Have to say that I really like the roadblock this week, but the bunching afterwards is ridiculous and make the first half worthless. Detour is a bit stale and not interesting, hope it will improve next week.

1. Oswald/Danny (2) - They are just great. They are always fun to watch and they didn't get panic even when they were behind. They need to go far to keep this season entertaining.

2. Dustin/Kandice (3) - Slowly moving up because of Dustin's great peroformance in the roadblock. They show that they still have the ability to take the lead even in an all-star season. Sad to see that the lead is lost because of bunching! (Don't know why there's no charter flight to give leading teams a little break) But there's no excuse for poor choice of detour. Also, they were in high risk when they passed Kevin/Drew at the entrance and didn't take the map! Lucky that other teams also taking a wrong turn, otherwise they would have been eliminated! They really need to avoid that happening again.

3. Teri/Ian (1) - Not as refreshing as last week. They are still my favourite and they were smart to discover that they made a wrong turn before other teams did, but Ian's inability to complete the roadblock make them lose first place in this list.

4. Joe/Bill (6) - They are not the focus in these 2 weeks. It seems that they did quite well so far and it's really nice to see that they were still competitive. But I really need to see them more to make a better judgment.

5. Rob/Amber (4) - Still solid performace but I think they were partly saved by the middle bunching. But Rob getting annoyed by Eric at the airport was a stupid move, even Amber did not agree with him. And the dancing at the pit stop was ridiculous. They (or just Rob) need to avoid doing nonsense things to make them look worse.

6. Uchenna/Joyce (9) - Moving up because other teams were worse this week. They are still invisible in the race, and always falling behind, making wrong turn etc. It really makes me puzzled why they won their season.

7. Eric/Danielle (7) - Still indifferent to this team. Eric should learn from his season that he is not good at puzzle, he lost million dollars because of it! Don't know why Danielle didn't do it, probably she was even worse. A boring team by far but the preview suggests that there will be some good things coming up next week.

8. Charla/Mirna (5) - Don't know what's wrong for them. They did not look like that before and now they seem so desperate. Always falling behind, arguing with other teams, whining and getting upset all the time, cursing other people... They just try to do all things possible to make us hate them. The taxi incident showed that they were really out of control, always asking D/K to share taxi money but never mentioned how much it costed until Dustin asked? What would you expect D/K to do?

9. David/Mary (10) - I just can't stand them. They just need to do better job on their own and forget to use tricks on other teams, because they even can't race well!! They were really lucky this time that they were not eliminated.

Philiminated: Kevin/Drew (8) - Sadly that they're gone because they really did better this leg. Not speeding up was just silly because you saw all other teams did that, so even there's really a penalty you would not lose anything more than others. And they really provided a good moment when Kevin towed the car out of mud and Drew forgot to stop the car after that! Though clearly not doing as well as they were in season 1, I think they were at least better than David/Mary in racing ability.
