    I would go to Seville RIGHT NOW to do that running with the bulls/balls thing!

    I love the way Brenchel is playing the game.

    AMEN. And good freaking god Rachel, SHUT UP. That was the way this challenge was supposed to go -- you get hit. So stop complaining about it.

    Also, to whichever Afghanimal hurt his knee...I know from personal experience that if you knocked it out, you wouldn't be standing, well alone walking.

    Sad to see Jet and Cord go. I understand why Leo and Jamal did it but I would rather have had Brenchel go. And Jennifer and Caroline are the luckiest people ever.

    Pool update:
    Amy - Dave and Connor 102
    *bumpy - Jet and Cord 78
    IJAG - Brenchel 76
    Inky - Leo and Jamal 59
    WolvEagle - Jennifer and Caroline 37
    *Huggy - Flight Time and Big Easy 27
    *JayFerrar - Margie and Luke 25
    *Wenders - John and Jessica 24
    *MTM - Bopper and Mallory 7
    *TigerVols - Joey and Meghan 5
    *BNWriter - Natalie and Nadiya 1

    No likable teams left in the race. Will be hoping the Brenchels win just to send the other teams into a death spiral of whining.

    Couldn't quite make it out but did the Blondes complain when the Cowboys did not tell them exactly where the clue was?

    Sad to see the Cowboys go, but brilliant move by the Afghanimals to eliminate their biggest threat.

    I have no clue who to root for now. I can't believe Caroline and Jennifer are one of the final three, considering that they were lucky to make it out of the first leg. I'm sick of hearing about how old Dave is (I think some of the grandparent teams that have run this Race didn't go on and on about their age as much as he does). And Brenchel is Brenchel.

    I'm not even a Liverpool fan but that first challenge would have been EPIC. And next week's finale looks like it might be one of the best ones ever.

    Also, in regards to the pool...pretty sure Amy won. You can pick up your fruit basket at the door. :p

    I was bummed when Jet and Cord were eliminated - I want to see them win. Then I was bummed when Leo and Jamal were elminated. The previous season, I thought they were obnoxious. A PR person must have gotten hold of them because they were really cool this season.

    Who knows - maybe my team actually will win. Unbelievable after all the breaks they've gotten.

    The Afghanimals were the opposite of "really cool." I'm not sure they ever had a competitive edge the entire race.

    The Brenchels will win. And, if that means they will never show up on another CBS game show, I'm OK with it. Even though I loathe her.

    You know what this means: Brenchel is one step closer to procreating.

    They prefer to be called Brenchel, not The Brenchels. The other teams never got the memo.

    I hope it's as great as the fruit basket I got when I won last season.

    They tricked me into thinking Leo and Jamal were going to pull off third place when Rachel screwed up the challenge. Since I've been tired of my team's whining, I guess I'll root for Caroline and Jennifer. With all of Dave's complaining about his physical limitations, why didn't he do challenges like memorizing poetry or shaving the balloon?
