The Amazing Race -- All-Purpose Thread

Still seems sacrilege for the Race to be sponsored by anything but Travelocity. Somewhere, the Travelocity Roaming Gnome sheds a tear.

I miss the episodes where the gnome had to come along for the ride. The teams always seemed to have a lot of fun with their gnome buddy.

Yeah the Travelocity prize this week was a 14 day trek up Mt Kilimanjaro. Sorry, but that would have left me asking Phil if I can step off the mat and finish second!

IIRC, they have a couple of young children. Maybe they're already being brought up to be intrepid little adventurers, but that sounds like my idea of hell.

"The bullet sounds like a train." "....it is a train. It's right there in the name: bullet train."
Wow how dumb are some of these people?

If I had been Ana, I probably would have smacked Jonathan when he called the roadblock that she struggled with "just so simple".

Whatever that nail part of the throwing challenge was looked impossible.

Was excited to see Scott and Lori win one. They are running a very smart Race. Also interesting: three legs in and a different team has finished in first every time.
