Phil: To Be Continued
Me: *Throws nearby object at television*
Jonathan needs to be attacked for being an asshole...that cab driver did what we all want to do, as in throw him out of our (TV Screens). Seriously, the guy was an absolute JERK to Gus and Hera, and his comment to the ticket agent was unappropriate. Travel Agents are better able to access those flights. They were at what appeared to be a third party ticket agent, so the travel agent had better access. Get over yourself, ass.
In other news, still firmly behind Kris and Jon, and impressed with Gus and Hera this leg. As he says himself, he can't keep up in speed, but moves like the travel agent are keeping them in the thick of things. Bravo.
I just want to know if this is some sort of UBER leg, or maybe they just eliminate
when they get to the train station the next morning after everyone else finished. Who knows...considering the hours of operation of the Internet Cafe, they might run into another hours of operation bunching afterwards or something.
From all accounts, next week appears to be a clip show. Yeah, it sucks. But, they want to stretch this thing out so it can end comfortable in the end of February Sweeps, so we get this little interlude for people to catch up with it. So...we'll be waiting two weeks to see how this turns out.

I haven't really liked Gus and Hera up until now. But anyone that can constantly get on Jonathan nerves is good in my book.
It was interesting to see that Kendra and Freddy were asleep on the bench when the other teams were going into the cafe. I'm wanting them to be the next team eliminated.

As we've seen in recent races, though, these types of teams with physical compotence and that aren't mentally impaired tend to go far in the race. They seem to be able to bounce back from mistakes well, and that's what they need to do. I think they'll stick around until other teams start to fall and then they may find themselves far back in the field.
Yeah; I've been mostly lukewarm on Gus and Hera. Good people, but it was tonight they really became good racers, and also he called Jonathan a little bastard. You just can't not love a guy for that.

Gus and Hera seem to have a good chance of going far since they seem to be able to get along with each other and are smarter than the other teams. They're the team that's flying under the radar like the winners from last years show. No one was expecting them but they jsut kept going and going.
That's taxi driver was great when he kicked on Jonathan out of the cab. "FINITO!" and then got out and opened the door. Also someone on another forum mentioned that there was a red mark on Victoria's arm in this ep and people are speculating if Jon might hav ehit her and the cameras didn't show it.
Next weeks ep is called "Phil is a Choo Choo Charlie" so it seems like its a new ep.

Jonathan is a weak little man dominating a weaker woman. I've hated plenty of people on TV before, but he clinches it.

Next week's show is a clips show with some unaired footage.
Also, I thought that looked like Lori and Bolo asleep on the bench, not Freddy and Kendra.

Confirmed: from cbs website:
"While the pro wrestlers settled into a bench for the night, the other six Teams walked into the next Route Marker with a nine-hour lead...."

And to counterbalance them, we have Hellboy, shirtless Gus, and shirtless Jonathan. Keep your damn shirts on and fix your damn hair!

Slightly spoilery description of the next new episode-it explains what Freddy is so mad about!
I'm not gonna tag it because it has a tv guide like PR description without names or specifics, but if you wanna stay surprised, skip it!

When teams enter the "Heritage Rail Museum" to get their route marker, a large steel gate crashes down on two team members' heads. One team member loses their temper because they think that someone intentionally pulled the gate down and threatens the other teams. After getting the clue, one team opts for the Fast Forward where they engage in a ritual from Hungarian folklore of drinking a goblet of pig's blood. And, teams struggle through the roadblock of eating a 24-ounce bowl of spicy Hungarian soup.

What a crazy show this is

A Shining Example
Tonight's episode is a recap of the first six episodes in case anyone missed them. Just thought I'd mention it.
It was supposed to be a new episode though. I don't know whats up.

No, it was not. I said LAST week that it wasn't a new episode. And voila, it was not. Considering that it is so close to Christmas, few people watch TV, and they decided to air the clip show as a way to allow people to catch up, and not waste a new episode in a week where few will be watching. Also, with the delay, it pushes further into February sweeps, which is good for CBS in general.
It was great to watch though; it cemented the fact that Kris and Jon are the best people on this show EVER. From the Bedrock Car to the Swimming with the Kids to the Gas Can Explosion to the Helping Meredith and Maria with the car...they are very simply awesome people. For people dating long distance, you'd swear they were best friends since childhood. Just awesome stuff.
LOLat the 'roid couple. They remind me of the gay team from a couple shows back that did the fastforward and then got a limo ride to the pitstop all the while drinking champaign and rapping about hwo they were number 1. Then they get to the pitstop and they are dead last :lol .

