I'll go along with that. I was laughing at Flight time and Big Easy when they were learning the dance "As soon as we learned it, it was Soul Train" LOVED IT!! so hilarious! We havent had a non elimination week and I am wondering if because the girls quit their task, had it been a non elim week, would they have been eligible? I can see not being able to hit the freaking bell because you don't have enough strength but for crying out loud...you can't hit a freaking ball into a hole? bye bye bitches...lol

The Amazing Race
Amazing Race’s Poker Players Call Final Task ‘Unfair’

November 3, 2009

After surviving wasabi bombs, a nasty fall in a dirty river and a car accident, the lucky streak ended for professional poker players Maria Ho, 26, and Tiffany Michelle, 25, in Holland. Over the phone, the only all-female team in the competition defended their decision to quit during the detour in Holland. –Carrie Bell
It must hurt to be yet another all-female team knocked out due to a lack of strength.
Maria: We didn’t come into this thinking we would be the physically strongest team, but we also didn’t think we would be faced with something that we just couldn’t do because we lacked brute strength. We were forced to throw our hands up in defeat. It was a very hard situation … We would have been able to get the dance and we would have eaten the herring, but that carnival bell dinger added an element that was physically unfair … It was heartbreaking.
And the golf game really wasn’t any easier?
Maria: It was not regular golf. And you have to add in the other elements like weather and the fact that we were freezing from swimming. There were literally 30-mile-an-hour winds blowing in the opposite direction of where we had to hit the ball. I don’t want to make excuses but we gave everything we had and we still couldn’t complete either one.
You both make a successful living in a stressful high-stakes, male-dominated field. It must have taken a lot to make you feel quitting was the only option.
Tiffany: TV doesn’t do justice to real-life situations. It was so much worse than it looked. That mallet was over 40 pounds. Just lifting it over your head was a task. We were exhausted from going back and forth. We were uncomfortable in wet long johns. I’m a push-through, do-anything girl, but I hit a wall and needed to hug it out.
You went into the Race fairly confident. Was it harder than you imagined it’d be?
Maria: It’s a hundred times harder physically and mentally than you expected and we realized that within the first hour of landing in Japan. For any competition, you have to put on an air of confidence and capability. After that first wasabi bomb, I was like, “What did we get ourselves into?”
Tiffany: Luck plays a huge part. Take the Dubai snowman thing. Erica showed up last and wasn’t really digging that hard but she found one first. We can’t knock it because we got lucky several times. Luck is also what makes it fun to watch. Without it, you’d know the winner on day one.
You were knocked by viewers for lying about your occupations. Why’d you use that strategy? And do you regret it?
Tiffany: After seeing [Survivor contestants] Rob and Amber deal with so much animosity for being TV personalities who had won a million dollars already, we thought the best strategy would be to highlight something else in our lives as our careers. I’m very involved with the Los Angeles Youth Network, which helps homeless youth, so it wasn’t a lie. You need allies and we thought it’d endear people to us.
How have you coped with being one of the season’s most hated duos?
Tiffany: We were a little more prepared for that than Lance because we have a public image. We have dealt with trash talkers before. We already learned not to pay attention or let those negative words in our brains. Anyone who knows us knows we’re good people.
How did the Race change you?
Maria: Rarely in life do you get the opportunity to push yourself to the limit and see what you’re capable of when you put your mind to it. It strengthened [our] relationship. We wanted to spend more time together after. We didn’t want a break. We made bonds that will last a lifetime. The million-dollar prize pales in comparison to what we take away from participating.
Certainly most people cannot claim they crashed a car in the parking lot of the Dubai desert.
Maria: That was my favorite part. Another racer made me a keychain that says, “Warning: Asian female driver,” and it’ll be my keychain from here on out.

For everyone who received my "THANK GOD!!!" text message. That was in reference to <333 Sam finally finding that damn flag! Also, I HATE FAILTIME and BIGDOUCHEY! PLEASE.GO.NOW!

Another happy person that Maria and Tiffany are gone. Maria didn't even put any effort into ringing that bell. Peace Out!

Loving Flight Time and Big Easy, they are good competitiors, great teammates, shit talkers when need to be and a lil' sense of humor also---Wanting them to win.

Happy Dad & Pinky didn't get eliminated, a non-elimination was due.

Love Brian and Ericka also.

Also love Meghan & Cheyne they remind me of Kris & Jon from Season 6 (who were my favorite).

Don't dislike Sam & Dan, but they are my least favorite.

DO the DAMN THANG Flight Time & Big Easy!!!!!!!!

I'm with you Smooches!!!!!!!! BIG EASY AND FLIGHT TIME FOR THE WIN!!!! They are the most fun, the best competitors, they don't fight, bitch and whine and most of all, they make the show fun to watch and to watch them!!
I like most of the teams left and I was glad that the dad and son got a non elim week. I would like to see, them, the globetrotters and Brian and Ericka in the finals. Meghan and Cheyne are boring and up until last night I would have liked to see Sam and Dan but their bitch assness at the hay comp was sickening. If I had to hear their bickering, screaming, yelling and whining for one more second I was going to hurl. Sheesh, STFU, work as a team and stop SCREAMING!!

Colton? What reason in the world would you have for not liking the globetrotters? Because Sam and Dan don't? Like it or not, they have by FAR been the best racers this season and the MOST FUN!!!

Sam & Dan will beat them watch and see! ;) This has been my year for reality tv. :D I HATE their attitudes, and they just bother me.. They think they're hot shit, and they're not.
