The Amazing Race (Now Season 25 chat)

I'm happy to see the Beekman Boys, Josh and Brent, on the show this season.  They have a cute reality series on cable about their goat farm and how they cope with learning how to run the business.  I doubt they'll win, as the young couples are really gung-ho, but I'm rooting for them to survive.

I was sorry to see Amy and Daniel leave, too.  They had a tough break with the bad cabbie.  I think they would have been top contenders.

I am rooting for Brent and Josh. I loved them on "The Fabulous Beekman Boys" on Planet Green. I agree with you though, they probably won't win the whole thing. I also like the Chippendales for obvious reasons! I'll root for them if Brent and Josh get eliminated.

Thanks for re-starting this thread, Kelda!

The Amazing Race truly has been amazing this time around.  I can hardly believe it, but Josh and Brent made it all the way to the 2-hour finale!  Like Josh said, it's a combination of good luck, bad luck and dumb luck. 

Here's a link to their show on the Cooking Channel:

And the website for their farm upstate:  http://beekman1802.com/

I was sorry to see Abby and Ryan get such a tough break twice running with the plane delays.  Also ABBA was a strong team, then had passport trouble.  That's why this show is so engaging.  You just never know who's going to get hung up and bumped off for one reason or another.

Yeehaw!  The underdoggiest underdogs ever on The Amazing Race!  I still can't believe it.  I was just glad they made it to #4.  I don't think anyone thought they'd be able to beat Trey & Lexi or the Chippendales.  But physical strength isn't always enough.  The flag challenge was really hard, and the Beekmans held on for the win.  Congratulations!!!!!        

ETA:  Josh and Brent wrote a lovely thank you to each team on their website:

The Fabulous Beekman Boys aired on Planet Green for two seasons and then was canceled. But I read that the Cooking Channel has picked it up, so you might try looking on their website, Kelda!

From Wikipedia -

On August 9, 2010, Planet Green announced that The Fabulous Beekman Boys had been renewed for a second season of ten episodes. In announcing the renewal, Laura Michalchyshyn, President and General Manager of Planet Green, noted that the series "has quickly established itself as a cornerstone franchise for Planet Green".[2] The second season began on March 22, 2011.[3]
 
Planet Green declined to renew The Fabulous Beekman Boys for a third season based on low ratings.[4] However, Cooking Channel announced in April 2012 that it had picked up the series for a third season. The channel plans to repeat the first two seasons with additional footage as well.[5]
