You know, I gotta say you'd look at Cesar and Ricky and think that they're not in the best shape, other teams are.,..and yet, they get to things like the baseball challenge, and they surprise you again and again and again. They also never seem to get upset with each other at all. It really is a case of good guys finishing first---a lot.

Mr. Baseball is struggling, which is kind of funny after hearing how GOOD he was at it, earlier in life. hahaha
I still think they'll pull through though, there are still two teams at the gooey pods.

If Vinny and Amber leave I’ll be happy with the remaining teams. |

Is anyone else really wishing they could see Rod's face when he finds out how fast Ricky got through that baseball challenge?
BTW, I'm not thinking that Rod would be a poor sport or anything. More like he'd be shocked and then start laughing at himself. But it would still be fun to see.
Or, for that matter, now that a few more teams have done it, how much more quickly everyone got that throw to first.

lol Military bros Juan and Shane were at the back of the pack and sprung forward to third place.
While Rod and Leticia have a cabbie who doesn’t know where to go.

Is it mean of me to hope the nurses get lost and Yvonne/Melissa catch up?

Yvonne and Melissa are in last place. Amber and Vinny have a cabbie that said no to them. He might not know where to go.
Rod /Leticia and Amber/Vinny may end up in another town. Not good.😌

What's the record for most first places in AR? C/R have now won six first places and have never finished worse than second.

Dang it. The nurses managed to beat Yvonne and Melissa. If only Melissa had realized how close she was to having the rocks right after Cesar left.

Aww Yvonne just lit up when Melissa said she was so happy to do this with the woman she loves. They welcomed their first baby together, so beautiful! Congrats Melissa and Yvonne!

Very impressive teams in the finals (but I could sure do without the bad attitude team)!! I don't know the record, but wow, Ricky and Cesar sure have dominated. Good for them!
Previews are ugly for Amber and Vinny, of course, but so help me -- if they end up winning this somehow, I'll be so disgusted.

If Caesar and Ricky win, they will place in wiki fandom along with these other first place winning teams.
Rachel and Dave (8) - S20
Nick and Starr (7) - S13
Meghan and Cheyne (7)
Justin and Diana (7) - S27

It still hurts to see Angie and Danny being evicted as the last team. Heartbreaking….. Totally agree, but I don't think Angie and Danny would have survived this leg as it looked incredibly physical and Angie is not up there with her cardio. Maybe they would have succeeded as they do keep calm and think and don't make many mistakes. I do miss seeing them and wish they were on this leg. |

Ugh, Amber is nagging and annoying. That pair is really something, and not in a good way. I do not want this team in the race. I wish they had been already been eliminated. Amber is just as nasty as Vinnie, she contributes just as much negative energy into the relationship as he does. I find both distasteful. |

Vinny just climbs the tree. Caesar and Ricky still in the lead!  It looked as if Vinnie broke that one branch. I hope production paid the owner of the tree damages. |

Great episode except the final two teams, if they had been flipped.
No surprise but rooting for, in order:
Ricky and Cesar
Juan and Shane
Rob and Leticia - I put a space since hes was a professional football player so probably has money already.
Maybe IF Amber and Vinny won money - maybe only 3rd place. 10k makes for a nice wedding. But like everyone hoping for 4th place. I love when I like everyone in the top 3.

I was wondering about Vinnie and Rod just climbing or bending the trees like that. There must be a reason for the regular harvesters to use that tool. Not only was I concerned about the trees, but no matter what Vinnie said about being such an expert tree climber, there might have been some reason it was considered a bad idea for people to be doing that in terms of the danger to themselves. I think the instructions should have indicated that they had to use the tool, even if Vinnie found it "useless." It would have been fairer to all contestants and it would have been easier on the owner's orchard. |

Agreed Yes, but that tool was considered "useless" to Vinny because he didn't want to take the time to learn how to use it.  Reaching and pulling them off should be fine, but, they probably didn't think Americans would actually climb the trees. Perhaps the concept that we would help ourselves and climb the tree was unexpected? I wish the workers had run up to them shouting that climbing was not allowed. That tree we saw come down looked broken.  We can only hope he didn't do more damage than that. |

How funny would it be it Rod and Vinnie were given a time penalty for climbing trees and than Vinnie given another time penalty for damaging a tree. Maybe it would have been enough for the girlfriends to catch up and get in forth. |

The idea of time penalties seems perfectly reasonable to me. They didn't follow instructions and chose to do the task in a way they preferred. That doesn't usually fly, so why was it okay this time? One team has to sit around killing time waiting for their crew to show up when they were told that if they lost their crew, they should proceed to the next stop---but then other teams can just make up their own rules about how to do a task, and that's fine, even if it damages the property of the people who were willing to let a challenge be set up on their land?

Getting all excited for the season finale this Wednesday. OK with any of three teams winning. The fourth team can do hang.
Wish Angie and Danny were in the final, they deserved it. It was so nice to see two really competent teams race (R&C andn A&D), the rest were fumble jumbles, and one just nasty.

 Oh, Vinny pulled down a branch…. No! Vinnie’s lack of respect for the cacao grower’s property pissed me off. It’s not okay to go around damaging trees that are someone’s livelihood just to get ahead. Also, I agree that Amber is pretty nasty, too. Maybe she and Vinnie are well-matched after all. |

Also, I agree that Amber is pretty nasty, too. Maybe she and Vinnie are well-matched after all. That is exactly what I was thinking. These properties where the teams collect coffee beans and cacao are working farms that provide a livelihood for the workers and the owner, and while the show I am sure provides some kind of payment, the teams should also respect the land and the product and not destroy it. I absolutely think Amber and Vinnie should have been given a time penalty or been eliminated from the game. |
