Amazing Race

[Awaken]

Is anyone watching? I think this is week 3- I only discovered it b/c I saw a segment on it on the Soup! We got caught up over the weekend with online episodes.

The cheese challenge was hilarious, we were laughing so hard at the runaway cheese! I was waiting for it to crash through a window or something!

I really like Luke and his mom and it was so touching when they came in 1st.

It was heartbreaking how scared Linda was that her husband was going to be mad at her or scream at her for messing up

The pie-throwing challenge looked like fun!

The two flight attendants not understanding the wood-cutting thing and about to carry a log to the pit stop was pretty funny, too.

There seems to be several competitive and promising teams this time!

I like the Amazing Race.

I was surprised at how close the lawyer brother & sister (Tammy & Victor) got to being eliminated this week!! I definitely view them as one of the top contenders...so that was a shock.

My favorite teams are the mom/son (Margie & Luke) and the Dad/son (Mel & Mike). I like Tammy & Victor too... but not the way Victor treats his sister.

The cheese thing last week was hilarous!!!

I would have died in the gymnastics challenge. I remember being so scared of the balance beam in elementary school...and I never could do a cartwheel. I would have to make DH do that challenge!

I love The Amazing Race!

So far there are not any teams I dislike, which is unusual.

I would have loved the gymnastics challenge except for having to wear a tight, white leotard.

I think Tammy is a very big person for not saying "I told you so" after following along on Vioctor's trek. I felt really bad for them when their early flight had to return.

[galincognito]

i totally agree about tammy not saying i told you so; that would have been VERY hard for me!

I LOVE this show!!! So exciting!!! I like the mom and son so far, I'm rooting for them.

[Debstmomy]

Love this show!!!! Amazingly I like all the teams this season. Tonight waas good & next week looks better.

I felt so bad for Kisha and Jen tonight. How horrible to lose over a pee break... especially when you're leading even after doing a U-Turn!!


I like everybody in the final three... I think it's between Tammy & Victor or Margie & Luke, though. The redheaded Sisters are the weakest of the three.

I felt they lost because it took her so long to eat that gross food. If that were me, I would have shoved them all in!

True... but she actually had the starfish shell...while the others ate the "meat?" inside. (bleeech.... personally, i'd have no idea how to eat any of those.)

[Awaken]

I know, how crazy is that. She kept not wanting to pee on herself, but geez, if it's worth a million dollars go ahead and pee on yourself and change clothes after you check in!!!!

That language challenge seemed so hard! I rarely laugh heartily at tv but when they were putting in the orders in Chinese I was laughing so hard at what they were really saying!

I can't stand the redheads attitude. i would be happy with Margie and Luke or Tammy and Victor winning.

My mom and I are big fans and watch every week. Here are my thoughts on the finale/contestants:

Margie and Luke: LOVE them. They're awesome. Both have been excellent throughout this competition. I hope the win.

Tammy and Victor: Excellent players. They worked out their bother/sister issues in the beginning and it allowed them to rock it out and do amazing. Victor's personality is kind of annoying to me but that's beside the point. And even though I think they're both VERY well off (money-wise), I would still be happy if they won.

Jaime and Cara: Which one is the bltchy one? I always get their names confused. It's Jaime right? Anyways, UGGGGGGH she is SUCH A BlTCH! Cannot stand her! She's also extremely rude and whiney. These girls really haven't done THAT GREAT at this competition. They've basically been sliding through - in no means have they been the super stars like the other two teams.

I was really pulling for Jen and Keisha to make it, EVEN THOUGH, they lost major points with me during that whole Jen/Luke drama. Still, seeing Jen overcome her fears and how they worked together, thinking for sure they were eliminated - and then the game was still on - I was really happy and excited for them. And THEN for them to finish their U-Turn, beating the girls, being RIGHT THERE at the end...ugh..it was so frustrating! Seriously, if I were Jen I would've pissed myself.

Yes Jamie is the awful one.

I cannot stand Margie and Luke. I think they are both huge a-holes.

All three of them are featured in this article, the worst human beings on reality shows:

I like the Mom & Son, Margie & Luke. They rock in my book! I hope my relationship with my son is as strong when he is a young man. When the "fight" happened with Jen & Kiesha, all I thought of was Mama Bear protecting her cub.

[eco_mama]

So sad Margie and Luke didn't come in 1st. And to think they had the lead the whole time. Ugh, that was frustrating.

[umsami]

I was sad for Margie and Luke, but happy for Tammy and Victor. I really think both teams played great. I would have been happy for either team to win.

It seems like every season, one of the final challenges is remembering all of the past challenges... so I would expect teams to be prepared for that. Still, the surfboard icons were a little weird.

I thought it was a mistake to have Luke do the surfboard contest. He gets frustrated/flustered when the pressure is on. As soon as Victor showed up he fell apart. I really wanted them to win as well, but I also liked Victor and Tammi. I am just glad the redheads didn't win!

[the_lissa]

Margie did say that Luke was reviewing every leg and detour, which was smart.

Anyone else feel like this season was really forgettable? The contestants weren't all that interesting. Seems like they didn't travel to as many destinations (stayed in Russia for 2 shows, China for 2 shows, etc.).

Maybe I just miss BJ and Tyler
That season rocked!

I LOVED BJ and Tyler, along with Jon and Al(the clowns from Season 4).

Yes. I was sad too . I agree that he probably shouldn't have done that task b/c he does get frustrated so easily. He was great up until those last two boards.

I'm not mad that Tammy and Victor won. I just wish it had been Margie and Luke.
