Amazing Race All Star starts 2/23/14 Offical Thread no spoilers

[Debbie]

I tried a few months ago, to watch your show from Canada, but I cannot find it anywhere. Can I find it and watch it on my IPad?

Mari, I looked on youtube.com and was able to locate it. The first one (S1 E1) is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MY5cG8zo7g From there, you should be able to see the other shows. I've watched AR China Rush 1 and 2, and AR Australia that way. HTH

And, yes, I believe that the Cowboys, by not being first to the U-turn, risked it all. It only makes sense to U-turn the stronger team.

I think Rachel is too old to whine like a 4 year old......

Her bull-y "pun" was whiny like always. I think it was 50% her usual complaints and 50% pun.

I'm not a boy-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y
I'm a girl-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l

And her classic The race is supposed to be fun-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n

I don't think she's intelligent/quick-witted enough to have made such a pun, honestly.

Every time I see their "Brenchel's" T-shirt, it's like visual nails on a chalkboard. Who is Brenchel? Brenchel's what? Were they going for "The Brenchels" (which also makes no sense) & they think the apostrophe just kind of... signals the presence of the letter S?

LOL, I agree about the shirt. I'm not a Grammar Nazi, but the Brenchel's thing really annoys me. Making something possessive when you mean to make it plural (people do this most often with last names) is a pet peeve of mine.

 

[Tinker'n'Fun]

I know people don't like them much but it is Brenchel's Army, so the possessive pertains to Army. I wonder if it is on the back of the shirt or they dropped it?

As for this episode. I just finished it and while I totally agree that Rachel was whiny, I think I would be too. Look how injured Jamal is?

Both DH and I both agreed we thought it looked painful.

The U-turn was played properly as look how long it took them to walk to the pad. The Cowboy's just needed one less mistake and they could have U-turned the girls and it very well could have made the difference.

I like the previous poster's idea. Give the cowboys a show. I would watch it.

 

[MIGrandma]

So long Jett & Cord, maybe someone will do a Reality Show of your ranch. Sure going to miss those two.

I would definitely watch that!!

If you're going to pick at somebody at least do it for a legitimate reason. "Brenchel's" is not supposed to be plural or possessive, it's a contraction that goes with "back" which is on the other side of their shirts.

I completely agree, I'm not a whiny person and all I thought while watching that is that I would have been whining just as much.

Not to be persnickety....

But Brenchal's Back?

Did they mean that Brenchal is back? Because to me--still sounds lame. But I guess it is technically accurate since it is Team Brenchal and the team is back. But it just reads totally awkward. Team Brenchal's would have been better. But still awkward. But team is singular--Brenchal is a combo of two names.

 

[dsneprincess]

Really interesting post. I was just telling my husband that I thought there was no way the cowboys could ever win AR because they will always be taken out for being too big of a threat. But you make a good point that the easy tasks hurt them as well. I have often complained that these reality All Star seasons are always so easy. I think they worry about quitters after what happened in the first Survivor All Stars.

Now that the cowboys are gone, just call me an "Accidental Brenchal fan".

I wholeheartedly agree with this. I am also, now, an accident Brenchal fan,(maybe I need a hashtag to make it hipper!) even though the shirt with the apostrophe has driven me insane all season. I spent 2 weeks trying to see the back and still just don't get it.

It may sound lame, but it's grammatically correct.

Ok, I'll admit that I never paid any attention to the back of the shirt. I just kept seeing "Brenchal's" on the front and thought they meant to refer to themselves as "The Brenchals" like you would with a surname. My bad.

 

[dsneprincess]

I have a question.
At the mat, did the Host of each country have something with them, that represented their country? Last night it was the lady with the horse and the horse bowed down to the racers. I was trying to remember. I know they are dressed in a costume that represents their countries.

I like Connor, but his dad, blah! TAR always wants someone one the show you love to hate. You wouldn't want to love all the racers.

So long Jett & Cord, maybe someone will do a Reality Show of your ranch. Sure going to miss those two.

I would so watch a show featuring the Cowboys on their ranch! What a great idea!

 

[BriarfoxinWA]

So I was sad to see the Cowboy's go but I also loved it when he walked over to the girl and asked to ride her beautiful horse!

 

[kaytieeldr]

Did I hear the (first?) Boot It team correctly? Did they make a mistake that will need to be corrected before they can check in?

 

[kaytieeldr]

Oh, duh. "I didn't know!". Never mind read the clue; how about comprehend the clue??

 

[CinderElsa]

Oh, duh. "I didn't know!". Never mind read the clue; how about comprehend the clue??

As I said... she is not bright.

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

That looks like it might be a cool entrance to the finish line.

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Oh, duh. "I didn't know!". Never mind read the clue; how about comprehend the clue??

I didn't rewind, but I could have sworn she read it out loud. We were wondering if her brain saw "between 9 and 11" and picked 10.

 

[Art 1]

As I said... she is not bright.

Actually, she is quite intelligent.

 

[CinderElsa]

I didn't rewind, but I could have sworn she read it out loud. We were wondering if her brain saw "between 9 and 11" and picked 10.

The clue instructed them to choose "size 9 or 11," and she did read it aloud. I wondered what happened there, but then I saw her Twitter.

Living life2 the fullest!! So blessed 4my 2best friends, my hubby& Benz!

I guess when one regularly murders the English language, it becomes more difficult to parse it.
