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:

Tyler & James

Tyler & James
Best Friends

Tyler: Model, 29
Los Angeles, CA

James: Model, 27
Los Angeles, CA

The Hook: Well, now we're talking! Here's the yin to the beauty pagent/cheerleader yang. Two young guys, professional models, lots of energy and fun. Now that's a hook!

Teamwork: aaaaa
These two seem to be a good balance for one another. They've been through a lot, so the stresses of the race aren't going to be seen as life or death situations for them. One is calm and methodical, the other is quick tempered and driven... but there are times for both in this race. I think they will be a very strong pair.

Strength: aaaaa
Here is the young, fit, dual-guy team that everyone else will be competing against in the physcial challenges. They are definitely the team to beat in this category.

Experience: aaaa
These two seem to have the most international travel experience, and not just to big cities. They've traveled together, and it appears have had past trips trying to find "obscure dots on the map". That will come in handy here! There is no mention of foreign languge skills though... that's the only thing that keeps them from getting a full sweep of points.

Okay... at least on this end of the starting line, this looks like the team to beat. But the great thing about this show is that just one small mistake can knock a team out. One wrong turn on the Autobahn, and you're looking Phil in the face as he tells you that you're the last team to arrive. So, they have the most potential, but it's still anyone's race!

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