The Amazing Race

[Susie924]

Anybody watching this season?

[Susie924]

New season underway....I can't believe Rachel and Brendon are still together.

[Susie924]

Brendon and Rachel from Big Brother will be on The Amazing Race

[SRV-90]

Before I forget..did anyone feel that Ethan and Jenna weren't really giving it their all? They weren't that entertaining to watch anyways..

oh well

[fung_derf]

I guess I missed that part. Again, I don't understand why a second camera crew would be at the gas station to catch the missing passport and how the girls wouldn't have wondered what they were filming.

[Susie924]

I do believe she was paged at the airport but it still seems rigged.

[fung_derf]

That was my thought. What made her start looking for her passport? How is it the camera caught it laying on the ground as they were driving away? Doesn't the camera guy stay in the car with them? Who would think to bring the passport to the airport? Unless it was a part of the camera crew? AND who would know where to find the girls at LAX? It's not like they were in the Poughkeepsie airport. And it's not like it was marked with where they were headed. Totally rigged in my opinion.

[SRV-90]

The order in which they showed the video clips was off as well...weren't the girls behind the guy who asked where the airport was at that gas station? Was that guy who found the passport hanging out at the gas station for a while? Hmmmm? lol

Was very odd but I think she knew they were flying out of the country and wanted to get everything in order.

[Susie924]

I'm a little bit suspicious about the whole passport incident.

What made her look for her passport when she was in the car?

It made no sense to me and then how these guys miraculously appeared at the airport with it.

A bit odd if you ask me.

[SRV-90]

Ethan and Jenna thought they could play sneaky and not tell the others but that didn't work out too well. lol

Vegas girls aren't proving themselves like they thought.

Should be an entertaining cast

[SRV-90]

.....as well as her twin

[fung_derf]

LaToya Jackson wins.

[SRV-90]

Yeah..just wrong! lol

Don't tell me what happens as my wife and I are going to watch the 2nd half tomorrow

[Susie924]

That really wasn't fair. Most women have had waxing done before and most women don't have as much hair as the men.

I really felt bad for the guys!

[SRV-90]

Did they really just make them get Brazilians?! WOW! Those poor guys!

Kelly Clarkson...LOL

[SRV-90]

They were quite entertaining at some points...otherwise it's amazing race but not so amazing to watch personally.

I end up looking at my iPhone more than I do the TV.

Sorry about the Habs...as they say, next year

[hasher]

I cant get into this year.. when they said those two cowboy morons were in it I never got started.

[fung_derf]

I always thought it a bit embarrassing to see people begging for a reality show to win a million dollars. Reverse the situation, how many Americans would give some Asians a handful of cash and lead them somewhere if they were on TV?
Can you imagine an American in India begging for cash? It would be sickening, in my opinion.

[SRV-90]

I know they are not allowed to beg for cash anymore.

That's right...you don't see that anymore...those scenes always cracked me up.

As far as tipping...I hope they have enough to tip..if not, oh well!

To be honest I didn't watch the whole thing as I'm kind of bored with the show. I'll watch but it's more I'm watching from behind my iPhone!

[fung_derf]

he was nagging so much on the cab driver, I was truly hoping the guy was going to pull over and boot them.
I wonder how much money they allow for tipping. The Globetrotters had a cabbie that was hauling for them. Do they have enough extra cash to give a decent tip or do they have to worry about running out in the end?
I know they are not allowed to beg for cash anymore.

[SRV-90]

Great new quote from the goth guy

"At the airport can you buy airline tickets?"

The look the taxi guy gave him was priceless. I think he looked at him like he had three heads.

[Susie924]

LOLOL!

[fung_derf]

Nope, and my son is complaining about having wisdom teeth removed. But now they've talked him out of the job he was best suited for. They wanted him to do Nuclear, and pay him a bonus, but he didn't want it. Probably a good thing as he would probably be in Japan by now.

[ergo sum]

Hard to walk I bet.

[Susie924]

One of my son's friends is a SEAL. It t'aint easy!

[fung_derf]

He decided it was far easier to drive me crazy. Supposed to be shipping off to the Navy (is that what you do in the Navy? Ship off? Ship out?) in August. They've totally jacked him around. He still wants to be a SEAL.

