1. Mel/Mike (5,8,1,5)
I liked that they went for the fun detour option even though it obviously took longer. They've got a great relationship and bring some much-needed humor to this competition.

2. Christie/Jodi (9,7,4,1)
I appreciate how they retain their composure and never turn on each other when things head south. I also like how self-aware they are about their mistakes... although on this leg I think they were screwed up more by faulty directions than anything they actually did wrong. I'm glad they were non-Philiminated!

3. Kisha/Jen (4,6,5,2)
Jen wins the award for looking the best in her underwear... but I also find it disconcerting that she wasn't wearing any to begin with. Also, I was dumbfounded that after 13 seasons, anyone would come on the show without getting acquainted with a manual transmission beforehand.

4. Tammy/Victor (2,2,8,6)
I was pretty perplexed at the other teams' indignation when these two went off on their own... it's a competition, for pete's sake! They generally have a good sense of humor and I'd say they're definitely the team to beat.

5. Cara/Jaime (8,5,3,4)
I still like them, but I don't get why they got all worked up over Tammy/Victor and was not impressed with Jaime flipping out on another taxi driver and the locals at the snow plow task... dial down the intensity, woman!

6. Margie/Luke (1,1,2,3)
Another strong leg for them. I guess I'm a little tired of Luke's attitude, and found it hilariously hypocritical of them to call out Tammy/Victor for being sneaky and too competitive when they used the u-turn last week for the exact same reason.

7. Mark/Michael (7,9,7,7)
Let's just say I was much more concerned for their cameraman than either of them when they suddenly darted out into speeding traffic. My fingers are crossed that they don't Dandrew their way into the final three.
