision makes a world of difference when several Teams panic and sprint to the finish line in an all-out race to avoid elimination." With Teri/Ian figured so prominent in the pre-view, I think they may be safe. Ken/Gererd are least likely then to win a sprint. We'll miss ya - your pratfalls were great!

They haven't really shown that they're a great team yet. With bunching most likely occuring this team is toast.

The Cubs win the World Series!Cubbies Win!Cubbies Win!

Not sure why, but I think this team was originally edited to be the idiots of the game. After last week's surprise 1st place finish, they redeemed themselves. I think this may be the end of their storyline. Dumb twins prove they aren't so dumb, then fall behind and get eliminated.

Allthough, personally, I would like to see them stay in the race.

From the way it looks, Teri/Ian and Andre/Damon are so far behind that one of them has to go this week; I can't imagine anything that would give them a chance to bunch up.

Well, I picked Teri/Ian to go last week and just missed thanks to Dennis/Andrew botching their way out of Mexico, and this week I'll say that once again Ian survives on Teri's effort and the "married parents" finish next-to-last.

If Teri/Ian get the FF, which they probably need to go for, they could stick around for a while, sorta like Karyn and Lenny in AR1.

FF to Andre/Damon. That leaves TI on the way home

pleeeeese make them go away

I agree with AK that the cop and firefighter and these two are waaaay behind.

What I do not agree with is that T/A get the FF, from the previews I think it shows T/A not going for it. I could be wrong, but I think Andre and Damon use it.

I don't believe it. I just want it.

Then I want her to watch it with her friends so that somebody can point out to her not everybody puts up with that crap.

1st- Aaron and Arianne

Looks like it's too obvious for T&I to go, even though they deserve it. J&J are pretty far behind also, and they may lose this time.

I just don't like them(him) and I want them (him) gone.

I hope Teri/Ian go, but I just know that they're going to stick around at least one more week just to piss me off when I write my E5 summary.

Please,oh please, oh please, oh please, with sugar on top let it be Teri and Ian....I can't stand another week of Ian. Please let Teri leave him stranded somewhere.
(I'm finally jumping on this bandwagon...)

"Never doubt that a small, group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." Margaret Mead

it's gonna be incredible to see Ian the terrible pull ahead...

-=J=-

They said it'd be a surprise ending and these two didn't have much character development...

Andre and Damon go for the ffwd or whoever was playing soccer...

Aaron/Arianne (Lifelong Friends) with a great finish yet again!

This week’s evidence:

We have Ian talking about how “the gloves are off” and Aaron talking about how Ian is the definition of ugly American.

We have Heather and Eve crashing into a pole.

We have Andre and Damon dropping a crate of wine.

We have shots of Flo and Zach, Aaron and Arianne, and Teri and Ian in a hurry at night.

We have one team taunting the others at an airport which causes another team to have issues with them the whole episode.

-------------------------------

Well…it looks like the 2 teams that have issues with each other are the Bunkers and Aarionne. Aaron talks about how Ian is an ugly American, but how would he know? They haven’t really been in proximity of each other (except for the layovers) the entire race. That combined with the footage of both teams (as well as Flo/Screech) in a very big hurry at night (as if they were headed to the pit stop) leads me to one conclusion: the Bunkers catch up to the pack.

Andre and Damon could be going for the FF. The VO on the CBS.com promo talks about them “losing their lead”. This could either refer to their lead over the Bunkers for last, or their lead by going for the FF. I’m going to go with FF.

The Heather/Eve wreck looks like a mere fender bender and probably won’t have an effect on the outcome.

We also have the promise of a “surprise ending” where “every little decision makes a world of difference”. Hmmm, do I smell time penalty that causes someone to be eliminated?

This week is very difficult since it looks like there will be bunching at the airport. If the Bunkers go, it would hardly be a surprise, no matter how it goes down. Neither would it be a surprise if Andre/Damon are last to arrive. No, it’s gotta be someone from the front of the field.

The Zoolanders look like this episode is tailor made for them. I don’t think they’re going anywhere. Ken and Gerard are a possibility, but they seem to be groomed for the narrator role. I think we’re talking about Aarionne or Flo/Screech. Since they’re playing up the will they/won’t they angle on Flo/Screech, I don’t think they’re going just yet. Aarionne, on the other hand have gotten a good deal of face time. They’ve been quoted as chasing the Zoolanders, and it would be a heck of a surprise if they lose out…especially if it’s due to a time penalty for a rules violation.

So I’m going to go out on a limb and say Aaron and Arianne…………..you’re the last team to arrive. I’m sorry to tell you, you’ve both been eliminated from the race.

Hey, how's this for really sticking one's neck out. Since no one else picked them, I thought I would. If they're not gone this week, they should at least make it to the top four.Sure we all want IT booted tres badly, but the "surprise ending" bit puts me on guard and this couple's relationship has been given more air time than the other dating couples. The fast forward goes to Team 911, and by the grace of airport bunching, Ian and Teri catch up with the other teams.

But then again it could be sequesterville for Ken & Gerard because of their close ties with DnA. Damn it, it's really anyone's guess.

These guys haven't shown any exceptional skill or brain power. They aren't given too much face time either. They should be the next to go.

"...you're the last team to arrive. I'm sorry, but you've both been eliminated from the race."

This is really just a guess. A&A, A&D, T&I, and H&E are safe because they've been featured too prominently in the previews. That leaves one of the other five, and I picked them out of a hat.

