AMAZING RACE 5 - Official Thread

[SRUAlmn]

I am wondering too, if any of them up-chucked afterwords.

The internet couple was on the CBS Early Show this morning and the lady (I can't remember her name for the life of me) said she was glad that they didn't show the footage of her puking all over Russia after she ate the caviar. So I'm sure she wasn't the only one- ICK!

I knew the internet lady puke, just the way she was leaning over on the sleigh ride. I bet the twin puked too. When they got to the finish line, the one twin was jumping up and down and the other one looked like "I'm am going to kill someone"

Also, did you notice when they showed them riding in the sleigh she had her head on her sister's shoulder and her face looked really blue.

Love this show! My picks are in for the week!

 

[Tinkbell]

I got all choked up when internet couple lady starting eating that stuff. They pretty much knew they were in last place, yet she kept at it.

 

[shamrock bunch]

I finally got some decent points last night! Woo Hoo!!!
I was sad to see the internet people go too. they were so nice.
I would never have been able to eat the caviar either. Charla better figure out quick that she has been doing all the road blocks.

 

[minniecarousel]

I finally got 200 points in a round! My personal best!

I couldn't believe that those guys let the women eat the caviar! Why didn't THEY agree to do the eating challange? They had to know it would be something unpleasant. I cracked up when Chip went in there and just ate it down! And - I don't understand why the girls didn't try eating the caviar with the toast? It probably would have been more palatable.

I think the toast might have been too filling. I mean, it ws 2.2lbs of cavier. I cant even eat 1/3 hamburger or steak. Let alone, raw fish eggs. I just think the toast would have made them all puke even more.

I cracked up at the bowling moms..."What?? We finished an eating competition ahead of the twins? Who woulda figured it??"

I had the twins as leaving this week, and I got all excited, 'cause I just KNEW they wouldn't be able to eat 2.2 pounds of ANYTHING...

You are really observant!! Do you think they were able to keep the jersey? Cool souvenir!

 

[Beckysc]

It is a good thing they didn't have to eat 2 lbs of hotdogs...that would be around 20.

I am sure I would not be able to eat that much.

 

[Dolphin_Girl008]

I don't think I could eat 2 lbs of ANYTHING.

Reminder to get in your picks for the next show!

I think this show is the best, and I watch it like a hawk. Plus I have TiVo, so if I want to I can rewind and watch a part again. I'm really into it, so much so that I think it's unhealthy!

Bumping for tonite,
I bet tonite is not an eliminatin round.

 

[SRUAlmn]

I was thinking that too. I was trying to remember today how many non elimination rounds there were last year and how often they occurred, but I couldn't remember.

 

[Luckymommyx2]

Bumping this up for tonight....I really wish it was on earlier, like 8pm. Put those darn NCIS reruns at 10 instead. My kids like to watch but I won't let them stay up that late. I hate trying to remember to tape it!!!

I would like to see the non-elimination rounds be eliminated. Maybe we'll actually get to see the yield used sometime. I still can't believe it hasn't yet. We all know who they'll use it on...Charla and Mirna(?)! I wonder what challenge poor Charla will have to endure this week...the previews looked interesting.

 

[The LK 4]

I thought there were only two non-elimination rounds, so I was surprised to hear that there are four.

I can't see the brothers lasting much longer. The one can hardly walk! It looks like the bowling mom who twisted her ankle recovered pretty quickly.

I'm afraid to go and look at my points for last night. I don't think I did very well this week.

 

[onecoolmama]

I am not sure if I like the idea of taking all the money away from the non eliminated curves. I mean, I guess doing something like that is fair, but I think that is a little extreme in a foreign country.

Begging in America..ok, but in foreign countries..I am not sure. I guess the only good thing about it is that they have cameras following them and hopefully people will be generous once they see they will be on TV.

Ya' know, if Mirna and Schmirna would just cut out the whining a little bit, I probably wouldn't be rooting for their demise quite so strongly It's just that everytime the cousin gets into that whiny three-year-old voice (and trust me, I recognize it from DD ) it grates on my very last nerve.

I'm really starting to like Chip and Kim, and the couple that finished first last night (forget the names),,,Can't stand the twins or Mirna/Schmirna Oh, and the young couple is just TOO friggin' syrupy sweet....Yeah, I know...young love...but
