As I recall, jreimer, your statistics showed Megan and Heidi in the first-three-to-be-eliminated category too, and they're gone. And Susan and Patrick are sinking fast.

My original assessment of Susan and Patrick as Kerry voters is panning out too. Who but dyed-in-the-wood liberals would spend all their money before everyone else and expect perfect strangers (Taxpayers) to pay their way?

Ole Rob said when faced with the shop-or-schlep challenge, "we're running out of money, we'd better schlep." And proceeded to schlep in a careful, workmanlike manner. Brains and brawn. He's looking really good at this point.

dead, your term, "Umbilical Team" is a hoot.

But I don't agree that this season's AARP Team is just like the others. They seem 'way out of balance to me, with hubby thoroughly henpecked. Last season's pair gave us a classic TAR moment when hubby, the doctor, applied surgical skills to stuffing sausage and tying it off with surgical knots. And she hacked her way up the ice wall faster than some of the young hunky guys. I liked them a lot.

So right on the money. (pun intended)

I just saw this on the web. Interesting. Does this mean the outcome has been leaked?????

They really lost me when they tried to whine their way out of the IKEA challenge. (“But we’re very old and we can’t count anymore!”) And I did get sick of hearing them talk about how smart they were, even though they were constantly making really bad decisions (and they couldn't count!).

Plus, some found it endearingly sweet, but I found his constant crying cloying and annoying.
