My youngest daughter and I both wish we could do this show.HOWEVER, I am terrified of heights and she has a weak stomach so we agree we probably wouldn't win. That said, her kids LOVE those big water slides and they would have been down it in a minute and be running back to the top begging to do it again.

I'm kind of glad to see this week's elimination. So who does everyone think will go next?

I felt a little mean, but I started laughing when he started blowing up the floaties. My personal favorites were the "help me, help me" and "why do you hate me?" like she was 5.

He should have pushed her harder down the slide. She cost him a million bucks.
I'm not too fond of heights but I would have went down the slide for free! It was so hot there, it would have been great!

I was just thinking on it a bit. Mika packed those floaties and dragged them from country to country. Granted, they weigh nothing and probably don't take up a lot of room in a backpack in grand scheme of things, but it shows she had some expectation of having to deal with scary, scary water. Maybe she thought they were all she needed to get over the water/height phobia. I'm trying to give her some credit. It's hard, but I'm trying!

I cann't give her credit at all. Just close your eyes and do it. Cannan had really been acting like an a$$ all season, just wasn't as noticable with Lance around. The Trotters egging her on like that wasn't right. If Mika and Cannan went, as the Trotters got there, they would've been passed by them running on the beach. I think the mixed couple will be next, I like them, but until now they have been floating around the bottom finishers.

I don't think the Globetrotters did anything terribly wrong. It was just a little trash talking like many people do when playing a game. And really trash talking can go either way. Sometimes it'll give a push just to prove the other guy wrong. I wouldn't be surprised that they would've been ok if she did go down because they would've banked on catching them on the run to the pit stop.

I think how Mika's fiance Caanan behaved was far worse than anything the Globetrotters said. He literally was going to throw her down a very high slide. She could've been seriously hurt if she went down the wrong way. And frankly they both were acting childish.

Canaan has been acting like a jerk all season with his irrational angry outbursts. But in his defense this time, he did offer to go down the slide with her and 45 minutes is a loooooong time to listen to an adult have a tantrum. Especially when elimination is on the line. And especially when the adult is wearing water wings. Water wings!!!! LOL I haven't seen water wings on anyone over 4 before. In comparision to a bungee jump or a zip line, the slide was baby stuff.

I don't see how anyone can fault the Globe Trotters. They weren't mean to her. It was just a little smack talk and smack talk has it's place in competitive sports or games. I've heard worse between friends over a board game.

I'm a fan of the Globe Trotters and they had the best line of the night when one said that if they were there any longer Lance and Keri might show up. Hilarious!
