Ahh...reality TV and the magic of editing. Honestly, I can't deal with Nicole and Brandon. They are incredibly annoying. Thanks for posting this!

Wow, after reading that I am now ONLY rooting for Charla and Mirna. Even though they were seen as the underdogs, they are proving to be an incredibly strong team.

GardenStateGirlie · #48 08-04-2004, 12:51 AM

Does anyone else aside from me feel bad that Mirna consistantly has Charla do all the road blocks? Poor thing had to climb down the hole and grab the bag that probably weighed more than her. I'm glad they made it before 5:30 so they didn't have to pull the bricks...they would have been goners for sure.

Ugh, Brandon and Nicole need to go. NOW. Fall and break your legs during a road block, make a porn video, go to church, JUST LEAVE. If I have to watch those two tramps any longer, I'll die.

Charla is just awesome. Sista can do anything, she's so strong and determined. I love watching her and Mirna one-up all the other teams every week.

The Pizza Putzes are grating, too. All they do is whine.

I love the Bowling Moms now. And Kami and Karli.

Colin and Christie are just plain obnoxious. He looks like such an egotistical schmuck, I don't know how Christie can deal with him, let alone race around the world with him.

I like Chip and Kim, they work well together and trust each other every step of the way. They're great to watch.

CarneVaca · #50 08-04-2004, 08:09 AM

Chip has proven himself to be an honorable guy. I hope he keeps in mind that he's in a race. His tendency to help others out allowed another team to get in front of him last night.

I did notice that Charla always seems to do the hard work. Go figure. But she has more than proven herself. I hope her team wins. If not, Chip and Kim.

As for the others, they annoy me no end. That Christian couple is a perfect example of the hypocrisy of those people who invoke their God and Christianity at every turn but are constantly showing themselves to be petty, untrustworthy and mean-spirited. Kinda like Bush.

As for the two brothers, they don't annoy me quite as much as the other annoying teams. And one of them voiced what I think all the others, except for Chip, were thinking: The Russians sure came across as a surly bunch in a miserable place. St. Petersburg looked positively stunning. I was surprised at the stops in Cairo and the pyramids. Sleeping on the street. Don't know if I'd ever want to do that in Egypt! Chip's reaction to Cairo and the Nile was priceless. The man sure enjoys life.

Like I said, Team Jesus needs to hit the high road.

Yep, Charla has definitely become Mirna's task b*tch...time for Mirna to step up and do some of these road blocks....

Not sure I agree with C&C's choice to use the FF - they were SO far ahead, if they'd let another team use the ff, that team would have ended up in second place. C&C could have completed all the tasks before the other teams even got to Cairo...

Now I wanna go to Egypt...the Giza plateau (or "plaza," as Chip said) looks awesome - the people there seem friendly and I almost cried, seeing how happy Charla was to fulfill one of her travel dreams...

Good to know "choo choo" apparently means "train" in all languages...

Chip definately redeemed himself last night. Up until that point, I thought he was a total tool. I cannot stand team "yay God!" It's great that they believe so much but at the same time, like you said, don't think because you didn't drink the vodka in Russia that your better than everyone else...especially when your girlfriend sticks her head out of a cab window the day prior and calls Marsha a bitch

. If that's not hypocritical then I don't know what is. I was stoked they ended up going to the pyramids but I too was surprised by the choice. It certainly is not the safest place to travel to let alone sleep on the street. I wonder if next week will also be a non-elimination round

Blind selfishness and paranoia, plain and simple. They will stumble and, and when they do, they'll be out. It came close last week with the caviar.

Johnny Stew · #56 08-04-2004, 12:29 PM

Great episode last night. The edge-of-your seat moments really amp up as the show goes along.

Chip did redeem himself last night... I agree that he was coming off like a total tool before that. But I really like Kim, and if Chip continues this way, then I'll be rooting for them soon.

Charla & Mirna... I mean, what's not to love? Mirna can be rather pushy though. I think she's one of those people who's always on the defensive, even when they don't need to be... usually because of some kind of insecurity. I think winning this race might actually mean more to her than it does to Charla.

Colin & Christie... at first, I thought they were ok. We weren't getting to see too much personality from either of them in the first couple episodes, so it could have gone either way. But Colin has become one cocky S.O.B., and needs to be taken down a few pegs. I'd love to see Charla & Mirna come in ahead of them next week.

Humpty & Dumpty... err, Marshall & Lance... I wouldn't have thought it possible, but I like them less and less every week. How do these two schmucks manage to come in in the top 5 every week??

I LOVE the Bowling Moms. 'Nuff said.

Brandon & Nicole... well, I've already expressed my feelings there. They're hypocrites of the highest order, and manage to make even the most arrogant of bible-thumpers look good. But Brandon IS dreamy. *lol* So I wouldn't mind if the eye candy lasts a few weeks longer... just as long as they don't make it to the final three.

Kami & Karli... I don't know why, but I really like them. They're ditzes and they have their whiney moments too, but they're WORKING. Unlike Humpty & Dumpty, who I'm starting to believe didn't realize they were signing up for the Amazing Race.

I'd like to see eliminated, in this order:
Marshall & Lance
Colin & Christie
Brandon & Nicole

Charla & Mirna, Chip & Kim, Karen & Linda, and Kami & Karli can then all duke it out for the final spots.

I was rolling on the floor laughing when Mirna yelled at Colin and called him a convict.

She's brassy and I love it!

I've always liked them. I love the teams who work together and trust each other, those are the best ones. Kami and Karli are pretty and they're entertaining. What more can I ask for?

I'll NEVER forget when they stripped down and swam to that damned island!

I agree 100%. To quote a certain guitarist, "Isn't that weeeeeeeeeeeiiiiird?"

Yeah, I actually don't like Mirna, only Charla.

I like Kami and Karli a lot, too. They're so sporty about everything!

They're always like "just focus" and they run and swim

when they don't have to! Yay!

You know, I kinda don't feel bad for Charla there. She's said all along she can do anything anyone else can, and she's totally proving it. She obviously doesn't feel bad for herself or mind doing all the roadblocks.
