The Amazing Race -- All-Purpose Thread

Not quite. Phil eliminated Lena and Kristy at the haystack task, and I believe he tracked down Toni and Dallas in Moscow as well.

I was pulling for one of the bushmen to pop up and tell that evil blonde with the doctorate, "I speak English, bitch."

Oh, I was thinking of times where a team specifically requested Phil to come out so they could quit, rather than Phil coming out to mercy-eliminate someone who was clearly in last place.

I'm surprised that Max and Katie were able to get caught up, with forgetting where their car was to getting lost to getting a speeding ticket and having to go pay that. Begs to wonder how lost Joey and Meghan were that they ended up behind them.

Loved seeing the girls kick ass and take names this week.

Am I the only one who thought the final animal in the detour, the bird on the hippo, was specifically to trip teams up?

I saw on Facebook where CBS apologized for the Vietnam portion of Amazing Race.

Seems John McCain raised holy hell over it.

Just watched Sunday's episode. The hockey brothers are quickly becoming one of my favorite teams, thanks to their goofiness.

I now want to go back to Switzerland and possibly dognap a St. Bernard while I'm there.

I loved seeing the cheese task in the snow. That was awesome. Here's what it looked like before:

I'm shocked that Phil didn't make Chuck and Winona go back and redo the cheese task or incur a 4-hour penalty, which is the norm if you don't finish the task. A 30-minute penalty seems really light.

 

Re: The Amazing Race -- 2012-2013 All-Purpose Thread

I'm just sure the hockey brothers will now be eliminated and the douchebag newlyweds will win.

If Chuck hadn't flipped the sleds upside-down and tried to stack the cheese wheels on underneath, they wouldn't have had huge problems in sliding down the hill like the rest of the teams. He'll blame Winona, though.

 

Re: The Amazing Race -- 2012-2013 All-Purpose Thread

Phil probably felt sorry for them and knew the YouTubers were close by. No sense putting Chuck and Wynonna (sp?) through that agony again.

And, I started out liking them, but man, Chuck turned into a real jerk. I wouldn't be surprised if she up and leaves him if things don't get better when they get home.

 

Re: The Amazing Race -- 2012-2013 All-Purpose Thread

Chuck turned into a jerk, but Winona was so negative and whiny.

Instead of embracing the opportunity, she complained the whole way and walked into every challenge with an "I can't" attitude.

And I've written his before on similar threads, but if you're about to go on TAR, or a similar show, why don't you spend some time in the gym, just working on improving your stamina if nothing else?
