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:

Kellie & Jamie

Kellie & Jamie
Best Friends

Kellie: Broadcast Journalism Student, 22
Columbia, SC

Jamie: Recent College Grad, 22
Columbia, SC

The Hook: Wha...? Two teams with the same hook? Another team of cute, spunky, attractive girls? Cheerleaders no less??? I feel shorted. Then there needs to be at least two teams of guys that are waterpolo players, or baseball players, or lifeguards, or firemen... you get the drift.

Teamwork: aaaa
Being best friends that have competed together before, they should be pretty strong. However, I noticed in their interview that Jamie (the brunette) tends to talk over Kellie (the blonde). Now, if this is how it has always been and Kellie's okay with it, there may not be a problem. But, if the introduction of a TV camera in the mix has suddenly brought out this limelight hogging nature of Jamie... we may be in for some fireworks! But since they are one of two teams made up of young attractive girls, I have a feeling that they will instantly peg the Dustin/Kandice team as their immediate competition (for attention!). And having a common nemesis early on, may encourage each one of these teams to pull together as strong individual units.

Strength: aaa
Again, they are probably fit, but are not going to be as strong against some of the guys, or some of the teams that have at least one guy. It's a fact of nature we can argue until we're blue in the face... guys are simply able to lift more, push more, and carry more. Although in a footrace, these girls may be some tough competition!

Experience: aaa
Neither of them have any experience travelling internationally, and between them they have skills in only one foreign language: Spanish. But they get the same bonus as the beauty queens... cute and sweet will get you lots of help in a foreign land, whether you know the language or not!

A team of two girls have yet to win The Amazing Race, and I think it's a combination of not being as physically strong, and tending to be too trusting and dependant on other teams. But prove me wrong, girls! I hope you do well.

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