"We have trust issues." Mylar

But wow, is Pinky obnoxious. Love her hair, hate her attitude. I appreciate competitiveness, but she's just awful.

She is the worst. Cannot go home soon enough.

I wasn't sad to see the losing team go home. They were not going to last long anyway. I was really happy to see the NFL guys win the leg. They are adorable and have such a great attitude. The Afghan kids keep snatching victory from the jaws of defeat in the "Kat Likes You-Olympics". They were fairly innocuous all episode and then they completely blew it at the end with the bickering and in-fighting. Still enjoying the ER doctors and the Duck Dynasty kids. The Boston Couple has been surprisingly efficient and pretty low key and the country kids were much easier to take this week since they didn't bring up how much they need the money even once.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

One of the stupider ways to fail a challenge EVER.

Not surprised Pinky's shoe shinee didn't sit there longer and refuse to pass her on that part of the task. Not yelling at customers should be TAR 101, too.

As should =not= stiffing taxi drivers.

OMG, Bingo's entire interactions with that poor shoe shine guy was completely watch from the hall for me. UGH.

I am not such big fans of the Afganimals, I think they are pretty obnoxious. I am enjoying hearing several teams speaking fluent Spanish through these last 2 legs, though!

They are WAY too douchey for my taste. The whole "TAR wife" thing is squicktastic.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I'm not quite sure how to put this into words, so please excuse any clunkiness.

I think the Afganimals are douchey too. But douchey in an all too "normal" way. Not because they are Afgahani. (Not inferring that anyone here said that). I was concerned at the start when they were pushing the Afgahani side so much, but they are just guys. Who can be jerks. Where they came from is immaterial.

I'm just using "Afganimals" because that's how they refer to themselves. They are total American brodudes who are I think are obnoxious.

Honestly, the self-nickname "Afghanimals" is part of the whole douchebag package, and it's not the prefix "Afghani-" that's the problem. Calling themselves the "Americanimals" would be equally douchey.

So completely this.

What Suzi said. It's not that they're awesome (though they had their moments I good and bad) but they aren't what I was worried they would be/be edited as.
