Yeah, that's definitely true. I didn't feel BAD for Charla, I just kind of think it makes Mirna look like more of a Bizsnatch, which i think she kind of is

Pizza putzes will now be known as the pizza p*ssies! But, yay, they're gone! And it pissed me off the way Marshall/Lance, whoever it was, just tossed that brown goat into the boat like it was a bag of potting soil, and not a living creature. Dick!

Favorite line of the show:

Charla telling Mirna "Dig your ass over - DIG!"

Mirna's dissing of Colin and Christie's relationship...but I can't help it - I like Colin and Christie. They are the best players of this game I've ever seen! And they DID still have that cab at the airport- that was wrong of Team Midget to try and take it...

I'm loving Chip & Kim more and more...

C'mon, you can't deny that Christie is a lemming who gets walked all over. They have terrible "We're the best" attitudes and if Colin was my son, I'd beat him until he was bloody. You don't treat women that way, especially on TV!

I'm soooooooooooo glad the Pizza Putzes are gone.

Team Jesus HAS TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY. I can't take them anymore!

Next week looks great. Christie trying to block Charla and Mirna from getting into the airport and all. And wasn't it Charla who pushed her and siad "Bitch move!" I wouldn't mess with Charla, she owns ten gyms!

Chip and Kim...I lvoe them. Such a great couple.

Kami and Karli...love them. "Is this dried poop?!"

[Livia]

Kami and Karli...love them. "Is this dried poop?!"

Oh yes! I forgot to mention that one!

It's not that I disagree with what Mirna was saying about Colin. But, personal feelings aside, C&C are playing it smart!

[GardenStateGirlie]

I'm SO glad they're finally gone. And it's about time Charla got to order Mirna around a bit..usually it's the other way around. I have a feeling next week might be another non-elimination round but it's hard to say.

My local station moved the show to 7 p.m. because of a stupid Yankees game and I missed most of it. Aarrgghhh!

What happened with the cab?

What happened with the cab?

Charla and Mirna got to the second airport and thought they were at the wrong one. They figured that they'd wait and see if another team showed up, then take their cab back to the first airport. Colin and Christie showed up and started running into the airport, so Charla and Mirna got into the cab. Colin comes running back out yelling "This is our cab!" and Mirna told him that he left it. He screams back at her "We never f*cking left it!" and Christie went ape-**** on her. They said their bags were still in the trunk, so Charla and Mirna let them have it. While they were walking away, Christie and Colin kept going on and on and on about "the nerve of those people" and Charla yelled at them that if they wanted the cab so bad, get in the goddamned thing and leave.

Funny recap - this will get you all caught up, Carne:

Amazing Race Recap

I especially like this part:

"The donkey carrying Brandon seems to be screaming. Nicole is getting frustrated, and Brandon decides that the donkey is possessed and does an exorcism on it right then and there. Actually, he doesn’t, but I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he had."

[Johnny Stew]

YAYE!!! Humpty & Dumpty are gone!!! And not a moment too soon.

Mirna is getting bitchier and bitchier each week... YIKES! But it seems that pretty much all of that venom is directed at Colin & Christie, and I can't say I blame her.
Her comparison of Colin to Napolean was hysterical! He is becoming rather power-mad and tyrannical. I'm waiting for their luck to change, and for him to get knocked down a few pegs. But I have a feeling they'll probably win the million.

I think the Bowling Moms are now my favorites. Though I have much love for Chip & Kim and Kami & Karli.

Charla just plain ROCKS. Out of everyone there, I'd want HER on my team.

By the way, is it just me, or do both Chip and Charla look like they've lost a lot of weight since the show started?

[Livia]

You're right, Chip and Charla both seemed slimmer - I also liked when Charla was running through the tunnel saying "This is fun for ME!" She didn't have to duck her head! LOL

And I think Charla was scaring the goats out of the boat with all of her yelling! I was waiting for Charla to fling a goat over her shoulder, like the side of beef!

Spoiler if you haven't seen this week's episode:






































I'm sooooooooooooooooooo sad Mirna and Charla are gone. Charla made me cry. I'm going to miss those two gals. That Colin ass-wipe needs to go.

I am thoroughly disappointed that Charla & Mirna were eliminated.
My biggest A.R. hope was that they'd at least outlast Colin & Christie.

Colin becomes a bigger S.O.B. with each passing week. What a tool.
I have to admit I relished every moment of him gagging on the Ostrich egg... it's just too damn bad it didn't delay them more.

They're not even that good of a team, they're just extremely lucky. Each week they end up lucking out of a situation that would fell any of the other teams.

Next week's episode looks interesting. Between his little temper tantrums tonight (and in past episodes), and what they showed for next week, it looks like someone is in some serious need of anger management classes.

Charla's speech at the end was so moving... even Phil was noticeably choked-up. I think she MORE than proved that she's far more capable than most people who don't have any type of physical advantage.

A.R.5 won't be nearly as great without her.

[Josh2003]

I think I might be the only person who doesn't really like Charla and Mirna. I wasn't glad to see them go, because they did keep things interesting. But did I want them to win? Absolutely not.

I couldn't stand how Mirna was many times doing the same snake-like, conniving things that she constantly complained about Colin and Christie doing to them. Granted, that's the game, and I would probably be doing the same things. But don't act holier-than-thou when you are doing the same thing. That's the game. Deal with it.

Yes, Charla very much impressed me with all that she accomplished despite being at a physical disadvantage. But it also really annoyed me that she complained about how people always treat her differently because she is a dwarf...yet she would USE her dwarfism to make people feel sorry for her in order to get further in the game. She said herself that she does this a lot because people tend to feel sorry for her. Yes, this is a very smart move on her part...but don't get upset when people really do treat you differently.

I'm rooting for Chip and Kim now. Besides Linda and Karen, Chip and Kim are the only ones who haven't rubbed me the wrong way. Those four are the only ones left that I don't dislike. Brandon and Nicole are hot and I'd like them to stay longer just for eye candy. But they piss me off too. Next weeks episode definitely looks interesting.

GO CHIP AND KIM!!

You know, this kind of reasoning always intrigues me. Should she jump with glee when people mistreat her or make fun of her? Don't you think it is a natural human reaction to be hurt by that kind of thing? Does the fact that she uses her size to her advantage in some situations necessarily void her feelings of hurt when her size becomes the object of ridicule? I wish you'd explain that to me because I just don't get it.

I was sad the Charla team lost, even if Mirna was less-than-honoroble once or twice. I think it would have been a huge triumph if they had placed in the top three. As it is, they beat a bunch of other teams and competed enviably. And it was a triumph in its own right.

Do you guys think Phil really was choked up or was he acting? I myself was moved by her little speech, but, hey, I'm an old softie.

I wanted so much to see Colin spew his guts out. OK, let's stop and consider this for a moment. Granted, I've never eaten ostrich eggs (but I have eaten ostrich meat, and the fact that a red-meat animal can lay eggs is vaguely disturbing) but how bad can it be? After all that running around, wouldn't you be hungry anyway? And it's scrambled eggs, for God's sake. Who doesn't like scrambled eggs? I could easily eat a half-dozen scrambled eggs. One ostrich equals a dozen chicken eggs, so that would be a bit challenging, but why all the trouble getting it down? Come to think of it, several teams have had a lot of trouble with the food competitions. Somehow, I suspect I would be like Chip and eat like a champ!

I guess I'll have to root for Chip and Kim now. I'd root for the moms, but you know they're gonna be out next.
