The Amazing Race (Now Season 25 chat)

[Kelda]

Season 3 - when Zach and Flo won! They have actually repeated a lot of the S3 destinations this season..

The punting in Oxford (Ken and Gerard were the comedy brothers that season that kept falling in to the river while punting) and also Aberdeen (where the male Cheerleader Andrew and his Dad got knocked out) & Morocco (where they had do do a similar food stall challenge but it was selling a certain amount of plates of snails as a road block)

Lord, Kelda, you sure remember a lot!  I hardly remember Season 24, much less Season 3. 

I just stopped by the Beekman 1802 pop-up holiday store in the Village and bought some goodies.  Josh and Brent will be in town next weekend to host wine and cheese tasting at the store.  They're doing really well with their business.

I was bummed to see the cyclists come to grief last week.  They were my favorites.  Bad luck that they drew such a hard challenge and then had to watch the darn surfers complete it.  I thought it was funny, though, that nobody U-turned them after all the talk about doing it.

All talk no trousers re the U turn apart from the scientists!

I was disappointed that no-one shouted - MY OX IS BROKEN! at the final task - thats such an iconic line of the amazing race - they even named an amazing race book after it!

I'm not on the same season as you and have watched seasons out of order, but it's an addictive show and really tickles ones travel bone.

Well, another season's in the bag.  My wrestlers got lost, unfortunately.  I wasn't rooting for the scientists at all.  It reminded me of when the Beekman Boys won after being one of the weaker teams all the way through.  In that case, I was ecstatic.  Not so much this time.

I quite liked the Scientists. And that last task on the penultamite episode must have been hard for Amy. And apparently the final roadblock lasted hours...
