Thanks! I cannot belive I missed it.

WOOHOOO.....talk about a nail biter

I am curious on the time difference between the last two teams.

 

[Beth76]

I was sooo hoping the frat boys "short cut" would bite them in the butt. They got lucky but looks like they lost a lot of time.

 

[OhMari]

I would like to see a show of all the slower players that got eliminated in the 1st round. Bring them back.

Or make a show of all the guy teams that were strong and then see who is the best-especially the Hippy's. They are truly one of the 1st guy teams I liked. I liked though the clowns from NYC.

Way cool about Fran and Berry. Love to see someone to last so long.

The navigational skills are working VERY well for them.

the look on Phil's face when they arrived: PRICELESS>

Glad the frat boys were (at least temporarily) put in their place.

Mo does pout a bit doesn't she?

What's his name and what's her name--they looked like they were enjoying the race and they were just bickering!

BJ & Tyler---WTG boys! Hopefully they can get ahead of the frat boys.

ITA Good Choices

Also, tonight, did anyone else think it seemed like a long time between when Fran and Barry got to the pit stop and when MOJO got there? It seemed like when F&B got there it was still pretty light out, and when MOJO got there it was almost totally dark. I'll be curious to see their times next week.

I *LOVED* it! He was sooo surprised! Honestly, I was surprised that Berry was able to drive all that way after digging for so long. I wonder why Fran didn't drive for a least a little while.

Phil also looked a little *pained* when the Nasty Boys came in 4th. As if he didn't want the Hippies in last place. Again, the Hippies stepped up to the plate and were totally upbeat. "You're my hero! How about a hug?" Awwwwwwwww

 

[SRUAlmn]

Does anyone remember what round the older couple from last year made it to? I know they were the oldest team to make it the farthest in the game, and I was wondering if Fran and Barry would beat that record since it looks like they have a good chance to make the top 4.

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Love the hippie attitude!! but i have to say (even though i'm in the minority) WAY TO GO FRAN AND BARRY!!!! i know i'm an Amazing Race Dork, but i cried when Fran and Barry came in first!!! it was sooo AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!


I kinda firgured something bad was gonna happen to the frat boys, when in the beginning of the episode they have that clip of them talking abouthow great they are or whatever....ughhh...

Anyone else love when the Hippies did an Ode to their fallen teammates on the bus?? it was hilarious!!

Have a great week everyone!!

She mentioned earlier with the flooding that she would have NEVER been able to do it. (heavy on the 4-wheel driving one other competitor had mentioned). Perhaps she didn't know what they would run into along the way.

Also--way earlier on--she's the MAP queen, so I think that they have maintained their early on positions and that was their agreement throughout the race. Just an idea--I don't know for certain.

And I also loved how they said they were done helping and being grandma and grandpa to everyone--but they and the hippies just get along so gosh darn well!

Both thoughts combined could be why she was not driving.

As far as Phil---one day they need to have a bubble episode with the little pop-ups--of what Phil REALLY thought about the race at any given point.

LOVED the scary dead on impression of daggummit--blanked on his name..but the one that said daggummit alot!

ETA: LAKE! Good grief I just could not remember that boys name!

That would be a great idea! Sort of like that Pop Up Video VH1 used to have.

I really didn't get why Yolanda was so mad at Ray, saying he cussed at her. All he said was we need to find that damn bridge. I personally wouldn't consider that cursing, and certainly not cursing at her. He then did flip the bird to her back, which wasn't cool, but that was after her accusing him of cursing at her. I think she was being a bit sensitive, but that's just me.

Even though I'm not Fran and Berry's biggest fan, I was really impressed with them coming in first. They certainly deserve kudos for that

 

[robinb]

I want to know when Phils PANTS made an ... ahem ... appearance. I missed it but I still have it on my DVR.

And then what was up with her saying that she was just teasing him about it? I didn't understand that at all. I think she was just extra-grumpy or maybe (I even hate to say it) PMSing. I can't imagine being in a race like that with all the stress during my TOM. My poor DH would be lucky to make it to the end of the week. One of the many reasons you will never see ME on reality TV. I would be one of the "interesting" contestants.

It was for the pre-recorded things such as the description of Oman, the description of what the detour means, etc... I think they are the same ones! It was hard to focus on the actual pants

LOVE the Pop Up Video idea, and was at the Hippies on the bus talking about who was 'there.' Dead on impression of Lake, and saying the pink girls would be saying 'is Oman in China?'

When he was talking about the road block, or detour, he was walking and ahem you'll see it. I told DH wow Phil's pants are ahem you know.

 

[PixieDust32]

I was happy for Fran and Berry, they did so good and hardly ever arguie like some others.

The Hippies are so cool. Love them

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Phil needs to say "My eyes are up HERE"!!


Seriusly--i never notice the pants.
