Next week's Luke/Jen drama? Looks exciting! This might pinpoint the true villain of the whole race, depending on whom the editors try to make look right. Can't wait!

It looks more to me that Luke's given that shady "bitchy" villain edit. It started in the U-TURN, and in Leg 5, now in China - possibly the worst. But hey, we now have an alternative with Ron/Christina. The strongest parent/child teams and the individuals making up those teams are complete polar opposites!

Mooyou, not so in my opinion, because the strongest parent/child team I've ever seen is Toni/Dallas. If not for the loss of their pouch In Moscow, they would have finished first, second or third in Portland. They are not polar oppsites at all. I also disagree with you about Margie and Luke. I do not consider them polar opposites. Luke is inflammatory and Margie not so but on many other dimensions they are compatible.
Belle Book:
Here's my comments on the teams:
Margie & Luke: Wow, you had a really good leg this time! And you did everything right -- except maybe the Detour choice. Unfortunately, things might not go so well for you next leg.
Cara & Jamie: Please find a way to calm down, Jamie. Still, you're self-aware enough to realize that this is happening, so that's something. And you two were smart enough to grab your bags while there was still time. Nice job!
Tammy & Victor: You didn't do a great job on the Roadblock, Victor, but you made up for it because LaKisha & Jen and Mark & Michael made huge mistakes and you kept your possessions.
LaKisha & Jen: One of the big rules of the Race says you have to take care of your possessions. You didn't do so, and nearly paid for it.
Mark & Michael: And the reason why the sisters didn't pay for it was because you not only ignored that rule, but you didn't follow directions and got 2 2-hour penalties! Idiots.
Really Like: Cara, Margie, Tammy
Like: LaKisha & Jen, Jamie, Luke and Victor
Neutral: Mark & Michael

Moo:
It just came to my mind that Tammy/Victor may be the luckiest team in TAR history - luckier than Dandrew as of the 8th leg.

Really? How do you figure?
TARAsia Fan:
They may have had jumped up one place in the last two legs due to Mark & Michael's time penalties, but it's not like they were saved from elimination. The only time they were saved was when Brad & Victoria gambled and lost on a connection.
I would say Tammy & Victor have created their own luck or misfortune. They're a strong team.
