    He's pretty verbally abusive too. Wouldn't be shocked if he has hit her.

    He's turning out to be a bigger douche than Florida couple guy.

    You mean an all 2nd place deal? I was thinking that would be cool a long time ago, that you get a bunch of 2nd and 3rd place teams and have at it.

    Jet and Cord....FRICKEN AWESOME !

    There is a fine line between annoying and extremly positive... or is that the same thing?

    I find her charming and surprisingly competitive. I laughed out loud when she tried to kick the board after the headband challenge in Korea and when she started dancing at the karaoke bar. I don't know, I just find something endearing about her.

    I didn't realize how good looking she was until she scrapped off all the makeup.

    She is positive but she is really pushy when it comes to her teamate.....do you recall her whining about her being tired? And her teamate was like...I do not run marathons, we need to slow down a bit.

    I think the pushiness is a result of the pressure of being so close to have a chance to win the million dollars. I really think Kevin, being sort-of-a-teenager, would've really been frustrated with his dad not doing particularly well in the roadblocks and what not, even though he put a different face to the cameras.

    But really the money is the driving factor, I like the blonde girls charisma (not sure if she's Brooke or Claire), and ultimately I hope they win the race. Also I hope they win because I think they are the biggest underdogs going into the final 3.

    I really hope Jill and Thomas fail...

    You know, the Notre Dame guy isn't nearly as annoying as he came off during the first few episodes. He actually helped out a few other teams on several occasions and they have run a pretty good race.

    The blonde from HSN used to annoy me too, but she's kind of growing on me. Agree with everyone saying she's actually kind of hot once she takes off all the caked on makeup. She looked pretty good dancing in that karaoke bar...

    I like the doctors, but they are kind of dull.

    Now that the biker couple is finally gone, I'm not really rooting against any of the teams. I wouldn't have a problem if any of them won. They are all 3 good teams.

    Uhh IMO Kevin was condescending towards his father on camera. I wonder what he would be like with the pressure of final 3.

    You guys really need to watch the elimination stations....they give a lot more detail.

    Yeah, the Notre Dame guy (Thomas) has gotten a lot better and less annoying and actually is a good player. Jill and Thomas are a strong team that work pretty well together. And of all the contestants, I think he is the strongest along with Brook (blonde shopping host).

    I also would not have a problem if any of them won. Throughout the race, I have been rooting for Brook and Claire, and I don't have anything against the doctors, but Jill and Thomas have grown on me as well. Plus, as I said in an earlier post, it does seem like the Amazing Race desperately wants an all-female team to win, and because of that I have kinda started rooting for Jill and Thomas.

    All that said, the 3 teams remaining are the 3 strongest and it has been that way througout the race. I won't be upset if any of them win, but I would prefer one of the 2 teams other than the doctors.

    He's very condescending... last episode they compiled a handful of his verbal attacks, and I damn near fell off the couch laughing like a hyena.

    Ate one point, he goes: "Just shut up, you're an idiot." Then, he had the stones to publicly rip his girlfriend... "Are you seriously crying? I don't have time for this." Then, he shook his head in disapproval. He continually mentioned that he was trying to grow and nurture his relationship with his GF, but he always resorted back to his douchey ways... he deserved to go.

    Brooke and Claire appear to be the strongest competitors... Brooke's a dime piece, but she reminds me of a yappy little dog. Nat and Cat are solid, but lack enthusiasm/sense of urgency. Very boring team... I wonder if they're a closet couple? ND couple has also been consistent throughout the entire race, but the girl is clearly the weakest competitor left in the race.

    Agree.
    I watched those recently and they all seem, well, like a friendly family.
    It certainly sheds a better light on the true relationships of the teams.
    In regards to the Kevin/Father relationship, to me, it seems quite obvious he really loves his dad. But, Kevin's father did seem to express that he didn't have much confidence in himself, and that he wasn't to driven to keep going.

    ND: "Sir, do you know what a Google search is? Do you even know what the internet is?"

    Cabbie: "No. I got GPS."

    Definitely... correct me if I'm wrong, but Kevin/Dad, Nick/Vicki, Brooke/Claire, little country girl/Dad, and Chad/fiancee are all returning? They were all shown in the preview...?

    Without a doubt... Nat's definitely the man in the relationship.

    they can't blame the cabbie though, because once they saw they were not getting anywhere with him, they should have told him to stop at a hotel or something just like the other team had done.
