The Amazing Race

My yearly thread...I'd be okay with ANY of these teams winning...

feeds@yuku.com (E Moch) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:13:49 GMT

...To me, this season doesn't have a TK/Rachel that could ruin the entire damn thing.

No ugly American bickering couple...No UTR boring fuckers...No WASPy All-Male team (I know Dan/Sam...but they're just FABULOUS.)

Seriously...I'd be content if any of these teams winning. EVEN Meghan and Cheyne...and I usually hate the young, blonde couples.

Tonight's Legs Shows that Today's Race is for Pussies

feeds@yuku.com (WolfSpirit34) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:32:06 GMT

If you threw any of tonight's teams into TAR6's Stockholm leg, they would have pansied out immediately.

Ice Bar+Epic IKEA Task that lasted for hours+ 5 k bike ride + Epic Hay Bale Task
Tonight's leg?
Go on an amusement park ride, play an amusement park game, fill 10 bags up with sand and push a lever, .2 km run and then hay bale task with people whining after an hour.

I want more Switchbacks to show what low caliber the race is nowadays, compared to...

Sweet Georgia Brown theme...

Whenever TAR plays that music, the GlobeTrotters pull a miracle out of their ass.
Just watch.

Which Switchback would you like to see?

feeds@yuku.com (JVJrule) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:12:00 GMT

With the premiere of the Switchback tonight, which one would you like to see in the future? (Sorry if this has been done before.)

I liked the way they actually named their gnome.

Nice Coming Out Appreciation

feeds@yuku.com (Toddomination) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 21:21:32 GMT

I was touched by Dan & Sam's coming out. The best part was how well all the other teams took it. No judgmental glares from hetero snobs like awful Milly & Chuck did in TAR 4.

New rule: Only direct flights?

feeds@yuku.com (as2o3) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:04:38 GMT

Is there a new rule saying you may only take direct flights? Both Schiphol and Dubai are huge airports, and with a wait that long surely it would be worth looking into other flight options?

Edit: spelling

TAR PRODUCERS -- NEVER CAST ANOTHER FEMALE

feeds@yuku.com (CUBic Zirconiyum) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 23:03:04 GMT

Dear TAR producers,

As long as the race is about physical prowess (read: for every forthcoming season until the show becomes "The Amazing Hug It Out"), please never cast another female racer. They are uniformly frail, weak, and never seem to make up for it with their intelligence or navigational skills.

Thank you.

Yours,
Cuzi

I'm struggling with this latest episode

feeds@yuku.com (Riliss) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 20:18:04 GMT

As much as I wanted Brian and Erika to stay (since up until tonight they'd come off as pretty awesome, and even tonight it was obvious they're good together), I can't help but feel a bit cheated by this latest challenge. There are probably lots of reasons why a F/F team hasn't won the race yet, but in my mind at least it's never been because of challenges where having a penis is necessary. I mean, even that Kynt guy could've hit that hammer hard enough. And while...

The return of the HAY BALES & THE MELTDOWNS :)

I'm surprised they didn't NEL the poker girls so they could be officially fucked in this task.

feeds@yuku.com (louie77) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 19:57:03 GMT

Omh why go on the show if you aren't gonna give it your all!!11! Let a team who truly wants to be there do it.

Go back to your poker table, air conditioning and fruity drinks

Question from episode one

feeds@yuku.com (curmudgeon) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 19:52:56 GMT

Sorry it took so long to post this (I am not in the U.S. right now, and see the shows much later), and sorry if someone has answered this before (I did look through the old topics back to the date of the premiere, and didn't see anything), so...

The two flights into Tokyo landed at 1555 and 1603 (late in the afternoon). The racers proceeded directly to the studio for "sushi roulette." The racers then led the tourists directly (minus some teams getting lost) to the...

Most unintentionally hilarious thing all night.

What is the Switchback?

feeds@yuku.com (cymbals) — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 05:59:08 GMT

Since I am asking questions, What's the story with the switchback?

Is this a roadbock that one team chooses for another team to repeat?
Is it roadblock all the teams do but just a repeat from a previous season?

What is a route info task?

Kevin and Drew

feeds@yuku.com (Roasted Samoas) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:57:19 GMT

Remember when in my class today this girl was giving a speech and she made a powerpoint that was supposed to show best friends and she used a picture of Kevin and Drew she must have found on google, but how can this be??? Wasn't there tons of best friends picture results especially those showing inspirational quotes and kittens during that time?? SO who can that picture of Kevin and Drew still exist first?? IT WAS PLANTED BY AMAZING RACE CREW SO SHE HAS KEVIN AND DREW!!!! Just so they can...
