Who else wanted to see that one guy fall off the boat and drown.... I know that sounds mean, but he's way too "intense," as his wife nicely puts it.

So far, I don't really see any teams that I'm rooting for, although the sisters from Queens seem fairly ordinary and likeable. Ditto for the grandparents. I don't see the cast as being as good as last summer. TAR basically has next year's emmy wrapped up, and it could submit any one of several episodes from that season and win handily. This season I don't see being as good, but after something as good as we just saw last summer, it's hard to think that anything would be as good.

On the ratings front, the show drew a 5.0/12 in adults and 11.8mil viewers- its best opening numbers ever. It'll rank in the top 20 adults on the season with this performance and in the top 30 in adults. Being a TAr fan has never been so sweet.

After seeing them fall behind in Iceland and producers having to give them their own bus, I pretty much assumed Merredith and Maria were doomed from the start. Too slow, too easily fooled. No real surprise last night.

Common sense, you get a clue, you hold on to the clue, you don't go back to the clue box and steel someone else's clue. As soon as I saw that, I knew Freddy and Kendra would get a penalty.

Can't stand that wrestling couple. Too macho and feminine for my taste buds.

Is this the official talkback thread for The Amazing Race?

Well I was disappointed to see the sisters go, I would've rather it been one of the many dating models/actors/perfect people be eliminated...

At least the old couple is still in there!

I guess.

I love this show...

That was just pure bad luck with Lena and Kristy. I felt sorry for them, Lena worked 8 hours and still couldn't find the clue(hidden in haybales, but only in 20 out of 270). I also felt bad for Lori and Bolo and the Grandparents in the Detour when they were oh so close but kept missing the number of the things they had to count. That was hard, building the desk was so much quicker.
