The Amazing Race- Surprise..Surprise..Charla and Mirna take the top spot..
I was shocked that Charla and Mirna came in first place. I didn't think that they had it in them to ever come in first. I do think they owe a big part of their win to the stupid choices made by the other teams (the ones that chose to pack the coal). I am really starting to like Oswald and Danny. I thought it was nice of them to ask at the travel agent if they could get tickets for Ian too. I was laughing when they came into the pit stop all covered in coal and were chasing Phil to get a hug. I like when they show the teams let loose a bit. I thought it was sweet when the beauty queens painted the nails of the little girl for free.
I can't imagine why Danielle and Eric get pulled off their flight next week. Hopefully, their missing the flight will save Uchenna and Joyce from going home. They are still my favorite team. What do you think of the rule where the last place team has to come in first the next leg of the race or they incur the 30 minute penalty? I like this a lot better than the last place team losing all their belongings and money. I hated seeing teams beg for money in countries where the people were poor.
What did you think of last night's episode?

I didn't get to see this episode. :( I'm glad Charla and Mirna came out first. I saw how they really tried so hard in that previous leg to beat Rob and Amber as last team to the pit stop. I'm rooting for Uchenna and Joyce, too, and was I happy when Rob and Amber got eliminated! I also like watching Danielle and Eric...I want to see if they're really going to develop as a couple. :)

I think Eric's a pig. I didn't like him the last time he joined and he's not improving his attitude now..

I was happy to see them win. I think they were still gliding on the thrill of booting out Rob and Amber. I do think that choosing the nail painting was a great choice. I don't think Charla and Mirna will win but it is nice to see them get at least one first place prize.
I really like uchenna and Joyce too. I would love to see them win again. I do like the change about having to to come in first. I thought it was way too hard to have to beg for money.
I was really rooting for dave and Mary but they already got booted. Iw as kind of bummed. I really liked them. they were entertaining to watch, and I think they were genuinely decent people.

Dave and Mary were my sentimental favorites. I too was bummed when they got the boot (I kept hoping it would have been a non-elimination leg). I love seeing decent honest teams do well in the race. I knew they probably didn't have much chance of winning but I enjoyed watching them while I had the chance. Did you see them on the View last year (after they got eliminated from the race the first time..). Rosie O'Donnell said she was a big fan of theirs.. she ended up giving them/building them a house (they had been living in a trailer), vacations for the next five years (or at least I think it was 5)and a gift certificate for Dave to buy work gear/safety gear for himself. It was nice to see good people like this have some nice things happen for them.

I'm really glad teams are no longer begging for money, as we watched several teams spend a lot more time than 30 minutes trying to get enough money. It sure was a surprise to see Charla and Mirna get first place, but its one of the few times they haven't spent large amounts of time yelling at each other. Partners really need to work together, as the team that works the best together has a big advantage. I would have been painting nails quickly, as it even sounded easier from the clue.

I was also surprised to see them come out first. I was also happy for them because the deserved it, and did you notice that they did not fuss last night. I really enjoyed last night episode.
Yeah, that was funny when they where chasing Phil, and that was so nice of the beauty queens to paint the little girl nails for free.
Uchenna and Joyce are also my favorite team, I hope they make it to the pit stop first next week. The new rule isso much better.
