Is there anyone out there that actually LIKES Charla and Mirna?! I can't even imagine them having any friends. They have to be the most annoying people on television ever. I find myself yelling at the television like a crazy person for all the stupid things they do. They have been very lucky to have made it this far. So many of the stronger teams have run into some bad luck and have been eliminated. I'll be so angry if they bumble themselves into winning this thing! Ok. Enough venting. I'm rooting for whoever can put those 2 out of the game!

I was sad to see Joyce and Uchenna go. I really liked the way they were during the race. I have to admire them for taking the chance on the tight connection.
Although Charla and Mirna are very annoying to me, there are some things they say that crack me up.
I'm rooting for the beauty queens or Oswald and Danny. When he was riding away on the bike just yelling had me in hysterics.

You got that right! They would almost definitely have been eliminated last time if U&J didn't miss their flight and if the blondes hadn't yielded the other two. They totally blew it picking that stupid cookie detour.
But then again, half this game is not taking too many risks and making critical mistakes. U&J jumping on that flight with such a small margin of error was a huge blunder.

I had a feeling it would be a non-elimination round last night, so Eric and Danielle get another chance, I guess. It's kind of funny to see how they sniped at each other constantly during the this leg of the race, but at the end were all huggy again!
It was so good to see Danny and Oswald come in first place--hope they can keep up the momentum!
Otherwise I didn't think it was that exciting of a show. It seemed like half of it was spent showing all the haggling and bickering being done at the airport.

I agree, I thought last night's show was a bit of a snooze.
Honestly, Charla and Mirna annoy me so much that it's almost not enjoyable watching anymore. That entire sequence at the airport counter was just ridiculous. I'm surprised Dustin or Candace didn't wind up and knock her in the mouth. She is so unbelieveably obnoxious!
And then she tries to play it up like they're the honorable team running a "clean race" (whatever that is).
The producers aren't working very hard this season either. It was painfully obvious that it was a non-elim leg when they didn't even bother to play up the race for the final slot. I knew as soon as they showed Charla and Mirna arriving that Eric and Danielle were safe.
If the final three teams are Eric and Danielle, Charla and Mirna, and Oswald and Danny I probably won't even watch the finale.

I cannot stand those two. Mirna is especially annoying but both of them are completely irritating. They are rude and ugly to people and I soooo hope they lose the game.

I like Uchenna & Joyce too and hated that they lost. I don't really like any of the remaining teams now.

I think Eric & Danielle are ridiculous. He acts like such a jerk, but then when they win or something goes their way, he's all kissy kissy like all is well with the world. After this race, if I were Danielle, I'd tell Eric to go take a flying leap!

Thank goodness ... and I totally think that team Cha Cha did what they had to do. It's $1,000,000. I have never understood why people are so weird about using the yield ... it's a race and part of the show. It's not underhanded, it's not like they are locking the other players in their hotel room in the middle of the night or tying their shoe laces together.

I think that Danny and Oswald did what they had to do too. As you said, Michael, the Yield is a legal manuever on the show and a team would be foolish not to take advantage of it if they need to. I sure hope Danny and Oswald get the chance to set the story straight with Eric and Danielle, that they did offer the Yield for cash but that it was the Beauty Queens who chose to use it on Eric and Danielle. Hearing them bend the truth by saying that they asked Danny and Oswald to yield "anyone but us" took them down a notch in my eyes.
Charla and Mirna were slightly less annoying than usual last night. :\

I just kept hoping against hope it was going to be Oswald and Danny who got to the mat first ... not because I particularly like them, but because I just CAN'T STAND CHARLA AND MIRNA!!!
About the Yield ... I agree that it's part of the game and it's legal, but I think there's sort of an unwritten code on TAR among the teams that you don't use it.
I especially thought it was stupid for the blondes to use it on Eric and Danielle, who were already well in last place and marked for elimination. Hindsight is 20/20, so it seems like a good idea now, but at the time Charla and Mirna were right on their heels. I didn't really respect them for kicking E&D while they were down.
And I gotta say ... I felt like Oswald and Danny really wanted to use that Yield and were just trying to rationalize it with the whole we need money thing. There have been plenty of times on prior races where teams had no money (non-elimination rounds?) and I've never seen anyone do that. They all just begged for money. Oswald and Danny didn't even try that first ... they just sold their Yield.
I'm still rooting for the blondes. Despite the fact that they were a little cheesy last night with the way they skirted things with Eric and Danielle (we asked them to yield anyone but us ... LIAR!!), I still like them the best out of the remaining teams.

It was nice to see Danny at least have some misgiving and regret about selling their Yield. They usually have more class than what they displayed last night. However it is near the end and perhaps they had hoped it would help...
I can't stand the blondes. I know this is a game but they irritate me more than even Charla and Mirna. I was rooting for E&D to be eliminated however I think now I would like to see the blondes gone. Yes, Charla and Mirna can be irritating but they really are working well together. Perhaps Charla has learned to tune out that nasally "Charla, run" that she hears constantly.

I think that selling your yield shows far more integrity than begging for money on the street of a country where most people survive in extreme poverty. I think that the episodes where racers were forced to beg for money were absolutely disgusting since they were on a multi-million dollar show from America trying to win a MILLION dollars.
I would yield anyone with no regrets. It has always bugged me that people race, aside from the inherently nice Uchenna and Joyce and Kentucky will talk all this mess about each other, do small stuff the whole race to gain advantage over each other, try to get airlines to shut the door and leave people on the tarmac but no one will actually use the Yield since they have to put their picture on the sign to show who yielded them. If it was anonymous no one would have a problem.
In fact, I wish there were yield signs in life. I would yield the entire park at Disneyland so I could ride Peter Pan without an hour wait.

Michael, I don't disagree about the yield. I'd be yielding my fanny off in that game given half the chance!
I'm of the opinion that the race is a GAME! A game in which the grand prize happens to be a small fortune. In any game, I firmly believe you take every single edge that the rules allow. If the rules say it's fair, it's fair.
People who whine about getting yielded just have sour grapes.
Just one point on the whole begging issue, though ... I know some parts of China are very poor, but not Macao. That's a very well-to-do area of China and the people there are, by and large, transplants from other countries there doing business. Did you notice the large number of English-speakers they ran into?
Although I do get your overall point and I pretty much agree. When you're in some of these countries, begging money from people is pretty low ...

Awww, I sad.
Although the way the race was going, I kind of figured Danny and Oswald weren't going to be able to make up enough time to overcome their 30 minute penalty and would lose anyway.
I hate to say it, but I think the Beauty Queens are going to win (please, please don't let it be Charla and Mirna--especially after another round of Let's Imitate the Cab Driver tonight). Eric and Danielle are so going to break up after the race.

Awe... bummer! But at least Danny got another zinger in ... "Teletubbies go to war"
Sad, but of the final 3 I have to vote for Myrna and Schmyrna, but I wouldn't be sad if everyne got caught in a typhoon in Guam and no one won,
