...Uchenna & Joyce were frigging robbed of a prize for coming in first. She looks great bald! Lord I hope they win.

Oh man, PREACH IT. Ray and Deanna walk through an exhaust tower and get two friggin' RAV 4's! A proud black woman with lustrous hair shaves her dome clean and she gets a hug? There's no justice, I tell you.

Next thing you know, Rob and Amber will win this thing. That's when we can be sure that Lady Justice is really on holiday.

I hate to say this, because I've watched TAR since the beginning, and had to live with FLO winning, but if Romber win this thing, I may seriously be done with TAR.

I'm super pissed that Uchenna and Joyce didn't get a prize! I felt for her losing all her hair. Rob and Amber don't need 4 vacations, give them one.

I'm not sure if any leg with a FF in it (that is used), should get a prize.

I wonder if Amber would have shaved? Rob may not have let her....

[Mugsy]

I badly wanted either Ron and Kelly or Romber to go for the FF, just to see the look on their face. So BADLY did I want that. And then to have Romber be Philiminated because they refused to shave their heads.

I like Ron; I think he's a good guy who is putting up with a drama queen in every sense of the word. Her POW comments just made my jaw drop. How can he respect her after that? It's like she just dissed everything he ever stood for and represents with one flippant remark.

As much as the old couple are not great racers and G's voice grates ever so much, I want them to beat Romber. That would be comedy gold. They'll go out third, and then U&J and R&K can slog it out for the mil. Please?

I love Joyce even more than I did before. She and Uchenna are simply awesome. I also think she looks beautiful with no hair. She has such expressive eyes and I think the baldness just enhances her loveliness. Her man sure was in awe of her as he should be.

Gretchen and Merideth, what can I say. I almost always root for the seniors because I love old people but somebody shove a sock in her mouth already. Most grating voice ever.

I cannot believe what Kelly said. I hope it's just ignorance and not malice. I remember when Ron was captured and I remember praying for him and the other pows in his group every day. I guess thats why I forgive him all the Baghdad references. He has earned them.

Rob and Amber? I got nothing.

Love Joyce and Uchenna, and love the Oldsters.

Joyce has one of the nicest looking bald heads I've ever seen on a person. She looked radiant when it was done. I bet she felt "lighter" both in terms of hair..and in her spirit.

Can't wait to see how Kelly and Ron go at it next week after the POW comment. Of course, Ron seems a bit slow on the uptake, so maybe he won't realize what she said anyway.

Not that Kelly ever makes much sense.

I would have bet good money that Tuesday's ep would have been non-elim. Oh well.

[kixxy]

I really can't imagine Kelly's comments being anything but a joke, even though some jokes you just don't make... she's a joking asshat, but an asshat nonetheless. Who knows, maybe Ron himself has a running joke that goes '...but I was a POW!' or some such.

'Take out the garbage.' 'But I was a POW!'

Still not funny.

Either way, love Uchenna and Joyce, love bald Joyce. I'm jealous, actually, about how smashing she looked.

BrokenOx, I was also expecting this past episode to be nom-elimination. They seem to be screwing around with the pattern. Aren't there at least two more non-elimination rounds still to happen? They've only done the one so far. We're down to four teams already, which is usually when we start heading for the final two episodes.

I really was hoping for a non-elimination round when I saw that Alex and Lynn were in last place.

Me too! My roommate and I just loved them. There's so much irrational hate for them on the TWoP boards I can't even go there anymore. My posts get lost in the shuffle of hatred.
