Were the two teams who said "we don't need the FF", the last two teams?

1. I wondered if that was going to come back to bite one of them.
2. Dude, even if you're at the front of the pack, the FF is a chance to increase your lead--even if only temporarily--and get some rest.
3. While I like the Chos attitude in catapulting D/M to the FF, uh guys, it is a race. You're going to need to develop that killer instinct soon. (Says a person who has no killer instinct herself, so I can kinda relate.)
4. That was a really well thought out evaluation from Sarah of where here "relationship" with Peter is not going. (It pains me to say it, but Peter's take on the relationship after their elimination didn't make me want to hit him.)
5. Most important of all. NO MORE PETER!

I think the thing with the Chos is that from very begining they have said that they aren't in this for the money but for the experience. And for once, they are a team I actually believe.

People are very nervous to use the Fast Forwards now that there are only two...they fear that if they use it now when they are a head they won't be able to use it next time when they might be behind.

True. I also believe the Chos when they say their primary interest is in the experience. (To my mind, that's the healthiest attitude to have about it all. But then, as I say, I also lack a killer instinct.)

I miss the days when every leg had a fast forward option.

I do believe they were the two teams that said they didn't need it.

But that's okay, because it meant that David and Mary got first and won a prize. FF aren't as strategic as they used to be. But I think in recent races, they haven't given as big an advantage as they used to either.

This was the bestest leg ever despite drawn out "airport/travel agency" snafus that mean nothing and/or getting lost in Kuwait angst.

Why? Because my favorite team won (with the help of the brothers, who I now love. And c'mon, they were strong enough to do the task. They could do it. Go brothers! It's okay they gave the FF up to them. No, I'm not just saying that because they let the miners go first...okay, I totally am, but I don't care.)

Oh, the other reason this was the bestest leg?

And Peter is gone! And Sarah is freed! Whoo hoo!
