We've been discussing our saddest eliminations. What teams did you say  :yess: when they were given the boot by Phil. Inquiring minds want to know.  :lol: :lol:

Lake & Michele (TAR9) off the top of my head.
Jonathan & Victoria, stating the obvious.

Jonathan and Victoria.

Also: Peter getting eliminated AND dumped, Ari/Staella getting hosed by a donkey, Susan/Patrick, Cindy/Russel (TAR4), everyone involved in the "Twin Hunt" save JVJ.

Happiest for me:

Nathan & Jennifer (TAR12) - never expected that elimination.
Rob & Amber (TAR11) until I realized later that I wanted Charla & Mirna gone more. :groan:
David & Mary (TAR10 and 11)
Lake & Michelle (TAR9)
Lisa & Joni (TAR9) - Loud and obnoxious
John & Scott (TAR9) - John was too whiny
Ray & Deana (TAR7) - Ray was more annoying the longer he lasted.
Jonathan & Victoria (TAR6) - Both were too loud and immature.
Meredith & Maria (TAR6) didn't race well and just annoyed me with their slowness.
Charla & Mirna (TAR5) - I saw All-Stars first and I couldn't like them after that.

Allison and Donny  Seriously bitter, bitter team.  That by the 2nd episode is worse then almost all fighting coupes (with a few exceptions) for their full seasons.

Then mainly (as this might be cruel) but teams that were hopeless.  Give them the mercy kill and let teams actually race.  Teams like John and Scott jump out in this category.

My picks for the happiest eliminations:

Season 2:  Tara & Wil barely losing to Chris & Alex in a footrace.
Season 5:  Alison & Donny.  I hated Alison!
Season 6:  Jonathan the Jerk & Victoria.  I was cheering when they were eliminated!
Family Edition:  Seeing the Weaver Family come in third.
Season 12:  Nathan & Jennifer -- YAAYYY!!!!  During the end section of the leg in which they were eliminated, I was thinking "Can it be?  Could they finally be eliminated?"  When I saw Nicholas & Donald come in third, I thought "It is!  They're out!"  I wanted to throw a big party!

That had to be the best elimination ever! I never saw it coming and thought it was impossible. I celebrated! :yess:

TAR 1 - LENNNN-EEEEEEE!!! & Karyn - Tough to watch. Tough to listen to. I'm surprised Lenny didn't bring Karyn up to the Eiffel Tower to throw her off as she was complaining about his lack of location skills.

TAR 2 - Gary & Dave aka Itchy & Scratchy - Did not like this team at all. Gary never shut up. Dave looked like he wanted to hit Gary at times. Gary mugged for the camera several times until his annoying elimination in Africa. I'm happy not to have heard anything from him since.

TAR 3 - I could go with the Doublemint Twins, they annoyed the hell out of me, but I won't. I'm going with Heather & Eve. Oooh, we're Harvard Law School graduates. We're smart and pretty. We're going to play dumb and use our bodies to get forward. We're going to fail to read our clue and get eliminated. SHUT UP! GET OUT! Thank goodness the racing gods got to them before they could do more damage.

TAR 4 - David & Jeff aka Team Who? - The only team that I will use a certain person's description from TWoP because it fits. No personality. No planning skills. No brains. No finish line. Second team to get the mercy elimination because they were so far behind in the last leg. Even if they had made it to Arizona with Reichen & Chip and Kelly & Jon, they deserved the mercy elimination because they were so bad.

TAR 5 - Allison & Donny - Her behavior was awful, especially in the dog challenge in Argentina. They're behavior during the second leg was reprehensible.

TAR 6 - (tie) Hayden & Aaron - Why he proposed at the mat at their elimination is beyond me. Hayden's whining, complaining, asking about how she could run the relay in one challenge was too much. Too intense. How Aaron didn't leave Hayden in China is beyond me. Too annoying for my taste. She's attractive, but that doesn't make up for her whining.

TAR 6 - (tie) Jonathan & Victoria - You didn't think I would forget them would you? Jonathan says his behavior was misinterpreted due to editing. I don't think you can make him look any worse or better, plus subsequent shows have displayed Jonathan's true colors. You can't forgive that shove at the mat at the Brandenberg Gate nor can you forgive him not helping Victoria when she cut herself at the mud challenge in Ethiopia. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible.

TAR 7 - Lynn & Alex - There were a couple of candidates who come to mind. Susan & Patrick, Ron & Kelly, but I'll take Lynn & Alex here. They obsessed over Rob & Amber. They were quite mean when they thought she was too thin. Lynn & Alex just didn't belong on the race, IMHO. I did not like them at all and I was so happy when they were Philiminated.

