Greetings Racers! Half of you reek horribly. But at least you all seem to be fully clothed now. We really did get complaints. The one judge at the ditch-jumping is suing for mental distress.

Jason and Lorena, you're team #1, baby! Have a 3-wheel sport bike, baby. It's all-terrain, baby. I told you you've already hit your "baby" limit. Knock it off.

Nathan and Jen: Well, you're no nicer this leg. But you're faster and I guess that's all that counts.

Shana and Jennifer: I wouldn't hug Shana with all that mud on her either. Wa wa wa waaaaaaaa.

Kynt and Vixsin: *snort* What sort of sheep acrobatics did you think you were going to be doing? I'm really curious. And macrame is totally cool.

Azaria and Hendekea, you started with a 3-hour lead. A 3-hour lead. But you squandered the whole thing and came in 5th. Good job.

TK and Rachel: A strong performance by Rachel at the Detour. Lots of nagging, sure, but a solid follow-up with actually getting the job done.

Marianna and Julia: You see? Just because you make a wrong turn in the countryside in Ireland doesn't mean you can't catch up and kick butt in Holland. That's the beauty of this Race.

Nicolas and Donald: How ironic is it that Ronald was giving Nicolas etiquette lessons? Don, I don't think that the RB was really the task for you, but congrats for succeeding. *runs off to force producers to change upcoming mud-related task*

Ronald and Christina, you're team #9. I bet if Ronald just shut up for a minute, you'd have done better. Christina, you certainly have nerve telling Daddy not to harp on you.

Kate and Pat, you're the last team to arrive. I'm sorry to tell you you've been eliminated from the Race. I guess being smart, nice and patient is no good if you're not fast. Who will feel sorry for Christina with you gone?
