1. (1) Danny/Oswald. Missed these guys the first time around, but I'm glad I'm catching them now. They're fun-loving, and, so far, good Racers. *takes "nads" away from Megan Linz and awards them to Danny*

2. (6) Joe/Bill. Right now I think the Guidos have a better strategy than before; they're going with the flow and doing well. I'm sure if the need arises, they'll get crafty. And they had fun with the backhoe! (Never let it be said I'm homophobic; I've got both gay teams 1-2 here!)

GAP THE SIZE OF THE ?CHIMICHANGA? MINE (shameless plug for my summary)
Nobody I'm really that enthused about from here on; it's more like who bothers me the least.

3. (7) Dustin/Kandice. Dustin played the bored room well, they didn't fare too badly with the Detour, and they certainly stood their ground against an exploding Charla and Mirna. They were, however, trying to freeload, which isn't illegal, but doesn't always succeed. And they MUST do better at following directions, or they'll be gone again.

4. (5) Uchenna/Joyce. Still like them; Uchenna's reaction to Joyce after her horrible Roadblock was priceless. But a wrong turn cost them a couple spots. I now wonder how much they want it.

5. (4) Teri/Ian. They're hanging tough in their paper skivvies. Ian didn't fare too well in the Roadblock either, but Teri didn't berate him for it. And how did they not find the cars after the Detour? Stop, look, and read the clue, folks.

6. (8) Eric/Danielle. Yet another casualty of the bored room, and what was he thinking with that joke at the start? But they did finish fourth again.

7. (3) Mary. I'm surprised the producers are letting her race alone, and I bet Rebecca is seething about that. But this is not the innocent, enjoying-the-ride Mary we've known and loved. I want her back!

8. (9) Rob/Amber. Keep smirking. It'll bite you in the end.

9. (10) Charla/Mirna. As if they weren't painful enough the first time around. I constantly underestimate their irritability.

Philiminated (2): Kevin/Drew. Almost as painful to watch as that NBA player who blew out his knee. Never should have been on this Race given Drew's condition.

Tribe strikes again!
You've been warned, so don't complain.
