Welcome back!

Anyone else wondering when the three non-elimination rounds are coming up? It seems like there should have been at least one by now.

For the past two weeks I kept thinking that Phil will tell them "You are the last team to arrive...........................Fortunately this is one of 3 non-elimination pit stops" But no.

**Quarterley** · 04-17-2006, 09:31 PM

Yeah, I was wondering about that too.

Would be funny if the same team ends up being last on more than one non-elimination round.

CourtneyS416 · 04-18-2006, 04:47 AM

how many teams left?

frat boys
hippies
ray and yolanda
fran and barry
monice and joseph
?????

That's it - there are only 5 teams left.

I wonder what they'd do if the same team came in last during a non-elimination leg more than once. They've already been stripped of their belongings and cash - I wonder what other punishment they can dole out the second time.

Hmm...good question, moochie...

maybe they'd make them take off more clothes

haha..

I can't wait for tonight's episode...the time change is really screwing me up!!

CourtneyS416 · 04-20-2006, 04:52 AM

I hate that they moved the times. I wish it still came on on Tuesday nights. I miss it.

punkybrewster2828 · 04-20-2006, 06:51 AM

me too...i watched it last night, though i almost missed it! i thought it was on at 10 and my roommate came home just in time to remind me to turn it on...

what did you guys think of last night's episode? i was glad it was non-elimination, and i think i'm ready for ray & yolanda to go...i can't take the bickering. the frat boys are oddly growing on me and i like the hippies and mojo. i don't really like fran & barry but they are sort of impressing me, they seem to be hanging right in there iwth the young kids...

The highlight of the episode was.....the camels!

Fiesty but cute.

I felt bad for BJ having to dig for 2 hours in the heat.

Searching for stuff is a really frustrating kind of road block. Too much of it is depended on luck. Tyler cracked me up though when he was hanging out with the camel while waiting for BJ to finish the task. He rested his hand on the camel's back....and the camel kept growling.

Speak of the devil...non-elimination round.

I was glad BJ and Tyler were still in it. I would rather see Ray/Yo and Fran/Bar leave. I like MoJo, but Mo is having a few too many breakdowns, almost to the annoying point.

I felt bad for BJ digging all that time. Especially in that heat. He hung in there though. It was bad to see people come and go while he still dug. I'm surprised BJ/Tyler didn't load up on clothes just in case it was non-elimination.

**Quarterley** · 04-22-2006, 10:14 PM

Oh yeah, Ray/Yolanda should definitely leave. I cannot stand Ray...he seemed rather unpleasant...I think it's the body language, it seemed to speak volumes about how he didn't want to be there.

Fran/Bar and MoJo are okay but still better than Ray/Yolanda. So anyway, I just want the frat boys and the hippies to be in the final round.

I think they made it kind of a point not to load up on clothes before reaching the pit stop with some sort of spiritual mentality.

***Catherine*** · 04-25-2006, 08:59 AM

Yes, somehow I doubt BJ and Tyler really give a crap about how much clothes they have. Though I wish BJ had the hat on like he did before

They seem like such great guys. I hope they win

**Quarterley** · 04-26-2006, 09:30 PM

Kinda predictable tonight. They are trying to focus on this feud between the hippies and MoJo but so far....not a lotta sparks.

But next week looks good with snapping alligators.

What's with the hippies/MoJo rivalry. Did it exist before this episode?

Speaking of the hippies, what was with them threatening other teams to give them money or they'd use the Yield on them? At first I thought, aw, that's sweet, Fran and Barry are giving the hippies money but it seems they didn't really have a choice. Maybe the hippies were joking but they brought it up several times which leads me to think it may not have been a joke after all.

I'm definitely not sad that Fran/Barry are gone but I agree, I wouldn't have minded at all if Ray/Yolanda had been eliminated instead. They aren't as strong as you would think especially since they keep saying how strong they are and they're arguing is getting old. Monica/Joseph are annoying me a lot too and I really, really hate the hippies. It looks like I'm rooting for the frat boys.
