Well….that sucked. Fun leg, thoroughly enjoying the various tasks, lovelovelove Zev & Justin, easily one of my favorite teams ever on this show. And then they go an lose a passport and never do figure out where they lost it. (Even the cameraman had no footage showing…) I was so hoping it was in Thierry’s taxi, weren’t you? They came in first on the leg, and were then sent home. Truly one of the saddest exits ever. Dammit.

However, Lance? Still in the race. Truly, where is karma when you need it?

There are some good teams I’m rooting for - still enjoying Dad & Son, love the Globetrotters, Team Blonde is doing very well, as is Team Jungle Love (hey, their term, not mine.) On the other side, Team Angry Impatient Gay Bros have lost me, Team Spiritual Singers aren’t grabbing me (though I did love how much he got into the monkey thing), we won’t even discuss Lance & Co (stop scaring Phil with your crazy horrible martial arts, LANCE!) and Team Poker Players….wow. No words, except, I’d really rather be watching Justin & Zev.

Also - am I that old or was it cuckoo that hardly any of the teams recognized Jackie O - even later when they had time to really study the photo? Yikes.

Next week looks like Most Extreme Opposites Leg ever. (And don’t you wish the producers would just let Zev run the rest of the race anyway, not actively competing, but just for the experience? Man, I do.)

Hope everyone is enjoying their holiday…how about a free book to go with that? Just send an email to donna@donnakauffman.com with “I need a good read!” in the subject line. Winner will be chosen from the stack of entries and announced here this Friday! Good luck, Blog Babes!

In the meantime, who are you loving on the Race? Who needs to be Philiminated next? DISH!
