The End of the Race!

This race was really interesting and close.... First Hour I found it odd that at the beginning of the first hour Dave said that he didn't view Rachel as his wife, he viewed her as his girlfriend. WHAT?!?!?!?! That was absolutely baffling to me and I just can't believe he said that. With a view like that they'll be divorced in a month. On team Brendon/Rachel, Rachel decided to be a big baby again and wine and complain about everything. I am now completely adamant that they should NOT win the race. I am VERY surprised they even made it this far. At the beginning of this leg of the race Rachel and Dave got stuck behind at the beginning (which I was not sorry for at all!). Those two seem to have WAY too many problems in their marriage and in the way they handle themselves in the race, not as bad as Brendon and Rachel though. It made me disappointed that the other teams had to wait till sunrise for their clue which gave Rachel and Dave time to catch up before they all moved on. ROADBLOCK: Those Japanese have weird game shows (although they'd probably say the same about us). During this roadblock teams had to run as fast as they could on a treadmill while grabbing enough chickens and jumping onto the platform at the end of the treadmill, and to be honest I'm not sure I could have done it. Art and JJ had problems with it at the beginning but they were ultimately the first ones that were successful (which was awesome!!). I was glad to see Brendon/Rachel and Venessa/Ralph also have a lot of trouble because it gave Art and JJ time to get ahead! DETOURS:

1. Sushi: This detour was just really disgusting for me because I despise sushi, it's REALLY DISGUSTING
2. Sumo Photo: This was just really weird, I don't know if I could do this one either! I don't know why anyone would do it. Although given the choices, I might of picked it.

The first team to arrive ended up being Rachel and Dave which makes me sad they keep winning. They DO NOT DESERVE THAT MILLION!!! At least Art and JJ were number 2, they say they are going to win and I believe it. I'm not too torn up about who got eliminated but I wish one of the other teams had been. ELIMINATED: Venessa and Ralph Second Hour I noticed in the first part of this hour that Rachel and Dave were starting to get cocky and I was hoping that it would be what lead to there eventual defeat. I was kind of shaking inside when they were climbing the building at the beginning because that is one of my worst fears (especially when they had to go down head first). SO SCARY!!!!! I was also really disappointed when Art and JJ got lost. They got way behind and I was starting to think they would never catch up. Imagine my surprise and enjoyment when they pretty much propelled forward after finding the twin towers and finishing that quickly enough to get back into the race! I was hoping it would of taken Rachel and Dave longer to do the roadblock so Art and JJ could catch up, but they had to finish that first too. I could see Brendon and Rachel having more problems (with themselves more that the race). Rachel was, of course, being a whiner baby about everything again. Rachel and Dave again finished the part of the race where they had to rescue a distressed swimmer first although this is where Art and JJ started getting really close to passing them. Rachel and Dave did make it to the finish line first but when they did they had not completed a roadblock and they had to be sent back (which I was glad about, because it put Art and JJ in the lead who were already working on the roadblock) ROADBLOCK: They had to sled down a hill and then throw a little disk into a goal (which might not seem hard but it looked hard). Art and JJ had the most trouble with this roadblock than probably any other challenge (and this was probably the most frustrating). By the time Rachel and Dave got there they were still working on it, but they didn't finish before them. UNBELIEVABLE EVEN when they had to go back!! At least two made it to second. I still can't believe Brendon and Rachel made it this far!! WINNER: Rachel and Dave

10th Leg

Rachel and Dave start out this leg by saying they're the strongest?? Since they cheated Art and JJ (who is probably my favorite team in this race) I don't much care for them and I hope they burn in the end. Rachel and Dave also talked about having to pay respect, I personally can't see them paying much respect to anyone or anything. I just don't think it's within their capabilities.

I can't believe that teams just passed up what is probably one of the easiest fast forwards!! All you have to do is shave your head......FOR 1 MILLION DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!! I'd shave my entire body!!! I can't believe Rachel (from the Brendon/Rachel team) started crying, oh wait... YES I CAN!!! She is such a baby. EVERY LEG, and I mean EVERY LEG she has cried! Such a challenge is nothing to cry over, you either do it or you don't but there is no need to cry over it! She is sooooo full of herself, she stated that she "needs hair to be beautiful" while the women who did it in a previous race could be beautiful without her hair. She shouldn't be concerned with that (especially for 1 million dollars, and especially since she already had someone who would of done it with her and was going to love her even with a bald head). Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they didn't take it and get first! This team is just so strange and I really don't think they are going to win.

I do however like how Bopper and Mark decided to get down and shave there heads, that's a smart team! I've always liked them.

I don't understand why Art and JJ didn't take the fast forward though. They were so concerned with all the other teams not taking it but they didn't take it themselves. I suppose it's because they were hoping that a lot of other teams would get in a race over it and they would be able to get farther ahead.

It's funny how Rachel (from the Brendon/Rachel team) talks about being upset if she's beaten. Really?? *sarcasm* I didn't know she got upset!!! When (and yes, I say WHEN) they lose she is going to cry so much that all the perspiration in the air will cause it to rain almost instantly! That's how big of a baby she is! Art and JJ call them big brother, how about big baby?

I thought the elephant challenge was absolutely disgusting!! Even though I like elephants, and the part of the challenge where they had to dress up the animal didn't seem too bad. It was the part where they had to scoop the elephant poo into wheelbarrows and wheel them away that I thought was just wrong.

I like how Art and JJ decided to do the Pack - a - box, because it was different (even though it seemed harder) and they were able to pull it off and make it to the next pit stop in time.

I thought the speed bump that Bopper and Mark had to do was just wierd! They had to paint a tiger on someones belly, why????? How can the man being painted on be o.k. with this?? I just didn't understand it.

I don't like how Rachel and Dave keep beating Art and JJ and ending up in first!! I still think Art and JJ have the best chance of winning (especially if Rachel and Dave have more emotional problems in the next leg. I think it's funny that Brendon and Rachel actually think they can win when Rachel is obviously too big of a baby to win!

It's interesting that this leg was really the first bit of trouble that Art and JJ had with each other. It was the first time they had ever gotten mad with each other or frustrated with each other. All the other teams have been doing that much more often (which is why I think Art and JJ have the best chances of winning, if the next challenges are the right ones). I was absolutely thrilled that Art and JJ didn't get eliminated!

I was not so thrilled at the team that did get eliminated as I liked them too!! I will miss them!

Goodbye

ELIMINATED: Bopper and Mark

Beginning of this blog!

I'm going to start out this blog talking about how I didn't like what Rachel and Dave did to Art and JJ. It wasn't fair and it wasn't right to betray a promise like that. Even if they didn't want to because they thought that the other team was too far behind to catch up they should of done it to keep up relations with Art and JJ.
That said.... I like Art and JJ (probably most out of all the remaining teams) and I think they have the biggest chance of winning this thing. I really hope Brendon and Rachel go home soon, I'm getting REALLY tired of all the whining and crying that Rachel does!!! How old is she???? Maybe if she was five years old I would understand.
Since the incident with Art and JJ I've been waiting for Rachel and Dave to go home!!! They don't deserve to win this race anymore (I don't think they have a shot at beating Art and JJ anyway). Art and JJ are right when they say that it's better to work with your best friend than your wife (or husband) because you can just go through the challenges without all the emotions (which I think will be Rachel and Dave's undoing)!!
Another team that I really like are Bopper and Mark. I don't really think they are going to win (mainly because they're pretty old and there are a lot of young teams in the competition that can probably outdo them in the challenges, especially since they have a little ankle problem on their team), but I wouldn't be disappointed if they somehow managed to pull it off. I just really like their attitudes and their personalities.
