We're down to the final four on The Amazing Race: All Stars, and it's finally getting good. We're seeing some tougher tasks, and some truly all-star caliber game play. Finally.
The big story of the episode was the game play of the beauty queens. After Danny & Oswald offered to yield a team for them in exchange for some much needed cash, Dustin & Kandice paid $45 for Eric & Danielle to be yielded. Some may think this is a horrible move (for both teams); I loved it. It's not like they were backstabbing or cheating - they made a smart move in the game. The girls had saved a lot of money (a smart move), had already used their yield (also a smart move), and were presented with an opportunity to slow down a very fast team. Why is that wrong?
The girls also showed why they deserve to be a top team. They did each task very deliberately, taking the time to make sure they did it right. Remember, not paying attention cost them the race last season - they have clearly learned from their mistake, and are going to be tough to beat. I also liked the game play of Eric & Danielle. They made up HOURS of time on this leg, with minimal swearing (though Eric had plenty of choice words for Danny & Oswald, even after the beauty queens sort of came clean to them). They are going to be very tough to beat as well.
I continue to love Danny & Oswald and hate Charla & Mirna. I can't handle Mirna's constant yelling. And I was also glad to see Mirna's poor driving finally cost them some time on the race (both this leg and how much time they clearly lost on the last one). Hopefully Danny & Oswald can make up some time and knock Charla & Mirna right out of the race.

I still can't believe that we have teams who think that this race is an opportunity to exhibit their morality to the world. Using the Yield does not make you a horrible person. And obsessing over that belief is what got Danny and Oswald into such trouble, not karma.