[Susie924]

Sounds like she's moving far away? I can relate.

What did son derf finally decide?

[fung_derf]

Is he autistic? Must have missed that.

Won't be seeing derf and daughter_derf anytime soon. She just got a job and will be moving right after graduation. She'll be too far away. Son_derf going off soon as well. Now, if I can just get spousal_unit to leave me, I can get some sleep!

[Susie924]

ADD? or Autism.

I know which guy is autistic but I don't thin I know the ADD one.

Overly bubbly.......exactly!

I'm still waiting to see derf and daughter derf on the Amazing Race!

[fung_derf]

Beauty queen is just overly bubbly, but that what beauty queen do.
Never seen anyone so excited to go to India. I knew a guy who once quit his job because they wanted to send him back to India.
I like the Globetrotters, but they are doomed. I'm sure two big black guys in India trying to flag down a taxi was a feat in itself.
Oh, I like the two black women as well.
How come the guy with A.D.D. doesn't do better at tasks? I thought they were supposed to be more focused. Figured he would have blown through a couple of things he has struggled with.
My favorite part of the show is when Phil tells them what place they finished, and one of the members wants to hug while the other wants to leap into the air. I keep hoping to see some team knock each other out. .....maybe I shouldn't watch this show any more.

[Susie924]

I can't say I disagree with anything you said. The kid could be a PITA but it was still a touching moment.

I have been hoping that the Chinese Dad and daughter go since week one. He drives me nuts, as does the beauty queen.

I think the beauty queen's Dad and the Chinese girl should become a team!

[fung_derf]

I absolutely HATED that deaf kid and felt most sorry for his poor mother who has to deal with him on a daily basis.
The deaf kid was as cutthroat as can be, when ahead, yet begged for help when he needed it. He blamed Mom for many of the times they fell behind and she was an amazing trooper!
I was so glad to see him lose and was really pissed when he took up a tray of cups to the front. I only hope they let him do that because he was already out of it.
Geez! Aren't people who lose a sense supposed to have heightened other ones?
I'm rooting big time for the cowboys, but I think they are doomed by their own lack of common sense.
Also, the Chinese father drives me nuts! Is there anything he doesn't whine about? I'd rather see his daughter hook up next year with the deaf kids mom.
Oh, I hate the pinkies too! Morons!

[SRV-90]

Cowboys indeed or Gary and Malorie?(father and daughter).

It's a good crowd, especially the goth couple. They crack me up

[Susie924]

I was more than a bit choked up. I was sobbing!!!

I really expected that last night was going to be a non-elimination round.

I think I'm pulling for either the cowboys or the globetrotters to win.

[SRV-90]

I have to admit...I was a bit choked up when the Indian tea guys all congratulated the deaf kid on finally finishing the task and not quitting...

Now...how many trips to the restrooms did they cut out? I mean..some drank enough to fill two tea pots alone..lol

The two black girls got lucky that they were close enough to the store after that mistake..

Amazing Race is fun but boring at most times...they need a new twist to it somehow...

Well, hope others are watching as well..hint hint

[SRV-90]

I really like the your still racing aspect. Making them work for it this year.

Drama queen goth. How typical.

[Susie924]

I was so turned off by that when Joan Rivers won that I haven't been watching it.

Trump goes with his favorites and it doesn't matter how well they do IMO

[no3putts1]

Celebrity Apprentice looks good from the previews I've seen.

(this Sunday)

[Susie924]

I was away for a week and DVR'd all my reality shows.

I haven't watched this one yet but hope to watch it tonight.

[SRV-90]

lol, Roo'd awakening. Silly Australian's.

[hasher]

so busy i didnt realize it started already.. am DLing episode one as I type.. bad moderator!!

[SRV-90]

Quite a start for the cowboys indeed...not looking good. Interesting twist to the beginning by keeping them playing...

[Susie924]

The only ones who felt some compassion for the heart attack victim were the Globetrotters.

It doesn't look too good for the cowboys this time around!

[SRV-90]

Finally in HD!!!! Weeeeee

[hasher]

Bad Big brother

[fung_derf]

Hated the Goths and deaf kid
Liked the cowboy brothers, Gary Hogeboom and his daughter, and Globetrotters
Thought the Asian kid and his youtube father were coming back?
