Who has been Philiminated?

Dustin & Kandice:


Erwin & Godwin:
Oh my Godwin! Can these two ever make a decision? Now, I really like these two as people... super sweet and always thinking of others before themselves. But there was no way they were ever going to win this race. They wouldn't take the risks, and could not aggresively pursue anything. But they ran a good race, and got more out of it than any of the other teams. So even without the big check, they're walking away feeling like they were still awarded a big prize.

David & Mary:
So the Kentuckies are out of it. You know, you only get so many second chances... and these guys got two. They just didn't have enough to get out of the basement though, so it's time for them to head home. They'll have stories to share forever though. I'd be really interested in how small their world will seem to them when they head back to their hometown. You just can't look at things the same after an adventure like this, and I bet these guys won't go back and plug right back into the life they left before this all started.

Peter & Sarah:
Hurray!! Stupid Peter is going home... and his arrogant attitude can carry the blame for their early departure. Sarah deserved better, but at least she realized what an ass this guy is, and will have no problem moving on without him when they get home. To the very end, Peter shuffled all the difficult and challenging things off to Sarah, and then did nothing but talk down to her everytime things didn't go their way. Although I'll have a lot less to talk about now that he won't be in any future episodes, I'm relieved that we don't have to fear what a million dollar check would do to Peter's already oversized ego.

Tom & Terry:
I was actually really hoping this would be a non-elimination leg after seeing Tom get in the ocean and drag their boat behind him just to finish. Come on, Phil! That deserves another try… right? Oh well… our energetic Tom & Jerry are out of it, and sadly things will be considerably duller now. Too bad they couldn’t have stayed around to continue to infuse some fun and energy into the remaining field of bickering, irritating, and oh-so-serious teams.

Duke & Lauren:
I'm so sorry to see these two go home... they were my personal sentimental favorites. But my gosh, you can only come back from so many mistakes... and tonight they were full of them. Being lost, broke, and taken advantage of by opportunistic locals was all just too much... and the combination finally sent them home. On the personal side of things though, I think they mended some fences. So they may not be going home with bigger bank accounts... but hopefully with a much better understanding of each other.

Kellie & Jamie:
Ladies, all the enthusiasm in the world couldn't help you two this time. We'll miss your synchronized clapping and cheering. Well, actually... not that much. But thanks for playing! And NEXT time, when you see a fellow team driving away in the opposite direction, pull over and find a map for goodness sakes!

Vipul & Arti:
Well, never underestimate the impact of a bad motorbike driver. These guys lost a lot of time when their driver took the long way on the way to the challenge (or more accurately, got hopelessly lost), and they just never could make it back up. Too bad! She was so much fun, it would have been entertaining to have them around for a while.

Balil & Sa'eed:
The victims of the first "surprise" of the season. They were mere seconds behind Erwin and Godwin, but it was enough to send them home. We barely got to know them, but sadly for them the race is over.

Phil:

Erwin & Godwin

Erwin & Godwin
Brothers


Erwin: Insurance Company Manager, 32
San Francisco, CA

Godwin: Financial Analyst, 29
San Francisco, CA

The Hook: Two highly competitive brothers that will have to manage impatience with each other in order to work together effectively as a team.

Teamwork: aaaa
I think, as it is with most brothers, they will bond together very tightly if given a common enemy. However, when alone with each other, they'll probably spark against one other quite a bit. Godwin, the younger brother, admits he'd like to step out of the shadow of his older brother a bit. We'll have to see if he can do that without jeopardizing the strength of their team.

Strength: aaaaa
Both seem to be strong physically. I think in most physical challenges they will be one of the teams to beat.

Experience: aaa
Again, limited travel experience. Erwin knows some Spanish, while Godwin know 14 languages! The unfortunate thing is that 13 of the 14 languages he knows are no longer used in the modern world..???? Okay, I'm fascinated by this! What could these languages be, and why the heck would he want to learn them, let alone 13 of them? I'm all curious about this quirky fact. Regardless, Godwin's overall experience with language may help them, so I tossed them an additional point.

If these two can keep their cool with each other, I think we may see them as one of the final three. But brothers... they are so unpredictable!

If you'd like to learn more, take a look at their official pre-show interview.
