I like the brothers, Zev/Justin, the Globetrotters and the poker players so far. They are the most interesting. Was Cheyne the one who kept yelling at his partner like he was Colin or Jonathan? Or was that Canaan? What is up with these names? This isn't So You Think You Can Dance.

I really hated that instant elimination. I don't know why they do that. It doesn't create suspense and it isn't particularly fun to watch. But I have to say, after their farewell comments, I wasn't sad to see Eric and Lisa go (despite the fact that they had normal names). Were they joking? I mean, they compared their numbskull lack of observational skills to the martyrdom of Jesus Christ. Maybe I didn't watch closely enough, but they seemed rather sincere in their delusion. If they were, you know Jesus was like, "DON'T EVEN!!" They are so going to Hell. And not the good Hell where gays and lobster-eaters go, where it's just bad decor and a dry heat. They seriously owe Jesus an apology.

I like Zez and Justin. He gave his jacket away and the ducks liked him!

Wow, this thread was in the boonies.

Just resurrecting the thread to share that I cannot stand Lance and Keri. Lance in particular.

I HATE LANCE AND KERI!

*Spoiler?*
I am SO glad they are gone!

Thank goodness they're gone.

I love the globetrotters and the two brothers.

I am bumping this thread.

Go Globetrotters!

As much as I like the brothers, they really annoyed the hell out of me during the hay bale challenge.

There's not too many likeable people left. Erika complains too much, Matt is lazy, and Sam is a bad brother. He flipped his brother off three times, my young brother drives me crazy but I never flip him off. Nor does he.

I never go the impression Matt was lazy, but Sam flipping Dan off was well justified and I think the show's representation of their relationship made that pretty clear. That hay challenge was BRUTAL and if my brother was screaming at me for hours about the right/wrong way to unroll bales of hay knowing full well he could not participate, then I would definitely have flipped him off. Some siblings have that sort of relationship, but it doesn't make them "bad".

I'm not really fans of the Globetrotters as much any more. They've been acting pretty douchey the last few weeks. I'd prefer to see Sam/Dan or Brian/Ericka win.

The brothers acted like brothers, and I thought it was sweet how sorry the one was about his badgering. If I was the haybaler, I'd have given him the finger too!

I agree that the globetrotters are getting shady. I wonder what happens with what looks like tripping incident with them and the brothers next week.

I still really like Globetrotters! I also really like the father/son team. Very happy they're still in it.

Next season I hope they pick nicer people like Zev & Justin and the Globetrotters. I'm also tired of seeing girls cry anc whine too much liek Mika and Erika.

I like all the teams that are left! That's really rare! Now I don't know who to root for!

Meghan and Cheyne seem to have a functional relationship, which is quite unusual for a dating couple on this show (and reality TV in general), and they seem strong. And it's cute how they go from freaking out and screaming at each other to laughing and being adorable. It just shows how long they've been together.

Brian and Ericka totally won me over in one of the early weeks (the one where they had to roll concrete animals through a park - I forget where that was) with the whole "Team Zebra" thing. And he's so supportive and forgiving, despite her nagging.

The Globetrotters have been starting to get on my nerves, and it's not quite fair that they're competing along with people who aren't famous, wealthy, professional athletes, but they're a lot of fun to watch, and they seem to be having the most fun of everyone left.

Gary and Matt are totally the underdogs and they're both sweet and I have a soft spot for any straight guy brave enough to dye his hair bright pink.

Sam and Dan are great when they're not screaming at each other. And I like their story.

Gah, I have no idea who I want to be eliminated next!

Who got eliminated last night? I passed out halfway through it.

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

non-elimination round, Stock

Posted: 11/9/09 at 6:57pm

Oh, OK! Thanks SOMMS!

[adamgreer]

Posted: 11/9/09 at 10:33pm

I agree, all the remaining teams are quite likable. I wouldn't be upset if any of them win.

Sam and Dan are still my favorite. I also find the Globetrotters infinitely entertaining.

I thought the Globetrotters were awesome last week- with the dancing. It was pretty adorable.

I was really glad that Gary & Matt were saved, though at this point, I like *almost* everyone so I'm going to be disappointed no matter what happens. The main team I don't like is the Globetrotters - I just find them annoying and none of the other teams really seem to like them either. Meghan & Cheyne are kind of boring but I don't mind them - I just don't want them to win. I'd be happy with any of the other three teams winning!

[StockardFan]

Posted: 11/9/09 at 11:26pm

I don't like the team with the Miss america girl. Is that Erica?

[Yero my Hero]

Posted: 11/10/09 at 8:27am

Ericka. Yeah, that's her.

"I just find them annoying and none of the other teams really seem to like them either."

I disagree. I think the other teams see them as their biggest rivals, but not that they necessarily dislike them. I'm rooting for:

1 - Globetrotters
2 - brothers(very close second)
3 - Cheyne & Meghan(would be deserving, name spelling annoys me)
4 - beauty queen and hubby
5 - father & son

I love that TelevisionWithoutPity calls Gary and Matt "Pinky and the Brain."

The Globetrotters really seem to enjoy each other and the race, and are typically in a good mood. Pinky and the Brain have shown the most grace under pressure, IMO (I was really impressed that Gary kept working at the hay bales in hopes that it was an NEL, and that Matt was so supportive of him). I was on board with the brothers until recently, but they've started to annoy me. I guess I'm on-again, off-again with Team Miss America and Megan and Cheyne.

I have had it with the brothers. They are whiners, a sneaky, and threw an elbow at the Globetrotters. I hope Team Zebra or the Globetrotters win.
