And here weeeee goooooo :yay
Double Elimination :eek
I don't know if there's anyone I'll be cheering or mourning yet :lol I do like the snowboarders and Jenna/Ethan, so I'd be disappointed to lose either of them.
Airport equalizer. Married couple (?) having quite a little bickering match.
Jenna's the one who said it, but I wonder how many people were thinking it as they applauded: with Ma and Pa still in the race, that's one more team we can probably beat in the double elimination leg.
Now I hope they win the leg, just to defeat that kind of thinking. It isn't always strength that wins a leg, because all other kinds of factors can come into play, including just stupid bad luck.
Okay...what was the point of the first leg anyway? :shrug
No one was eliminated, now they're all bunched up together starting together on the second leg.
Boy, and I thought my sisters and I don't get along....
Ah yes, the old Cab Driver from Hell -- takes one down every time :lolQuote:

Considering how some contestants treat their cab drivers, you have to wonder if it isn't deliberate every once in a while. I know if TAR was ever routed through here (fat chance) at a point at which I knew some of the teams and their behavior, I might be sorely tempted to be less than helpful to a duo who'd been nasty to others.Quote:

And of course the older couple teams from seasons past that I think could have gone the distance were some of the unlucky ones who were eliminated early on due to bad luck. Of course that's the race :) And I certainly don't mind younger, cocky, athletic teams getting the pants beat off of them, either. The old couple seem really nice, so I wasn't disappointed they were saved. At least they didn't give up. Look at the couples in the past, and how some of them quit halfway through every leg!
