I am approaching each week in this race anew and trying to rate teams as I saw them in that week, at least that is my excuse!

1. Kris and Amanda – We haven’t seen that much, but the gymnastics was most enjoyable, and the way that they didn’t panic during the lost bag incident impressed me no end. They still seem like a really nice couple.

2. Mel/Mike – Dude, my Mother thinks I am special as well. Btw ftr everyone is unique and important in their own way. That said, great racing guys! Although they did bust me out of the anti-elimination

3. Christy and Jodi – What happened to the bone headed girls we used to know? They raced well and supported each other well, if they have stopped making mistakes they could do very well.

4. Mark and Mike – I’m sure they were there this week, but after 12 hours I cannot say that I remember much of them.

5. Jen and Kisha – Again supportive and a reasonable leg, cannot help feeling there is disaster around the corner.

6. Jaimie and Cara – Again with the supportive! I have to split these teams somehow, and I am going to do it by blaming the teams that pick bad taxis

7 . Margie and Luke – My word! She really is Superwoman! Him I am liking less and less, although I appreciate that it is probably tough only being able to talk to one person on the race.

8. Tammy and Victor – It never rains but it pours! A dodgy plane, a dodgy sense of direction (1), an appalling lack of gymnastics skills, a dodgy sense of direction (2) coupled with pig headed stubbornness, a dodgy coffin that drops keys, and then an emotional breakdown at the end of the leg. I am chuffed to see that Harvard graduates are keeping up their proud TAR tradition (see Heave).

Brad and Victoria Out of Luck. A brave move to go for the earlier flight, however it didn’t pay off. Why is it just as I am starting to like teams that they are leaving?
