The Amazing Race -- All-Purpose Thread

I don't think being able to hit the notes was the biggest part of the challenge, it was just pronouncing the German words to the beat.

Besides, if they've got crazy "we're going to have to unravel a billion hay bales until we find one with a clue", they can have one obscure German singing challenge.

 

I wish I liked Nicole so I could root for myself.

 

At least you don't have Marie.

I like my team. Good for Amy for saying shit to Tim and Marie on the mat.

 

I have Marie and this is the first year I hope I lose.

And I agree with Amy on Nicole, She and Travis are very full of themselves.

 

I'm glad to see that the producers are a relentless quest to get rid of all the likeable teams and only keep the douchiest.

In fairness, I'm not sure Tim is that big of a douche but Marie is just so relentless but I guess that's the drama the producers want.

 

I think he might actually be a nice guy. I wouldn't know since any time he says more than three words, Marie shuts him up.

The baseball wives are growing on me. They at least seem nice to people.

There needs to be a Phil Keoghan save on this show, so that we could have had Chester/Ephraim on longer than two episodes. I miss those guys.

 

Sorry I didn't post last night...I didn't get off of work until almost 2 and then I was just shot.

MTM - Tim/Marie 54
Amy - Travis/Nicole 51
Wenders - Leo/Jamal 47
IJAG - Jason/Amy 39
*Inky - Brandon/Adam 34
*Huggy - Chester/Ephraim 29
TigerVols - Nicky/Kim 28
*bumpy - Tim/Danny 22
WolvEagle - Ally/Ashley 21
*JayFerrar - Rowan/Shane 10

*team has been eliminated

 

Yikes! If this were a contest for most unlikeable I'd think the top three in the standings are about right.

 

I'm not a huge fan of Ally/Ashley either. They seem like the girls who have always flicked their blonde hair towards any guy in the vicinity to get them to do anything that might break a nail. There's a reason why they immediately attached themselves to Leo and Jamal at the start of the Race.

 

Apparently, I cannot math properly, because I seriously screwed up Travis/Nicole's score. (Did you know they actually LOST points last round? OOPS.) So I've fixed that and double-checked my other calculations to make sure there were no other big errors.

NEW SCORING:
Amy - Travis/Nicole 84
MTM - Tim/Marie 58
Wenders - Leo/Jamal 50
IJAG - Jason/Amy 44
*Inky - Brandon/Adam 34
*TigerVols - Kim/Nicky 29
*Huggy - Chester/Ephraim 29
WolvEagle - Ally/Ashley 23
*bumpy - Tim/Danny 22
Jay - Rowan/Shane 10

(how sad is it that Ally/Ashley have two teams that have been out several legs still beating them in the points standings? They can't skirt by forever, right?!)

I felt bad for the Bunnies. They might have survived if they only had to do the Speed Bump OR the U-Turn, but not both. Also, I was really hoping Tim and Marie would get lost in the desert, wander off and die of dehydration, all while Marie told Tim it was all his fault.

Is there a stipulation for when you must use your Express Pass by? It seems like Travis and Nicole never attempted the detour before just handing it over (I wasn't paying too close attention and the next thing I know, they're off to the next thing and I was like, damn are they like, Alton Brown at that cooking challenge or something?! Then I figured that they had to have used their EP.)

 

How did they not u-turn Tim and Marie?

 

Next season's returnees may make for the most annoying season ever
