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:

Standings Before Episode 7

David & Mary in first place
Peter & Sarah eliminated

David & Mary:

(Team Number 1)
Well lookie, lookie! From the back of the pack, to leading the pack. Nicely done! Now, these two may not be my favorite personalities in the race, but I think they are certainly one of the most deserving of the prize... so it's nice that they get a view from the top for once. They couldn't have got there without the help of Ed/God, but at least they know it, and are happy to give them credit for their good fortune. I don't know if these guys will be able to maintain their position, but they've certainly been given a nice head start. Let's see what they can do with it.

Dustin & Kandice:

(Team Number 2)
Well, these two got lost, didn't initially complete the Road Block task correctly, and STILL came in second place. These girls are hungry for it, and are surprising more than a few of the other teams. They're in it for themselves, that's for sure... not working with any other teams, and not even being that friendly with anyone else. But it's getting results. So why fix what ain't broken?

Rob & Kimberly:

(Team Number 3)
What's this? Are these two actually starting to work well together, and treat each other nicely? Who knew? I was convinced that this couple was on the fast track to self-destruction, but they've actually started to hit a bit of a stride with one another, and it's certainly showing by their stronger finishes. Let's just hope they don't have to return to a pearl farm in Vietnam anytime soon.

Lyn & Karlyn:

(Team Number 4)
These ladies continue to surprise me. They are still in the hunt, and not even bringing up the rear which I thought that they would. They've lucked into having two other good teams look out for them, and I'm not sure they would have got as far without their help. But even individually, this team is strong and stubborn, and they haven't even considered giving up. If there is a big physical challenge coming up, it may really impact them... but they've managed to weather everything that's been thrown at them so far, so they may just plug along right to the end.

Erwin & Godwin:

(Team Number 5)
Okay, who doesn't want these brothers to win the big prize after tonight's episode? They genuinely think of others before themselves, putting themselves at a huge risk by giving David & Mary a chance at the fast forward, and even helping point Kar/Lyn towards the right shop in that maze of merchants. These guys are just truly good people, and aren't putting it on for the show. Their parents must be so proud!

Tyler & James:

(Team Number 6)
These guys have to be in a panic after finishing next to last two times in a row. They seem to be one of the strongest teams, but that just goes to show you there are all kinds of factors that can make you successful, or knock you right out, in this race. Hopefully they can bounce back from these two bad legs, and get things turned around next time. I'd hate to see these guys go home.
