That roadblock was completely stupid. Something they would do on fear factor. Thumbs WAY down.

I thought it was pretty funny. They had to eat 4 pounds of disgusting meat. Rob couldn't eat it and took the 4 hour penalty and talked two other couples into doing the same. (The man who always says he works out/blonde woman and the older couple.)
The detour was bike or paddle. All but one team did whitewater rafting but the water looked really calm. The brothers biked and got a flat so they ended up carrying their bikes.
The gay couple was possessed with finishing ahead of Rob and Amber and they came in 1st, but they didn't win anything this week.
The other team with 2 girls got lost, really lost and ended up getting to the meat eating challenge last. They got the boot.

Well, they had to drive themselves to Argentina (the remain girlie team ended up going 2 hours in the wrong direction), then eat 4 pounds of questionable meat, complete with buzzing flies. Rob decided he was not going to do it, and convinced Ray/Deana and the old people to not do it as well and take the 4 hour penalty. Patrick was a whiny baby, the gay guy kept puking, and the red-head from the girlie team managed to choke down her 4 lbs. The gay guys came in first, the girlies lost. VERY unsatisfactory episode, because as much as I disliked those girls, I dislike the gay guys more. They behave like jacka$$es.
But yeah, dumb roadblock, in my opinion. Anyone else?

It was a dumb road block, but Boston Rob had some hella sweet strategy going on there. I still can't stand him, but it was a brilliant move and the only time his scheming has actually paid off thus far.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the detour. That was pretty cool. It sucked about that one brother's tire, though. I kind of like those guys, and I'm glad it worked out for them in the end.

Rob sounds stupid at times but he's an excellent schemer!!!
Very Clevah (said in a Boston accent)

Hmm, the gay guys are my current favorite team. I'm so glad that this was an elimination leg. I'd hate to see the girls mess up so badly and still get to continue. There needs to be some sort of a penalty for sucking on this show since there often isn't when there are so many places that are "closed until morning" and thus destroy whatever lead a team managed to have created.

They seem fairly likeable and like regular people my wife and I would enjoy being around. I like their personality and their sense of humor. Their comments make me laugh.

Huh. I find them obnoxious. I feel that I'd want to smack the sh!t out of them after about 10 minutes. They don't strike me as very genuine people, either.

I love them!!! They are people I would hang out with. I was so glad they won last night. I loved their demonstration for Phil of how they beat Rob and Amber "then you lean forward and pull lean forward and pull"
The girls who were eliminated were on my nerves. Although, it was a hard call between them and the mother/son as to who has been more annoying.
I do give it to Rob for being so strategic...
