I wonder if instead of Non-elim legs we're going to get episodes where they've done most of a "leg" and they see Phil but instead of getting a prize - they discover that the 'leg' continues - and we see the rest next episode.

So, what order to the teams come in?

That may be, but Phil definitely said at the beginning of the race that there are X pit stops, Y are elimination points, and Z are non-elimination. I just don't recall the values of X, Y, and Z. I remember because I keep hoping for a race without any non-elimination legs. Of course, I keep hoping for an actual "race" with actual "clues" too.

According to Miss Alli at TWOP: [link]

at the beginning of the race, Phil explicitly said eleven pit stops, of which eight would be elimination points. That would imply that there are pit stops that are not elimination points, however they intend to handle or label them. I suspect it's semantics, but Phil said eleven pit stops, and Phil said eight elimination points. We've now had six elimination points and six pit stops. Either the opening narration was flat-out false, or there are some pit stops coming up that are not elimination points.

Thank you Nora, I knew I didn't imagine it!

ETA: That's not to say I don't imagine Phil saying things from time to time. They just usually don't involve pit stops.

Okay, if we have to lose Jack - it's nice to get Chris back.

Steve really blew it. It was definitely time for him to go.

I forgive Chris for being costumey because he had so little sleep or time.

Oh, poor Jack! Oh, well, he got a super-fantastic boyfriend out of the whole experience and that's really the best prize!

I loved, loved Christian's outfit and I'm really glad he won. I even thought his little ass comment to his model was cute. Totally agreed that Steve was the one to go. Even if the dress hadn't been glued all to hell, it still looked like ass. I actually didn't care for Kevin's outfit, but then I am morally opposed to leggings. And I would've put Rami's outfit in the top 3 instead of the red dress of almost-cheating. I liked this challenge.

And Tim was too adorable in this epi. I would pay good money to just sit around and watch him call stuff fierce over and over and over. And then he could make naughty jokes. Hee! Love Tim!

Tim was adorable!

And I thought that Rami's outfit should have been in the top 3 too. Plus, his model totally got into the whole thing.

This was a much better "Every Day Woman" challenge than the one in season 3.
