I liked the cowboys, but hey, that is the game. Kent is a wussy and I can't believe Vixen puts up with him. Zev is still annoying as heck and I still can't stand Mallory or her stupid father.
I'm so very bored now. Bland teams and bland European locations. Honestly, I'd rather they go "Family edition" and start including more US locations because it seems like they're running out of ideas in Europe (riding a bike and delivering luggage??).
I'm not a big fan of the U-turn, but I don't blame the Globetrotters for using it in this situation. I think in a race for a million dollars if the game allows you an opportunity to all but ensure you get to the next round you take it. Especially if you're at the back of the pack.
I really dislike the teams blatantly giving their competitors answers though. I don't mind a situation like in India where racers walked to find the hloy men together, but the way it was done today really makes the show less interesting.
I hope the producers do something about that in future installments of the show.
Agreed. It's one thing when teams work together, but this was a group effort to oust the Cowboys with few of the teams actually doing the road block.
I also don't like that the U-turn was so close to the check-in mat. It made it almost impossible for the team that was U-turned to have a chance. It would have been a lot fairer to have the U-turn earlier in the leg.
That cheese fondue looked awfully nasty, BTW.
I think it looked ok, but it's not something you can eat in a hurry easily.
Sorry to see the cowboys go, I was hoping to see the goths leave this week. Vixen is ok, but that whiner Kent needs to get his ass kicked. Zev needs to shut the hell up, and someone needs to give his parter a medal for putting up with him.
I'm rooting for the Globetrotters to win now.

I'm with ya. Kent is a crybaby, but I like him more than Zev and Mallory. I can't stand those two. I do like Zev's partner so if they manage to win I will at least be 1/2 happy.
I don't want Mallory or her dad to win at all. I know a girl who is just like Mallroy and she is annoying as heck. This dumb chick I know is always happy and sees everything through rose colored blinders. She married this Soldier who ended up sending pictures of himself "saluting" so to speak and love text messages to another man's wife and she found out about it and got mad at the other woman who didn't ask for any of this. This guy also sent me emails detailing his sexual escapades with a chick in a porta potty at the KY Derby last year. Now this chick's husband is getting thrown out of the Army for being a lazy bum and all she posts on FB is how she loves him and how he is a wonderful husband, even though he will have no job in about a week and they are getting kicked out of Army housing and will lose his Army medical insurance - oh and they have a two month old baby.
Well anyway the point of this rant is Mallory reminds me of this chick and I just want to slap the smile off her face.
It sucks that the Cowboys went out like that, but I don't blame the Globetrotters one bit for their decision. If I'd been in their position, I probably would have done the same.
I just wish Kent and Vyxsin went out before the Cowboys. I don't mind Vyxsin (most of the time), but Kent is just awful. Vyxsin literally carrying Kent in that cart was rather illustrative of their racing so far.

Man, there's some real Zev haters around here. 
I've always liked him and I appreciate his candid honesty. I can relate to him a lot as well, as I feel like I'd be complaining about the same things he is.
I don't normally like the Mallory type of people, who are so happy all the time you just want to hurt them, but for some reason I actually like her. Instead of irritating me, her happiness makes me smile too. I feel in a better mood when she comes on the screen, and people that can do that are rare.

I understand Zev is retarded or autistic or whatever, but he is annoying. He comes across like he is smarter than he lets on and is just using his mental illness for sympathy and to get over. I get the impression that Zev is saying, "Let me play the mental angle so people will kind of go easy on me when in reality I am a cold and calculating SOB who knows more than I am showing." I don't have no sympathy for him.
Mallory lost me last season when she found out they were going to Africa and she commented, "ohh good! I can hold little African babies!" Like they are freaking baby pandas or some other creature other than human. And the looks her father was giving the folks in Africa had "I hate you people" written all over his face. I have hated them since then.

I don't really have an opinion on Zev and Justin as persons, but I thought it's really impressive how two weeks in a row they did the more difficult task and still came in first. They must be really good at navigation.
There aint nothing wrong with Zev. He over played his dumb act and lost the passports. This time he tightened his shot group so to speak and is still pretending to be mentally handicapped, but not overplaying it to the point where he will do something dumb this time.
Wow, I think you are giving Zev way too much credit here.
I don't think he, or anyone else, has claimed that he is so mentally handicapped that it affects his intelligence. They have said that he has Asperger's, which affects his social skills and makes him a little awkward around people, lacking some tact perhaps. In fact they have barely even mentioned it this season, only once that I can remember (in one of the first episodes). So I don't think that Zev is playing dumb at all. He seems like an intelligent person who sometimes says things when he should keep his mouth shut instead (like when he complains about stuff). So I agree that there ain't nothing wrong with Zev, and I think that he and his partner would agree. Besides some awkward comments, he doesn't act any more or less dumb than the other racers.
Wow, I think you are giving Zev way too much credit here.
Thanks for clearing that up. I thought he was autistic. Heck there ain't nothing wrong with him then so I really don't like him now. I had a small amount of respect for him completing tasks when I thought he had a mental handicapp, now that he just can't hang with certain folks. Heck I got asbergers too! I don't like crowds, but I aint annoyiing like he is. I really hope he loses now.
Man, there's some real Zev haters around here.
I like Zev, too. I don't find him annoying; I actually find him pretty funny, most of the time. I'd be happy to see them win the whole thing.
It's too bad the cowboys got eliminated, as I liked the way they raced. I keep hoping it'll be Kynt and Vyxin next, mostly so that Kynt goes. I've no problem with Vyxin most of the time, but Kynt is such an idiot...
I don't really care much about Kynt and Vyxsin either way, but my opinion on which of them is the strongest keeps changing. In the last couple of episodes Kynt has clearly seemed to be the weaker player, complaining about things that are just silly instead of finishing the task. But in the beginning of the season, when Vyxsin was having her little meltdowns, Kynt seemed much stronger and was good at diffusing the situation. So I guess they really do make a good team in the sense that they are very perceptive of the other person's state of mind and change their own attitude accordingly.
I like the Goths and I hope they win.
