The Amazing Race - Season 20

All three scores coming tonight. It's been a helluva week, y'all.

 

My dislike for them was surpassed by the bitching couples this week. My god, get over yourselves.

And Rachel, for a million dollars, I think you can afford to replace your hair extensions.

One thing I love about the Amazing Race is when they show how other countries make their goods. It gives home viewers and the Race participants a good look at what other, less-developed countries have to do to make money. Such as that rope task and the boxing of the ginger. Sure makes you appreciative of what these people go through.

Yup. They aren't without faults but they're definitely less repugnant than the rest of the teams.

That cat fight at the end should be settled in a ring of mashed potatoes, pork and beans or jello.

There is nobody watching that with half a brain who could have been rooting for those Arizona assholes to reach the mat before Mark and Bopper.

I have absolutely no desire to travel to India.

 

Well, my team finally got eliminated. But, hey, it was a fun run. That would have been so cool to see them eliminate Art and JJ. Oh well.

Too bad each team left has one or two jerks. I have to agree with Inky about the least-objectionable team.

 

I've only been on board for about five, six seasons, so this is for the people who have followed the show for the duration of the run.
Has anyone accomplished the Fast Forward and still finished last in a leg?

 

First up, even though I've been out since about September...thanks, IJAG, for running this contest.

Secondly, I thought Rachel's explanation of why she didn't shave her head was the most honest thing I've ever heard on TAR...when she explained that she knows she's not that attractive and she relies on her hair to help in that department. I'm sure what she was really thinking is, "I shave my head, I lose my man..."

 

Nope. There has been at least one instance of a team finishing the FF and not finishing first on the leg, though.
