AMAZING RACE 5 - Official Thread

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...

I could not believe Christie said the other team didn't play fair. What a baby. I'm sure it was "fair" when they used the fast forward, I don't really see a difference. It's all part of the game. I was so disappointed it wasn't an elimination round.

I was also upset that it was a non-elimination round. I also thought it was bad strategy for Chip to run and do the yield first. Brandon said they would do it if they got there first and everyone but Colin and Christie got there at the same time. The smart thing to do would have been to let Brandon and Nicole yield and then Chip and Kim would have a yield available later in the game when they might need it more. Just my opinion, I'm sure it's hard to think straight under that pressure!

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

I totally agree I was wanting them gone! If those two are still together than she is either stupid or a glutton for punishment, Colin has all the classic signs of an abuser! What a temper! He is a total jerk, she seems to settle him down but who wants to go through life with someone who flys off the handle all the time and blames others for their own mistakes.

That sucks no elimination rond I think they should space them out a little better next time around having them all near the end is a bad idea. Every team was going to yeild C&C I ope they get it again next week to.

"My ox is broke"
"I hate you"


Sounds like a three year old.

Once again, last night made me wonder if the elimination rounds really are predetermined. I don't believe they are for one second anymore.

 

[Kimberle]

What a show! I was on the edge of my chair the whole show!!

Another unhappy person here. C&C are such jerks and every other team knows that. They were ALL going to yeild them.

Can you believe how Christy told the driver to "JUST RUN THEM OVER". She was dead serious, too. Run over people, KILL them so you can win a race.

I was so disapointed it was a non-elimination round. C&C are going to be even meaner next week.....

I really had to *LOL* when the Mom's were the first team to assemble their car!!

 

[lucky978]

Fell asleep last night before the shoe even started! What is wrong with me???!!!

Looks like I missed a great episode!

"My ox is broke"

That line is going to be an AR classic

 

[DarrenSt]

I think they should have been eliminated for not finding the clue properly LOL.

I loved the "My Ox is Broke" line too. Couldn't help from laughing at loud!

 

[TiggerInNY]

What a baby!!! I too wish that C/C were booted off. They have been leading every time I watched. What a ruthless person she is. Telling the taxi driver to run those people over. I was thinking that it's usually the guy who is soooo competitive and nasty. And it is too fair what they did. They didn't do anything deceitful. That's part of the GAME. It's a GAME!!!! I guess a really good game with $1M at the end. I like the Hawaii trip that they won for being first, though. Chip, I mean. I forgot his wife's name. Ooopps!! I'm routing for the bowling moms.

Only 1 week left, right? They said it's a 2 hour finale next week? Did I hear that correctly? I was a little tired by that time.

Go moms!!!

TTFN,

Yep, , two hour FINALE next week!!! I want Chip/Kim or Brandon/Nicole to win. I think I've had it with the brunette on the mom team...all she does is whine or complain!!!

They really need to do away with the non-elimination rounds; it just raises the frustration level on this end!!! I couldn't believe the things coming out of C/C mouth. I think we saw a whole other side of Christie in this episode!! Just anyone but them win, PLEASE!!!!

 

[OhMari]

The Yield is part of the game and why not use all the elements of the game. I bet if C/C where in the lead, they would of used the yield on someone this part of the race, that was probably why they were so ticked off. There are fastforwards in the game, it is usually with the first roadblock.

With Kim not doing roadblocks, ya the tasks seem really hard and all the other guys are doing it for their girlfriends, but then the bowling moms are doing it. I was a little disappointed in Kim last night, she could of tried to climb that rope and she probably would of felt very proud of her self if she did it.

E-Online reported that someone will be all dressed up and only they were invited to represent the AR for the Emmy show next week. I am not telling who it was, and I hope if you go and read it, you don't tell either. E-Online says AR does not give anything away ever and this might not mean anything at all.

 

[zurgswife]

I also was very frustrated with the non elimination round....what a let down.....they need to only have 2 and in the beginning...not at the end...makes to much difference in the game....


I wish C/C would lose big time...I can't stand them...

 

[GoofItUp]

I can't stand C/C, either. I hope they self-destruct again next week (like the plowing challenge) and get tossed out so that they're not even in the final 3.

The bowling moms annoy me. Karen (dark-headed one) was grouchy last night, but I would be too if I had to spend that much time with Linda (blonde). She is they whiney one IMO. She does a lot of the challenges and everything, but she is constantly yapping. Gets on my nerves.

I would be ok with Brandon and Nicole winning. I'm not enamored with them, but think they've done ok.

My favorites to win, though, are Chip and Kim. It doesn't bother me that Kim doesn't do challenges. If it's working for them and Chip doesn't mind, why not? She supports him and they work well together. Go Chip and Kim!

That segment will go down in the reality show hall of fame.

OMG - I actually did LOL when I read this. Actually, it was ox...stuff...but who's gonna quibble. Very funny.

I was cracking up at Christie when they were trying to put the jitney together. Colin comes over and says "I'm missing a bolt (or was it a screw...that's even funnier, come to think of it...) - you have to come and help me find it." and she told him "I'm doing THIS now...go get it yourself!"

Then he told her to jump in the mud and feel around for the rope, and she took about 4 strides in, reached in and said, "It's RIGHT HERE!" Priceless.

Was so disappointed that it was a non-elimination round. UGH!

 

[travelbug24]

I don't mind the fact that Chip is doing the roadblocks either. Just like Goofitup said...it works for them and they are doing very well. The ladder climb was very difficult and Chip said while going up the bowling moms will never be able to do it and if they do...they will win this race. After meeting up at the airport, Chip asked Karen...Did you climb that ladder? She says, she did and Chip gave her a big hug. I love that guy! He's even adorable when he's snoring in the airport. Chip said he was ashamed that he used the yield but c/c are the better team. No, Chip, not better, just faster.

Linda and Karen put the jeep together first because one of them explained. They are BOTH mother's of three and they are used to putting things together LOL

Shame on Christie for screaming "run them over" and "they played unfair, they yielded us". Like the cab driver gives a rat's a**.

I Looooooove Chip and Kim. But I won't be unhappy if they B/N or K/L win.

Colin saying "My Ox is broke" was the second funniest thing that happened this race (behind that guy going "twins" wink, wink when he helped Kami and Karli out. I was in hysterics last night after that line! I wish they would make a blooper/funniest moments reel to air during the finale. I would love to see a reunion show like Survivor!
