Amazing Race16 episodes 7 and 8

Episode 7 Didn't have an elimination--darn good thing, Jet and Cord came in last :( .... Order of the teams were:

Steve & Allie--won the leg at the cost of losing their packs ie clothes, grooming items etc.
Dan & Jordan
Brent & Caite
Louie & Michael
Carol & Brandy
Jet & Cord --bad luck...just plain bad luck

Episode 8

Jet & Cord--completed a different road block than ANY of other teams, had a speed bump, and STILL won the leg! (Note: Steve and Ali attempted the road block, but gave up very quickly to do the other one.)

Carol & Brandy -- a perfect example of the stereotype of the "angry lesbian" -- both of them. Not seeing this relationship last after the race. I think at this point, what is being shown, they have already made up their mind to finish the race "as a couple," but that is the end of it.

Louie & Michael -- Louie's asthma may be what does this team in.

Brent & Caite -- They are right up there with the lesbians as the teams that need to leave soon. At least they can realize how mean the lesbians are too---it is "anonymous" (seriously?!)

Dan & Jordan -- Really hope they make it into the top three.

According to Wikipedia, the next two episodes are entitled:

"Dumb did us in"

"I Feel Like I'm in, Like, Sicily"


"Dumb did us in" This sounds like something just about any of them would say...except maybe Brett and Caite, based on the statement, "I Feel Like I'm in, Like, Sicily," which sounds exactly like something one of them, in particular Caite, would say. "Dumb did us in" is likely uttered at the pit stop check in point. Unfortunately the more I think about it, it sounds like something Louie and Michael or Jet and Cord would say. Hopefully I am wrong and it is neither one of these teams...
*************************************************************************************
Steve & Allie--He was getting extremely tired, and it was starting to show. Bad choices or incomplete decisions were being made on a regular basis. She kept trudging along, but was starting to get whiny.

Jordan & Jeff -- They started going downhill, and it went quickly. It was quite apparent by the end that he especially was tired. She may not have moved quickly enough to suit him, but she did keep trudging along. Sad to see them go--there are a couple of other teams that should have gone before them. But at least now Shannon will have some company closer to her own age.

Joe & Heidi -- Due to a "U-Turn" they are gone! Thank you Louie and Michael--thank you, thank you, thank you. I do feel sorry for the other teams at the elimination station because now they have to put up with him. He thinks they kicked him while he was down--why eliminate someone who was hurt? BECAUSE you were OBNOXIOUS, rude, arrogant, egotistical, and just a jerk in general.

Monique & Shawne -- They didn't stand out. They were nice enough, but they kept falling into "the middle of the pack." They were the third team eliminated.

Jody & Shannon--I really liked this team. They were both extremely positive and upbeat. Unfortunately they were eliminated in episode 2.

Dana & Adrain--They didn't really have a chance, as they were eliminated the first show.
