The Amazing Race (Now Season 25 chat)

[David In Indy]

So what did we think?

I ejoyed it!

I liked the Globetrotter/Zev/Justin camardery (can't spell that word!)

I guess the teams knew who was on the race with them then.. when they came all prepared with the tshirts!!

It looks like the cowboys are in trouble, Kelda. Although I haven't been losing any sleep over it. They re-aired last Sunday's episode again tonight on CBS so I had a chance to watch it a second time. It will be interesting to find out what happens to the cowboys tomorrow. However, I highly doubt CBS will allow them to lose so early in the race. Half the people watching (or more) are probably rooting for them. I think they will somehow find a way to catch up and stay in the race. Failing that, this leg will probably be a non-elimination. That would keep them in.

Also, one of the teams will have to do both of the roadblocks tomorrow. The cowboys could catch up if they run into problems with one of those challenges.

You already know? How did you find out Kelda? Can you tell me? Or direct me to the website with the information?

Maybe you could PM me with the answer!

You really want to know?

Well the reality fan forum has a defiinite boot list for a few legs and approximate for the rest.

They have all sorts of soilers and pictures on it.. they call themselves the TAR detectives as the scour the internet and sometimes reallife locations for clues about the progress of the race.  They use twitter, google maps and so on to try and track progress from people who post stuff like - OMG! I saw a filming of the amazing race while at x..

I won't be looking at the spoiler list, but it's good to know about.  Thanks, Kelda.  I was amazed to see the cowboys get so hung up last week.  I thought the Globetrotters would have trouble with the code, but they lucked out.  The incident on the first plane was a great example of how this game keeps you guessing.  Good for Gary and Mallory!

I still am rooting for my boys the Globetrotters, though they had some real "dumb blonde" moments last time.

Thanks Kelda!

Yes, I really wanted to know and I went over there and peeked.

It sounds like it will be a good race!

So what did people think??

Loved Zev's...

"Ouch.. I shut my tail in the door..." 

Felt sorry for Mel and Mike... not too sad to see Amanda and Chris go.. but wondered why noone chose the paint/apit task.. looked soooo much faster..

Loved them all bouncing around the road!!!!

I missed the middle part because I flipped over to the Oscars telecast.  But I was happy to see the Globetrotters come in second and the cowboys recover to take third.  The kangaroo costumes were a hoot.  Poor Amanda and Kris--the last shot we saw of them was in those crazy suits!  

[Kelda]

So what did you guys think of this episode?

I love how happy Mallory is all the time.. it's quite infectious.. and they seem to be bonding well with Zev and Justin who are also fun and their happy jokey way is great.

 I didn't like Ron with his reaction after the woman gave them directions, and him complaing that, if the directions were wrong, then her "ineptitude" would cost them time. Like you say.. why ask for directions if you're only going to assume that they're wrong? Just pay for a taxi!

I actually thought Jamie was okay last night.. remember how badly she reacted in China? I can imagine that crashing the car was really really stressful, and for her she kept a really cool head then and through the rest of the leg.

Sad to see Mel & Mike go.. I liked their commentary of what was happening in the race and I liked how much they clearly cared for each other and would do anything for the other - i.e stay  in the mud in mel's case or get out of the mud and quick the detour like Mike.

Also Hazari and Christina are engaged..?? I heard they had a 'liason' but didn't know they were stil together never mind enagaged!

[Kelda]

Oh and i was reminded of soemthing from last week that cracked me up..

Justin -- "We'll do the mosiac challenge, he's artistic."
Zev -- "And autistic."
