1. Mel/Mike: I love watching their dynamic. I'm glad Mel pulled through and they finished in the middle of the pack. I'm a little worried about Mel's health but it would make a great story if they somehow came out on top. (But I doubt that will happen).

2. Kent/Vyxsin: I knew Kent was good for something besides having fierce draq-queen eyebrows. I loved how the camera kep panning in on his plumber's butt peering out of his low-rise jeans-type whatevers he was wearing.

3. Zev/Justin: They move up on my ranking for running a great leg and continuing to have an upbeat attitude.

4. Lakisha/Jen: Jen's whininess started to show in the cab but so far, good racing and no drama.

5. Cara/Jaime: No apparent attitude problems this leg (re Jaime) and they ran a decent leg.

6. Globetrotters: Nothing really stood out for me this leg, either positive or negative.

7. Margie/Luke: They were fine. Whatevs.

8. Jet/Cord: Ugh, I hate moving them up but they did run a great second half of the leg so I'll give them credit.

9. Ron/Christina: As is the case with just about everyone else, I really like Christina but Ron should just STFU. I can't imagine being on the race for him.

10. Gary/Mallory: As is the case with just about everyone else, I really like Gary but Mallory...UGH.

Philiminated:

Kris/Amanda: Dammit, I was really hoping they would beat R/C or G/M to the mat. At least we got to see Kris (drool) shirtless before they were sent home.
