AMAZING RACE 5 - Official Thread

I actually liked Charla and Mirna. The 2 I want out are Colin and Christie. At least when Charla and Mirna were behind in a race or losing thier lead, they didn't get all angry and pout like those 2 do.

I'm rooting for Chip and Kim. They are so happy to be visiting these locations. They really appreciate this opprotunity they were given. They've been pretty classy.
 
Did anyone see the Morning Show this morning.

About half-way thru the show last nite a commercial for the Morning Show came on. Julie Chen, say's "see what the elimination round people have to really say about how things really went". Why did they do this, it gave away whether their would be an elimination round or not.

I instantly said, Myrna and Charla were eliminated.

I wonder what they had to say?
 
When are the episodes rerun on Saturday? I got so involved watching the women's gymnastics that I totally forgot to flip over to AR! I did see the last 10 minutes, so I saw Charla/Mirna get eliminated but it sounds like it was an interesting episode, I'd love to see the whole thing! Thanks!
 

I'm sorry to see them go. I thought they were very funny and smart! I loved how they cared and motivated each other. I really can't stand Colin and his girlfriend. I think Colin is a skank. It really pissed me off when he referred to Charla as "the midget" And the 2 holy rollers make me sick. I'm now rootin' for Chip and Kim. Actually ANYBODY but the 4 idiots I mentioned.
 
I'm so sad about Mirna and Charla :( I really wanted them to win this race!

Colin could be Wil's (from AR2) long lost twin. Yuck! My DH doesn't like him at all either.

The 2 Holy Rollers make me laugh at least. My sister's friend said that they guy looks like he just stepped out of the Blue Lagoon. Now I can't look at him without laughing.

I'd love to see Chip and Kim win the race now. They have a good attitude! Also, the Bowling Moms are really cool.

I like Chip and Kim and then the Bowling Moms.

I bet poor Brandon felt pretty stupid watching the show last night and realized that he was ripped off big time by the bus people!:eek:

Charla and Mirna were very entertaining - but pretty obnoxious - they and Colin are pretty much ranked the same in my book on the nasty level. They all dished it out. Charla, to me, pulled the weight on their team, Mirna just sat back and whined or swore....:rolleyes: It's funny, though, that when C&M played nasty, it was all fun and games, but when the others were nasty - they were evil and violent.....
 
Brandon/Nicole & the Twins were so stupid to get on the bus w/o negotiating the price first! I was scared for them when the guys wouldn't let them get off the bus before they even got started. I don't blame Nicole for being angry for the rip-off! But for their safety, she should have handled it differently. I've about had it with Brandon & his "faith". C'mon - having faith and believing in God is great, but He expects us to take care of ourselves! Colin is sooo annoying - & Christie blocking the door at the airport was just plain mean! I won't miss Mirna, but I really liked Charla.
 
I'd love either Chip & Kim or the Bowling Moms to win at this point. They're HAVING FUN! And despite it all, they're doing what they have to do without bringing any of the others down.

I was sad to see C/M go too. I liked them.

I cannot STAND Colin & Christie. I didn't like him from the moment I saw their little interview or whatever it's called on the first episode and he said something about how aggresive he was. I just think he is a JERK and Christie was a twit for trying the block the freaking door of the AIRPORT! Although Myrna was snotty and out of line at times, I think there was a lot of this junk going on towards them that we didn't see. And as someone else mentioned, they must be GOOD for FOUR other teams to want to work together so C/M couldn't win! For goodness sake! I'm glad Colin was gagging on the eggs- he deserved it for not only being a jerk in general, but for being such a horses behind to Christie when she had to eat the grody cavier!!!!!!! I hope he gets arrested next episode and they are either eliminated or have to do the leg with no money.

I felt badly for the twins and Brandon and Nicole about the bus situation and getting so ripped off, but Nicole acted immature and out of line by throwing the money on the ground to a big man in a foreign country. That was rude, not to mention stupid.

I am so glad the bowling moms caught up to 3rd place- good for them!!! I sincerely hope either they or Chip and Kim win the race. I was a little bummed when Chip and Kim sided with C and C, but they didn't seem THAT loyal to them...I like how they were so friendly to the native people and sat for a minute to eat with them. They seem like good-hearted, genuine folks who treat each other well.

