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

[Jillpie]

I was sickened last night, every time Rachel was apologizing for missing the boot size. Last time I checked, it takes two to read the directions? How or why was Brendan allowing her to take all the blame for that?? And this baby thing, is absurd , I pray they don't have a baby based on winning a game, seriously? So ridiculously unhealthy.

I really don't care which team wins with the Afganimals out. I think it will be ironic if it's the Country Singers. It might be a fitting end that the worst of the "All Star" teams ends up winning .

As Dave likes to point out, if he and Connor win, HE will be the oldest person to win the AR and they will be the first father/son team to win. If the Country Singers win, they will be the first team to "accidently" win.

Oldest *and* youngest .

He seems to be more preoccupied with him being the oldest. I did not know that Connor would be the youngest.

How come Connor is doing ALL of the challenges? For at least the past 4 weeks, Connor has done them. This may have already been discussed on this thread or on the show itself, but I thought they had to have an even amount split between the 2 team members, no? Speaking of Connor . . . shaking my head at his soccer ball kicking abilities.

There was no excuse for Rachel misreading that clue. In the interview last night, they said they walked away with knowing that they have to really read the clue. Wow, I could've sworn I heard them say that same exact thing the last time that happened.

I don't want Dave and Connor to win. Even though Connor doesn't bother me as much as Dave, they just rub me the wrong way. If I have to hear Connor say "holy crap" one more time . . . or Dave saying "ruptured achilles" -- good grief!

The girls absolutely don't deserve to win, but hats off to them for a good leg last night. I guess I'll be rooting for Brendan/Rachel, but I really wish the cowboys were still in it.

Dave has done 4 and Conner 7.

Starr was 21 on season 13. Conner is 22.

Starr was 21 on season 13. Conner is 22.

*Gasp* Then Dave and Conner are wrong?

If my DH had held the carrot of "I'll let you have a baby if we win the million," I'd have to ask what kind of a.....donkey......I was married to.

This. I really hope that is just a joke. Her saying "If we win the million, I get to have a baby" leads me to believe he doesn't really want kids right now & he figures they won't win anyway.

Now that the Afghanimals are out, I really don't care who wins. It was nice to finally watch a leg where the teams weren't helping each other out though.

 

[NAB]

You're kidding right?? Maybe it's just me but I would call $500,000 a big chunk of money but maybe some people think it is ONLY pocket change.

Not pocket change but really $500,000 doesn't go that far these days, buy a nice house in some places a few cars give some to family....it is gone. Don't forget they have to pay big taxes on that too. Brendon is still in school so he would have mega bills for that too. To others it is a salary for a few years but once you have a big chunk I bet you buy things you wouldn't if you got it slowly like a pay check.

I am still cheering them to the finish. But I am thinking Dave and Connor are going to take it since they have come in first the last few legs. Really don't want the girls to win. Yes they had a good leg but really they should have been gone a long time ago.

If I was racing I would be still trying to say that poem they did last night...

Now that you mention it, it might be fitting for the worst team to win the worst amazing race ever.

Maybe he was in shock that she took the blame for something.

I can't believe the girls are in the finals. I bet all of the other teams are kicking themselves for helping the girls along the way. They are the most undeserving finalist of any reality show I have ever watched. When they were doing the soccer challenge all they kept saying was the goalie was "so mean" really how ridiculous. I think it worked because it didn't look like he was trying very hard to make the save. I'm rooting for Rachel & Brendan, I don't like Conner and Dave and definately don't think the girls should have been in the final.

 

[mrsksomeday]

That depends on how you measure intelligence.

Well people seem to be measuring intelligence based on how a reality show is edited, so why can't people measure it by an actual college degree?

I can't stand the country girls. I hope they don't win. Out of the three teams, I guess I am rooting for Conner and Dave. Not my favorite team, but out of these three.........

I would be rooting for Brendan and Rachel, but something about last night didn't set right with me. The way she kept saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I'm so sorry!" Brendan was being fine just saying "come on, lets just look forward and move on." But the way she was falling apart was annoying to me, they both could have looked at the clue, but she was taking all the blame, and he was letting her take it instead of saying, "we both missed that" or "I didn't catch that part either."

To be fair, those keepers didn't try very hard for any of the teams. That had to be the worst challenge ever.

I think some of it with Brenden & Rachel last night was that he's learned how to deal with her break-downs. On the first season, she had a break-down like that every leg. And he gave into it every time. This time, he more or less powered through it. Probably because he knew it wasn't going to help if he didn't just keep going.

Well, I hope Rachel and Brendan win, BUT thinking they won't, just because I like them. I used to like Dave and Connor, don't care for them too much now, BUT would much rather them win than the country singers!!! Ugh!!! They are ridiculous!!! I think the show needs to change the rules of helping other teams after this season,they would have been gone long ago, if not for all the help they have received!

My vote is for Brendan & Rachael too. I wonder why most of us don't like Dave & Conner? I know a lot has to do with what & how the directors show the players. They seem so rude this season.

I agree!!! I loved dave and connor on their season, but maybe it was because they weren't on there long enough to show their true colors.

 

[plutotek]

I'm hoping that either the girls or Dave/Connor win. Brenchel is still a combination of a whiny little twit and a passive/aggressive eunuch.
