TWICE AS NICE FOR ROB & AMBER;
KEVIN & DREW ELIMINATED

While an early plane delay set Rob & Amber behind, the pair continued to set the pace in Chile as they collected another first place finish. On the brink of elimination, sparks flew between Charla & Mirna and beauty queens Dustin & Kandice over a taxi, but in the end, a missed speed limit sign caused Kevin and his ailing partner, Drew to step on the mat in last place.

ELIMINATION

After Charla & Mirna and David & Mary claimed eighth and ninth place, best friends Kevin & Drew stepped onto the mat in last place. Right after Phil told the pair they had been eliminated from the race, Kevin told Drew to be a good sport after he walked off the mat. The difficult leg ultimately took its toll on Drew who said, "I can't breathe. My back hurts. My feet hurt from driving. I tried my hardest. It's all I can ask. Kevin stepped up and held us together." Kevin noted, "We came into this as a team. If I were hurting he would certainly pick up the slack for me. I'll look back on this as a great opportunity. I wouldn't have passed it up for the world, but it's bittersweet."

Thanks for your work on this thread, SJ.

I hope Charla & Mirna go next. They remind me of gypsies (not in a good way) or something. I know they are Armenian, born in Syria, so maybe their demeanor is a cultural thing.

I could stand them a little better the first season they were on, but this season, they've just irritated me.

Thanks so much for the recap, sj.

When they set off for Santiago, Chile, I remembered that Rob and Amber had been there before, possibly giving them an advantage over the other teams. Not that they need an advantage, as they seem to have all the advantages built in. Amber rarely bickers with Rob and does exactly as he says....she whipped that earth moving machine around like a pro just by following his directions. Two smart cookies, but you never know in this game when a delayed flight or lousy cabby can cost teams the game.

And so we watch!

Last time Romber was on, I hated them. Then I watched the Survivor All Stars where they 'hooked up' and they were so cute! Now they're my favorite and I hope that they win, they just seem to dominate every time!
