BOO jaime and cara came in 1st I don't want these two winning any prizes or trips and when Phil said "you are team number 1, however" I was like YES they did something wrong along the way and are getting a penalty but he whips out there next clue and they are back to racing Ha-Ha no official first finish or prizes for you two yet and hopefully they come in first at the real pitstop next Sunday.

Anyone notice how most of the recent legs have been occurring overnight? Last week's episode actually suddenly went into the next day. Did everyone ride in the car overnight?

I have always wanted to do the Amazing Race but I have a really bad fear of heights. I could possibly jump out of a plane piggybacked with someone but I could never ever bungee jump. I can't swim but am not afraid of water when wearing a life preserver.

I was not a fan of Tammy and Victor but I want anyone but Margie and Luke to win. You had an argument with one team and not that is all we hear from them. Get over it. I was surprised to hear Tammy say she was scared of Jaime and Cara.

After all the crying and moaning and you go out and swim and if you had just done it in the beginning you probably would have finished first. Also if Victor and Tammy didn't keep trying to jump off the board they too could have done a lot better. Even if you can't swim, all you have to do is hold on to those rope dividers and pull yourself along. Margie and Luke were far enough behind that most teams could have finished faster.

There are five things to take of before going on the race:

1) learn to drive a stick

2) learn to fix a flat

3) learn to swim

4) conquer your fear of heights (hypno-therapy work for me temporarily)

5) dont tell the producers you did any of the above.

Funny, when Boston Rob told that bus driver not to open the back door for the other teams, the prevailing opinion was that he was being "devilishly clever." Victor tries something similar -- but not nearly as devious -- and he's "cheating."

I truly don't know who to cheer for and never thought I'd say this but it might be Tammy and Victor. Right now it is a matter of least onerous. I still like Margie - she was probably the best swimmer - but she is not doing Luke a favor by babying him. I did feel for Jen, she was in a full on panic attack. And, I honestly don't recall much swimming in past races so I can see how she'd be unprepared for it. I just sort of don't care anymore. It went south after Mel and Mike left.

I'm annoyed by all the teams for various reasons. I'm not cheering for any of the teams. I'm just watching the show to the end.

I don't think I have ever seen so many poor adult swimmers. Nor do I get the whole plugging your nose when diving or jumping into water. Who doesn't learn to swim or know how to swim? Maybe it is where I grew up (MN), myself, my brother and sisters, friends, etc. we all took swimming lessons every summer for 7 years or more - at least in my family that is what we did. Why not put your kids into lessons, even for a few years. It could save their life for one and two, it could help you win the Amazing Race.

I can drive a stick shift and change tire too.

I think one reason I like Tammy and Victor (all teams use the same tactics to try to delay people at the travel counters - it's nothing new and was at an equalizer) is that Tammy took the initiative to take swim lessons before the race! She came prepared. I think they also understood that, despite their language abilities in China, they were always at the mercy of the taxis, traffic, etc. And, except for seating 2 teams at the back of the plane, their abillity to communicate in Chinese actually HELPED all the other teams. Just recall the Pied Piper effect last week at the park in Guilin....
