The Amazing Race -- All-Purpose Thread

The Globies, cowboys and the cycling father/son duo? Awesome.

Brenchel!?! I may not watch.

 

I'm not that enthusiastic about the number of people who have been on multiple seasons, like Miss Kentucky Beauty Queen. I like the Cowboys and the Globetrotters, but they've had two shots at it.

I am glad to see Dave and Conner get another shot at it. Instead of Leo/Jamal from this season, can we exchange for Chester/Ephraim? (Also, is that an indication that Leo and Jamal don't win this season, since none of those teams previously won the Race?)

Also, the country girl singers are worthless...about like Ally/Ashley from this season.

-- Maybe they just figured Leo and Jamal needed new race wives.

No fucking WAY would I ever pass up the chance to feed an elephant, even if the birds thing looked like it was a lot faster. Also, was the instrument thing just really complicated, or Nicole just didn't get it, or....? I can see where something like that might be difficult to assemble without a model.

 

I liked Travis and Nicole until he started yammering about god using them as a beacon on how to live and how they play the game a different way than everyone else.

He then goes and shits on his wife during the post leg interview. What a tool.

 

This. Though I never really "liked" them. But he's a massive tool.

 

Yeah, that post interview where he was going on about being embarrassed didn't paint him in the best light.

 

Despite being an ER doctor, Nicole gets flustered very easily.

That was the second time she had a meltdown and couldn't get something done. The first time was the build a fishing net challenge.

And we were screaming at the TV when Amy was helping her and Jason was wanting to get the hell out of there. It is a race after all.

 

Knew it was going to be non-elimination leg. Looks like a double episode next week for the finale. I was glad to see Jason and Amy finally win a leg.

*team has been eliminated

Also, on the snake-eating challenge, I would have had to sit far far away from the damn cage. Probably would have done a lot of screaming in that wine field too. I don't do snakes, if it's not overly apparent.

 

Not as glad as I was!

And Marie holding that basket over the bubbling water made me laugh so hard.

 

It was nice to see the most likable of the final four teams won.

I dozed off at about 10 p.m. (Eastern) and almost missed the end - woke up in time, though. Darn those long NFL games!

 

I was very pleased to lose.

Nicole's comments at the finish line made me feel a little bit sorry for her. It sounded as though trying to live up to Travis's high standards is stressful for her. I still don't like her, though.