ShadowRed said:
Can we ban him for this? Soon? Please? Because this show deserves better than this shit. Just shut the fuck up, turn off the television, and then quietly sit in the corner thinking about how far back you've set the civil rights movements through your misuse of the term "racist".
I'm crushed at the elimination; Gus and Hera were a far nicer and better team than Jonathan and Victoria and others. But, they made a mistake, and it cost them. What appeared to be a real Chicken/Reckless detour was actually a Hard and Long/Easy and Short detour, and they picked the wrong option. It's a mistake to automatically assume that, since you're good at something, you'll be able to do it faster than someone you're not good at. In this case, Water Polo with nobody attacking you is incredibly easy if you can swim. There may be an Insider clip that shows that either Hera or Gus cannot swim, and I will understand their decision, but as it is it cost them the race. Editing made it seem close, but it simply wasn't. They were beaten due to a mistake on their part, simple as that. It's tough to see them go, but at the same time it wasn't some cheap tactic from another team. They simply made a mistake.
Otherwise, nice to see Kris and Jon have their first really good leg in awhile. A bit of taxi luck got them in front of Hayden and Aaron, and from there they simply went on cruise control. Johnathan and Victoria, for all of his asshole stuff and his blatant attempts to be said asshole, are still running a good race. They're making good choices, performing tasks well, and tend to be outracing people when it comes to taxiing to tasks. Adam and Rebecca finished the eating task before them, but fell behind in the taxi. They're good at the tasks (Although Adam is kind of useless) but the race part of it keeps tripping them up, and they've made some choice mistakes in the past.
As it stands, Kris and Jon are running the most consistent race. They've made a few mistakes, but never bicker and never really get down on themselves over anything. Johnathan and Victoria, Freddy and Kendra and Aaron and Hayden all have moments of really good racing, but bickering and mistakes set them back. Adam and Rebecca stuggle, but damnit they keep somehow making it out alright. Lori and Bolo got nothing but lucky, I'm afraid. They dug a hole, and got out of it with a bit of tackling at the Rail Museum and a lucky Fast Forward timing. Next time, I don't see that scenario being there, and they're mistake prone (Directions are NOT their strong suit).
As for the Cliffhanger? It seems like this was planned, because this was literally one leg that was doubly long than usual. I have to wonder why this was chosen. One would assume that the leg was doubled in hopes that they could expand it out further, but even that doesn't make much sense. It does lengthen the run of the show, but at the same time it seemed unnecessary, and the team "So far behind" ended up in first. I would be interested in how that all went down, in terms of choosing to make an Uberleg.

It seems to me they chose to do an uberleg in place of one of the non-eliminations. There were four last year; this year there are three.
I say good. 3 is the perfect number of non-elims where they can space them out. 4 is too many, and they were bunched at the end last season, with Twins, Brandon and Nicole and Colin and Christie getting saved in rapid succession.
Jonathan is unbearable, but I hate Victoria, so I don't care. She is a freakin crybaby, a perfect match for tantrum boy. Noone deserves to be treated the way he treats her, but there's nothing keeping her there! No kids, just a sucky marriage to an idiot she picked.
What teams are left to root for? At this point, I'd say Kris and Jon and that's it. The wrestlers are fun to watch, but they are too dumb for me to actually root for as winners. Aaron is cool, but Hayden is a schrew. Adam is pathetic, and Rebecca is a bitch (though she rose in my estimation with the rapidfire soup eating). Freddy is ok despite his bizarre flipout, but princess Kendra is sooooooooo annoying. And the only reason to root for Jonathan and Victoria is because they are doing well despite their disgusting behaviour. Nah, still hate them.
Go Kris and Jon!

