I guess what's her name was lucky to be eliminated last week. Otherwise she would have cried all the way up that bell tower, well at least to the third step before she bungee'd herself to the staircase and screamed bloody murder. :D

Hilarious, but mean. Ericka wasn't even close. How can you be almost 20 bells off?

Maybe I have not been paying close enough attention, but has there been a non elimination leg yet? I don't remember one.

There was the one at the very very beginning that saved my maria and tiffany. =) I'm pretty sure this episode will have one too.

I think that was only because one team was DQed.

I like that the brothers finally won a leg. Those two and Meghan and Cheyne are my two favorite teams. On a side note, Maria and Tiffany are pathetic when it comes to anything athletic...

No they were saved twice, they were last at a non-elimination round, and then they were last but zev lost his passport so they were saved again.

I think that brothers are my second favorite team. "We're not that kind of gay guys" HILARIOUS! I agree with Molds, Maria and Tiffany really suck at athletics.

I think that a few teams are lucky that this is a non-elimination leg...they are making so many mistakes.

They don't annoy me, they just don't give me any reason to root for them.

I'm pulling for the young couple and father & son. I don't mind the Globe Trotters, but do mind the poker players and I am laughing as they cry right now. :devil2: I'm indifferent to the bickering couple...

I really like Matt and Gary as well. Seeing the poker players not be able to do simple things is quite laughable. Maria in particular is quite pathetic...

Wait am I understanding these comments correctly? Did the poker girls quit after getting a penalty, sucking at the tasks and crying hysterically?! Man, I think I am going to enjoy this episode tonight :D

[QUOTE=Wilderwolf;135278]No they didn't get a penalty, another team did.[/QUOTE] Although "in practice" they did get a penalty for not completing the task and came in last, thus being eliminated. Ok, never mind. They are big QUITTERS! That ending was actually quite confusing as Phil did not even utter his trademarked, "I'm sorry, but you have been eliminated from the race." I know you can take a penalty for not completing a task as in TAR7 Romber convinced a bunch of people to quit the food challenge and they only got a 2 hour penalty. However, I think they play fast and loose with the "rules" (i.e. make **** up) as if I remember correctly, in a recent season there was a much stiffer time incursion after not doing a Road Block.

I thought he was going to say it's a non-elimination round since he never said they were eliminated. =( Maybe they'll come back as a surprise next episode and say they weren't really eliminated. =)

Either way, I was glad to see them go.

I don't like Maria and Tiffany, but I also don't like the way they were eliminated from the race. I felt bad for them! I like the brothers, the father and son and the interracial teams. The first leg was a non-elimination leg, I know people were speculating this was a non-elimination leg (I didn't think it would be... since they were showing the interracial couple so much) but I wonder now if the peoplestill think it was supposed to be a non-elimination leg?

[SPOILER]Plus Maria and Tiffany were seen as decoys in Tallinn (2 episodes from now) although I guess they are still in 6th place and would be right in that range to be eligible for decoys.[/SPOILER]
