The Amazing Race All-Stars: "Good Doing Business With You"

dustin; kandice; the amazing race(S11E11) Did everybody catch the Travelocity ad at the very beginning of the episode? Sheesh. It took a few extra minutes to get into the race so Oswald and Danny could show off the vacation they won last week.

Ooooh... I loved the whole Yield drama at the beginning of this episode. The beauty queens had already used their Yield but Danny & Oswald really needed cash so they offered to Yield whomever the queens wanted in exchange for cash. I was clapping with glee when the whole thing played out because I really don't like Eric & Danielle.

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

Was anybody else totally pissed off at the end of this episode? Two non-elimination rounds in a row? BS! I hate when we get to the end of an hour and my heart is pounding and... nope, nobody's going home this week!

Oswald & Danny [4]: I think these two should've just asked the beauty queens for money rather than immediately offering to trade money for a yield. They're not very good negotiators! And that "bad karma" sure came around to bite them in the asses, didn't it?

Charla & Mirna [2]: I was pretty pissed off at Mirna for re-interpreting what Danny and Oswald told her about why they yielded Eric & Danielle. She told Charla that the beauty queens convinced them to do so, but the guys offered the exchange right off the bat. Oh, and speaking of Mirna?!? I'm so done with her. She cannot let it drop when someone else (aka Charla) screws up. I mean, how awful was she for constantly blaming Charla for not being able to drive when she kept screwing up?

Eric & Danielle [3]:
Did you notice that Eric had the Yield picture of Danny & Oswald taped to his butt? That was pretty funny. I really didn't think these two deserved to be in the top three. I find them both to be very uninteresting and without much personality. Especially Danielle, who always seems like she wants to quit. And she kept whining about being yielded twice in a game? Shut-up. That's what the yield is for, you big baby.

Dustin & Kandice [1]:
I love these girls! I know the other racers think they're evil, but does anybody else think that? Are these racers really that superficial that they hate the girls because they're pretty?!? They ran a terrific race and smartly took up Danny & Oswald on their Yield offer. And then they owned up to what they did in person to Eric and Danielle. I think these girls deserve to win the $1 million.

rating4 Who are you rooting for?

This episode gets a '4' rating from me because of the damn non-elimination ending.

I'm finding it ver hard to keep interest in the show since Joyce and Uchenna are out of it but I'll keep watching it. I want D&O to win but I'm not happy with that little deal they made with the BQ's. They should've went out on the street and asked for money or asked the other teams for some money. I hope they learned their lesson and aquire some luck to get them in the final three.

Zwicker, I'm so glad you caught that point about the beauty queens telling Eric and Danielle that Oswald and Danny were the ones who chose who got eliminated. When I read this review and saw that comment about them owning up to what they did I was thinking "What?!?!?! They most certainly did not." If they had to the truth Eric and Danielle would have gotten a whole lot angrier with them than continuing to rant about Oswald and Danny.

I'm not a huge fan of the beauty queens but I don't hate them either. I completely agree though that using the yeild is what its there for and I don't really get why people consider it as playing dirty. Playing dirty was the season where people called and cancelled other peoples cabs. I think that was actually Erics team that did that, or maybe I am remembering wrong. If it was them though, Eric should think back to some of his tricks. I have to admit though that I thought that was pretty clever and considering its a game, for a whole ton of money I think you have to do what you have to do.

I'm rooting for Oswald and Danny, so I was glad they weren't eliminated tonight. I dont really like the other teams at all but I suppose my second choice woule be the beauty queens.

One last thing about Charla and Mirna. I never liked them and I always thought it was because they were both annoying. But after that episode, i think they were in Poland, when Mirna couldnt get anyone to help her because of her bad attitude (I know, sounds like every episode) and she kept being rude to Charla, I was so glad that Charla sttod up for herself because I felt so bad that she was stuck with Mirna. In that moment I realized it was Mirna I couldnt stand and her rechidness was overshadowing any good traits that were coming from Charla. Now I like Charla, but since shes with Mirna I really dont want them to win.

Soultrance is full of it. First of all, if you are upset about spoilers, then why post the link that contains the spoilers? hmm.. maybe it's because you are a BLOGGER on that site? I think you are trying to get people to log into that stupid site because you also blog on it. I dont' think you give a rat's a** about the spoilers. I saw on another reality tv show site that Soultrance is a blogger for the apprentice on the same site!

Anyway, go O&D and Charla & Mirna (or just Charla)!!!

What I kept hoping for was the BQ's to pick Mirna/Schmirna to yield. It made more sense to me to yield them than Eric and Danielle. Plus could you just imagine their reaction if Oswald and Danny had to do it to their face. That would have been hilarious!!!!

All I can say is I miss Rob and Amber. I don't care what people say but they played this game as it should be.... A GAME!!! Why do these teams always forget that. It's a game, you can yield, you can pay cabbies so you can follow them, you can get people to help you around town, you can team up with other teams to get someone out, etc. It's a game. The BQ's are playing smart and so what if they smile all the time. Did you ever think they just might be happy people and grateful for the experience?

It's a game and last night the BQ's played it well. I still would have a yielded a team that was closer to me than the team that was in last place anyway. Yes, Eric made up time last night but then maybe we would have gotten rid of Mirna and her hypocritical attitude. Charla wants to be treated like everyone else.... well guess what Mirna, not everyone wants to be treated like you treat people with your condescending attitude. You snap at people and talk down to them and then claim that you are better than everyone else. Charla is a better person that Mirna and shows it each week.

That is a good point about the Queens being trained to smile all the time. I never thought they were truly having a good time, just that they were too clueless to have a bad time.

I don't see how people like them. They are stereotypical mean spirited spoiled women. It would be fine if they became mean to get ahead in the race, but they are likely that way all the time.

I have to agree with CJ- I don't think the BQs are mugging for the cameras. I think a lot of people can't get past their initial bias about beauty pageants and see that these are just nice girls who are playing within the rules and using all the tools they can use to win $1 million.

I'll have to go back and watch again- I didn't realize that the BQs told Eric & Danielle that Oswald & Danny choose them for elimination. Thanks for catching that, guys!

But if that was the case, there'd only be three teams next week and there wouldn't have been "the last non-elimination leg."