But was this one leg or two? Technically, this was only one leg with double the amount of tasks. Is that two legs? There's still supposed to be 13 legs, though. In that case, it had to count as two, but how does that work? If it only counts as one, it in no way replaces the non-elimination.
I guess we'll see once we get down to the final legs how they classified it.
Mega Man's Electric Sheep

The guide on my tv called this the seventh leg of the race, so it might be counted as two, just with no pit stop. There are only 3 non-elims, so either this was the seventh leg, or there are only 12 legs this year.
Plus, it DOES replace the non elim where it counts......as an extra episode.

I hate Rebecca but goddamn, that girl is a TANK when it comes to wolfing that shit down.
Yay, Lori & Bolo! Poor Gus & Hera. Why the fuck did they do the rowing!? At least it saved us from seeing Gus in a speedo. Holy shit.
I can't believe Jonathan is real. "I thought you'd want to do that, since you like eating that much!" What a fucking moron.

Another personality team gone. I don't know how someone can cheer for Kris and Jon, they are so much better then the other teams it's boring to watch them win, it's like the Yankees playing peewee teams. I'll be intrested to see how early Lori and Bolo leave, it didn't seem like that FF was that big of a help, plus the water polo was rediculously easy.

I love this show.
As for the teams left in it:
Freddy and Kendra are...well they're alright. Certainly if they weren't in a race with so mcuh stress, I think you could get on with them fine. She can go from beign really sweet to seeming a bit pampered, but nothing too bad. I've never really had a problem with him until today, but I can totally understand him losing his cool like that, pain can spark such a reaction.
Jonathan and Victoria have such a fucked up relationship. She can be weak, it's true, and she starts screeching and crying a lot, but with a nice caring guy to look after her and be patient with her, I'm sure she'd be able to keep those things in check more. unfortunately, she's ended up with the antichrist. Jonathan must be the worst person i have ever met or seen. Even if I ignore all the stuff that's happened in the past before tonight's episode, he's just...disgusting. Calling her dumb when nothing has happened and they don't need to rush anywhere, calling her a drama queen, being completely unsupportive when she even beat one of the guys who started ahead of her during the pit stop...aaarghh! I just want him to die. Not even painfully, I don't care, he just needs to stop existing.
Hayden and Aaron are kind of in the same boat as Freddie and Kendra. They let the stresses and pressures of the race boil over too often and then start to lose support for each other, but if they weren't in this situation, I'd like them plenty. At the very least I look forward to Hayden clips for the low cut tops. Damn I love that bouncing.
Kris and Jon are the best people alive. I'm never gonna get a girl like her, and I'm never gonna look like him, but that's ok, I'll settle for them being my best friends. They're so sweet together, never seem to fall out, and I really hope they win the thing.
Adam and Rebecca are so pathetic. He's pathetic because he's so clingy and completely uninteresting to her (or any other woman for that matter), while she can be such a bitch. Especially to Adam, probably because she knows he'll take it. She's very childish too in the way she deals with arguments. Luckily they're in a race with Jonathan so most of my hate is deflected faaaar away. She did really well in the pit stop today though, I'll give her that. Impressive.
Lori and Bolo are just weird. I really can't relate to them. I'm not particularly fond of them, but that probably has more to do with their fights with teams I do like than anything they've done or said. I'm just taking sides. I'm glad they're still in it, they mix things up a little, but I don't want them there towards the end.
Really wish I'd seen the other series, hell I missed the first few episodes of this one, but I've never heard of it in the UK. I'll do my best to see it when back there though, that's for sure.
Oh and that racist comment a little further up was pathetic. Unless it was a joke in which case it was just rubbish.

Tazznum1 said:I looked up when he said he "put back 4 ounces." I was confused (because I wasn't looking), so I looked just as he is pulling his vomit covered spoon out of the bowl.
I'm getting queezy now just thinking about it.
Another stupid thing was right before he vomited she says "oh baby you're doing SO good, just look at all the other seats" and he looks over to see vomit on the floor and just loses it. "Gee thanks for pointing out that vomit while I'm trying to eat honey..."
And what's with all the couples calling each other "baby"? It's starting to get annoying. Even when they argue it's something like "calm down baby", "stop yelling baby", "hey look at all that vomit baby". I'm gonna kick in the TV when I hear another "baby" phrase out of tha show. The only guy that doesn't use the "baby" is Jonathan cause he's a total nutcase.
