The Amazing Race (Now Season 25 chat)
Kelda:
See I thought they were both so into the race and racing for the clue that it was one each, him first her second (slightly).. he could have broken her nose with that elbow swipe.
It's like a law school class where they do an exercise to show how unreliable witnesses are...we all saw the same incident from the same angles and some of us saw Luke being aggressive and some of us saw Jen being aggressive.
It was very much a Killer Fatigue thing me thinks. They had an overnighter from the airport to the first task - notice the change of clothes and from night to day all of a sudden?
They also did another task not seen on the show.. http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/photos/photos.php?v=24872&s=1&p=1
something to do with chinese drums.
I also loved the music/clips of the brothers dancing!

I'm with you Kelda, I saw Luke being aggressive first. I also thought his hissy fit at the end was a total over-reaction and illustrates exactly why I'm so wary of deaf people, many seem to be prone to these temper tantrums. I'm sure the reason is just frustration at not being understood but it can be rather unnerving. His mom fanning the flames didn't help. [Is signing with thick gloves on, like Phil did, the sign-language equivalent of talking with your mouth full?]
I hope the evil Cheerleaders don't end up winning.
Kelda:
See I dont mind the cheerleaders - cara is fun and nice and at least Jamie realises shes being annoying...
Yeah he was taking a total hissy fit at the end... but I'm sure if I was on the race I'd have a hissy fit or ten... so he can be forgiven - of he saw that last night and apologised.
And lol about Phil's gloves!!
It was weird how Margie was like NOOO dont say anthing and then she just blew her top! It was good of Keisha to apologise if they took it wrong but to be clear that they were not laughing at him for being deaf.

:laugh: :laugh:
And I don't like those cheerleaders either. I'll feel very disheartened if they win. They are mean and rude. There is no excuse for that kind of behavior. They have been pissing me off consistently for several weeks.
I disagree with the two of you about Luke though. That was a natural reaction. If someone came up behind me and tried to push me out of the way I'd probably elbow them too. Not on purpose.... I think it would be more of an instinctive move.
I don't know. :-\
Kelda:
Margie but especially Luke came off as bad sports this episode. I liked them before last week's freak out bit now, I dont want them to win I dont rekon, really in terms of performance Tammy & Victor should win and they actually have been a decen funny team the whole way through apart from that little blip in Romania. But three legs in china is a bit of an unfair advantage for them!
Felt sorry for Jen, but didn;t like their comment at the airport 'me no speak english' - ugly americanism!
