Official Amazing Race 25th No Spoilers

Bumping for tonight...Morocco!

I missed Robin's meals. Have you been doing that this season?

Aw ... thanks for thinking of me! We're still getting used to the Friday thing so we have done only a couple dinners.

We have a friend who lived in Morocco and owned a camel trekking business. Sadly, he died a couple of years ago from a heart attack . Tonight was a toast to our friend Jeffry.

Dinner tonight was tangine chicken with almonds and apricots, beef & lamb kefta, green beans (not really Moroccan, but we needed veggies and color balance) and couscous.

I am disappointed to see that the AR asn't learned yet where to place u-turns. What was the point of having it on the way to. Pit stop and (possible worse) overlooking the challenge where all teams could see who was still behind them. I really didn't like or dislike the team that went home, but I do think that there should be at least a small chance that the u-turned team could turn it round and not be "automatically" the eliminated team. This happened to the cowboys twice and drives m crazy with the race!

I also found the Phil pop up to tell us the dentists were 12 minutes behind weird.

The mother/daughter team now gets on my nerves even more than the dentists. And in fairness, it's mainly the Steroid Blinding White Teeth We Are The Superior Genetic Species husband that I dislike.

The mom/daughter team used their emotions instead of their brains on that U-turn. The dentists have a huge advantage over EVERYONE at this point because of the save. Do the teams not realize that? It makes sense to me to force the dentists to use that save so that they are on even footing (not superior) to all the other teams. Yet NO ONE u-turned them, and the idiot mom/daughter team used it for spite. I hope they are gone next. I am so tired of their crying and squabbling. At least the dentists don't tear each other apart.

I'm not sure that U-turning the dentists would have put them last. The team that went home was so far behind the dentists might still have beat them. Not that the Mom and daughter knew that.

I've tried watching this the last few weeks on a Friday and I just don't like it. So I am back to Sundays, with the advantage being that I don't have to worry about Football overruns. The show is sitting there in entirety on my DVR ready to go whenever I am ready for it

I am so ready for Mother/Daughter to go. They are way too emotional for the game. Even if they didn't know for sure where the dentists were, they should have tried the Uturn on them to at least flush out the Save pass.

I find the dentists, especially Jim, to be very passive aggressive. That is almost worse than the teams that are constantly yelling and carrying on. At least they wear all their emotions on their sleeves. He is like a ticking time bomb. She is getting ditzier and ditzier as the race goes on. I think the stress is just bringing out the worst.

I really like the biker girls (didn't at first, but they have grown on me) and the surfers. I usually am fairly indifferent to the "inspirational" contestants (except Luke, didn't like him at all) but Bethany is just amazing and makes no excuses. I'll be sad if they don't make it to the end.

They showed an elapsed time of 2+ hours the second time they did the dance and drumming task.

I agree with you.

 

[nikkistevej]

I liked Keith and Whitney, sad to see them go. I really liked the mother/daughter team in the beginning, but now not so much. Anyone else think the wrestlers are hilarious???? They are growing on me.

His eyes are just freaking the crap out of us!! Is it just me or does he look like this most of the time:

Yep, I can't believe no one uturned them. No matter if you don't know how far behind you they are, you have to do what you can to get that Save out of play for the rest of the game.

That's part of the steroid look. Not to mention those bulging veins in his head.

I just binge watched the last four episodes (including last night) and caught up. Had fallen behind while on vacation. Glad to see the mother/daughter go. The mother was just a nasty person. I really like the bike girls from Brooklyn. They really seem to be enjoying them selves while also being tough competitors. And Bethany is a beast. I'm betting those two couples will be there at the end and I would be happy with either winning.

The dentist can go. It's too bad they got saved by the non-elimination round, especially after he shot off his mouth about how they were going to dominate the competition.

 

[Yzerbear19]

I was happy with the result from last night's episode. The mother/daughter team should have stopped sooner to get directions.

I LOVE Bethany! She was amazing during that roadblock task. She didn't whine or complain about putting the puzzle together the way others did. I love how resourceful she is and looks for a solution without whining about it. She is such an inspiration. I'm really hoping that her husband and her will make it to the finale.

The dentists could go. They are really annoying, which means they will probably win. It seems that the teams that always bug me the most seem to win.

It's definitely not just you those eyes freak me out too! I'd love to seem them go next but with the save I don't seem them going soon Was happy to the see the mom/daughter team go home they were awful to each other and if their relationship is better now I'd hate to see how it was before

I can't recall from the first episode, but do they have to use the save by a certain leg in the race like the express pass?

Episode 9, whenever that is. I think.

 

[jen73]

I am loving the bike girls!! They seem to really work well together and are level headed and for the most part, calm.

And who doesn't love Bethany and her "figure out how to make it work" attitude. Her husband is a little strange but they seem to fit well together.

Yes! Dentist's eyes are so weird, doesn't help with the super fake spray on tan to make the white of his eyes Whiter...lol

I am definitely enjoying this season

 

[anniemae]

The lady dentist always wears a big hair bow. Reminds me of the 80's! I like her attitude though.

I like Bethanny a lot too, I hope they go far.

 

[esk]

I could NOT BELIEVE that Bethany did that roadblock with one arm....I've done a ropes course (like 2 stories high, not in a mountain range) and it was hard with 2 arms to balance on the wires, I just can't imagine how she did it with one, and switching the caribeners without holding on?

I like the bike girls, they are a strong team.

Can't stand the dentists. The eyes are weird and the fake tan, the bulked up muscles, I'd be freaked out if he were my dentist with those eyes. They remind me of the couple a few seasons ago who had the Express pass and didn't use it, with the surfboard challenge....that couple was so cocky about how they were going to dominate, etc, and got sent home, with an Express Pass in their possession!

I actually think it was a smart choice for Betheny to do the ropes course. She surfs (even after the injury) at a professional level so I am sure she has amazing balance. It also seemed like they were used to doing those types of things, which is why it didn't seem to phase either one of them for her to do the challenge.

I find the wrestlers HYSTERICAL. I hope the final 3 are the Dentists (don't like them, but they are good), Cyclists and Surfers. But I wouldn't mind the wrestlers sticking around just for the comic relief.

Yes, the wrestlers make us crack up, they are too funny!!!!!!
