I'd be impressed (if not entertained) if both girl-girl teams made it to final three. No all-girl team has finished "Race" better than fourth.

It's a shame the Bama mamas can't run faster. Those footraces are a sad joke.

Thanks Phil for tucking in the shirt.
Thanks b-side for all the PhilPackage™ pics.

What is it with the Calm-down-couple and cars? Maybe they should do a AAA commerical when they lose the race.

I absolutely HATE Carlyn!!! Every time the BQ's screw them over she acts as if she wouldn't have done the same exact thing if they weren't so fat and slow. But since they are she acts like now she can enter Heaven and has "no one to answer to" while the BQ's will go to Hell or something just for playing the game. Screw you Karlyn! GO Dustin and Kandince!

I love how LynLyn talk so much trash about the Beauty Queens and they were ranting at the Yield about how awful they were, when they know they would have yielded the BQs if they had gotten there first. I'm glad Tyler and James got to the mat first, I really don't like LynLyn.

Thank God for non-elimination rounds! I hope Dustin and Candice can get back into their groove and reclaim the top spot yet again!

The yield is not always useless. The Double D team from last year got yielded, and it got them eliminated.

I want the pretty people to win. So if it's BQ or junkie models, I'm a happy camper.

Go Lyn/Lyn! It's your birthday! Go Lyn/Lyn! It's birthday!

I was so mad when the "beauty" queens were in last and didn't get eliminated. Hopefully next week it will happen. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed.

That's "It's your birthday!"
My bad.

Thanks for the recap and PhilpicsTM, B-Side. To quote Kristy from season 6: Phil is a Choo-Choo Charlie and a class act. I don't know what it means by it makes me laugh.

I would like to see both the female teams in the final three because it's never been done but I'm not really rooting for anyone. I just don't like any of the teams that are left. While I agree that the BQs have run a good race, they have an arrogance and sense of entitlement that bugs me. The druggie models are the same way though they don't have any reason to be arrogant. Kimberob? Well, what can I say? They are entertaining but such douchenozzles. As for Lyn/Lyn, they are hypocritical and the smaller one is awfully nasty sometimes. But of all the teams, they probably need the money the most so... No, even after analyzing it all, I still don't care enough about who wins. Except it would be nice if a female team finally won this thing.

I forgot to mention that the roadblock should have been called "Charioteers" instead of "Gladiators". For that title to be correct, teams would have had to choose weapons and fight each other. Of course, that may have been more entertaining.

I was really happy when Lyn/Lyn managed to get ahead by using their brains and figuring out the route during their layover. Go them.

I found it hilarious how the Blondies were freaking out over the "mob" of like, 10 people. You are a bunch of random ass white people driving around with television cameras in the middle of the night. Wouldn't you be curious about just what the heck was going on?

Oh and looooved the record-rip noise when Tyler went back to get the pendant. I literally burst out laughing as it was so incredibly appropriate.

Thought Kimberly's response to Rob making a dumb comment was great:
Rob "we don't know what Marrakech is"
Kimberly "that's because we don't live here [dumbass]" -zing!

And I mustn't forget the PhilPoint when Lyn/Lyn and the Models were racing. He was like, check it out, dude.

Thanks for these recaps, BSide. Every week, I Tivo this stupid show (despite, to be honest, how downhill it's been lately), and for the past few it's been preempted or late, causing me to miss the last 15 min in recap. Having read it though, honestly it doesn't look like I've missed much... *yawn*

The blondies need to get eliminated, and I don't hate the other teams much, but no one I'm particularly jumping up and down to see make it. Bama right now is probably my top pick just for the underdog factor, but I have serious doubts they will become real contenders. Maybe if it comes down to a driving directions challenge, the other teams will totally get lost in the desert somewhere and never come out. >:)

I'm disappointed there's no screencap of Karlyn scowling her way through the entire chariot race. That was the funniest thing of the episode.

OMG . . . the package, the package! I was in total ecstasy. My sweet Phil is such a MAN. Thanks for the pics!

I want the BQs to lose in a tortuous, gut-wrenching way. I don't even care who wins, as long as it ain't them!!!!

"I was shocked they didn't run into the Cho Brothers, still on the side of the road asking for directions on how to get home to the United States."

LMAO!This had me rollin!

B-Side, I was hoping you caught another stupid Dustin/Kandice remark - when they were wondering the streets looking for the Antique Shop, one of them said, "Wow, this is so Morroccan." No, duh, Sherlock.

Pandora, I'm right there with you. I still missed the last 15 minutes this week, even though I set the TiVo to go 15 minutes past the hour.

I love the BQs!

Kimberob and the Models - sounds like a great name for a band.

I think Tyler and James wanted to do the ceramics, because they saw the word "pot".

I used to like the blondies, but this week, they seemed like such spiteful bitches.

I was pissed at the BQ's for yielding BAMA. They may not be the nicest or prettiest chicks in the world, but they're single mothers. They have my vote because of any team left on this race, they deserve the money the most.

That aside, I wouldn't completely mind if the BQ's win. If Kimberob or the Models win I am done with this show....at least until next season!

I thought it was pretty dumb to have the movie studio be closed and have everyone have a fresh start in the morning. Bama made it their first and they should have allowed them to be first in the yield.

Great recap B-side, and I love the screencaps. I don't really care for Kimberly & Rob, Lyn/Lyn, but I really dislike the attitude and demeanor of the BQ's. I'm hoping the models win.

I accept your challenge: "Kimberob and the Models" (two teams whose alliance should have some awful nickname) How about taking the last 4 letters of Kimerob and the first 3 letters of Models, reversing them, and calling the team what it really is: Boredom.

A GERRY reference!!! That...is comedy, and I couldn't have agreed more.

Our nickname for the models team is "Zoolander".

All right, you TiVo people. This is the last time I'm gonna tell you: Use your heads and set your TiVo to tape the show that follows AR. That way you'll catch the spillover.

Bummed over the BQs being in peril. I still think if anyone can get back in they can.

you can always just sit in front of the TV like I do and wait for it to come on. :)

Philpackage-YEAH!

the foot race to the Yield?- BOO!

I too would like to see the two female only teams in the final three.

Sigmaration (#24)...God, that is so perfect! I'm SO using that.

I'd be interested to know how the BQs boarded the plane without the other teams knowing it. That's very strange.

And anyone who's ever been through the airport in Paris knows what a total hell hole, eff'ed-up nightmare that is. The fact that Lyn/Lyn not only had a) time to study a map and b) a nice open area in which to do so just doesn't happen there.

I just have one question......how did you not make a "rock the kasbah" joke during this entire recap?

I was thinking the same thing!!!

Mrs. GiadaFan dislikes the BQs. I grumble too when we watch TAR together, but deep down inside, I want them to win.

If any team was smart, they would have yielded the BQs (as much as I want them to win). That's just smart TAR tactics - if any team can surge ahead it's them.

The Druggies keep talking about how they are keeping an eye out on them, but when they get the chance, they do nothing. C'mon, have some balls! If you can bust out the whippits and shoot up some heroin, you can surely yield some overly-happy blondies!
