Competitive Debbie & Bianca Eliminated from TAR


Debbie & Bianca Eliminated - Lost their way

The only all-girl team got eliminated this week on TAR.

Damn, it must have been so disappointing for Debbie & Bianca. They were running a good race for the previous legs. They got lost on the way, while driving themselves to the route marker. They were heading in the wrong direction for a good 2 hours.

Though Debbie did overcome her fear of rafting at the Detour & unbelievably chowed down 4 pounds of meat at the Road Block, it wasn't enough to bring them from last place & they got eliminated eventually.

Ok ok, I'm so impressed with Rob. I know he's scheming, manipulative & played dirty on Survivor. But i never thought he could use those skills on TAR. It was like watching Survivor all over again.

Not only did he take the 4-hour penalty when he chose to quit the Road Block, he managed to wriggle his way outta last place finish (given the penalty) by persuading Ray/Deana to take the penalty as well. That would ensure Amber & himself to finish above Ray/Deana. What surprised me most was the level of compliance Ray/Deana showed towards Rob's suggestion. Didn't they even think for a moment that they could be finishing dead last if all the other teams manage to finish the Road Block before their 4-hour penalty expires? Woah, the magic of Boston Rob!

I can't wait to see what other tricks Rob has to offer, this is by far the most Amazing Race i have seen & though sometimes i feel the methods were despicable; but hell, Rob makes the race so much more interesting.
