Originally Posted By LVBelle Wow, great episode! Did anyone else expect to hear, "My donkey is broken!" ala Colin and the Ox? I love the father and daughter team, they're my favorite so far! And I loved the way karma worked out in the end...

Originally Posted By chickendumpling Very fun episode. I didn't expect to hear "My donkey is broken," but I didn't expect to hear the swear words I heard either! LOL. (Both my kids complained about it.) I couldn't believe how mean that one team was being to the donkey. I think you can tell a lot about a person by the way they treat an animal. As for the teams I like, I'm with LVBelle and am really liking the father/daughter team. But, I also like the grandpa/grandson team. DD is routing for the brother/sister engineers, DH likes the hippies and DS is reserving judgment for now. Gotta say that we all LOOOOOVED the way karma came around in the end!
Originally Posted By smeeeko fave teams: brother & sister originally from New Orleans, the goth friends, but especially the dad & daughter and the the married ministers,they seem like good teams.. People that are having a good time and cooperating for the most part. question.. spoiler.. spoiler.. wasn't that team the one that said "karma is a **** and I'm an even bigger one!" that went packing?? I really don't like some of the things he said.. threatening to hurt the donkey and and worse.. maybe they're nice in 'real life' but I won't miss that sort of behaviour. Glad they got sent packing. Also I think it's the same team that stole the cab right??

In the beginning I was hoping to see something good from the Father/Daughter team of Ronald and Christine... gotta root for "my people," you know? But OMG, Ronald is HORRIBLE! He's one of those people who knows better than everyone else, and lets people know it to. What's with going off on Nicolas of the Grandfather/Grandson team at the airport? And then saying to Christine later on, "You dissappointed me?" GEEZ!

Originally Posted By x Pirate_Princess x Oh, bummer...I'm liking the Goth couple...they seem pretty nice to each other, and even though they look frail, they seem to be tough cookies! "I'm not a get down and dirty kind of guy. I'm kind of a priss" I loved that line!
Originally Posted By trekkeruss I'm not really into the Goth/Emo couple; I just can't wrap my head around that whole thing, LOL. One thing that makes me wonder: it seems like it would be a lot of trouble to keep up their appearance during the race. The two girlfriends have talked about feeling strange not doing their usual routine, but let it slide because of the race. I'd think the Goths would let it slide as well, but I guess their looks means that much to them.
