That was a good leg of the race. Chris and Brett needed to just stick with one. If they had stuck with the poem one after the first time they would have beat Christy and Colin probably. They made a lot of bad choices along the race though so it was only a matter of time. I’ve been surprised that no one ever mentions Tyler and Korey when they have U-turns. They just got 1st 4x in a row! They have to see them as a threat. I didn’t like the Afghanimals last time and don’t really like them now. I didn’t see it mentioned but I died laughing when the one got all excited to see the stray cat😂 I had to rewind it because I didn’t know it was him at first! I’ve never seen him that animated and over a cat, lol. I think I want Korey and Tyler or Team Fun to win. I’d be ok with Nicole and Victor only because of him, she is just so whiney and he’s the one that has really pulled them along for the most part. I loved that when one of the team members (can't remember which one it was) got so excited over a cat. I thought "Yeah, he's a cat person!" I'm a cat person too so I love seeing others who are cat people. Tyler and Corey have really done well this season and you are right, no one really sees them as a threat and that is surprising. I don't care for the Afgananimals either. I would love to see Tyler or Korey or Team Fun win too. I'm okay with Nicole or Victor but I'd rather either of those two teams win first. Lastly I'd be okay with Christine or Colin, but they aren't one of my favorites. Neither are the Afgananimals. They are my least favorite to win.

I wonder if other teams actually know the order of who arrived on the mat. Back at the beginning of the show, the teams used to eat together and stay in the same place. It doesn't seem as if that is the case any longer. I think I remember one episode where it wasn't until they arrived at the airport when they found out which team had been eliminated. Or I could be totally wrong.

I would like to see an episode called "Behind the Amazing Race" - that shows some footage of their rest/down time. Where do they sleep? Do they have a shared meal? Etc.

I was sorry to see Team Fun eliminated tonight and wish it had been the Afghanimals. Their pettiness over Victor and Nicole voting for them really ticked me off. It's not like they were actually U-Turned that leg of the race. Looks like the other teams are going to gang up on Victor and Nicole just because they aren't *Racers*. I'm still rooting for Korey and Tyler for the win.

I am SOOOO sad Team Fun lost... I kinda cried.. They are just super cool people and Colorado ties!!! whoot whoot..
I have to say I used to despise Christine or Colin but they really grew on me this season. I keep waiting for him to explode and so far so good.
I would say the only team I don't think I want to win is Afghanimals.. they have been so cocky and full of themselves...
Korey and Tyler I think are my top pick.

Im so sad team fun left! I knew when she didn’t really check the eggs they would have to go back. The canal challenge was fun to watch. Especially the locals, who seemed to enjoy it except for that one guy calling them idiots lol!
The only team I want to win now is Tyler and Corey, followed by Team Zen I guess. The other two teams I don’t really care for. Team Vic and Nic are okay but she is really getting on my nerves with her whining. They seem like a nice couple but she needs very pessimistic sometimes.

I wasn't too upset that Team Fun went home. I felt bad for Floyd, but was disappointed in Becca when she was so upset that the egg was cracked that she said she wanted to smash it in the guy's face. It wasn't his fault. She admitted that she had a feeling to check them before she left and didn't.

I was rooting for Team Fun and knew when they didn't check each egg that that would be their downfall. And sure enough, one egg was cracked. Oh well, they did well overall and for the most part seemed to have FUN doing it! Love these two together.
I am rooting for Tyler & Corey, followed by Team Zen and then Nicole & Victor and then the Afghanimals.

I couldn't believe she said she would smash it in the guys face when he wouldn't accept it. It was her own fault for not checking them! and then did you notice he wasn't very friendly to her when she returned with the new egg? I like Team Fun but I was happy it wasn't vic & nic leaving
although I agree i'm getting tired of her whining. I remember that from big brother. She really needs to work on her confidence level because she second guesses herself constantly

Wow...this was a rough leg for the bottom 3 teams.
Becca was way out of line with the market vendor. There was something in one of their interviews earlier in the show where they stated that they had a common dream of being on Amazing Race and some other things but that they were also very different people. I guess this is what they were referring to. She lost it last time when Floyd left the AR pouch with their passports someplace.
The Afganimals have been struggling and just for game reasons had to u-turn someone. At least they had a reason to pick Nicole & Victor, maybe not the best one but there was no reason to U-turn Team Fun either.
Victor was incredible...it was amazing how he carried them through that leg.
Corey & Tyler and Colin & Christie were great!! Let the rest of them sort out the U-turn stuff..LOL
Those houses along the canal were so charming!!!

