I like team Mini.

I'm hoping they can stay under the radar for a few more weeks. I also hope that both of them are really good Mini Drivers. We didn't get very much background on them so I guess we just gotta wait and see. I think taking down the signs is cheating and should have a penalty. It is just plain """WRONG""". They knew going in that using a GPS was against the rules and I think the girls should also get a penalty.

Bull run should either enforce the rules or just throw them out. It is still a fun show to watch even untill the LAMBO self distructs like the one did a couple seasons ago.

It should get more interesting as the weeks go by.

I don't see what the problem is with taking down the signs. $200,000 is up for grabs and you do anything you can to win. I think the only real rule is you can't use GPS (which team Lexus has done already). Other than that anything goes IMO.

The problem I see is these fools won't put Lambo in the challenge, although I guess they probably know they have the immunity card. It's still been good and I was really surprised to see team Corvette get eliminated. I was kind of glad to see Team Hummer stay in. The guys are actually laid back. Not cocky like a lot of Hummer drivers are. Hopefully MINI keeps it up. It's turning out to be a good show.

Bye bye team Mini, they didn't make it. I was hoping that team Bushwick Bill in the Hummer would get cut.

And I JUST watched the show for the first time an hour ago. What luck

waymotorworks: they are a pain. I don't know how many times they've locked up on me just from moving to get a better look at my side mirrors.

I was sad to see MINI go. I'm going for Hummer now. I find it funny that the usual stereotypical people aren't driving certain models of cars (except Lambo, who are still snobby ******). Usually Hummer owners are kind of arrogant, but team Hummer is actually cool.

All the better to hold you in place during an accident though. That's the benefit I guess.

Sorry but I am going for team Lambo. I thought they were ****** at first but not anymore. I think it's funny how all of them are ganging up on team Lambo but yet they always end up on top. Plus you know damn well that Team Lexus called the cops on team Lambo. Thats who I think are real ******, them and team challenger..... GO TEAM LAMBO!!!

Well, that is what Team MINI and everyone who follows deserves, if you follow a looser - guess what you are!!!??
Maybe the lessen is to compete, this isn't Survivor, its car against car..get out there and drive!
Sure Lambo are jerks, but they understand it is a race... Lexus driver is the real jerk, I would hate to have her in a real race, she'd probably tap my bumper and make me spin out, even if she was 100+ laps down!
A RACE IS A RACE - D R I V E to win!

I always wondered if you go on a reality show like that do you get any reimbursement if you don't win? What do you do about bills? I mean If you're on bull run, survivor, or amazing race. You'd have to get months off work. Survivor hides you at a resort until they're done filming so nobody finds out you lost. Unless you have some savings to cover expenses you're in trouble.

Yeah I'm pretty sure the folks on Bullrun either have deep pockets, their family have deep pocket (trust fund babies) or are retirees (Team MINI) and don't have to worry about those pesky bills, mortage, rent, car repairs, etc.

Sorry to see Team MINI go, they should have set there belts to not reel back in.

The only team that didn't fall into that category of the rich and famous would have been team VW. Everyone else on the show you can just look at and tell they have money coming out the a$$.

It was still cool to see Mini Cooper in action . They should have driven it like they stole it & they would have been still in the Bullrun . You would need a older car that you would not worry about it getting banged up a bit to win it in a cooper or have deep pockets $$$$$$$$$.

I agree, I can't stand her...I hope she's gone soon...then again, I wouldn't mind seeing her Supra-engined Lexus get smoked by the Lamborghini in a challenge.

True.

You could also argue that buddy being in the wrong gear cost him that extra second or two that would have been the difference.

I'd love to see the Lambo in one of these challenges, but that would require the other teams to step it up. Right now Lambo is playing all of them, as annoying as they are.

Way to many mistakes

The ol guy driving the Mini never should have teamed up with the morons that led them into last place. They were doing fine when they were doing their own navigating.

As old as that ol girl is you would think she would have known not to yank the seat belt. If she would have pulled it out slow and normal they would still be in the running.

The ol guy really needs to learn how to drive that Mini. He had the best car to run this thing but just didn't know how to shift gears.

I sure wish a younger Mini owner could get into Bullrun that knows how to drive.
