--- Quote from: Joab on April 24, 2011, 11:25:41 PM ---I really liked the Detour, but thought that the help that all the racers gave one another was really a huge turn-off. The Roadblock was supposed to be a good one, but there should be a rule written that you cannot help one another. Even if it means Gary and Mallory getting eliminated, at least that's fair.
This just proves that you can't just SOLO on the race and you'll need some help at one point or another.
The cowboys played a fair game. The rests are cheaters. Have been watching the amazing race when they first air and never missed an episode. This episode is just a turn-off. Will stop watching the amazing race from now on.

I hate to see the Cowboys go.
But great tribute music in the closing.... :js:
The cowboys wouldn't be elimintaed if not for the social factor (other teams helping almost all the others except the cowboys) but it's part of the game. It's becoming a lot like Survivor these days.
I wish K & V will be eliminated next. I actually like them during the first few episodes but Kent is becoming a pain to watch lately.
Hoping gallory wins the race.
Neobie:
Allow me to make a personal request to move excessive outpouring of emotion to some other place.
Especially before an episode airs when spoiling should take precedence.
A little note on editing: We've figured out that Jennifer tells Justin about the loss of her map on their way to Balzers Castle, after the handing-over of answers, so the two scenes were shown to the viewer out of order. It seems to be adding on to the (in my opinion, inane) "cheaters" hatefest going on. But for TPTB, does it achieve a more coherent storyline?
Good job on this leg, guys! And a very strong first impression you're making, Raina!
Also, do you spot Uncle Cameraman in this classic shot? :waves:
Lucybell:
Helping each other at different points in the Race is so common. Teams have helped each other nearly every single season at one point or another, so why is everyone so shocked and appauled and calling foul??
Had Jet not got cocky and sped off leaving Gary behind in the RB, he would have got help too and not had to repeat the task. The Trotters would probably be gone right now, not the Cowboys. That was Jet's fault, not anyone else's. JMO
The U-Turns are put there for teams to U-Turn other teams. It's the nature of the game. Would the Trotters have made the PS without U-Turning the Boys? Probably. But Jet and Cord were so close behind them that they couldn't take the risk... Things can change on the way to the PS and they wanted to make sure they had plenty of time. Can't blame the Trotters for covering their own butts.
Now it's time for the Cowboy fans to pick themselves by the boot straps and pick another team to get behind and root for! Go Gallory! Go Zev & Justin!
