His claim that he was unaware that the 1st skater "was too young to provide consent for sexual acts" is total bullshit because if there's one thing everyone in this sport is aware of it's everyone's exact age. That's what determines when you can compete at various levels and at certain events.

It is called "strategy," NOT collusion. And it is good to see human beings caring about each other instead of backstabbing all the time on a reality show.
I just hope those of us that don't get to fill out fancy network surveys get our voices heard when we say we LOVE this comradery and strategy on The Amazing Race. It is a major part of what puts that AMAZING part into the Race and makes it so special.
This is not a reality show where it's who gets a rose or who can bake the best brownies. It's a RACE and unlike most other competitive reality shows, the order of finish matters - first wins, last gets eliminated. I have no problem with teams having camaraderie with one another but when one team is actually doing the challenge for another team, it ruins the race for me.

I think the point in the books was that the brothers all looked very much alike
Successful casting then - those actors look very much alike.

Just my opinion here, but there weren't really any good strong teams. Sure you had Danny and Angie but they were mostly concerned in making alliances than winning. Leticia and Rod, Vinny and Amber all benefited from Angie and Danny's help. The firefighters didn't know north from south. The pilots also didn't navigate well. The rest were weak. I'd like to see this season's winners go up against really strong teams. Now let's see what happens!
You don't think Ricky and Cesar were a strong team? They aced almost every challenge and even the one that took the longest (windsurfing) didn't damage them too much.

This season improved dramatically these last few episodes. Once Amber and Vinny got eliminated I didn't care which team won because I liked all of them. They were all functional teams who were consistently nice to each other. That goes a long way with me.

There's speaking it and knowing it. Getting an A in high-school for Spanish/French is different then growing up with the language spoken in the household. Jaun knows it but he probably grew up in a house hold where the parents telling them to speak English, while it may have been the opposite for Ceasar.
Speaking the language of the country you're in doesn't help at all if you suck at challenges or working together as a team.

I'm sorry but I'm in the camp that believes Ricky and Ceasar has had an advantage since 90% of the season was in Spanish speaking countries.
Several teams have or had one Spanish speaking member - Yvonne, Juan, Vinny (sort of.) Hell, even the first team eliminated had one Spanish-speaking member. Maybe Cesar is more fluent than some of the others but that's not the reason they're doing so well.

I don't understand the animosity towards Ricky and Cesar - the fact that one of them speaks Spanish is no different from several other teams (plus Vinny who THINKS he speaks Spanish.) The reason they've come in first on so many legs is because they completed the challenges better and faster. They don't look very athletic but they're doing quite well nonetheless. I have also come to really like Rod and Leticia just because they have such a good attitude and are so decent to each other.

There just seems to be no there there this season…
I had a similar thought while watching the latest episode.

I guess it's a colloquialism based on where's he's from, but it bothered me no end every time Harry said, "I voted for yourself, (insert name here.)"

I just started watching - so who's this Paul Henry guy? It appears he's somewhat of a controversial character.

I would put last season in the top 5 of Amazing Race - probably #2 (because nothing can beat the pure pleasure of season 1.) I would put this season way at the bottom, just above season 8, the dreaded Family Edition. I'll watch to the end because I want to see who wins but it's one season I know I'll never watch again.

We will agree to disagree since I call it cooperation and collaboration for an alliance. Like the NFL player in that alliance said. You play for the team and everybody has their strengths and duties to do.
Except that, on Amazing Race, a team is two people, not six. An alliance is a benefit on competition shows where you can get voted off, but the beauty of Amazing Race is that it was NOT a popularity contest, it was pure race and the team who did it best came in first, and the team who did it worst got eliminated.

I call it cheating! For a team to basically do the puzzle for another team is pure cheating!
It's not cheating if the rules allow it but it's really dumb. When you're in a race for a million dollars do you really want to assure that other teams are right next to you on the mat? Sometimes it makes sense for two teams to cooperate on one task but to do this on every task on every leg of the race makes the race somewhat less than amazing.

I have always hated when teams work together and gang up on other teams but damn, this season is out of control! I would love to see anyone but Danny and his Gang of Six win.

Over the years, I have always told everyone that if they wanted to see real dancing they should be watching SYTYCD rather than Dancing with the Stars. I can't do that anymore because I'm not sure I even know what I'm watching - it's a totally different show.

Who are the cops?
The older married couple are both retired cops.

I'm glad the cops didn't get eliminated - I really like their attitude. I'm not sorry the cousins are gone.

I don't want to hear Danny talk about having the lollipop ripped away from him - if he'd stop helping people maybe they'd do better.

Is there a rule that they can't examine the board closely?

Damn! I hope all this helping comes back to bite them in the ass.

Watching this season just reminds me how much I liked the teams last season.

I thought this was wonderful - no fake Russian accents, just Ewan McGregor and his endless charm.

There's something about Christina's (did you know she's Greek?) voice that really bugs me. If I find out she has a disability I'm going to feel really bad.