I was sorry to see Team Fun get eliminated this episode. They were my number 2 choice to win. They've had a good run this season but I too feel that Becca blew it big time with what she said right in front of the guy checking the eggs-that she'd like to smash it in his face. Why on earth would she do that? He's the one that has the power whether or not to give you that clue. It's insulting and rude. The only thing I can think of is that while running this race maybe she thought being in foreign countries ( this time Holland) that this guy didn't speak English and couldn't understand her. But I know myself from visiting Holland a few times that almost everyone there understands and speaks English. And yes, they both should have defiantly checked the eggs before getting to the market. I think that cost them the race along with getting lost while on the bike for a bit. I realize I'm giving her a huge benefit of the doubt here. Oh, duh! Just realized-he spoke clear English to her about the eggs. She knew he knew English and she still said it to his face. Never mind. Very rude and insulting. I'm sorry for Floyd-I like him a lot.
I also agree with the Peas about Nicole's whining all of the time. I never noticed it before but wow-she sure did a ton of whining on this leg. I really like Victor-he seems to shoulder a lot of her work when he can-like having her not pedal the tandem bike while she was holding the eggs and so on. Because of the whining my favor of them is going down.
Love, love, love and always have Tyler and Corey. They've been my number 1 team this whole season and I really hope they win! They always approach whatever they are doing, whatever country they are in with a wonderful positive attitude and never get angry at each other. I felt sorry for them when that angry Dutch man was calling them idiots. I'd like to see that angry Dutch man stuck in a huge traffic jam in L.A. his first time in the USA trying to navigate his way around without a GPS or map-he'd be getting lost too. It was wonderful that everyone else was nice and my goodness wasn't that area gorgeous? It looked so beautiful with the houses right on the canal-almost too good to be true!
The Afgananimals-Ugh. Just because Victor and Nicole gave them one vote (and they didn't even get U-turned from it) they decided to U-turn them when they didn't even have to. That's the Afgananimals. They play dirty when they can. I never have liked them.
Christine and Colin are growing on me. I'm still angry about the jaguar tooth necklace (not sure I believe they found it on the floor of the jungle) but I have to admit their game play and attitude to each other this season has been really great.
So this is who I want to win in order: 1. Tyler and Corey, 2. Christine and Colin, 3. Victor and Nicole, and 4. The Afgananimals.

We are enjoying the season and, like others, are rooting for Tyler and Korey and Victor and Nicole. Yes Nicole whines a lot but I really like her and think she is adorable. Loved her on Big Brother and have come to love Victor too. What a great guy.
I must be the only person on the planet who doesn't care for Becca. I can only take her shtick in small doses. And her comments to the guy about the egg, that was awful. On the other hand, I really like Lloyd and was sad for him.
Colin has redeemed himself so if they win I won't be upset. Don't like the Afghanimals this season. Liked them last time but not this time.

I laughed at the Afganimals describing themselves as the strongest team. Except for the 1st two legs, they have made errors every step of the way and are really lucky to still be in the race. I would have loved them to be eliminated on this leg and I'm assuming they would have been if it weren't for the U-turns.
Ditto what everyone has said about Nicole's whining. I*just*can't*listen*to*her*speak. Victor is so even and steady, but even he must have a limit.
I hope the final order is Tyler & Korey, Colin & Christy, Victor & Nicole and then the Afganimals.
I do miss the early seasons when they would show the teams sitting down to dinner and socializing after a leg. There were more than a couple inter-team romances, too.

I must be the only person on the planet who doesn't care for Becca. I am sitting right there with you. I do not know what it is about her but I just have never liked her. She has a positive attitude most the time but something about her has always rubbed me the wrong way. I love Floyd, however. I was so happy she came in last but was sad that he did. I was rooting for Nichole and Victor because I just wanted a BB team to win - However, I would be so happy if Tyler & Korey won because they have come in first many times and they seem nice to everyone and seem to appreciate being in other countries. Even when that guy at the canals called said "Are you an idiot or something?", Tyler was polite and said "No, sir, not usually" - I think they deserve to win the most. I'll be okay if Colin & Christina win because they have really changed, especially Colin and they've played a great game, but I really don't want Leo & Jamal to win.

