                                                           THE SUMMARY
1.  Rob came up with a good plan when he didn't want to do a road block.
2.  NEW TWIST:  when a non-eliminated leg the players have to give up money & their luggage. (I do not like this)
3.  Again, read clue but another team look for the clue.
3.  Don't ask local for the directions toward a challenge.
4.  Kelly makes stupid comment about Ron's army history.
5.  Rob also makes stupid comments about Uchenna is following the old people BUT Rob was falling behind.
6.  Kelly using lipstick of a stranger.  She doesn't know that girl doesn't any sickness.
7.  Rob got caught lying about time buses left in 2nd episode.
8.  Teams should learn to get maps.
9.  DO NOT COME ON RACE - looking for romance.  It is not the time for romance.
10.  NEW TWIST: (I do not like it) non-elimination leg take away all money & clothes in backpack.
11.  Stop worrying what Rob & Amber doing - worrying about your own race - Lynn & Alex spent the whole race worrying about them.
12.  In Turkey Rob was bragging about being in first place while they were in 3rd place.
13.  Kelly kept starting fight with Ron - when Ron was doing nothing but think about the race.  She was so worry about their relationship.  She need to grows up.
14.  CAR ACCIDENT - Brian & Greg.  Lynn & Alex had one & a flat tire.
15.  GRETCHEN & MEREDITH are the oldest couple to make to final 4 for far.
16.  In India Kelly & Ron should had YIELD Rob & Amber but didn't cause they could not think for themselves.
17.  I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE PRIZES ARE AWARDED - WHY DIDN'T UCHENNA & JOYCE GET A PRIZE FOR COMING IN 1ST PLACE IN INDIA?   racist.
18.  In South Africa when headed to the airport Lynn & Alex made some racial comments.
                                                        UPDATED 3-3-2014
19.  By now, I see that Rob is a better player.  He has many strategists. He is a good thinker.
20.  I didn't like Rob saying that they producer held the plane for Uchenna - he forgot that the plane was held for him in South America.
                                                           UPDATED 6-1-2014
21.  All of of the other teams let Rob control the game instead of them taking control of their own game.

MY FAVORS:
1.  Uchenna & Joyce
2.  Meredith & Gretchen
3.  Brian & Greg

NOT MY FAVORS:

12.  FIRST TEAM TO QUIT:  Lance & Marshall.  - cause of his knee.
13. On the "Early Show" Marna & sounded so phony & uppity.

                                            2-27-2014 UPDATED
14.  I still don't understand how Marna & Charla acted so uppity.  They started the hate war between the teams.
15.  Christy & Nicole didn't want to the hard road block.  Too pretty to get dirty.  In future they will have to do 6 road blocks so that the male isn't doing all the work.
16.  I still do not understand how Colin could pay for the town car when you have to have charge card to reserve one & the charge card they have can ONLY be used for AIRLINE FLIGHTS.
                                              5-227-2014 UPDATED
17.  I still think Charla & Marna are upper.
18.  I sill want to know how Colin was able to reserve the car ( in the final leg)  when charge card was only to be be for airline  and previous all his money was take away?
                                             8-27-2014  UPDATED SUMMARY
18.  Donnie is very stupid.  Do not use "Big Brothers " contestants on the show.  He didn't know what a ferry was.
19.  So far Beauty Queens are very stupid, too.  They make many stupid comments, especially Nicole.  She didn't like India.
