Whyyyyy did Kynt deturn a team ahead of them???? I’ll miss them. Please don’t let Nate and Jen win... please don’t let Nate and Jen win.... please don’t let Nate and Jen win. You know they will because every season the bad team always pulls it out in the end.

Argh, why the gal didn’t dump that bucket of glue on Who’s Your Daddy is beyond me. I feel for his wife who’s allowed his childish antics for so long.

I am on the west coast and the thread is finished by the time TAR is on. I do enjoy The FReepers comments and your summaries each week! They are a Hoot! Thank you ! I am rooting for the mellow hippies or the gramps and his grandson! Always for the underdogs and the long shots!
********* A Happy and Healthly 2008*********

“Please don’t let Nate and Jen win...” They are also my least favorite team. Also like the grandfather-grandson team. Would like TK and Rachel to win. However as this is a race/game, one never knows.

[I Drive Too Fast]

Sure would have liked to see Nate and Jen eliminated.

The way CBS can be creative with their editing, I wonder if these two complaining, bickering, mad at each other duo will win it all.

I hope not as I am also rooting for TK and Rachel to win it. My second choice is the hernia/daughter team, but only because of the daughter Christine.

I don’t understand how they would know who was behind them, if anybody? I guess if you have to guess who is behind you. Which they did.

I am sorry to see the goths leave. I did not think I’d like them but they got my support because they had a good attitude and were gracious to everyone. Much like The Blondes last time.

You crack me up with hernia/daughter! Hernia is so frustrating. He was chewing out the Indian poster monitor for seemingly changing his mind. But I don't think he did.

And it was so funny when that guy - I forget his name - was so freaked out by the dogs. He said something about ....”the PUPPIES”! I have never heard that word pronounced scary before.

Whyyyyy did Kynt deturn a team ahead of them????While we are watching this, we are well rested and relaxed and can think clearly. They used bad reasoning. Since Nate & Jen were at the flower challenge, the logical choice would have been them. At the bike delivery challenge if the second woman had not said to Jennifer "Aren't you forgetting something?" then the goths would have probably not been eliminated also.

Argh, why the gal didn’t dump that bucket of glue on Who’s Your Daddy is beyond me.

I think after the race, Christine will repair her fathers hernia WITHOUT using anesthesia.

(((TAR Ping)))

I JUST HOPE HE
DOESN'T CROAK ON US

One Racer begins showing signs of physical deterioration, prompting the Teammate to step up to the plate. But will it be enough? One volatile relationship takes a turn for the worse. Will the Team be able to get it together before it's too late? Taxi drivers have caused grief for Teams at the most inopportune times. Now, it's the revenge of the Racers as they don gloves and hats and drive Japanese passengers around the confusing streets of Osaka!

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

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

Thanks!

[pbear8]

Thanks, will be at Twelfth Night Party but I set the DVD recorder.

Dad is an idiot but the daughter is so nice. Still like Gramps and G-son though.

TAR will be delayed until about 8:43 EST

Good, I turned it on to see if TAR was on, but 'twas Pervez Musharraf. I thought his words were on Bhutto ill chosen, so came to play on the computer.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Wow, those little robots were cooool!

[hattend]

Glad TK and Rachel are still in it. If they were cut, I’d be down to the geek and grandpa.

[hattend]

BTW: The connections for TK and Rachel must have really sucked. Were they so busy booking the early flight out that they forgot to tell the guy they needed an early arrival time?

TK & RACHEL MAKE HUGE MISTAKE,
THEN CATCH A BREAK

As Teams traveled to Osaka, Japan, Christina's fluency in Japanese helped her and her father notch a second victory as they edged out a disappointed Nate & Jen. Meanwhile, TK & Rachel squandered their first place standing by booking a flight that put them three hours behind the other Teams, but the dating couple was saved by a non-elimination.

After Nick & Don snagged their third place finish, dating couple TK & Rachel became very aware of their dire situation but tried to remain positive. TK said, "I definitely didn't join the race to have a miserable time at any point so I'm not going to allow myself to freak out about anything." Stepping onto the mat, the pair waited for the bad news from Phil, but it didn't come as he told them this was the second of two non-elimination legs. While the pair expressed their excitement at still being in the race, they now faced a Speed Bump in the next leg along with being three hours behind the other Teams. On this predicament, TK said, "Knowing that there are Teams out in front of us and that we really are on the chopping block now, we're definitely gonna try our damnedest to catch up to the other teams and beat them."

Not eliminated ... yet.