TAR 8 - The Weavers - I did not like this team. I've written plenty about this team before. We know about the patriarch who died in a race. We just didn't need to be hit over the head on this fact in every episode. And their behavior was reprehensible at times. No need to rehash.

TAR 9 - Lake & Michelle - He yelled. She yelled back. My ears needed a break and I got it when they were eliminated.

TAR 10 - Peter & Sarah - Another guy who says editing made him look bad. Ok, maybe I'll give Peter a break since he works with War veterans making prosthetic limbs for them, but his behavior while Sarah was climbing the mountain was not stellar. Lying back, drinking a coke, while Sarah was trying to scale the rock wall was a bit much. Breaking up at the mat is so hard to do. When you're Sarah, it's not that hard.

TAR All Stars - Charla & Mirna - They finished 3rd when they should have been the 2nd to be out. I liked this team until the 2nd episode of this season when Mirna made some really inexplicable moves especially with the taxi driver in Chile. What was that? I wish they had been eliminated in 4th so Oswald & Danny could go to the finals, but it was not to be.

TAR 12 - Ari & Staella - Hated them. Ari's stealing of Ron & Christina's cab was avenged by the racing gods. This is a rule of the racing gods. If you steal someone's taxi, you will be eliminated down the line. The revenge? The donkeys in Ireland and it served them right.

There you have it.

:funny: :funny: :funny:  too true! i remember thinking that myself.  truth be told, mirna is not that bad looking either - i'm watching TAR11 now and she looks pretty good in the little shorts laying back on that dhow to zanzibar. now, if somebody would just epoxy that mouth, i would find this team a lot more tolerable..

4. Lake and Michelle Season 9
5. Lorena and Jason Season 12

Well lets go through the seasons.

Usually I have to feelings either teams that I can't stand or teams who were absolutely hopeless.

Season 1:  Lenny & Karyn - From the 2nd episode this team was so difficult to watch, just bitter bitter behavior an almost all of it from the female.  Paul & Amie, I didn't like Paul wanting to quit every time Amie would start crying, but damn it Amie stop crying......Kim & Leslie (what bitches)

Season 2:  No one, closest would be the Gutsy Grannies, just get them off my screen.  Not because I disliked them, but because you so knew that they didn't have it in them.  I mean I wanted Wil & Tara to be eliminated, but never happened, first real time to be out and out nasty to other racers and locals (and I hate that).

Season 3:  Aaron & Ariana, though I wish it happened when he was broke down crying on the road....Heather and Eve (another way for me to hate you is the we are so much smarter then everyone else....)

Season 4:  Cindy & Russel (what an ass), Steve & Dave (yeah you guys have a shot), Tian & Jaree (bitter, bitter behavior towards each other worse then most teams), Debra & Steve thank god they were put out of their misery early.

Season 5:  Charla & Mirna at times a team that amused me, but more often then not rude and mean spirited, Marshall & Lance (Quitters, I hate them), Kami & Karli (how did these two clueless women make it so far), Alison & Donny (damn in one episode the amount of bile is beyond belief).

Season 6:  Meredith & Maria (what a waste of casting), Lori & Bolo at times amusing but often loud and bitter, Jonathan & Victoria almost don't make this list as it was so far in the season that it almost ruined TAR for me.

Season 7:  Susan & PAtrick, bitter and obsessed with R & A but without any humor which Lynn & Alex on occasion had.  Ray & Denna , what a ass.

Season 8:  Rodgers (though I felt terrible for Brock, the son who was blamed for everything, when he was the one who was correct), Godlewskis, who just over time went really bitter and already shrill.  Also really didn't like the Schroeders and the Paolos.

Season 9:  John & Scott (posters kids for hopeless), Lake & MIchelle (just mean to each other and Lake was nuts).

Season 10:  Erwin & Godwin, a team that could have been a good racing team if they had any comprehension of what a competition is.

Season 11:  Rob & Amber (he,he though I did like this team more), David & MAry (who had no business there), Kevin & Drew (It was just painful watching them shouldn't have been cast).

Season 12:  Ari & Stella what asses and I wasn't talking about the donkey, Azaria & Hendekia (Again dislike the were so much smarter, not to mention his attitude towards his sister), Nathan & Jennifer (actually was happy and sad, it was really hard seeing them in their last shots, but it was also very cool to see the team self destruct mainly due to Jennifer's attitude).

I forgot about Peter & Sarah.  I was pretty happy to see Peter gone from my screen -- forever!  Sarah, not so much.
