And I'm just so disappointed. It's week four and they're in Mississippi? What's wrong with Uzbekistan.

Didn't catch it tonight, but I've watched the other weeks. Why don't they just get out of the US!?!?!

They allegedly weren't leaving the US this time, kids with passports or large teams, I don't know why. But on the teaser they say "The teams make their way out of the US..." wha? Canada?
It was really weird to see all the hurricane places untouched. I never really liked the schroeder family (and about had my fill of Stassi last night), but I couldn't help but wonder if they came through the hurricane okay, sounds like they live(d) near Lake Pontchartrain.

I can't believe the Italian family did so well. They went from last place to 2nd.
Glad to see the family with the two kids survive another week. They are REALLY at a disadvantage with the physical challenges (biking at race track, sawing tree).
I can't believe the blackjack challenge wasn't easier. Some folks just gave up on too easily, IMHO. Just let the dealer bust and you win. The dealer is going to bust ~ 1/3 of the time and you don't have to take (hit) any cards.

I really wanted to hate those little kids in the beginning, I was all geared up to be really annoyed by them and cheer when they fell behind. But they are just so hilarious and gung ho and pretty smart, definitely among the least annoying, I love them. I'm glad they've made it this far. And considering their competition, the bumbling bickering sisters, 3 clone sisters and their very slow dad, the self destructing paolo family, the fragile florida family, and the seemingly strong but makes dumb decisions Linz family, I'm keeping them in the running.
I was surprised when the Linz's copped out on the blackjack. I give them more credit than they are due because they are from the Nati I think.
