I agree with you about the Mole! Not that I need another addiction, but what is SIMs?

AUGH!!!! I can't believe the models and NFL wives ar still in this!!!

Even though Chris & Amanda weren't one of my favorite teams, I would rather have had to tolerate them than those other four!

Chip & Reichen - what a coupla childlish dirtbags!

Steve & Dave - Hopefully the Fast Forward helps them, but they probably won't be able to maintain the lead. Bummer.

Steve & Josh - Not doing poorly, but could be better.

The Clowns - Didn't see them much...I think they're gonna "sneak up" on everyone as contenders.

How ridiculous was that mask matching Road Block?

How funny was it when Steve & Dave were making fun of the two who didn't have their raft to go down the hill?

I still want the clowns to win- and for pity's sake, that hanging on to the door handle at the station? Give me a break, why not just lay on the floor and have a stupid tantrum! What is one of the requirements for this race a diploma in immaturity?

The SIMs is a computer game where you create families and help them live their lives, from buying and decorating a house, making friends, falling in love, getting a job and going to the bathroom. It is amazing.

What is with this group of people? Are they all idiots? That roadblock would not have been difficult if they just would have taken their time! I really don't like Chip and Reichen - that was just so childish of them!

Last week, I really thought that the air traffic controllers were goners. The clowns were so nice to stay and help the girl who had the asthma attack. Do you think the air traffic controllers will be able to stay alive again this week?

The girl with asthma is a tough one(lol) she keeps going.

Models and NFL wives need to go!

Can they have a tie elimination?!?!?! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful to see the clowns shown genuine human kindness in that situation.

Reichen and Chip...burning too many bridges. Worse than the twin models from last year.

Air traffic controllers have been very fortunate so far. I certainly wouldn't count them out. All they really need, IMO, is one of those "ride 24 hours straight on an un-air conditioned train across Thailand" or something.

the NFL wives are higher up IMO then the models and the gay married couple. I expected the NFL wives to be afraid of breaking a nail, etc. They have been working away, lately, without complaint. I am suprised the teamed up with the models. First they were with Chip and Reichan becasue, according to them, they were both minorities.

Yeah! The models are gone. Now it is time for Chip and Reichan to go and the couple that is really mean to Millie and her boyfriend calling them Millie Mole and Werewolf!

Don't they normally have a few rounds that aren't elimination?

This Week on THE AMAZING RACE:

During an emotional meal with the remaining Teams, one Team reveals a secret that moves them to tears.

When Millie & Chuck muscle their way into an airline office to eavesdrop on precious information that Reichen & Chip are receiving, they get a chilly reception as the door is closed on them.

While the other Teams are flying out of India, one Team is grounded after taking the word of a local that there's an ultimately better way to get to their next destination. Will they live to regret this move?

I believe this week will be non-elimination, then another when they're down to three teams in the final episode. IIRC, the last episode is always three teams in the "sprint" to the finish...

Damned non-elimination rounds!!! Curses!!

Anyway...

Next Week on THE AMAZING RACE:


After a bitter disappointment, Jon makes harsh, unexpected and potentially damaging remarks toward Kelly, who becomes irate at the sudden hostility.


Massive exhaustion finds Millie & Chuck lost in the confusing wilderness of Malaysia, which will put their relationship to a critical test.


Each unaware the other is going after the same prize, two Teams drive many miles out of the way to go for the Fast Forward. Only one will succeed, while the other faces the prospect of clawing their way back into the Race.


Trailing Teams engage in a desperate, heart-pounding race that stretches all the way to the elimination, where only seconds will separate them.

Bill - you are better then the TV guide! Thanks. I am getting to really dislike Jon and Kelly - I can't see their engagemnet lasting much longer then the end of the show. I really hope that the clowns win. There are 2 more non elimination rounds coming up, so it should be interesting over the next few weeks.

Interesting indeed!

That scrawny, red-headed skank and her "fiance" are too alike not to belong together.

On the other hand, after 12 years, Millie & Chuck are getting less and less compatible, it seems. I don't know if she's just trying to "light a fire" under him to get through the race, but its clearly NOT working.

Jon & Al (the clowns) are proving what they're made of and doing it without fighting each other or anyone else. Same with David & Jeff. Those are the two teams that *deserve* to win, which means they probably won't (need I mention Flo & Zach again? UGH!)

I want the clowns to win as well. Not only are they just really nice guys with manners, but there are funny even when they are under stress! I haven't seen a mean bone in their body and hope I don't.

True - I wouldn't mind if the male best friends won, and I even like Chip and Reichen more then Jon and Kelly. I do like Millie and Chuck (but not as a couple). I feel sorry for all of the teasing they are getting.

Ummm, is this a re-run because I saw what happened a week or so ago and the NFL ladies were gone finally. Maybe we air it faster than you guys, I dunno. The NFL ladies, I would have supported them but they just didn't seem to have enough aggressiveness or gusto to win this thing. The race in India cracked me up I guess because these people never really been to a thirdworld and it was funny to see how everyone reacted and dealt with stuff. The model cracked me up when she got off the train, she said something to the effect of she is never going to get on another train because she has never had her a** pinched so many times. I laughed so hard because this is so true!!! And it's worse when you are like in the capital, like in Dhaka, you'll get pinched, pickpocketed, poked in places you don't want to be poked. Worse than a subtrain in NewYork, that's for sure.

You may be behind - the models are now gone and there has been a non-elimination round since the NFL wives have left. They are currently in Malaysia

Yeah, the last week and this week I didn't get to see it, that's good that they are in Malaysia, it is pretty there. I will definitely have to see that one and check my local listings when it'll play here. So the models are gone? sniffle sniffle, they really did their best I thought in India with the fish carrying thing and they weren't so catty with each other or others in that episode. oh well, I do like the 'clowns' though, they are funny. Thanks for the headsup!

I am very saddened that the clowns came in last and were eliminated last night!

I don't know who to cheer for any longer. I think I will have to pisk who is the least offensive or irritating. I definately don't want Chip and Reichen to win. I don't like Jon and Kelly - they are nasty. I guess that leaves the best friends. They are the best of a bad bunch. Next week is the final episode!
