Argh what a disappointing episode! My teams didn't pull through this episode.... Chip and Kim really pulled it through thought...I totally didn't expect them to do so well!

I think some of the girls were being a LITTLE dramatic with the caviar. Just be glad you're not on Fear Factor. Don't people pay BIG BUCKS for caviar?

[kayemjay]

Well ,I lost another of my teams.
Yes people pay big bucks for caviar but they don't usually eat two pounds of it at one sitting.I like it but only in small servings.

[rafala]

The 2 girls really seemed traumitized by eating that caviar. everyone looked a little ill when they got to the pit stop. It was a lot to eat but couldnt they have just put some in their mouth and then water or juice to swallow it down? that seemed to be what chip did.

I hated for bob and joyce to lose. They were such a sweet older couple. I would have liked them to go farther.

Mirna and Charla are really driving me crazy!! Colin is such a sweet guy and even he got annoyed by her. She doesnt have people skills at all. She said she was a lawyer. I cant imagine her doing well. Unless she is used to people doing what she wants all the time and isnt used to people not going out of their way for her.

no one really sticks out as a great group but i think i like colin and christie the best. He seems very supportive and she is down to earth.

good show again

Yeah that's true I guess! LOL! But still like rafala, you'd think they'd just suck it up and wash it down...if they had to puke they could always puke at the pit stop.

I've really liked Charla & Mirna, just because they seem to try and have fun in the race and also because they kind of seem like the underdogs, but what is wrong with them lately? Mirna mostly - is something wrong with her? She's been completely rude! Interupting Colin at the bus station was incredibly rude...I don't care if it's a race. And then getting mad when they wouldn't get tickets for them...well it serves 'em right! They, Mirna mostly, REALLY need an attitude check. If they keep acting like that no wonder no one will want to help them...notice they were one of the only teams that wasn't working with anyone else this episode.

One thing I hate is when CBS plays angel music sometimes when they show Brandon & Nicole...seems really immature.

Great two of my three teams are hurt, and one of the two has no money. I always do so bad on these games. I'm afraid I jinks anyone I pick. LOL One question I have is why did Colin/Christie in the big big lead used the fast track? I really don't like Colin even though they are my only healthy team, but I hope it comes back to hurt them in the end.

[momof3girls]

I was wondering why Colin & Christie used the Fast Forward too. I thought that was dumb on their part since they were so far ahead. I would have waited until later in the game when they fall farther behind and really need it.

[chippers21]

If I heard them correctly on the show, they said there are only 2 fast forwards available the whole show. So having found one, they were smart to use it.

[rafala]

it also gives them a huge lead time when they leave again. they are like 12 hours ahead of the next team. this can have a major effect if they need to get to the airport again for a flight. even if they hav more to do in egypt they can probably get it done and head to the airport before everything closes where as other teams wouldnt get out till the next day.

feel bad for the bowling moms. no money!! arggh that would be hard.

[kells3]

They will have a big lead but the show always seems to have them do something where they end up having to wait and everyone catches up. They can't let someone get so big of a lead that everyone stops watching because there is no way anyone can catch up. It would be like a lopsided Superbowl game where people tune out because they already knows who is going to win.

[ShainaT]

I heard the same thing you heard Chippers...there are only two fast forwards total.

I was surprised to see in next weeks previews that Colin/Christie were fighting with Mirna/Charla. That implies to me that they caught up. This show always has a way of making all the teams equal at least at one point in the show each week.

[momof3girls]

Plus, if I remember, the commericial for next week showed Colin & Christy arguing with Charla & Mirna, so although they have a 12 hour or so lead, apparently it doesn't last too long.
