AMAZING RACE 5 - Official Thread

[Luckymommyx2]

The flight was late taking off so the bowling moms were able to catch up. They've had more lives than cats!!!

Ah, ok.. I knew it had to be one of those cliffhangers-that-are-solved-in-two-seconds things.

 

[shamrock bunch]

Woo Hoo, I did pretty well w/ my guesses. I think lauraljp is in the lead now - Congrats.

Does anyone else notice how far ahead in points our league is?!

 

[lauraljp]

I can't believe I am in the lead. I have had some lucky guesses! It is fun to play and then watch and see what happens. I did get tonight's elimination right, though.

I have a couple of favorites but the only team that has really been bugging me lately is Colin and Christie. Mostly Colin, he just seems so arrogant.

Looking forward to next week!

Geez, I did bad this week on the questions. I only got three right! Mirna is driving me crazy!!! When she called Colin and Christie maniacs because they wouldn't let her take their taxi that they hadn't even paid for yet. Give me a break!! What was the deal with the assult thing? I didn't really see what happened in the line, but to me it just looked like he bumped into her. She is such a drama queen, it's sickening!
I did feel sorry for the team that was eliminated even though they were kind of annoying at times. What a bad way to have to go out! Next week looks good too, can't wait!

I like Charla and Mirna. I heard Charla tell Mirna to "hurry up" a couple of times. I think she gives as good as she gets.

Colin and Christie bug me. Chip and Kim are growing on me.

Go Bowling Moms!!! You make us middle aged slightly out of shape moms proud!!

Charla and Mirna bring a level of entertainment to the show each week. I can only take them in small doses.

Colin is just a strange bird on a HUGE ego trip.......

I like Chip and Kim.........they are fun......

BUT GO BOWLING MOMS!!

 

[spb999]

Mirna is SO dramatic........"I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die" while loading in the goats.....I think she was hoping Charla would say, "don't worry Mirna I'll do it ! "

Whew, I did a lot better than I thought with this week's quiz. I got tripped up on the taxi question.

I can't take much more of Charla and Mirna.

 

[Luckymommyx2]

I will give Mirna credit. She has been able to speak at least a little something in every country's native language. They had both Mirna and Charlotte on the local news and I liked them a lot more after seeing the piece. Mirna is really smart and fluent in five(?) languages and Charlotte is a riot! They have to be at the top of my list since they are locals!

I can't take much more of Colin though!! He would be enough to drive me to drink if I were Christie.

I agree that Chip and Kim are growing on me more and more.



SPOILER...




I'm glad the brothers are gone because it was just too painful to watch any longer. I was really impressed the bowling moms were able to catch up and stay in the game!

On the Charla Mirna homefront....
When Charla does the challenges (and she usually does) I don't think that mirna gets on her too much, she does tell her to hurry but also gives encouragement, it seemed to me that Charla was getting really nasty with Mirna when she couldn't find that rock, until she found it then it was good job.

On the other hand the bowling moms (and I don't know their names) the one that was digging was getting upset and not once did the other one say anything nasty to her....go bowling moms!!

I listened closely last night and most ALL the teams told each other to "hurry up" at various times. I think Myrna's voice just grates on viewers and we don't realize they are all saying that. I really am for Charla and Myrna. The show would lose a lot of "fun" if they go. And they are smart too, unlike the clueless twins. Colin is the most annoying person to me. Chip and Kim are still my other favorite. Then Brandon and Nicole-they have a great attitude. They bowling moms are ok, but I don't feel like I "know" them as well as the others.

spb999-I also thought that Myrna said "I'm gonna die" so that Charla would rescue her! I was kind of surprised Charla did not step in!

 

[shamrock bunch]

Decker - I agree w/ you about Mirna! How arrogant is she to knowingly take someone else's taxi and act like there is nothing wrong w/ it. She feels like she is being assaulted.

 

[workinggal]

I gained a lot of respect for the brothers last night. Even though the one could barely walk, the other one didn't get on his case about it all.

 

[Grog]

How arrogant is she to knowingly take someone else's taxi and act like there is nothing wrong w/ it.

I'm one of Mirna's biggest defenders, but even I though she was way out of line. I could see if she saw the other team walking away with their bags over their shoulders, but the bags were still in the trunk ( with the trunk open) and the driver wasn't even in the cab. That should make it obvious he was waiting for the other team.

I know that teams have to do the tasks together, but do thay have to be together constantly? I would think it would be safer to have one person run in to check on the flight and the other guard the cab.

It was Charla that was yelling this time, during the dig...I was saying that Mirna yells at her during challenges but not too bad, where last night Charla was amongst other things telling her to mover her A** and she never said any words of encouragement until the end when Mirna found the rock.

I can't stand Colin either, I can't wait to see next weeks, that scene was shown so fast...did anyone catch what happened?

 

[The LK 4]

Did anyone else watch the interview on The Early Show today? I was always wondering why the one brother would sign up for the show if he had knee problems.

He said that he had severe tendonitis during the show. Never had it before the show, hasn't had it since. Talk about bad luck! It was nice to see how the brothers supported each other.

 

[BibbidiBobbidiBOO]

Sorry Stacey, that was not in response to your previous post, rather to all the previous thread complaints about Mirna yelling that!

 

[StaceyA]

never mind

typo!
