The Amazing Race 1/25 **SPOILER WARNING***
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Now we are left with:

1) The PERFECT couple...

against...

2) A racist, xenophobic model and her grumpy boyfriend.

3) A disturbed, Oedipal manchild and his long-suffering girlfriend.

4) A chronically complaining anorexic woman and her long-suffering boyfriend.

If Kris and Jon don't make it all the way, I don't know what I'm gonna do. Not watch the show, I guess. (Right, like that will ever happen.) I was hoping for Lori and Bolo to stick around a little longer as a "buffer", though. I was starting to like them a lot.

3. Hey, I didn't mean that sarcastically.
I've been for Kris and Jon since this race started, and I will be crushed if they are eliminated.

I think Kris and Jon are terrific. They are so nice to EVERYBODY, and they are both very athletic and play the game well.

Not to mention that Kris is smokin' hot in a bathing suit. And I hear tell that Jon is too from those who know/care.

4. Kris and Jon all the way!
Though I do like Rebecca. I just hope Freddy and Kendra don't win. I can't stand her and her whining and her horrible comments about other cultures.

5. Great episode
I was sort of hoping Kendra and Freddy would be gone this week-- I can tolerate the rest. I am extremely happy that Kris and Jon are still in-- I hope they win.

It was sad to think about Sri Lanka being so devastated not long after they filmed there. For some reason, it really affected me last night. I pray for the healing of their land.

7. Yeah, watching the Sri Lanka stuff was painful
I couldn't help thinking, as I saw the shoreline in the background, that everything I was seeing was wiped out, and many of the people they passed by or interacted with probably killed, only days later.

One of the reasons I love "The Amazing Race" above all other reality shows is that it really does give you an appreciation for people and places around the world.

8. I was glad Lori and Bolo got eliminated
I found them to be really annoying. Sure, the others are annoying too, but for some reason, they get to me more than the others who are left. I think they came in with a superiority complex because they are so fit(bulky)I think they thought they'd steamroll right over the rest. I was always happy when a segment came down to strategy or smarts as opposed to just strength. And obviously cardio is NOT Bolo's strong point.

Lori's voice was like nails on a chalkboard to me too! ugh!

But nothing has pleased me more than getting rid of Jonathan and Victoria! Man, I was literally cheering at my TV that night!

The teams I liked the most are gone already, so I don't really care who wins, but I guess I'd favor Kris and Jon. As annoying as Rebecca and Hellboy's relationship can be at times, they still crack me up.

It made me sad to think of how beautiful Sri Lanka looked, and how sweet the people seemed, and then knowing how much tragedy they have faced since the filming. I was glad they addressed that at the end.

9. what's funny was....
right when the show started, I told my husband that Lori & Bolo had kinda grown on me. :P

But I have an appreciation for those who READ the clues and actually follow the directions. It's a peeve of mine to see some teams just follow along. Remember last time when the twins were in such a hurry they jumped into the water and swam across to Phil instead of just crossing the little bridge like everyone else? THAT was funny!

Part of the game is using your head and not making foolish mistakes.

Still, I'm ready to say goodbye to Kendra!

12. Same here...
I didn't care for Lori & Bola at all but I had just started to like them and then they're gone. :-( I really really really can't stand Kendra and I would scream with joy if she gets kicked out next.}(

11. I thought it was a shame....
they lost, just as I was saying that they would have an advantage over the other teams when that "only six roadblocks" rule started to kick in.
