True. But really, they make so many mistakes way more than they get bad breaks, so I won't be surprised if they are the next team to go.

Well then, I suppose that's the "thrill" of it... not knowing until it happens can be fun!

True, but if they get farther than they deserve to, I won't feel very "thrilled" at all. And again, this is from someone who LIKES them.

Heh... pretty complicated then, eh? Let's hope that whatever happens feels justifiable, then.

Absolutely. One thing I liked about last season is that except for Edgar & Sabin and Fujin & Raijin, everyone got about as far as they deserved. The entire F4 was very deserving of getting that far, and most of the early boots deserved to be gone when they were. It was a pretty decent elimination order.
This season, on the other hand, has seen two potentially-strong teams (Cecil & Rosa and Freya & Fratley) go out early, while many of the weaker teams still thrive. I pray to Yevon that at least one of the weaker teams falls next.

Almost got second, but lose it because they can't look for a simple crack in the wall?
I love them, but they need to go. And soon.

Even with all the mistakes they make -- especially going for the Fast Forward they had no business going for! -- you JUST CAN'T KILL THESE RONSO! They're like cockroaches! Big, stupid cockroaches with fur and horns!
I do love these guys, for the most part, but their entertainment value is pretty much gone. And with their victim and her mother now gone, there's no point to them being here anymore. GO HOME, YOU TWO!

The only thing I can say about the recent leg is that they continue to be like cockroaches. Can NOTHING get rid of them?

"Only a horn has the power to remove a horn. Such is the way of the Ronso. Puny hornless race cannot remove bulging ronso horn!"

I'm surprised they avoided the bottom two this time. I think their local guide's help is definitely what helped them. Because factoring in their navigational error and Biran's struggle with the Roadblock, they would've been toast without the guide's help.

I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything when Balthier called the F5 "strong." I might've choked while trying to laugh at the very notion of these two being considered "strong." Assuming Balthier was, indeed, including them. Sure, they're strong physically, but race-wise, they' haven't been strong. They've just been lucky.
Lucky that Barret missed that last basket at the Gold Saucer.
Lucky to get Reno & Rude's handout.
Lucky that Ma & Zell, Dona & Barthello, and Freya & Fratley were all way too far behind in Mana.
Lucky that Twilight Town only had physical tasks for them to do, since those are the only tasks they don't screw up on.
Lucky that Garnet couldn't get out of her comfort zone at a crucial time and instead made a very bad call at the Underworld Roadblock (argue it all you want, Bob -- it was Garnet's fault, not Brahne's).
Lucky to have had that local guide in Elicoor II.
They've done nothing but bumble their way through the race and only luck out that someone either had bad luck or just screwed up worse than they did. Them being in the F5 is purely from luck, no real skill on their parts. As Agent said on a different thread, these two are a joke. Their continued existence in the race just makes no sense. And has absolutely no point. After the "strong" remark, I want them gone before the F4 even more than I did before. And that's in spite of how glad I was that Zone & Watts went home on the last leg over the Ronso.

Okay. After seeing Yenke on the chocobos and both of them in the Jachol Cave, I'm convinced.
THEY MUST GO NOW!
I like them, and they're funny, but they're also a total joke. And jokes can only go on so long, you know, Bob? And in this case, it's gone on TOO long.

I agree, butts are just awesome. Ooh! Are you guys talking about butts? They're my favorite subject! I think it's safe to say that butts are EVERYONE'S favorite subject. I would have trouble disagreeing with that statement. One time, I saw a butt at the store... One time, I saw TWO butts at the store! It's true! There were two of them! Right next to each other! I won't believe you until I see a picture... Well what do you know? Two butts at the store... I guess I was wrong to doubt you. Yup.

That was a NICE recap of this thread.

Well, if SOMEONE wouldn't keep giving them pass after pass after pass, I'd have shut up LONG ago.
