Well, I would've rather lost Lorena but honestly, I'm not that sad to see the sisters go. They have been really bad racers, finishing at the bottom of the pack on every single leg. It was only a matter of time, really.
I do think that Lorena's going to give Jen a run for her money in the first annual "Worst at this ever" pageant. Really, if you are that afraid of, well, everything, maybe that's the time that you decide that the Race is not for you.
I wonder what the blondes do next leg. I gotta say they've been surprisingly non-annoying these past two legs.
I thought their attitudes and behavior on the train were pretty appalling.
I'm guessing that there is that they do that thing where they can delay a team. (My memory sucks.)
It was interesting watching that task, realizing that none of the women in this cast have ever, um, lactated. 'Cause, yeah, the camels with babies? Those will be the ones with milk. Kind of how that whole thing works.

Yes, their whole "Ew, Africa smells" thing put them right at the top of the Oh My God Get Off My Screen Now list. And in the cab too - you were dumb enough to give him all your money, don't think whining is going to make it better!]
No shit. I can't stand those witches.
I thought their attitudes and behavior on the train were pretty appalling.
Yes, this was appalling behaviour. Unfortunately, that happens on every race every time they get to Africa. I just wait for the "breeding and breeding" comments to come. There were actually a couple of teams toeing that line tonight, which was sad. Of the teams we saw having a reaction, I thought only Nate and Jen and Hendekea and Azaria really comported themselves well.
Though I did cut the girls a little slack on the thing with the cabbie. They clearly had said 3,000 and that cabbie did them some dirt. They started to insist and then just gave it up. And they didn't yell at the cabbie or try to bad mouth him behind his back as they walked away which is way more than I've seen other teams do.
Jesse, our local CBS affiliate only showed the early game because the Chiefs played in it -and lost, of course! So the prime time schedule was on time.
the blondes lost any good feeling I might have had for them on the train.
Ronald's hernia actually made him less of a pain!
They clearly had said 3,000 and that cabbie did them some dirt.
True, but they were still incredibly naive to think they were getting any change back. I consider the 1,000 he bilked them to be a well-deserved Stupidity Tax.
Agree that the blondes were really crossing into some uncomfortable bad behavior last night.
Also, my very very favorite part of the camel milking task:
Lorena: (whiiiine)
Jason: You can do it honey!
Camel: (looks at camera and shakes head "no")
