Seriously, learning an Asian language is probably the key to winning the race. 
Tammy in a Bikini next week, WIN
Ok, well, I am not too happy about seeing margie and luke in the final 3, I hope they don't win, i hope they come in 3rd.
Cara and Jaime are the epitome of the bad American traveler, putting down the local culture and such. I recal a team a few seasons past, can't remember, but they stood out, who was also bad at this. I just hate how they treat locals. For that alone, I do not want them to win either.
Really, the only obvious choice right now is Tammy and Victor for winning IMO. So that is who I will be rooting for.

Would you really piss yourself though? Even for a million dollars?
oh yes, i definitely would for a million dollars, its just pee
^And I'm sure they can shower and change at the pitstop. I probably would have done it if it meant staying in the race and getting the cheerleaders out.
Good episode, but man I hate the cheerleaders. They started out promising, and then they just turned Ugly. Brent, were you thinking about Freddie and Kendra as being the "ugly americans" who actually won? I hope that doesn't happen this year. Go Tammy and Victor.

Given that it's probably illegal to piss outside in the US, I can only imagine the penalty in China... especially in public at a tourist trap in the middle of the day. 
My wife and I thought we noticed relief on Jen's face at the beginning of the episode, when Phil told them that they were the last to arrive. It's like Jen shut down during the swimming challenge, and never recovered.
Wow, that sucks for Kisha & Jen. I know when you gotta go, you gotta go, but they were right there close to the pit stop! If Jen really wanted to stay in it, she would have buckled down and held it until she and Kisha got to the pit stop. Drinking all that water at the Roadblock was a huge mistake; not just because it made her have to pee, but because water fills you up and would make it harder to keep down the food you're trying to eat. That said, I absolutely hate eating challenges.
I agree with you, Spiffy, it looked like Jen had completely shut down after the swimming challenge. When Phil told them they were still in it, Kisha was happy, but Jen just looked drained and disappointed.
I feel bad for Cara. Jaime's the epitome of the "ugly American." She's bossy and snippy and shifts blame for everything that goes wrong onto others. When Cara calls her out on it, she just shrieks at her.
I'm still rooting for Tammy. Oh, and Victor, I suppose.

Without a doubt, hold it until you can't physically do so any more and then if you need to just piss yourself.
He is a spoiled little bitch.
I can't believe that the cheerleaders spent three hours looking for that clue box - after ten minutes, they should have retraced their steps and then started out all over again. Their last taxi driver should have gotten get a big tip - he defintely kept them in the running for the million dollars.
I'll be rooting for Tammy and Victor, but only because they are the least objectionable.
Tammy and Victor would be almost a shoo-in if they had used the U-turn a little more wisely. Kisha and Jen may have been able to beat them in a foot race, but that's assuming they'd be close in the first place. I don't think they were that big of a threat to Tammy and Victor (as others have said, Jen kind of shut down at the end). Luke and Margie were the bigger threat (well, Marg was- she's been carrying the team): Strategically, they were the team that should have been U-turned. Besides, I would have loved to have seen Luke throw a hissy fit if they had been targeted.

You're Chinese! You should know what it's like to be deaf!
I liked the two sisters, but that one was stupid as heck. I would have been peeing all over myself as I looked for the pit stop, I wouldnt care. If I was her sister I would have choked her in front of the host.
As for the Chinese couple, I hope they lose just because they U-turned my favorite team. I dont care who wins now, as long as it isnt them.
