The team that got eliminated totally deserved to go. The one guy (Rowan?) made some really big mistakes. First with the bus . . . he thought he was so clever that he found a bus leaving later but arriving earlier. What killed me was how he was so cocky about it that he walked with the others as if he was going to get on their bus and then just walked away like he outsmarted them. When he found out about the miscommunication regarding the arrival time, I thought, "Karma, baby!".
Then the shoe shine stand . . . oh dear, what to even say about that? He really made a lot of assumptions this leg and it cost them. Too bad as I really wanted to like them.
The ER physician wife really surprised me with how stressed/panicked she seemed this leg. I would expect a calmer demeanor from someone who does what she does for a living.
Marie (I think that's pink hair's name) is a piece of work. No wonder that guy isn't with her anymore! I actually liked Jamal and Leo more this week . . . seeing Jamal get mad at Leo about the money situation showed that they're taking the race more seriously than I originally thought. The hippie guys from CA actually impressed me this week. I'm also really impressed with how well many of the teams spoke Spanish.
