Amazing Race is Back! - Page 2

I can only catch bits and pieces but I like the cops. The one show they said something like "this is nothing compared to our real jobs" something to do with staying up all night and sitting in a car.

It'll be interesting to see how Caite does in pageants after this. I have a hard time believing her on stage about equality for all when the whole race she refers to Carol/ Brandy as "the lesbians". ALL THE TIME! I get that they made a comment about her past but not nearly as bad as the brother team. At least last seasons Miss American, was respectful to everyone and really never quit a task.

I think a lot of who wins this season will come down to the final leg. The detectives are good and probably run the best race IMO. But, if the last leg involves alot of running or cardio the shorter guy is going to have a hard time. If Carol/ Brandy get frustrated or feel overwhelmed I don't see them doing so hot either.

Anyone else think some of the challenges this time around or pretty lame? I mean smash coconuts and build a raft? Maybe they didn't show us enough to get a sense of how long it took teams to find the coconut with color inside but it didn't look that hard. Steve and Ali were interviewed and she said she smashed over 100. And they were at least 30 minutes behind the last team to check in.

It was a mistake for Steve and Ally (Alli.?) to leave the cab. One thing I've learned from watching TAR over several seasons is never leave your cab. Sometimes the foreign cab drivers will say the distance isn't very far to some place, but the distance isn't as close as they say it is. It's probably due to language barriers or cultural differences.
Steve is in awesome shape. In the last task at Seychelles when he took his shirt off..wow..he had a six pack. Not bad at all.
I thought Ally should have given the flagpole balancing task a real go. It seemed like she gave up too easy. The Cowboys had it right. To really do that task well you have to move. The Cowboys were amazing on this leg. Even with the extra task they had to do, they still came out ahead.
I just love the "oh my gravy" comments they make. So cute.

I can't stand Caite. The guy she's with on this show isn't that great either. If they get eliminated tomorrow, I'm not shedding any tears for them.

I don't have any favorites this season. The Cowboys and the Detectives are the teams I like the best, but no team really grabs me.
