Gooooood riddance.

Having Mallory on the Race with Bopper may extend Team Kentucky's stay a few extra legs. But my god, she was not kidding when she said she was bad at navigation. During her first season, she and her father drove around Dubai, lost in the desert, for about 10 hours.

"You look like a black turkey" should have been tonight's tagline.

 

So happy to see the twins gone, irritating beyond belief. I am not a fan of the All Star format but do like the rodeo guys.

 

I'm pulling for Dave and Connor since they had to leave with an injury the first time they competed.

The producers should have brought back other teams like them, those who had bad luck such as getting stuck with a poor cab driver, the rockers who lost their passports or those sister who had to find the message in the bales of hay.

Other than maybe Bopper and Mallory and John and Jessica, the rest of this year's teams have had two chances already or are annoying.

Does anyone really want to see Brenchel or the You Tube twits again?

 

I had Dave and Connor when they were on the first time and am forever indebted to Wenders for managing to pull them for me again. There are so many teams to dislike this season it may be too annoying to watch.

 

Refresh my memory on how the cowboys lost Amazing Race.

They just seem unbeatable and one of the shows it seems like they eight or nine legs but I don't remember how they got eliminated.

 

I had to look it up because I had forgotten. They lost to Dan and Jordan, the brothers (one was on Big Brother I think?) and it was fairly close. The brothers got upgraded to first class on their flight, so they got an initial jump and then they sped through the memory task.

 

How in blue hell did they manage to get Mallory ready to go so quickly?
