Hello Chippers:

The 2nd leg of the Amazing Race concluded last night. And a few things have become clear so far:

1) ZEV + JUSTIN look like the team to beat, as they won their 2nd consecutive race.
2) Even though all these teams have been in the Amazing Race before, they sure make a lot of errors (except for ZEV + JUSTIN).
3) I wonder if this leg of the race was actually suppose to be a non-elimination leg of the race, but because of the continued health issue for team MEL + MIKE, they possibly altered it so that they could be ELIMINATED without having to QUIT the race???
4) I am 95% sure that the 3rd leg of the race (next Sunday) will be a non-elimination.

Below is the standings after the 2nd leg of the Amazing Race and the chipper who has been eliminated from the 3 different chip contests. Hope you don't see the face beside your name.

Position after Leg 2 of AMAZING RACE:

1) Zev & Justin Best Friends
2) Gary & Mallory Father / Daughter
3) Ron & Christina Father / Daughter
4) Kisha & Jen Sisters / Coaches
5) Flight Time & Big Easy Harlem Globetrotters [finish in 3rd but drops to 5th by moving Ron's Fanny Pack ]
6) Jet & Cord Brothers / Cowboys
7) Kent & Vyxsin Dating Goths
8) Margie & Luke Mother / Son
9) Jaime & Cara Former NFL Cheerleaders
10) Mel & Mike Father / Son *ELIMINATED*
