LOL I have seen those commercials many times, so I didn't even bat an eye.

I didn't see the previews....details please!

 

[CookieGVB]

I'm cracking up - someone refers to cutting Brandon's hair, and then the preview commercial for next week's show mentions whoever uses the fast forward has to cut off all their hair. Too funny...I'm guessing Chip would be OK with that.

I couldn't believe she apologized! He was the one being the idiot!

She's weak.

He's a jerk and I wish they'd put him in jail.

Christi is a doormat! Mirna was dead-on correct in her evaluation of Colin.

I can't believe what an idiot Colin is and then he went back and said that he was so close to getting away with it.

 

[Beth76]

OK, so how come the twins had so much money left over. The other teams are practically broke. I can't wait to see them next trying to get money by flirting.

I can't believe Christie was apologizing to Colin! He was totally in the wrong. If I was ever in a foreign country I would do ANYTHING to not go to the police station. Is he an idiot or what?

 

[LauraR]

Hey, how did Colin get out of the police station? I saw where he was being a big jerk (I'm thinking another word here ) refusing to pay, and the cab driver was going to file charges. Then I foolishly went to get the laundry and when I got back he and his spineless girlfriend were on the plane. So how did he weasel out? Or did he cough up the money like she kept telling him to do? I not only don't want him to win, I'm hoping he falls off a cliff somewhere!

 

[Vivig]

LauraR,

Yes, he finally coughed up the money and boy was he a sour puss!!! The taxi driver was going to press charges and I guess he A) got scared...would never admit to it..and B) Did not want to miss their flight.

I cannot wait until they get eliminated..and I have no doubt that they will because of his temper. It is awful and Christie should really examine her relationship with him. Hopefully, while she is watching this being aired she can see for herself what an awful situation she is in. Of course, the show may be protraying him in this manner...but I highly doubt it, I am sure that is his real character.

I miss Mirna and Charla...but I am routing for Chip and Kim or the Bowling Moms...they are the two teams that I like most from this bunch.

To next week's episode.....Can't wait...

 

[Planogirl]

I must say that Colin desperately needs some anger management counseling. I have a feeling that he is really bad at handling stress. It's a shame in a way because he and Christie are really good at this game.

I'm starting to appreciate Brandon and Nicole more now especially since Brandon and Chip agreed so much with one another but Nicole needs to get over her hang ups about money. She's an odd one. Brandon may have strange hair but he's at least being shown in a more positive light lately.

The twins actually ran a pretty good race tonight even though they came in last. They at least know that they make goofy decisions.

I'll go along with most everyone else and root for Chip and Kim with Brandon and Nicole being my tentative second choice.

 

[LauraR]

Thanks Vivig!
I'm with you, Chip and Kim, or the Bowling Moms all the way!
Colin's sure giving male models a bad name...

[Alice28]

Colin was making me so embarrassed and just uncomfortable! What a jerk-face moron who has some serious anger management problems. And then to pass off his anger on Christie AND for her to say something like, "I just need to learn not to stress out so much and trust in Colin." BLECH! I too would have been FREAKING if my sig other was about to be thrown in jail, in a foreign country, simply for acting like a complete a**. Ugh. I was mad they came in first.

 

[Luckymommyx2]

Colin needs serious help! Who goes into a foreign country and argues with the police!?! I was really hoping that he would get thrown in jail. Then Colin thinks he has the right to blame Christie, come on! Christie is incredibly weak and should have never apologized. If I were her I would have just quit the game right then and there. I hope both their parents watched this episode closely because if I were Christie's parents I would not let her be alone with Colin after this. They need to be eliminated because I cannot stand to watch his behavior and her apologizing anymore.

Go Chip and Kim and Brandon...can't we just make the three of them a team, without Nicole?

 

[meeshi]

Colin is an idiot and so is Christie for putting up with him. I cannot believe he was arguing with the police officer. What a jerk! And I cannot believe Christie apologized to Colin! Good grief. The stress is really getting to him and next week doesn't look any better.

Can someone please tell me how Chip and Kim were able to pay for the cab? I saw where Chip was looking at the meter and saying he knew he didn't have the means to pay the driver. But then my ds called and needed a ride home so I missed that and part of the road block. Darn kid.

All I can say is it's a good thing Charla and Mirna got eliminated last week or poor Charla would be bald next week. I can just hear Mirna's excuse, "Oh I'm allergic to the clippers."

 

[deadheadbelle]

Chip was $16 short & the cab driver said it was OK.

I've always been a C/C fan, but his behavior was just awful with the cab driver & then the police officers. Her later apologizing made me sick to my stomach.

Still like Chip/Kim, but me & DH can't help but get a kick out of the twins. I loved when they said they were definitely going to have to lie since they have no money. Too funny.

 

[jacksonsmom]

Jumping on the amazing race bandwagon!

I have watched it from the beginning. I love Chip & Kim. They just seem to know how to work with each other.
GO Chip & Kim

My second would be the bowling moms. I think they are awesome!

Colin is a JERK!!!!!! He is very abusive & if they do lose (which I hope they do) he will blame 100% of it on to Christie!
She really needs some counseling herself. She needs to see how abusive Colin is to her & how she is just a doormat.

I was so hoping he would get stuck during the road course! Of course he probably would have blamed Christie for that too even though he was the one driving

 

[airhead]

....Colin is a big LOOZAH!!!!!!

 

[GoofItUp]

Colin has weirded me out from the beginning. He just has a kind of greasy look to him. (And no, I didn't just decide that last night...I've said that from the beginning. He just confirmed it for me last night.)

Chip and Kim are my favorites and I hope they win it all. I like Brandon and Nicole. I would be a little concerned about money, too, if I was her since they do have to have some to finish the race. Even Kim was a little concerned last night about how much Chip was spending. (A $20 tip?!)

I don't have much feelings for the bowling moms one way or the other.

The twins are goof balls, but I don't mind them. As someone else said, at least they KNOW they're goof balls.

And the KY jelly commercial did leave DH and I at the tv.

 

[gometros]

Colin was ready to risk one million dollars for 50 dollars? To loosely quote a line from The StingHe's not only a jerk, but a stupid one as well.

Why is it that people allow themselves to be lured into abusive relationships? Someone else already said it, but it is clear that Christie will stay with Colin and she allows him to manipulate her. Did you see how when they were in the cab to the off road detour, he said "give me a kiss" as if he was forgiving her?

When he was making the cene in the airport, did anyone see that woman roll her eyes? LOL, I hope she realizes that we're not all like that.

Finally, I didn't see the commercial. It may have even been a regional thing, but what's the big deal?

 

[MaryJ]

When Phil asked the twins how they were going to manage in the desert with no money, I had to smile when they said, "We're young and we're cute..." I can see it now....next season on Survivor....Kami and Karli, the beginnings of the NEW "Young, Cute Tribe."

Hope Christie sees the light and gives Colin the boot after the race. I hope Chip and Kim or the Bowling Moms go all the way!