PLease for the love of God, get these boring people off my TV

Because they're barely on the show right now

Why? Only because Teri/Ian wouldn't be a surprise, and these 2 jealous, whiney, obnoxious fools are my second most despised team.

Hope the Twins give em the ole raspberry on their way out.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Please for the love of humanity get him off our tv's! I did love how she told him off last week though.

Tough week to call. I agree with AyaK and Fester that Terri and her Master probably stick around since they seem to be interacting with Flo/Zach and Aaron/Arianne. My guess is that they win the FF and we have to deal with the Terrible Twosome for another week. Logically, the next to go should then be the next to last team (who have gone the last couple weeks). This time that's Andre and Damon. Still, we are supposedly in for a surprise ending. John Vito and Jill have gotten almost no character development despite being, in my opinion, one of the best looking teams, and competing way up near the front early on. They've started staggering backwards, and I personally see no end in sight.

Alt. pick: Andre and Damon

This is post #36, summarizing 35 prior votes.

Terri/Ian..............13
Andre/Damon.........7
Aaron/Arianne........3
John Vito/Jill..........3
Michael/Kathy........3
Derek/Drew...........2
Ken/Gerard............2
Flo/Zach...............1
Heather/Eve...........1

Does anybody really care about my reasoning? I haven't been right once this season.

edited to tthank our official summary writer Pepe and our unofficial summary writer AMAI for their hard work - great job you two!!

The Big Idjut and his wife (aka Teri and Ian) will go for the FF.

Andre/Damon get the FF.

I thought it was really tough this week. I almost put Andre/Damon, but I do think they will go for the FF--they seem to have the basic strategy down in this game. (Although they seem to have navigation issues) I also thought about Derek/Drew and John Vito/Jill, but decided to go with Ken/Gerard at the last minute.

They've been hyping the surprise ending too much so I don't think that it's gonna be Ian the Teri-ble who's gonna be eliminated

I'm picking Ken and Gerrard as the team who's most likely to finish last on a foot race that is gonna bunch a lot of the teams together. Secondary evidences come from them not being featured in the preview and Ken being a good friend of Andrew's.

I don't think it's Aaron and Arianne coz I don't think that the "surprise" is going to be THAT surprising. Any teams from the top tier finishing last this episode will be considered as a surprise. Having said that, I'm going to be REAL conservative for my Anti-Elimanee this week though

FF: Andre/Damon

Not much to go on so just picking one of the teams towards the front of the pack so that their ouster remotely lives up to the CBS hype.

I am not too sure about this week Unfortunately, Tian is in toomany previews for them to go his week. I think Andre/Damon will go for the FF and the last to the mat will come from the top. K/G just seem like the weakest team on top and it will be a "surprise" if they go.

A&D throw the race for fame and fortune as part of the New Village People.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! This Jackwad needs to go. I sorta like Teri, but cannot understand why she has stayed married to this idiot, let alone agreed to do this race with him. Setting a good example MY BUTT!

Hoping Andre & Damon get the FF and Teri pushes Ian down a long flight of stairs.

Only because of the emphasis on "surprise" ending. I would most probably pick Andre & Damon for this week as they are six hours behind the main pack.

they blow it...

It's a suprise when the two male, fit, non-related single friends are eliminated from the game.

Teri and Ian get the FF.
One of the Heave members cries.
Derek and Drew get lost.
Gerard is the one quoted in the title.

The crystal ball is getting dim....

Doh!

A mix of speculation and wishful thinking.

While I would love to see Teri & Ian go, I think the promise of a "surprise" ending means they are safe another week; likewise, Andre & Damon.

I think the Zoolanders and Ken and Gerard are safe. They were 1-2 last week, with the Zoolanders easily maintaining their 1st place position, and K/G gaining from 6th to 2nd.

That leaves the folks bunched up in the middle: Flozac, Aaron/Arianne, Michael/Kathy, JohnVito and Jill and Heave.

Since Heave and A/A are featured in the previews I think they are safe. Meanwhile JohnVito and Jill, aside from being cuties who I am rooting for, are not part of the Twins-hating gang, and I think one of the twinbashers goes down this week. That leaves Flozac or Michael/Kathy, and I'm taking a stab in the dark that its the latter.

They are in first now. This will change. However, they are complete morons. This will not change.

I'm looking for a first to worst episode.

Tumbler

Ok I am not actually voting ( I would say Teri and Ian ) But My child Loves this show and wants to vote for the whiney so obessed with the twins that they forget to play the game pair. So K-Bugs pick is for A/A

I get a feeling that we were shown repeatedly these two bitching about the Identical Twits for a reason -- these two are being foreshadowed to fail in their mission and we may be getting a surprise that they'll fall flat on their face and get booted.

Why so much emphasis on their moaning about the Twits if they'll be in the game for a while longer? Therefore, they're gone soon in my mind.

because that is what i voted on my office poll and i want to win!!!

If I keep voting for them, they'll be eliminated eventually... probably.

I think tonight will be controversial because Andre and Damon actually beat out Teri and Ian to the mat for the last spot, but they will have incurred some kind of penalty along the way which moves them into elimination. Andre and Damon have been breaking all the rules and it will cost them tonight.

Keep saying it and one day I will be right!

I can't believe that Gun's n Hosers are doing so bad, but, after watch Ian "run" last week, I think that T and I will get hosed this week. 3 for 3 streak is ON THE LINE {:0 )

I keep waiting for a turn-around but so far nothing.
