Then there was last night. Jennifer and her sister had managed – against all odds – to pull themselves out of last place. They had completed all the tasks they needed to do and arrived at the leg's Pit Stop, all that remained for them was to step on the mat to be checked-in. That didn't happen, instead, Jennifer decided that she had to go to the bathroom so badly that it took precedence over finishing the leg of the race. She knew the other team was right behind them but she didn't care. She went to the bathroom and then went on to elimination as the other team passed her while she was in the porta-potty. "The one who lost because she had to pee."
I have no reason to think that Jennifer is anything but a nice, wonderful, caring, decent, fully-clothed human being with an ample sized bladder. However, that's not how she'll be remembered. If there's ever another Amazing Race: All-Stars and she's on it, we all know what the other contestants will remember about her, after all, she's "the one who made a pit stop on the way to the Pit Stop and cost herself and her sister a million dollars."
If you ever go on a reality show, please consider your legacy, otherwise I'm just going to end up having to feel bad for you too.

I don't know why Jen did that last road block. If Keisha had done it, the duo would probably still be in the race. Despite all the silly things that happened to the team, they were my favorites after Mike & Mel. I hope the deaf kid doesn't win. For trying to prove deaf people can be just as competitive in the race as the hearing, his mom sure does a lot of work.

I was pulling for them, as, besides Tammy & Victor, I don't particularly like the other teams. I thought they'd gotten shafted a few times by the others (Margie & Luke especially, but also Tammy & Victor in this leg - and they still nearly made a complete come back despite that U-Turn.) But they deserved being kicked off for that bathroom break - no matter how much you have to go, you hold it, do it in your pants, whatever. We're talking about a chance at a *million* dollars. To lose that by moments for that reason is simply stupid. So now I'm rooting for Tammy & Victor.

Hated her. Glad she's gone. Rooting for Margie and Luke.
Nice article!