I’m agreeing (mostly) with many of you. I still love Nic and Victor. I guess I’m not noticing the whining as much as all of you. Maybe I’m just so enamored oft hem that I'm not seeing it. I will agree that Victor is the strong and steady one. I just adore him and the adoration he has for Nicole is so lovely. I remember when he was on BB, I couldn’t stand him at first, but then he started to grow on me. It’s gotten even stronger since. I was so worried that they were going to go home this past leg. I was actually pretty happy that it was team fun. I adore Floyd, but like many of you, Becca rubs me the wrong way. She has this all about fun thing going, but an ugly side comes out when the chips are down. It happened last season and then again with her nasty comments to the egg guy.
I also love Tyler and Cory. They’re a great team and have been impressive racers. I’d like to see either of those teams win and then the other team come in second. I realize Colin and Christy have made great strides, but I have such trouble getting past their behavior when they raced before. I know,i know, it was 15 years ago and everybody should be able to change....but, I’m just not ready to love them yet. I also agree about the Afghanimals. Really liked them their first season, but no longer do. Hoping they’ll go next.
Not sure if I’ve mentioned already, but I recently fractured my knee. It’s called a tibia plateau fracture. It happened at the beach when I got hit by a super forceful wave. Incredibly painful, leg sticks straight out in a brace, and I’m non weight-bearing, using a walker (probably for at least all summer) and practically bed-bound....so, I’m watching lots of TV. My dd, whose home from college and helping her invalid mother, has been binge-watching TAR with me. She’s never watched before. We started with season 1 and are now on season 7, the first All Stars season. I bring this up mostly to say that Colin and Christy’s abominable behavior is fresh on my mind. I’m reminded of other teams, or team members, I’ve hated (my gosh, season 6 had some awful people) as well as teams I’ve loved. Like someone else mentioned, I miss those little glimpses we got of life at the pit stops. One thing I’m really glad they’ve done away with isthe taking of all their money and belongings on non-elim rounds. Hated watching them beg in these poor countries. The speed bump is much better. I also love the new requirement where one player can’t do all of the speed bumps. It was so irritating watching great player pull along a rotten one (e.g., Zach and Flo and Freddie and Kendra).

Aw man. That sounds so painful-sorry to hear you're hurting. In other news, I have a rumor about who wins and so far their other spoilers have matched up. If anyone wants to know pm me. No guarantees though. The last survivor spoiler I got was bogus.

Omg, Gale, you have no idea. It happened on the first full day of vacation, first trip to the beach. The pain was ridiculous. By the time my dh got me to the ER (and before he could do THAT, he and ds had to drag me out of the surf), I was sobbing with pain and shaking uncontrollably. When it happened I was terrified; I couldn’t get up and I couldn’t move my leg at all. I think God that he was near enough to hear my cries. I think I might have been dragged out with the waves. So...I spent my entire vacation in pain, propped on a couch in the beach house, moving only to use the restroom and I needed assistance even with that. I couldn’t even get up on my own, even with the crutches. Back home I have a walker so I can get around minimally but much better. My movements are confined to three rooms because I can’t really safely do stairs. It’s a bummer.
As far as the spoiler, I’m always tempted, but then I regret it. I’ll wait to see how it unfolds. I bet some people will want the spoiler though, so thanks for the offer.

It WAS scary Leo e. I’m glad that my family got me safely out of the surf and I know it could have been much worse, but damn it stinks. And I hated that it ruined my vacation. Love the beach and look so forward to our time thefe when we’re able to go. But I’m grateful.
Oh, and my dd and I are now on season 8 of TAR. Anyone remember that one? It’s the family version. Oh my gosh—not my favorite!
So, the finale is on tonight for the current season? Really looking forward to see who gets the win.

I dont know how to put something in a spoiler link...
It is a spoiler thread...
Nicole n Victor were the 4th place team..
So all race teams in final 3... the final destination is Detroit.. super plus for Tyler n Corey because they are from Michigan and go to Detroit often..
Here they go...
