I guess Michael is going to be happy losing to Jet/Cord. His rationale for not choosing them so he could harass Joe/Hedi is weak in my opinion. Jet/Cord have already in 5 episodes demonstrated that they have most of the key qualities needed to win an Amazing Race. What had Joe/Heidi demonstrated in 5 episodes other than a bad knee, ability to drink beer (unlikely to be useful in the rest) and lots of puffery?

It was personal. The like Jet/Cord and they did not like Joe.

Yes, I think Mike and Louie would rather lose to the cowboys a stronger team then Joe and Heid who they clashed with. If you play sports then you would get this mind set.

As the great Herman Edwards once said, "You play to win the game. You don't play it to just play it."
I'm not surprised that Louie & Michael didn't make the final 3 based on that video -- it's a losing mentality.

Not on topic, but Herman Edwards was the Eagles defensive back who in November 1978 recovered the famous fumble on the last play of the Giants/Eagles game after an incredibly stupid botched handoff between Joe Pisarcik and Larry Csonka. He scored a touchdown, the Eagles won and went to the playoffs. It is still referred to as either "the Fumbler" or "Miracle at the Meadowlands". The game actually meant nothing to the giants, but it changed hte course of football history. Ever since that game, an NFL team which can run out the clock has the quarterback immediately kneel down and has 2 backs behind him in case of a fumble to tackle an defensive player lucky enough to recover it. Herman did win that game with a lot of help from Pisarcik and Csonka.
