I was thinking it was a good thing the truckers didn’t get uturned bc the trucker guy couldn’t have made it after the desert search task.
Bummed to see the Olympians go, but feel like her whining in the first hour contributed to their downfall.
Agree Jenny of Jenny/Jelani is very annoying.
How funny that so many of them were disappointed that there wasn’t actual skydiving. I would have been greatly relieved! 
Such spectacular scenery in the sand-skiing task. I love how Tyler and Laura seem to be enjoying every aspect of the race.
The trucker team is growing on me. I was charmed when, during the “chain tires together” thing the guy whooped that “I have the strongest girl!”
I loved this episode, and really cannot wait to say good bye to Jenny and Jelani. I don’t mind him, but she is one tightly wound woman! When I was a kid we used to “cardboard sled” down the side of a sand “mountain” in Malibu…but we sure didn’t use skis to get to the top! I was bummed to see the Olympians go too. Having TAR go to Africa (again, after such a long time) was great. It was what TAR “used” to be all about. Off the beaten path and unusual challenges.
Loved the two hour episode, Namibia is so beautiful. Sad to see the Olympians go, they seem really down to earth. She was getting a bit emotional, though who can’t relate to her I told you so moments.
I’m loving Hayley/Blair. I wonder if there’s a part of him that likes being challenged that way. He’s so perfect, he’s probably not used to someone pushing back and criticizing him, relentlessly. I doubt they’ll end up together, but there does seem to be some chemistry there.
I’d love to see the truckers win. Don’t like Jenny, or Laura/Tyler.
Not that long ago. They were there in 2013. I only know this because I know someone who was on that season and I recall the leg where they were waterskiing on a river with crocodiles!
UGH I hate how the Olympians are out. They were my favorite team! Except for Aly’s whining at the end. Jenny and Hayley are annoying, and the only teams I tolerate are the hairstylists and the truckers. Tyler and Laura would’ve been okay if they hadn’t U-Turned the Olympians.
Fun episode tonight!
I agree!
I thought it was a fun episode, too! And I was happy that it was a non-elimination. Matt and Ashley are a cute couple but, my goodness, it was so frustrating watching him in that wooden shoe task. He needed to calm down and focus and if he had listened to her, he would have been through it much faster. Amsterdam is so beautiful, even in the clouds and cold. I had to laugh at Jenny wearing the robe in the hot tub! What was she thinking. Laura and Tyler continue to have fun and to do well. Hayley is a real PITA but she and Blair have a funny chemistry. He has to be one of the most patient people to put up with her without reacting.
RE Jenny…all I could think of is that she didn’t have a bathing suit and didn’t think about going in like Hayley in a shirt and undies.
Yes, I wondered why they didn’t wear swim suits?! Wouldn’t that be a staple item to pack?
It cracked me up how they highlighted Haley’s persistent nagging - omg! - and Blair, so patient or so able to just brush her off - it was cute at the pit stop when they went to hug - and then caught themselves - cute. We forget that they haven’t know each other for weeks as we see it happening, but actually for no more than a couple of weeks at this point.
Laura and Tyler - I think they make a great couple. So relaxed with each other and so encouraging.
Kudos to the truck drivers - what teamwork as well - I think their relationship will really speed along after the race is over.
Jenny seemed to actually have some fun this episode - good to see.
Matt and Ashley - they are also great together and she was a SAINT waiting at the shoe place. I would have been pulling my hair out watching!!!
I hope that Blair and Haley make the finale because I want to watch them together as long as possible. Hope that Laura and Tyler make the finale because they work so well together and have performed very well. Hope the truckers make it because I think it would mean the world to them.
Good episode! Blair and Haley were again very entertaining. I was sad to see Matt and Ashley go. Has anyone come back from losing a non-elimination leg this season? I would like to see Laura & Tyler, Blair & Haley and the truck drivers go to the finale. Interesting that 3 of the 4 teams left are blind date couples and the one dating couple remaining hasn’t been dating for very long.
THE B&H hug threw me by surprise. The hate for Hailey runs through all family members.
Blair is a treasure. Haley is a piece of work. Hey Haley, how about thanking him for his fluent Spanish which made you fly through Peru!!??
Love some of his lines to her. Haley: “I can’t even hardly stand you as a teammate anymore!” Blair, upon opening the cab door for her, “After you, TEAMMATE”.
I’m pretty good with all the remaining 4 teams - Jenny has been portrayed to be a better team member of late on the lawyer team - he is TOTALLY laid back!
Jenny seems much happier the longer they are away. She will be downright zen soon.
Glad that all four teams will make it to the final episode. Hope the roller derby/truck stop couple (they’re not truck drivers, folks - she’s an engineer!) is able to claw their way up the ranks . . . I really would like to see them make it to the final three, even if they don’t win.
Tyler and Laura’s edit has turned pretty sour the past couple of weeks. Hayley and Blair’s has softened. I’m not sure what that means going into the finale but it’s pretty striking. The non-elimination leg this week seemed a little too obvious. Rochelle’s “anything can happen” line was repeated several times. Perhaps that’s a clue for next week. I’ve enjoyed this season a lot, rooting for Hayley and Blair.
I wonder if Hayley and Blair will go together on their free trip to India? I can picture her freaking out in a crowded train while other passengers leer at her. It was nice to see her chip in and push the wheelbarrow to help the team.
The clown was the star of this episode.
