I really liked this last show... Going to Egypt must have been really cool. The thing that I thought was really funny is how everyone was complaining about how cold it was in Russia.... it gets a lot colder here!

And USCog...you don't have to mention me by name when I speak to you in private. Do you not know the meaning of being discreet? Good grief!

Sorry Hon. I'll keep that in mind in the future.

Let's do a vodka shot to make up for my transgression.

Egypt is awesome- well worth the long trip, and visa/immigration hassles... Go as soon as you get the chance.

Marshall and Lance are total you-know-whats. I despise them. They are rude, crude, and they treat Charla like she's a worthless sack of garbage. I admit it; I have nothing nice to say about them, so the sooner they are eliminated, the better. And good riddance, IMO.

Got to agree with that- I've disliked them ever since that "Useless Foreigner" comment in the second episode.

News flash- when you, an American, are in Uruguay... surprise- YOU"RE THE FOREIGNER!

As long as you guys drink it while balancing the glass on a saber.

Why do you have to be 21 to qualify for this show? I'd love to try out for it, but am afraid it will be gone by the time I'm old enough. That exact thing happened to me for Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

I don't think it'll be gone for at least another season or two - at the soonest. It's getting good ratings, and you'll note they're replaying it on Saturdays to try and get a lead in audience for Big Brother. It's been nominated for another Emmy (I think) and it's roundly praised in TV guide and by critics as one of the best reality shows on television.

If you'll be 21 by the time the race is held, I say apply for Season 6 - and let us know how it goes.

Big Brother doesn't need a good lead-in; it needs a mercy killing.

Applications for TAR 7 - yes, 7 - are due in by this Wednesday, 8/11. If you'll be 21 by November you can apply.

I'll be 21 November 15. Is that under the deadline?

~WildRoseCowgirl~ · Aug 8, 2004

Oh yes I forgot to add that Chip really redeemed himself in my eyes on this last bit.

Possibly - all the application says is that the race will be run in November 04. But get cracking on the app - it's 10 pages long plus you have to send in a tape of you and your partner. Good luck!

I can't believe no one except for Mirna and Charla went to look for a better time out of Frankfurt. You would think it would be logical to see if you're in a race and not try to see if you can get a better flight out. It's their idiotic fault the other teams didn't think about it and sat on their tushes while Mirna and Charla went about doing their business. Then they have the audacity to complain about them not sharing the info about a better flight.

Yep... it's crazy. If I ever got to run TAR- and I know that I could beat everyone out of FRA by 50 minutes... No way am I telling anyone!

What is this again? Oh... yeah.... Race! Teams would do well to remember that!

~WildRoseCowgirl~ · Aug 10, 2004

It definatly seems kind of wierd that they all expect everyone to tell them when they found a better flight. If I was in the race, I owuldna be mean but I wouldn't help anyone in that way at all because I would want to win....

TriptychR · Aug 10, 2004

And aren't Charla and Mirna the ones that have been left out of the loop by other teams in earlier episodes? Talk about poor sportsmanship.

At first I thought Charla and Mirna were kind of on the, well, dumb side. But they have certainly proven themselves as the race continues.

~WildRoseCowgirl~ · Aug 10, 2004

Yes, but they have also proven that theya re willing to do anything to win, including lying.

The brothers are gone. I shouldn't be happy but I didn't much like their personalities. I guess you can't like everybody. Sad they more or less had to quit but they lost that leg of the race anyway. From the previews, it looks like it gets ugly next week between some of the teams.
I really do need to get a life. LOL!!

~WildRoseCowgirl~ · Aug 11, 2004

I am so glad the brothers are gone, but they were actually not that means since the one brothers knee started hurting him. It does look like it gets really bad next week...

krstlros · Aug 11, 2004

You have to admire Lance and Marshall for just making the effort this leg. I just felt so bad they couldn't complete it because Lance couldn't walk anymore.

Colin is starting to get on my nerves. Granted Mirna and Charla shouldn't have just jumped into their cab. However, one of the two should have stayed in the cab while the other went into the terminal for the information. And personally speaking, Colin shouldn't be swearing at anyone that way no matter how mad they get.

Looks like Colin is going to try and block the entrance at the airport next week and Charla just ducks underneith his arm. (Way to go Charla) Reminds me of that first season when the gay couple tried to block the entrance to the boarding terminal so the other teams would miss their flight.
