So, estee, tell us what you really think of the gals now.

No problem. I still like them more than half the teams remaining. As said on last night's ECST, everyone gets mad when they're U-Turned, so I wasn't surprised by their reaction -- but at the same time, we saw enough venom come out during that to put a little doubt as to what potentially could have been said at other times. I don't think what we saw last night makes them horrible people -- and as far as I'm concerned, they're still better than Brent & Caite in that very raw department -- but it does make them human. Angry humans with a grudge. Turned backs on the final mat are now just about guaranteed.

I won't argue against their having been catty. It's just that most (to potentially all) of the clawing came out after they were attacked -- or at least that's what we were shown.

Is there now some doubt as to who said what and when? Yes, and we're never going to get the footage to confirm. For all we know, this was a very long-term play by, of all people, Dan & Jordan. But Caite was looking for any excuse -- and if there hadn't been any, wouldn't have bothered to invent her own. 'They're lesbians!' would cover it every time.

It's an ugly race this year. But I don't consider Carol & Brandy to have been ugly Racers -- even when I'm not comparing them to what's left in the field.
