The Amazing Race (Now Season 25 chat)

[Kelda]

Not too sad to see Ron & Christina go. What was Ron thinking spendig all that time dilly-dallying about!?! Did he really think they would have stripped off and out of the photgraped gear!? 

Vyxin.. ewwww! I hope she didn't have some horrid stomach ache after that dip in the Ganges... its not recommended for Westeners!

From Wikipedia:
Along the 4 miles (6.4 kilometres) stretch of terraced bathing ghats in the holy city of Varanasi, the water of the Ganges is a "brown soup of excrement and industrial effluents."[10] The water there contains 60,000 faecal coliform bacteria per 100 ml, 120 times the official limit of 500 faecal coliforms/100ml that is not considered safe for bathing.[10]

Hahahahahaha... The Amazing Race was on gthe Soup last night (I guess about a week ago for you guys).... talking about the meaning of life roadblock from India where Ron got lost.

Glad Mallory and Gary were saved last episode..

Yay! My fave teams are still in!

Re: the fondue task.. apparently the rules said you had to actually eat the bread.. otherwise the guys could have just drank the cheese.

Flight time and Big Easy were also apparently half an hour in front of the Cowboys getting to the double UTurn so even if they hadnt UTurned the cowboys, they would have still beat them.

Jet used Gary's number (10.5km but accidently added it rather than subtracting it hence why he said 35km and was 13km out....(Jet was at 17km and Gary, 10.5km when they met - difference of 6.5km)

I kept thinking they should just drink the stuff.  That explains it! 

Flight time and Big Easy were also apparently half an hour in front of the Cowboys getting to the double UTurn so even if they hadnt UTurned the cowboys, they would have still beat them.

See, they're messin' with us again via the editing.  I was biting my nails for FT & BE when they lost those tags. 

[Kelda]

yeah apparently they also messed with the order a bit last night... the bit where Jen offered to help Justin with the map was actually after they had passed the roadblock and she was offering to help them get to the castle- not to get them to the guy who would tell them whether they had got the right kms or not.

As soon as I saw her hair and make up in the post leg interviews slotted into the show, I thought the Goths were out.. Too much time on her hands!

Well, I almost got my favourite final four line up..now if only the girls can go out in the first part of the 2 hour finale next week that will be my perfect final 3!!

Very perceptive, Kelda!

Substitute Gary and Mallory for the girls, and you have my final 3 prefs.

I thought Zev and Justin did the right thing doing the other task...no other team was doing it... and they knew they were unlikely to be able to pass a team that was already well started in that so they went for the task that noone else had done, and could have been easier than they thought.

It was only when they knew that it was hopeless that they moved back to the drinks.

Keisha and Jen were my least favourite team of the 4, but when it came to it I was rooting for them to beat the Globies.. the Globies job is priobably a lot better paid and can offer a lot more endorsement opportunities than those girls jobs could...

Liked how Keisha was all like I MISSED YOU!!! to Mike White at the Pitstop

also sis you see "The sinister deaf kid" tshirt Luke was wearing? Hah! I wonder if Mike got it for him!?

Yes, just went back and looked... Jet was grumpy git... grrr....

And Gary and Mallory - love them! So sweet at the end!

Here's coverage of the wedding of meghan and Cheyne from People magazine - http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20487898,00.html?hpt=C2

Interesting tidbit - three other teams were part of the bridal party

    With a nod to the Amazing Race, the couple included three teams of contestants from the show in the bridal party: Tiffany Michelle and Maria Ho (professional female poker players); Sam and Dan McMillen (brothers who finished in second place); and recently divorced Brian Kleinschmidt and Ericka Dunlap (former Miss America and her husband who finished in third place).

Erika's Mum got her wish.....