Oh no! I really liked C&M, sorry to see them go.:(

I can't stand Colin&Christie at all. I think they both act like jerks, him especially. I watched the early show and mirna said that a lot of teams underestimated them and that as the game progressed the others realized C&M were able to compete with everyone else, they became upset and in Colin's case, pissed-off and intimidated. If he wasn't worried about C&M, then why did he rally everyone else against them? Why did he go out of his way to be physical against them? I watched last week's show again on Sat. and he slammed his backpack into Mirna and had a big smirk on his face, really looked intentional. Small walkway or not he didn't have to knock into her as hard as he did. He was also the one who said "we have to beat the midget". I think he was terrified of C&M beating him, maybe it would damage his pride. Perhaps, Mirna was right and that Napoleon complex was nagging at him. He seems to have a problem with anyone who gets ahead of him, notice the look he gave when Chip finished the eggs first? He was also rude to the local supervising the egg roadblock, when it was his own fault he had a problem filling the container. Colin& Christie's airport behavior was totally obnoxious . So, Mirna told the ticket agent not to sell them tickets, isn't that just turnaround is fairplay? If people are offended by Mirna's reaction, IMO that is demonstrating a double standard attitude. I thought it was hilarious. What is the big deal if they spoke some of the languages with a phony accent? At least they could speak and understand a lot of the languages, more than the other teams!

As for Charla eating the eggs, they had discussed their strengths and weaknesses before the race and agreed Charla would do the food challenges. I thought it was touching when Phil choked up at the end, he expressed that Chala did a commendable job and proved herself, which means alot, considering he knows "all" the inside scoop that we don't see . IMO, that speaks volumes. I think Charla was a courageous woman who worked extremely hard to prove herself. She reiterated on the early show that she used what she had to play the game and that she used her shortness and intelligence.;) Way to go Charla!::yes::

Out of the teams left, I'll root for Chip& Kim ( they seem like a genuinely nice and sweet couple) and the bowling Moms. :sunny:
 
I had never watch AR before this season, and tuned in this time specifically to see Charla, as I, too (and DH) am a little person. So, obviously, I am disappointed that she is now gone. I am now hooked and will continue to watch, of course. :teeth:

I think there would have been a lot fewer C/M haters out there if C had a different partner. Of the two, Mirna was by far the most obnoxious, IMO. I don't think she was as bad as some seem to think, but to each their own, I guess. My favorite team now is Chip & Kim.. they are just so thrilled to be there! They make me smile, especially Chip. :D
 
:sad: :sad: OK, today is Thursday, and I JUST realized I missed the show!!! I was watching the Olympics, and I forgot!! I also missed Big Brother!!:crazy:
 
I missed both last night too. Cookie was kind enough to post an update on BB on the BB thread. This thread has also done a great job updating me.

Hey, Tink, you're not as bad off as you think.. today is only Wednesday! :wave: Plus, they rerun AR on Saturday. :)
 
Sad about Charla going, and I too, choked up when she gave her speech.:( However, I agree that Chip & Kim seem to appreciate the trips and LOVE to visit other places, they have a good spirit among them.;) Hope they win, cause they really deserve to.::yes::
 
So glad to see C&M gone Charla was manipulative to a point it made you want to puke especially with all her talk of I can do all the things everyone else can do but when it came down to it she used her size to get others to do things for her. As for Myrna she was just Ignorant and abrasive to a point you wanted to pull out a gun and either shoot her or yourself so you didn't have to listen to her anymore. Nicole handled the bus situation terribly and when you hear the saying the few ruin it for the many that is a prime example. Many people say that US travelers get slighted and taken advantage of and are not liked etc well when you have even a few people acting like she did and especially when it is on TV it gives others the perception that many of the people from the US are like that when truly they are not. Brandon tried to make nivce but the genmtleman would have nothing to do with it and Chip and Kim were just amazing last night and the gesture of siting with the people on the porch and eating with them was terrific. I also liked his generosity with giving the gentleman who helped them find the address a nice little tip for his help. The Bowling moms were funny and were just siding with C&M to see what they could offer them not a bad plan.

C&C on the other hand make me laugh because with them it is lets finnish first ever leg and beat them all to everything well it backfires on them so often it makes you laugh. The twins well there isn't reall much to say there they both act like 12 year old girls out on their own in a mall for the first time. They are so airheaded that I don't think they could find their way around the block if they didn't have someone to help lead them there. Those are my thoughts on the episode and the teams from last night.
 
I found C/M to be very entertaining, which is the point, right? I will miss them and wonder who will be cast as the new "villan." I suspect Colin.

I find the twins somewhat entertaining as well, especially when they say something silly.

I love Amazing Race but I just wish it was on earlier!
