Toni and Dallas  :'(  >:(


I so wanted them in the final three with Dandrew and Ken & Tina. I was holding out for another Nick forgets bag thing. I kep rewinding it to see i they had the bags every time.

I would have run after that taxi like my life depended on it.... drop the bag - who needs clothes for one more leg?

I have to say kudos to Dan & Andrew. They were doing a fairly good job at the dancing and even though they'r cab driver took them to the wrong park they made up a helluva lot of time. And their reaction at the pit stop was so funny!!!!

The insider clips thos week - Dallas and Toni's made me cry cos they were crying and Toni is an awesome mum!

and it was interesting to see a kip with andrew talking about the roadblock he got it wrong like 5 times!!! It makes out like he got it wrong only once so Dallas must ahve got it wrong LOADS of times!



It really is too bad about Dallas & Toni but I'm happy for the hapless frat boys.  I kinda hope they win now, I'm a sucker for the underdog. 
At the roadblock, did the one doing it have to carry all the money and bags?  I missed something there.  God knows I've lost bags myself but I would hang on to the one with ALL THE MONEY AND PASSSPORTS!  What a disaster, I admire how they didn't end up in tears and/or in a fight.  If it had happened in Canada the cab driver would have tracked them down to return the bag. (Not!)  :laugh:

I think I figured out why i dislike the Bobsey twins:  Their ridiculously perfect teeth!  They are so even and straight that they don't even look like individual teeth.  And they are so bright white that they could guide Santa's sleigh tonight.  Americans sure take care of their teeth, I'll give you guys that.

yeah Starr & Nick are too perfect for my liking too! i like the underdogs and i'd love to see Dandrew win now - plus they crack me up!! but i doubt it - did you notice the preview had them mostly coming off planes or in cabs? the other shots had the other 2 teams doing lots of action shots.. i'm thinking they mess up and get way behind. but then dan is meant to be a tourism graduate so who knows maybe they' got an amazing flight and are way ahead & its to confuse us!!!

Yeah it seemed to be that the person not doing the roadblock got taken immediately to the house but the one doing the roadblock had to get at least 2 taxis as they had to get one from the park and then to the flat or they might need more if they have to go back and forth to the park a lot - so theyd have needed the money most - all the other team mate would have needed it for is water or food while waiting for them.

Its funny though cos I frequent another forum specialising in TAR and they always kept saying - oh that toni is definitely in charge she always has the fanny pack - now it makes sense why she did!!

Too bad about Toni and Dallas.  I had a bad feeling about it the minute she passed on doing the Roadblock.  If she'd done it, they'd be in the final three.  :'(

I'm with oilgun, though, in rooting for Dandrew, the unlikeliest of final three-ers.  They must have a guardian angel riding along with them.  ;D

Nick and Starr rub me the wrong way, too.  She has this perfect Princess smugness about her that makes me grin every time they run into a snag.  But they certainly did a great job navigating the ins and outs of Moscow and the subways.

Couldn't Dallas have taken ONLY the fanny pack and leave his backpack with mom?

Next week looks like they will be doing something interesting for a change.  There's been way too much running around and counting stuff.  I was disappointed that we didn't get to see any of those famously gorgeous Moscow subway stations:

Yup, they are!!

Dunno why he didnt leave his ruckack - but none of those doing the roadblockdid. Maybe its in the rules.

Anyways as it was it was his bum bag (fanny pack just sounds weird to me!) that he lost but I guess if he'd only had that he would have remembered it!

I was so upset to see Dallas and Toni come in last and get eliminated  :'( :'( :'( I was really pulling for them, but I usually don't pick the winner. Like I was telling Jess, Memphis didn't win Big Brother and Dan got eliminated much, much too early in Survivor. Anyway, I believe I am alone here in this one, but I am now for Nick and Starr. I have always liked them and they have never rubbed me the wrong way. I had Dallas and Toni, Nick and Starr in a tie for awhile and then I decided I wanted Dallas and Toni to win. The ones who are really beginning to rub me the wrong way are Ken and Tina. I was so hoping that they would not find the clue they missed and get eliminated last night instead of Toni and Dallas. I did like them ok at one time, but their bickering and their indecision about whether they want to be together are getting on my nerves. Dan and Andrew are ok although they have never really been my choice for who I wanted to win. I still hate that the beekeepers (Anita and Arthur) had to leave before anyone even got to know anything about them. They looked like they would have been a lot of fun. I also would have liked Anthony and Stephanie to have stayed around longer.
