    Epic meltdown by that chick! I can't believe she gave up without even trying.

    I would've laughed even harder if the host would've said that had she actually done the slide and still finished last, they wouldn't have been eliminated. That would've really rubbed salt in the wound.

    I had no problem with the Globetrotters trying to scare her into not doing it. She was just sitting there and they had to wait for her to make a decision. Not fair to them.

    I'll give jungle fever a pass on the math because they didn't have a calculator (though they could have asked, like Globetrotters, for one), but the gay brothers...c'mon. What a meltdown. They pull out a calculator and literally have to perform one act of division, and are forced to wait for the dumbest poker players in the world to help them. It's no wonder some Americans have a reputation for not being too smart.

    When a person signs up to be on this show, they know they are going to have to do certain things. Like Run through airports, ride a camel, pull a rickshaw up a hill, do a funny dance, eat five pounds of nasty food, and slide down something. Why go on the show if you can't do these things?

    That is what I was thinking....I am sure she was picked because she has great eyes and is attractive, and the whole "We don't have sex" bit....

    They need to just go ahead and do it.....then a 90ft water slide would be easy.

    :D

    I will add to the list: swim, drive a stick shift, ride a bike, and a heights related challenge. If you can't do that, then you really have no chance.

    Even my 9 year old daughter can't believe how lame that chick was that wouldn't go down a freaking waterslide. :rolleyes:

    LOL, I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed the parallel between their spat over not going down the slide and the fact that they don't have sex.

    I get the feeling that guy was frustrated about a lot more than just her not going down the slide, if you catch my drift...

    While she is a ditz and frustrating as hell, dude was still being a complete jerk. He seriously almost tossed her over. If the dude is really all Christian then he should have done some Christian talk to get her to take the "leap of faith" challenge. I mean, I understand his anger, but jeebus, him losing his cool does not help get the task done. It wasn't the first time either, for I recall him being a complete douche during the duck challenge.

    I felt kind of sorry for the poker girls this week. Not being able to do either of the tasks had to be frustrating. Especially that damn carnival ring the bell thing.

    I was loving every minute of it. I really liked this episode. The final 2 couples were my least favorites so I was glad to see the poker girls struggle. Same goes for the black and white couple. It was hilarious seeing how much of an idiot that pageant drama queen was.

    I want the father/son combo or Globetrotters to win.

    I loved every minute of those girls struggles...they were decietful from the beginning and the asian chick was mailing it in on that hammer deal.

    That wind was BRUTAL on that golf course....

    And Salt and Pepper need to go, she is annoying.

    Maria (asian chick) was definitely trying to ride Tiffany's coattails. That was some pathetic hammering.

    Flight and Easy (the Globetrotters) are my all-time favorite competitors.

    "Let's make a pit stop in Amsterdam."
    "Yeah, we'll hit up the Red Light District and just tell 'em we had to use the Internet."

    "I'm on gnome duty."
    "We ain't even have gnomes in the hood."
    "What should we name him...? Louisiana Homie? Harlem?"

    I literally had to change the channel when the brothers started shedding tears at the pit stop, and apologized for whining and bickering during the needle-in-the-haystack challenge.

    The only remaining team I don't like are "salt and pepper". I would've gone insane during that haystack challenge!

    The Brothers did the trotters dirty, but the trotters gave up, taking a 4 hour penalty? What? They could have sent in the other one....

    Very strange ending....like they almost gave up.

    That was just plain dirty.

    And it was strange that they gave up. But i dont think you can just send the other person in...

    They were my favorite team. Oh well...i guess as long as the brothers and the whining miss america don't win them its all good.
