There is no thread for this season yet?
I, for one, love that the cowboys and the globetrotters are back.

Is this a show about white people? 3/20/2011 9:37:29 PM |

Not to me mean here, and it has nothing to do with being deaf, but I can't stand Margie and Luke. Also, get those Chinese people off of there... 3/21/2011 10:05:58 AM |

FLIGHT TIME AND BIG EASY! 3/21/2011 10:34:22 AM |

I felt bad for Flight Time and Big Easy yesterday, and was glad to see them overcome it and do well. I thought that was perfect usage of the express pass by Gary and Mallory...its kind of funny that they didn't win it though. 3/21/2011 10:48:19 AM |

i don't mind the chinese daughter, but that dad is a piece of shit. really can't believe he was giving the goths shit for lying about that penalty.
spoiler? i guess?
really glad those bitches went home. they're such cunts unnecessarily 3/21/2011 7:57:49 PM |

Also glad that Flight Time and Big Easy recovered from the double U-turn.
And team China is super annoying. 3/21/2011 8:12:16 PM |

i'd be happy with either the cowboys or gary and mallory winning. the rest annoy me on one level or another 3/21/2011 8:49:49 PM |

Although I'm not a fan of Kent and Vyxsin, I'm glad they recovered from their ridiculous driving error in Tokyo 3/21/2011 10:12:46 PM |

I imagine they tell them to try and calm their emotions and not cuss much on this show, or they just don't film those parts... b/c I imagine i'd be rather frustrated after making some of the mistakes some of the contestants make on the show...for example, driving 2 hours out of the way, or losing my bag 3/22/2011 5:51:39 AM |

i'm sure there's a LOT of editing done to weed out the cussing. every so often something will get bleeped out because it happened during a scene that's important. all the other ones are sitting on the editing room floor 3/22/2011 10:45:13 AM |

i mean sure the dude's deaf but, really DRANK DAT TEA BOY 3/28/2011 1:08:51 AM |

I second that - I can understand where being deaf can be a problem for certain things, but it doesn't mess with the taste buds.
As a matter of fact, isn't lacking one sense supposed to enhance the others... 3/28/2011 5:13:31 PM |

A few more mins and the globetrotter guy looked like he was about to be crying too
Were they not allowed to puke? I would have 3/28/2011 5:18:04 PM |
StingrayRush All American 14628 Posts user info edit post |
i'm sure they are. there was a challenge last season i think where they had to try and pick out fake food within thousands of pieces of real food, and whenever they missed they had to eat it. i know a few people puked on that one without penalty 3/28/2011 5:20:13 PM |

Did they ever say that they had to drink the entire cup of tea? I never saw anyone just take a sip which I did not understand.
Regardless, they were all probably shaking after all that caffeine. Mallory clearly was losing her mind from the caffeine. 3/28/2011 6:55:18 PM |

haha mallory is hilarious she is always so full of energy
i think they had to drink it all or atleast act like they were. the globetrotter was letting it spill down his shirt every time 3/28/2011 7:37:53 PM |

That dude always wanted to eat some damn food...not really a douche but more of just an old Asian man 4/11/2011 10:55:32 PM |

he was a complete cockbag to his daughter, but was probably the worst roadblock/detour-doer i've ever seen 4/11/2011 11:10:35 PM |
greyb1 Veteran 202 Posts user info edit post |
^no way, the other old creepy guy was way worse at roadblocks. Why would they bring him back for a second season?
In other news, why do the cowboys keep having so much trouble getting to the start of the next leg? Every time they fly they screw it up.
Like last week when they were the only team to take the 30-minute later arrival flight in order to avoid a layover.
When you can consider either taking a flight by yourselves or all the other teams, you should go with everyone else (at least the cowboys should). If they go with the other teams, they start on a level playing field and their awesomeness will help propel them to the top. If they go it themselves, it is 50/50 as to whether they get a lead or get way behind. Why take the risk? 4/22/2011 7:26:29 PM |

I don't know...I wish we saw more behind the scenes stuff.... you know there HAS to be a BUNCH of just sitting around doing nothing...
and they also make it look like all the teams finish pretty much around the same time..i'm sure there are huge gaps between the finishes...
I always wondered if Phil and the native just sit out there waiting until they see someone or if the cameramen call in and tell them someone is getting ready to finish so they can get ready. 4/22/2011 7:46:00 PM |

I always watch the next when the teams start and it says what time they start. Some weeks they are VERY close together (5 or so teams within a 10 minute span) and some weeks there are 1 hr + gaps between some teams. 4/22/2011 10:05:19 PM |

^^ i'm quite sure they have some kind of hospitality tent or something nearby, and just head to the mat after getting a call from a producer 4/22/2011 10:49:10 PM |

Oh my gravy that really pissed me off.
They definitely had bullseyes on their backs. 4/24/2011 9:28:11 PM |

Why even watch the rest of the season?

exactly what i said. fuck this show
i guess i'm pulling for gary and mallory, although they'll probably lose next week. kent is such a fucking whiny queen, i hope he dies next week 4/25/2011 9:16:03 PM |
greyb1 Veteran 202 Posts user info edit post |
Is it just me or did Jet have a scowl on his face for the entirety of the finish line scene?
Also, The Amazing Race can die a slow and painful death. I will never watch it again. 5/8/2011 11:40:45 PM |
StingrayRush All American 14628 Posts user info edit post |
haha i mentioned that to my wife (or i might've said cord, can't keep them straight). i'll still watch it, but it's just one of those shows where i'm guaranteed to get pissed if someone i like gets knocked out, while someone i can't stand wins it. at least it wasn't the globetrotters though 5/9/2011 7:52:24 PM |

I feel like every season there are 2 teams that I like in the last leg and one that I don't, and the one I don't like normally wins.
Anger.
2 days later and I am still mad. 5/10/2011 5:39:06 PM |
bigD ncsu Veteran 440 Posts user info edit post |
I feel your pain sport...there was only one team I DIDN'T want to win in each of the past three seasons - and in every finale, the one that I didn't want to win won.
I, however, will continue to watch, and you know you will, too... 5/10/2011 10:32:28 PM |

FYI, TWW, I am still mad. 5/11/2011 9:15:10 PM |
