The Amazing Race -- All-Purpose Thread

Here's the pool:

bumpy mcgee - #MomDaughter Shelley and Nici
Jay Ferrar - #SoulSurfers Adam and Bethany
WolvEagle - #TheFirefighters Michael and Scott
Huggy - #CollegeSweethearts Tim and Te Jay
MTM - #TheCyclists Kym and Alli
Amy - #MiamiRealtors Lisa and Michelle
WriteThinking - #TheWrestlers Brooke and Robbie
TigerVols - #TheDentists Misti and Jim
Wenders - #TheDatingCouple Dennis and Isabelle
Iron_chet - #TeamNashville Keith and Whitney


We have one fewer player than we do teams. The team left out was #Sweet Scientists Maya and Amy. If someone comments on here before the show airs tonight (7 p.m. CST for me) and wants in, they get Maya and Amy. If not, and Maya and Amy are not the first pair to go out, if the first person eliminated wants to switch to the scientists, we can arrange for that as well.

 

So, Miami Realtors, how far do you think you can get just by being blonde and pretty on the Race NOW?

I had to go re-watch the ending because I wasn't sure who was 9th and who was 10th.

So, per my earlier statement, Amy, if you want to trade out your team of Lisa and Michelle for Maya and Amy, I'll trade those.

Also, is there a better place to get eliminated than the US Virgin Islands? I'd be like...okay, Phil, just leave me here and pick me up in time for the finale.

 

I was destined to be paired with the candy scientists from Wisconsin. Thanks for losing, Miami realtors.

 

Crap, forgot it was on Fridays now.

 

What is up with the male dentist's forehead. I am sure it is too much Botox but it seems like a little person's head on a normal sized body.

It was pretty nice of him to help out with the compass challenge did not expect that.

 

Did the Realtors expect the firefighters to get out of the van for them when they were racing for last?

 

Wait, it's on Friday now? WTF?

Not that I'm complaining from first place but damn.

 

Those are some really creepy-looking dentists.

 

Looks like there are loads of annoying teams this season.

 

I don't totally love my Wrestlers, either, but I almost wanted to kick Shelley and Nici in their, um, "super-fannies" by the end of tonight's show.

A little too much crying for my liking over the possibility of finishing last by them, especially Nici, as well as by Isabelle on the Dating Couple team that actually ended up being eliminated.

 

Sorry for the delay in the pool. I'm visiting my parents this weekend for Dad's birthday and didn't get a chance to watch yesterday.

My god my couple was annoying.

I know which one of the detours I would have chosen. I'm fairly good at choreography and can't flip a pancake for shit. I love every time they go to England. Having "Churchill" check them in was awesome. Probably doesn't top when they had the road block with the double decker buses though.

 

I have idea why "superfans" who go on this show think they have some kind of advantage or deserve to be there more than anyone, but they always do.
