Comments on: An Elephant Stepped on My Butt http://toomuchfreetime.net/reality-game-shows/the-amazing-race/the-amazing-race-14/an-elephant-stepped-on-my-butt/ What to watch. What to think about it.

It's her responsibility to protect her working relationship with Jaime and to keep the team moving toward a million dollars. She's not there to protect the locals from her bitch of a partner. It's a competition, not a goodwill tour. I hate that people all over the Web are lumping them both in together when Cara doesn't deserve it at all.

It's too bad they didn't have more of an opportunity to make up time at the tasks. The zoo tasks were OK, I guess, but I prefer it when the tasks aren't something like that (or bungee-jumping, etc.) - where they all take the same amount of time to complete so there's no change in the contestant order. I'm not sure I agree with the 30 minute penalty for sticking the air pumps in a crate. Weren't they still visible? We've seen other teams do similar "tricks" in years past without getting penalized, haven't we? (I can't think of any off the top of my head, but I'm guessing there had to have been *something*.) Ah well, the bozos deserved an hour penalty anyway for not reading the flippin' clue. The show was taunting me, because even though Mel and Mike fell behind, they were right in it.

The brothers have been so awful at directions, etc. that the 30-minute penalty was probably worth it for the directions they go to the park. Totally unrelated, but I thought the Dennis Rodman experience on Celebrity Apprentice last night was a disgrace and not amusing at all. Trump and Burnett should be ashamed.

I mean, he could have just been like "Medic!" and watched from the sidelines but nope, he carried her and poured water over her head and helped her drink. And you're right, Luke looked really scared. I felt so bad for him. I was really impressed with how much Phil stepped in to help Margie.
