Let's Split - Teams take a bumpy ride in Split, Croatia and try not to get tongue-twisted reciting poetry while in motion. Enjoy the show!

They have to serve drinks to the people with the gnome. Can't wait to be there.

Remember poetry while being pulled on a tube or finding coins underwater.

Tyler and his buddy are 1st and Nicole and Victor are 2nd. They are greeted by a lady with a bunch of Dalmatian dogs which are our national breed. They originated on the Dalmatian coast.

Split...My home town!!! I will be there at the end of August on the last leg of my month long Croatian vacation. Wow, really?!! It looks like such a beautiful place! That must have been neat to see an episode set in your far away hometown, recognizing buildings, streets and sights. Very cool, and I had no idea about the Dalmatian dogs. I'm glad you get to go this summer -- enjoy! Poor Chris and Bret, they were doing so well! But they just shouldn't have switched tasks, and then switched back, and switched again. No coming back after all that. I like them as a team, so will miss them. I'm sure learning that poem while whipping around on the water was tricky, but most managed it just fine. I loved the shot of Nicole face planting it on that inflatable though!  The memory challenge with those shields was difficult! I didn't blame the team members for working together on that, because it was definitely tough. But I wish Nic and Vic could have beat Korey and Tyler for a first place finish! Nothing against Korey/Tyler, but I didn't even see what made Nic/Vic lose their lead. These final teams are really strong contenders, and mostly likeable people too. I like seeing finals like this, where it's really a close competition. Any of these teams could win with just the right luck and skill in the next few legs. And we're getting a double U-turn it looks like, so that will probably play a part too. |

This Croatian leg was most likely my fave thus far, it was beautiful! The only task that MIGHT edge it out would be the elephants early on. I know most of you love team fun, but they are just not my cup of tea, at least Becca I kinda like Floyd (may be the Band Mom in me), and this leg did little to endear them (well her) to me. Have to give Colin credit for taking the lost gnome in stride, lol, they have shown growth but happy with the 1 and 2 finishes!

I'm enjoying this episode, too! I would have picked the snorkeling challenge. Reading while being dragged by a boat looks nauseating! I like all these teams so will be sad each time one of them goes.
Midol your hometown is a beautiful place! That must have been fun to see it on Amazing Race! |

Props to Floyd and Bret for completing the soldier task on their own, that was difficult Another good episode - Croatia is gorgeous, some flight drama , sorry Nicole nobody barged in.. Tyler and Korey , another win for them!.  Chris and Bret got stuck in their heads . and it looks like they spent hours looking for coins.. Colin looked like he started with the right method (using the container to scoop) shame Chris and Bret didn't try that..those two did well. And to finish it off, Dalmatian puppies!! |

And to finish it off, Dalmatian puppies!! Colin had the right idea, I think Bret and Chris, especially Bret don't think things through. I don't get why they didn't do a some kind of gird search pattern from the beginning. Bret way over packed his backpack and his cardio was horrible. I do like that they had fun together and I would not mind seeing them race again. However, Bret needs to bring it as he is the weaker partner. |

I was ready to smack Nicole for accusing Team Fun of cutting the line at the airport.

They mentioned a grid pattern, then didn't follow through( not that we saw).. Oh well, they got rid of the sisters before they left  |

I'm liking her less with each leg. She complains about everything and seems ready to give up way too easily. P.S. Midol, your hometown is gorgeous! How fun to see places you know on The Race. (I kinda know how you feel, because they spent time in my home state during the family one, and it was really fun to see places I knew.) |

I was ready to smack Nicole for accusing Team Fun of cutting the line at the airport. Nicole is really getting on my nerves. She whines constantly once something doesn't go her way. Team Fun did not jump in front of them, they were in a totally different line. She is so passive aggressive. |

Team Fun did not jump in front of them, they were in a totally different line. She is so passive aggressive. Plus, team fun was in line before Victor and Nicole and then stepped back a minute to talk. As far as I could tell from what we saw, there was nothing bad going on. |

I finally saw a boot list....
So far, it has been correct.

Midol - so great to see your hometown! Looks beautiful! How fun to watch. Liked Chris and Bret but they weren't going to make it to the end anyway, so nice to see them go out with such a great attitude.
I am ok with everyone left winning to varying degrees. My favorites are still Team Fun and then Tyler/Corey. I admit Nicole was in the wrong with the line thing, but I still like them as a team and she has not gotten on my nerves yet at all. Love how much Colin and Christie have changed from their first time. Not a fan of the Aghanimals but if they win, it will certainly be deserved and while I don't like them, they seem to be annoying me a lot less lately.
I haven't seen the boot list and knowing it is correct, I am not going to look. I love not knowing.
