I cannot believe the Poker Girls gave up. I do think if they stuck with the golf task the would have got the hang of it and finished. I think they might have gotten it if Maria wasn't useless. Tiffany really did get close to ringing the bell quite a few times and with a different partner, I do think she could have gotten it. It was all about leverage. With that said, I am so happy the poker chippies have gone especially after Tiffany didn't even complete the first task herself, too bad for her Dan wasn't there to ring the dinger, dance the jig and hit the golf ball for her too. Tiffany probably would not have gotten much further dragging useless Maria around.
I loved Flight Time after eating the fish: "I don't wanna talk about, get the camera outta my face....BUT DID YOU SEE ME DANCE, THOUGH?!" Bwah! I love them. My biggest laugh of the evening was watching the Trotters dance, especially when they were throwing a little hip into it. I think the other dancers got as big a kick out of watching them as they did putting on the show.
I like how Matt did the Roadblock--calmly walking and counting and getting the number. I loved Gary after the brothers outed themselves. " I guess I should tell Matt he's adopted. " That was great.
Brian's understanding and patience with Ericka tonight was just what I needed to see after the ugliness that was Mika and Canaan. I did think it was hilarious when FT and BE said, "If there's one racer whose name we know, it's Brian. 'BRIIIIIIAN!'" She actually told Brian that his feet hurting didn't count because her feet hurt and it's only her feelings that count. I don't doubt that she was tired after that bell tower, but get over yourself honey. I kept thinking that if Brian had been the one taking so long to count the bells she would have quickly lost her patience and been screaming at him. BRIAN!!!
Why didn't we get to see Phil strip down to his skivvies and swim across the river?
HAYBALES! Oh my heaven! We were just talking about poor Lena and the haybales not three minutes before that popped up. I really hope we don't end up with the same result, that was just horrific the first time around.
I hope the GT's and Gary/Matt make it to the finals, because they are my favorites.

When the 'boys' came out and the camera turned to Maria and Tiffany I could not believe they didn't say, "Wait, you mean there are two token gay couples?" But they didn't. And now they are gone. Good riddance. Why could they not swing that mallot together? I think I would have figured out the physics of it. I mean they knew they could not play the golf game after the first time. But to go back the second, through the water, when they still couldn't hit that ball....
I am glad they are gone. The beauty queen can go next. Maybe they will have a challange where they have to put tape over one member's mouth and we can stand her through the entire episode.
Yes, the GTers were great at the dance. But the father/son and the brothers were great at the golf. I like the mental/counting challanges where they have to slow down and use their noggins.

Message: I think the Globetrotters are such shoe-ins that just to be contrary I don't want to see them win!! I'd rather ''regular'' people won! So, I'd like to see Meghan and Cheyne win. They've played the best game overall, IMO. I was sad to see the poker girls go as they really and truly tried sooooooo hard!

Message: Phil was soooo right when he said Flight Time and Big Easy looked ridiculous, because they did LOL. They are my favorite team, I was laughing so hard when they were doing that dance last night. They looked like they were trying to do the Electric slide or something, it was so funny. Ericka really needs to stop acting like such a biatch, I don't know how her husband puts up with her melt downs. BTW, I meant to add about last week, I loved it when that girl was scared to go down that slide, and the guys were telling her not to. They were just trying to stay in the game, I would have done the same thing.

Sooo glad to see the poker girls go, though I did feel a bit bad about them trying 71 time to hit that bell...love, love, love the Globetrotters...but the memorable thing about last night's show to me was Brian's patience and sweetness with Erika. OMG! I could eat him with a big spoon! She was spazzing out and screaming and he just remained calm and patient and tried to make her feel better, all the while saying loving and supportive things about her to the cameras. What a big difference from so many of the other couples on this show who treat each other like crap when any little thing goes wrong. Loving me some Brian!!

I felt bad for Maria and Tiffany. They just didn't have the upper body strength that would have helped them do well in either task. I'm quite sure I would have failed at both, too. And I imagine they were trying for hours and hours, driving themselves into exhaustion, before they stopped. It wasn't all a matter of getting the hang of it. They must have been so incredibly tired, especially because it was so windy, and didn't have enough energy left to finish the work even if their strategy was eventually correct. I bet their arms felt like they were going to fall off.
I like how they never yelled at each other or got nasty. OTOH, both Brian and Ericka snapped at each other at points--Brian when he couldn't get the car started, and Ericka when she was being whiny about having to walk. I suppose I would have been snappish too, in their place, but I don't like to see it anyway. They did have some nice moments together, as well.
I was surprised that Gary and Matt gave up on the dance as soon as they realized they would have to eat the herring. Actually, I was surprised they picked dancing in the first place. The game seemed to suit their abilities so much better.
I'm glad someone other than Meghan and Cheyne came in first. Spread the wealth!
And Phil's greeting at the mat: "Flight Time and Big Easy... you look ridiculous!" :D

Message: I hope the Trotters win! They are hilarious. Sorry to see the poker girls giving up and leaving the show. Liked them both. The gal that couldn't count the bells is a real pill; won't be sorry to see her leave. It will be interesting to see how the "blond whiner" handles the hay bales next week. I sometimes wonder if any of these people have watched previous years? Surely they would get some hints about playing the game.
