And it doesn't hurt them to have the save. I think their goal of most dominant team ever could happen, but it could also be a curse, and we are only getting ready for their great fall.

I guess so.I'm so angry though that they still have the save! What up with dat?! I mean, in survivor, if someone plays the hidden immunity idol, Jeff will never say "Well, you didn't get enough votes to be eliminated anyways, so heres your idol back".
I feel like there was a major power shift to some of the stronger players falling behind. I wonder if that'll effect the double u-turn coming next week. Things could get interesting....

I thought this past episode had some good physical humor. I really like when the show goes to the UK and Maelstrom ' s home. I didn't much care for the mom scolding her daughter. IMO they are a team and the usual mother/daughter dynamic doesn't bode well for any future success. I like them so I hope they nip their issues in the bud.

just watched the episode now, and I thought it was a pretty good one too! It was a close race, dramatic, and funny at times, and the challenges were good. I wished the other u-turn would have been used though on Jim and Misti. Even just used on someone else would be good, because then it would be a closer race to the finish.

Yeah, no one wants to make enemies, and while that's good for strategy, its bad for the producers. Maybe they are trying to save their allotted u-turn for the second one that comes towards the latter end of the race?

Maybe, but I liked it better when they used it right away. Wimps!

I also realized something when watching...Even with one of the best casts here in recent memory, I really don't have a favorite.
Everyone is so laughy and happy, creates drama, and puts up tough competition, which makes for a great cast of racers, but why is there no one I am specifically rooting for hard core? Maybe it really isn't too often when I get a team like Dave and Conner or Joey and Meghan who I just love and want to make sure that team makes it past no matter what, but I just kind of noticed that today. Not sure yet if I like it better this way or not, but it just feels weird.

I can never remember the team names of each person when it is a guy-guy or girl-girl team, particularly brothers or sisters together.

Do you think we have some pretty strong all female teams this season?

Lets see, we have Shelly and Nici, Kim and Ally, and Amy and Maya left as full female teams. I definitely could see Kim and Ally winning the race, in fact they were my predictions to do so, and I like them a lot more than I thought I would. They have won the past 2 legs, so they might even be the team to beat, too. Ay and Maya I think might go a bit farther, but for some reason I do not see them winning. They haven't shown me anything special about them that they could go the distance. And then there's Shelly and Nici...I've got to admit, they are not as bad as I probably give them credit for, and last leg was a pretty goo one for them. However, they are going to have some sort of emotional breakdown even bigger than leg 4, and they will self destruct. I can feel it.

I totally would have used the U-turn on the team that had the save, just to flush it out of the game.

That's what I would have done, too. But, as Jim himself explained, I think the reasoning behind not doing it is because you know 100% you will see them again, so no need to make an enemy out of them.

I agree!
