    Re: 12/5 Show Discussion **Spoilers**

    I will be very happy if Nat and Kat win.
    I like Claire, but I find Brooke to be insufferable.
    I love her enthusiasm, but she seems to believe she can do everything and I find that pretty annoying. If I were Claire, I would have smacked her quite a few legs ago.
    I'm very sorry to see Nick / Vicki go.
    I hope that Nick did learn from his experience on the trip.
    Jill sure seems to take a back seat to Thomas, doesn't she?

    The way I see it...Nat/Kat are racing for and enjoying the experience; Brooke/Claire would like the prestige of a win, and Jill/Thomas want the money. Because of this, I would like to see Nat/Kat win, but would be fine with a Brooke/Claire win. Because Thomas said they are racing for the money only, I would like to see them come in third.

    This was another fun leg - except for the lagging Nick/Vicki - but, even they seemed to take the tension down a few notches to enjoy it. They knew they would never catch up, barring a miracle, so I was happy to see Nick take down quite a bit. I have enjoyed Vicki and her attitude throughout the race and hope they can work out the flaws in their relationship...or not have one.

    Looking forward to next week and what looks to be a helicopter ride (maybe from the SF to Oakland airports (which I've done) and then the bungy jump. Can't wait to see that final frantic cab ride to the finish.

    Even though Brooke annoys me (I LOVE Claire), I find myself laughing at her antics. She's such a HUGE dork! She's entertaining at least.

    I would have liked for Nick to at least acknowledge that he let Vicki down by quitting the last challenge. She's just such a sweet girl. Even the guy they were following was quite taken with her. Even with her non-traditional look.

    I want Nat and Kat to win. I'm ok with B/C, too, but they are my second choice.
    I hate when the cops throw me in the back of the squad car ....like they didn’t hear me call shotgun.

    I think we're going to have an all-female team win this season also, mostly because they're making such a big deal out of it with the editing. The top three teams have been running very closely the last few shows, and the odds are 2:1 in favor of a F/F team win. I think it will be a Nat/Kat win since the edit keeps showing that Brook/Claire really, really, really want the title of first F/F team winners. They'll be disappointed if they don't win but will be glad that another F/F team won. Nat/Kat are in it for the experience (and I love to see that attitude rewarded). I like both F/F teams, so either of them winning would be great. Thomas has really calmed down and become nicer and more supportive of Jill in the last couple of episodes. It's funny how gracious someone can be when they're in first place. If they were struggling and bringing up the rear every episode, I suspect he would still be treating her like cr@p.

    I just watched the last Elimination Station and the crew moved from Mexico to LA, not SF. It looks as though the final leg will be in LA - or else production is conducting a ruse to make us think so.

    I said the same thing about him sounding like a typical abusive bf/husband. Not only does he sound like one, but we've already seen him apologize before, saying that he's not going to act like that again, only to see him say ugly, nasty things to Vicki on the very next leg. So no, I'm not buying what he's selling.

    I like it when Thomas told Jill not the ask the "old guy" for directions to the plane tail/clue box, insinuating that "old" people don't know anything. She then asked Thomas if the next guy was "in the right age bracket for directions". Funny.

    I'll be happy if either F/F team wins. I like them all.

    I thought he said that because he thought the older folks would be less likely to understand English...I think he thought some of the younger people would be more inclined to speak English because they are part of the Internet generation.

    That could be deedreamer. Maybe I just took it the wrong way because I''m "older".

    I don't think you took out the wrong way. IMO, he said it in a very smug and condescending manner.
