Amazing Race ~ April 29/16 *possible spoilers*

DH can't stand Tyler and Korey (??). He hates that goofy laugh. lol. I am rooting for Burnie and Ashley. I like Cole and his mom better now than I did at the beginning.

I can just say     and save myself a lot of typing. 

Dana gets on my last nerve and I wish she would go. "Shut up! Just shut up!" ugh. And running across that bridge with just one chicken and one coconut? give me a break. 

And also... in these threads -- Survivor, Amazing Race, a few others -- the thread title always says "SPOILERS" or some version of that, so why do people tiptoe around and try to avoid saying names or anything really about the episode? If it says "spoilers" then you can say what you want. 

I think at the end of this episode Brodie and Kurt were so pissed at themselves for wasting that Express Pass the way they did!  Can you just imagine? 

Pjaye-I was also very surprised that no one else picked the seaweed challenge. Carrying coconuts isn't easy and can you imagine doing it in that heat, over a swinging bridge with no tools-like a basket or something to put them in? If I was there I was thinking I'd try using some of my clothing as a tool-like a shirt to fashion a sling with (to hold the coconuts in) and an tank underneath that was okay to walk around in. I wonder if they had rules that forbid that? You are right, that seaweed challenge looked much easier, a bit faster and at least you'd be cooler for sure!

I personally am a fan of U-turns because it adds tension to the race and therefore fun to the race. I was glad Brodie and Kurt got U-turned because although Kurt was very nice, Brodie was cocky and that irritated me. You can win first place more than once and not let it get to your head and act that way-look at Tyler and Corey. In this instance it made sense to U-turn Brodie and Kurt because they were such a strong team and they were running behind. This was probably the one and only time to get them out of the race. I do agree that it was good to see that Brodie and Kurt were gracious when leaving. 

Gale W-it's funny that your DH hates Tyler and Korey's laugh. I think it's Tyler's laugh, but I get them both mixed up all of the time. Anyway, I think it's funny because I love that laugh    I have loved this team from the beginning because they seem to have such fun on the race no matter where they are or what challenge they are undertaking. 

I really like Bernie and Ashley too. They respect and care for each other so much. 

Totally unlike the way Dana treats Matt. Oh my gosh! I cannot stand this girl! Whine, whine, whine. And then she'll pick on Matt a bit more for good measure. I'd love to see them eliminated next week. Poor Matt. I sure hope when he watches this footage he really sees how badly she treats him. 

If either Bernie or Ashley or better yet Tyler or Korey wins I'm happy.

My 5 yeear old noted that Dana was nicer to the chickens than to Matt. (Or in his words "The black shirt lady is mean." (he refers to everyone by what they wear.) She is only nice to the chicken.")

I was shocked that no one chose the seaweed. All I could think was that after that brutal road block last leg with hauling the water up the hill, they were all a little nervous about another similar sounding challenge. For me, when I hear "navigating a busy road" i think "uh-oh!" and then they added both dealing with animals AND suspension bridge and I was definitely out!

I always feel like if you can avoid using the u-turn the first time it shows up, you should, just in case you really need it later. BUT, since they opted to use it, at least both teams worked well together (yet apart0 to make it worth it. I was pretty darn impressed by that strategy and I can imagine that the other teams who were not involved in it all were elated to be so.

Dad and I watch TAR together. We were wondering why they weren't using their shirts, too.
