Teams 'Race' Through Cookies in Malaysia

Here's this week's "live" thoughts on The Amazing Race.

Well, things are interesting already, and we're only 5 minutes in! (Pulls out her best Phil impression) Will Joyce and Uchenna make their connecting flight?? If they do, will the extra 45 minutes give them the advantage they need to forge ahead??

HATE! Charla and Mirna! The beyotches hogged both computers at the hotel and then had the audacity to ask other teams to allow them to go up to the counter to ask a question (BTW, realizing that you're being a beyotch by asking to move ahead in no way excuses your behavior)!! I really can't take another week with these girls. And if I hadn't been rooting for the blondes before, I would definitely be now because they hate Charla and Mirna too!! Yay!

We're all supposed to be worried that Joyce and Uchenna will miss their flight, but I have been watching this show long enough to know that the commercial break holds magical powers. It's able to cure whatever is ailing the team with the slow-mo "Oh no" look just before the break. Oh snap! It didn't work its magic this time. Joyce and Uchenna are sunk.

It's times like these when Charla/Mirna have a 2-hour lead over the other teams that I wish for a dreaded TAR catch-up point. In fact, I'm wheeling and dealing with the TAR gods right now. Please, please let the other teams catch up!! Make Charla/Mirna take the wrong bus or train or better yet, both!! Oh the insanity! They're doing everything right while the blondes just took the wrong dang train. I can't win!

Phew! The blondes found the caves ahead of two other teams. All is well again.

Have I ever mentioned how much I dislike the Yield??? It's really silly this time because Joyce and Uchenna are way behind (unbeknownst to the other teams of course).

Did Charla/Mirna need a further boost to their already over-inflated egos?? People of Malaysia unite against the evil that is Charla/Mirna! Well, at least the cookie-makers of Malaysia are against them. The girls went from first to vying for second with two other teams. Perhaps the TAR gods have answered my prayers.

For the millionth time, never choose the needle in the haystack challenge! In the immortal words of past contestant Rob the former POW, these challenges are like "looking for a needle in a haystack of needles."

The blondes just won (Yay!), and Phil tried to fake them out. I'm telling you, you have to watch that Phil -- he's tricky!

And now it's time for this week's CBS Cares courtesy of Mirna. Kids, stay in school and off drugs and you'll become a professional just like Mirna!

Where the hell are Joyce/Uchenna??!! Still stuck in Frankfort? Man, did they get screwed by flights. So many teams seem to have suffered that fate this season. Now, there's only 10 minutes left, and still no Joyce/Uchenna! Did they ever get out of Frankfort or are they still stuck there to this day? Finally! They made it folks, no need to call the authorities. They are safe and sound at Elimation Station. I love this team, but they've won before, so I'm OK with their bad twist of fate this week.

Were you bummed to see Joyce/Uchenna go home? Or were you OK since they won this race in the past? Leave me a comment with your thoughts. The pictures in this edition are courtesy of cbs.com.

I was okay with Joyce and Uchenna's elimination since they have won before. As soon as they didn't get on that flight in Frankfort, I knew they were sunk. Never seeing them the rest of the show pretty much confirmed it.I can't remember any other season where so many of the teams were undone by flights.
