AMAZING RACE 5 - Official Thread

[Jenn Lynn]

I knew this would happen tonight. Should not have gotten my hopes up.

Did I hear Phil right that there is a Yield in every leg? Will there be one next week? Are the teams only allowed to use it once? I'm sure if Colin and Christy get to it first they will Yield Chip and Kim.

 

[Beth76]

Well, I'm officially off the Chip/Kim team. I can not stand that she doesn't do any of the roadblocks. She doesn't even find out what it is first, she just makes Chip do it. And the poor man is afraid of heights too!!!!

I really don't like the Yield feature. I hope they will get rid of it for the next season. The FF is much better.

I'm glad Colin/Christie are still in the game. I actually like them. Yeah, he's kind of a jerk sometimes, but they have got to be exhausted and stressed. And there's a lot of editing going on. As for today, I bet most of the hostility was brought out by anger for having been yeilded. They had a lead (which they earned) and then were thrown into last place. I really dislike the Yield.

Go Bowling Moms!! I can't believe how fast they put that jeep together.

I couldn't believe it when Christie told the cab driver "the other team didn't play fair". Colin and Christie are both a couple of losers. I hope they become the first losing team to start after a non-elim leg that has trouble begging money (i.e. no one giving them any). I want to see them fall on their faces so bad...

How are they losers? They've come in first the last 3 legs.

Colin is a big baby brat. If things don't go his way he starts whining, crying and blaming it on Christy. I can't believe he ordered her into the dirt to search for the clue and she did it!
Christy isn't any better. What an idiot to jump in the front seat of that car and was yelling at the driver. I want to see them fall hard next week. If they win it will be a replay of Flo the whiner.


I still LOVE this show even if I hate the winners.

I thought Colin and Christy were really poor sports. I understand being upset that they were yielded, but geez! After today I think they are perfect for each other. Seems like Christy gives as good as she gets.

I bet they use the Yield on Chip and Kim next week.

 

[Karel]

Darn it, darn it, darn it!

I thought this was the week they were finally through. What babies. Gloating about their lead, then whining that others don't play fair.

 

[nuke]

They can only yield a team behind them so unless Chip/Kim fall back, C&C yielding them is unlikely. Now I KNOW that I saw in a preview Linda and Karen being yielded so maybe C & C yield them for revenge.


Funny how they didn't see using the Fast Forward earlier in the season as unfair.

In the figurative, not the literal, sense.

Christy seemed almost worse than Colin tonight. She gets really mad about the Yield, so then she's telling the jitney driver to run over people! (Um, wanting to make up time doesn't give you the right to run over innocent bystanders) Then she's nitpicking at Colin, while standing on the sidelines doing nothing. I'd have been mad if I were him, too. It's hard enough dealing with a stubborn water buffalo (or whatever the heck that was...) without someone telling you to do better.

Still rooting for Chip and Kim or the Bowling Moms!

I feel the same way. Kim doesn't do anything! I would love for Chip to win, but don't want her to win at all! She doesn't deserve it! If I were Chip, I'd tell her to get off her lazy butt and help!

So, I say "Goooo Bowling moms!"

Well I, for one (and probably the only one ) am glad this was a non-elimination leg. Don't get me wrong, I think Colin is an *** & Christy isn't much better, but I think the Yield stinks. I like the FF way better. I'd rather C/C go down just by being beaten straight out, I don't want them to have an excuse.

I don't think I care who wins at this point. I guess I still want Chip/Kim except I wish Kim would at least think about doing the roadblock every now & again. However, it doesn't seem to bother Chip, so I guess it shouldn't bother me.

I can't wait for next week!!! TWO HOURS, WOO HOO!!!!!

I definitely agree about if Colin/Christie win, it will be a replay of Flo!! I can't stand either one of them!! The Yeild is part of the game, so what wasn't fair about it?

I love the Bowling Moms...

They were in last place when they were yielded. They were the last ones out of the airport and the last ones to reach the yield.

Chip has helped several teams during the race. When he helped the twins in Egypt, another team was able to make it to the pit stop before him and Kim.

How often has Colin and Christie stopped to give another team a helping hand? At this point in the game it's time to stop trying to be the nice guy.

Let's not forget that all of the other teams also wanted to yield C&C. Chip just got to the box first.

 

[disykat]

I still like chip and kim. I was really disappointed when colin and christy got to stay - partially because I know how hard it will be for chip! The way kim says "you're doing this" every time makes me think that they had some sort of agreement before they started where he said he would - otherwise he'd probably be getting mad.

 

[Planogirl]

I think that just about anyone would have gotten mad if they were Colin tonight. He didn't rant and rave when he was yielded, he just stood there. He also told Christie to quit telling the taxi driver to run over people.

He got mad when Christie was standing there griping about how badly he was doing and wasn't helping a bit. She should have been helping, even Kim was in the mud during that part. I was yelling at her myself because believe me I would have been digging frantically if it were me instead of running my mouth.

As for Chip and Kim yielding them, I think that was a good idea. The others urged Chip to do so but I wonder if they would have? It's easy to make someone else out to be the bad guy.

Chip did help the twins but he also had a run in earlier with them. No one is totally innocent in this game not even the models. Karen sure was grumpy too tonight.

I just wonder how much editing has to do with our impressions now.

ARGH! Stupid non-elimination round. I was sooo hoping C/C would be leaving. I want them gone!!

Had to LOL at Colin doing the plowing. What a whiner. And Christie just standing there barking orders was too funny.

I feel bad for Chip now, cuz you know C/C are gonna be gunning for them next week.

 

[chris1gill]

Everything dizneenut said, I could NOT believe it was a non-elimination night, how disappointing.... I can't stand C/C, UGH!

 

[orvilleair]

Loved the irony when Colin's plow broke and he yelled "This is **"
That segment will go down in the reality show hall of fame.
