Amazing Race, Family Edition. *Official DiscussionThread*

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Well, I did not like them or dislike them until last night. Yes, the "cute" kids annoyed me, but I didn't let it get to me.

Well, that changed last night. When they were searching the mobile homes for the time tickets. The little girls says something like " I don't like these trailers, they're gross" or something like that.

Now, I think she is a snotty little brat.

You're going to hold that against a NINE year old..but not the comment another girl...an ADULT (though a young one) made about the state of Alabama???

 

[puffkin]

Wow, you guys are tough!

I think a lot of people are forgetting that a lot of the team members are children or teenagers that are in a very exhausting, stressful situation. And here you are, nitpicking over every little thing they say/do....I guess a lot of people forget what it is like to be a teen...............not excusing anyones behavior, but you can kind of see where some of it is coming from.

Also, lets not forget the "evils" of editing. We will never get to see the whole picture of what is going on, there is no way. We see what the producers CHOOSE for us to see.....

I liked the sisters until last night when the one woman started crying like a baby because she wanted to bring her backpack. Give me a break.

She said on camera that crying was her "release" when she got to a breaking point. I'm sure it was from exhaustion/frustration and not becuase she couldn't bring her backpack.

Thanks to traits from my mother I cry when I laugh, when I'm happy, sad, very angry, frustrated....just happens can't help it.

If she has a problem and she can't control herself in regards to crying then she shouldn't have yelled at her sisters for making her cry, it wasn't their fault. Who wants to walk on eggshells around someone like that all the time? I didn't feel bad for her and they're not one of my favorite teams now.

 

[disykat]

My thought on the Alabama comment - I sort of assumed they edited out the rest of her comment. When she said "When I think of Alabama I think ugly" and they showed a pretty landscape, I figured she was going to say "but this is so pretty." Maybe I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt, but it seems to me she was commenting that her preconceived notions were wrong.

I'm so glad you bumped! With us having a "hurricane day" yesterday, I'm having a Monday/Tuesday and would have forgotten. Thanks!

 

[ladycollector]

I almost forgot too; thanks!!

 

[padisneyfan]

Thanks for the reminder. I'm so tired that if this isn't an interesting episode, I will probably sleep through it.

I also agree! Would anyone be offended if they were to bleep out the profanity? After all, this is the FAMILY edition of The Amazing Race!

Not every family in America uses language like that, and don't really appreciate hearing it.

 

[TiggerPiglet]

Well, I was happy to see they finally got out of the U.S. Some of the teams seemed to be happy about that too.

 

[noseybuddy]

Well, I just can't stand the Weaver family. They had the nerve to call other families rude? I hope they go next.
