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 heck.

"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.

I somehow missed last week's episode, so I crammed it in tonight! I want to go to Bali. And yes, Jonathan and Ana unnecessarily made enemies (even if it was forced by the game).

Also it's been awhile since we've had just a giant pile of teams on the mat. That was a bit crazy.

Bali is fantastic if you can go. We went in autumn 2023 and loved it.

The bullet train quote? Yes, some people are dumb as rocks. Damn.

I'd enjoy it more if they had an uncensored show with some couples who throw hands.

 

[WriteThinking]

With my team having been eliminated early on, I'm now rooting for Scott and Lori.

 

[Gym Beam]

I have a soft spot for the lumberjack father/son team, but man oh man did the kid take forever on the rice challenge.

 

[SixToe]

Jonathan is a raging immature deck and Ana is a whinybaby.

 

[MTM]

Jonathan and Ana are the team I got, but eff that guy. I was disappointed they weren't eliminated.
