So, what was the problem with “Who’s your Daddy”’s stomach problems?

[pbear8]

Hey, that would have been entertaining!

[pbear8]

Apparently while pedaling the bike last episode he suffered a hernia. He went to the MD and was given medication.

[hattend]

Victoriaaaaaaaaaa....

Oh...wrong season.

[hattend]

On the experience, Julia remarked, “I couldn’t imagine running this Race with anyone but Marianna because I couldn’t have had a better Teammate.”

Sure you could....you could have somebody who could milk a freakin' camel and then you'd still be playing.

[hattend]

I’m surprised He didn’t send down a bolt of lightening and growl from the heavens for her to grow up already.

Looking at the downpour, He did...He just missed.

[I Drive Too Fast]

I was correct in my prediction that the "camel-milking-idiot-whiner" was safe from being eliminated last time as was the "oh no, will his hernia kill the teams chances?". Too bad the sisters were eliminated.

What I wonder (with the editing behind this show) is will the whiners end up winning it all. I don't think so, but you never know.

I really enjoyed the camel milking challenge. I was ROTFLOL at that.

[I Drive Too Fast]

That being said, how did she and her partner still manage to beat the hot sisters?

Aye, a CRUEL twist of fate there.

[A knight without armor]

I was just about chewing glass watching that camel challenge. Why on earth not calm down. I was embarrassed for her in front of that tribal man. And she would not stop. If I had been the guy I would not have hugged and kissed her I’d have been so mad.

I thought the children were so sweet. Their lilting accents always make African children seem almost elegant to me.

Also what about complaining about flies and odors on that train. I bet is was awful but I would have never verbalized it.

Episode #4:
Let's Name Our Chicken Phil

The eight teams dance in Burkina Faso for celebrity judges
who can impose a 10-minute penalty for lack of originality;
a new wrinkle in the race causes one team to make an
unpopular decision they fear will place a target on their backs

The race resumes tonight at 8pm EST, after 60 Minutes

As always, if you want on or off this ping list, just let me know.

[A knight without armor]

Can’t wait!

[RobFromGa]

Anyone know if 60 minutes is late tonight?

[silent_jonny]

By about an hour. If CBS doesn’t have any post-game shtick, TAR should start around 8:55.

[I Drive Too Fast]

Watching the previews, I sort of hope that the blondes get hit by the bus, but it probably won’t happen.

[mtbopfuyn]

All I’ve got to say is I’m very sorry the poor chickens and goats had to put up with all that. It was totally uncalled for and totally ridiculous. TAR is lucky there’s no PETA in Africa or they’d be all over them.

(CBS doesn't have the recap for last night's episode posted yet, so I'll do the best I can without it.)

Episode #4:
Sibs Win Again,
Lorena & Jason Have
Milked Their Last Camel

"We've been eliminated!"

In a photo-finish, siblings Azaria & Hendekea edged out dating couple Nathan & Jennifer to win their second consecutive leg of the race.

But Jennifer gets the prize for BIGGEST WHINER after complaining to the sibs that they were winning too often.

"Be faster next time, b@tch."

The blondes Shana & Jennifer slapped a U-Turn on Lorena & Jason, which dropped that team into last place. The Hippies warned the blondes that "Instant Karma was gonna to get them" for pulling such a stunt, but a nervous Jennifer blamed the U-Turn on her team mate. "It was Shana's idea."

But Karma apparently couldn't care less, as Lorena & Jason, despite their optimism, were the last team to arrive and thus were eliminated from the race.

Eliminated

“But Jennifer gets the prize for BIGGEST WHINER after complaining to the sibs that they were winning too often.”

Was laughing myself silly when Jennifer made that remark! She sounds like a sore loser to me.

[Right Cal Gal]

Wendy McWhine at the finish line — “YOU’VE FINISHED FIRST THREE TIMES! YOU SHOULD HAVE LET US FINISHE FIRST!!”

Uh, lady? You do know the show is called the Amazing RACE, right? It’s not the Amazing Montessori School.
