"The Amazing Race 14" finds itself with a wide open field as we enter leg number five. (8 p.m. EDT/PDT on CBS/CTV.) Seven teams enter tonight's episode, three of which constitute all-female teams. No all-female team has won the race through 13 runs but the Christie/Jodi and Kisha/Jen teams both made powerful arguments on TAR14's leg four to become viable contenders.
Mother & son Margie & Luke, father & son Mel & Mike and siblings Tammy & Victor have been better performers overall at least if my statistical index is any indication. The lack of any clear top team leaves TAR14 as a patchwork of guesswork.
However much "The Amazing Race 14" has impressed through this point, one key element may now be missing. As noted on the Twitter, all four romantic relationship teams found themselves already eliminated in the first four legs. Fans of romantic interludes will thus have to hope for a little interteam connectivity to regain that particular kind of sparkage.
