Thank Goodness for a Non-Elimination Leg!

A lot has happened on The Amazing Race since I left for my trip. I continue to love this show, even as some of my favorite teams have been eliminated. I was bummed to see Terry & Tom eliminated last week (although why were they swimming with the boat?), and Lauren and Duke before that stank as well. Mary & David are emerging as my favorites. They also might be one of the first teams who are actually in need of the money. I'm also finding that every week I like Peter and Sarah less and less. Actually, Sarah is fine - it's Peter I don't like. What a jerk. Last week was the worst - why would you make your girlfriend (who, by the way, only has one leg) climb a cliff? Geez louise.

So on to last night's episode. It sure seemed like the theme of the show was Peter's snarkiness. Snarky on the train, snarky at the airport, snarky with the crocodiles, snarky snarky snarky. I am so over him, and I think that Sarah is as well. I get the distinct impression that even though she wants to win, she almost hopes that they get eliminated so she can be done with the relationship sooner rather than later.

I love when they do legs in India. How they react to being there kind of separates the teams for me. I hadn't really liked the moms until last night and their reaction to being in India. Very different from the teams who talked about how horrible it smelled. You're in a foreign country; be respectful.

I was so glad to see that tonight was a non-elimination round. I really like David and Mary, and I hope that they can overcome the new non-elimination penalty. Hopefully there will be a point where the teams all bunch so they can pull back ahead.
