Ot - The Amazing Race

[Metro West]

Personally I like the mother and deaf son! Kudos to them for coming in first! I got all choked up when Phil signed to them that they were the first team!!

I did too...I think everyone at the Pit Stop was crying eventually.

You have to watch Survivor if you like the amazing race . . .

I really don't care for the voting off aspect of Survivor. You NEVER control your own destiny. In Amazing Race you do.

We LOVE AR and we do not watch Survivor - tried to, but I think that show is just awful. Not interesting to me at all. Maybe if they had Phil it would be more fun!

That was a great show. I love watching the teams get on all those planes, trains, etc etc.

My DH and I love AR, but are always confused by some of the contestants. Most say they are huge fans of the show, but don't seem prepared for just how physically demanding the race is. I don't know about you, but before applying I'd be living in the gym. It keeps some of the better personalities or at least the more fun to watch from making it as far. I'd love to see one of the "older" teams win this time instead of the super fit but not too bright teams.

We've talked about applying in the past, now we'll have to wait for our kids to be old enough to leave behind and to con someone into babysitting.

I havent seen a mom of triplets on the show - that could be your in . . .

No kidding on the clueless people - Im sure they have some formula they use when picking out contestants. Like there must be two teams who are clueless - there must me one physically challenged team - there must be a minimum of one "blonde" team - one older couple - etc.

Finally got to watch this morning. I am loving the start of this season. I could not stop laughing watching the rolling cheese.

We also love to watch the Amazing Race. This season looks like it is going to be a good one. The rolling cheese was the best! I was laughing so hard, my husband was just looking at me like "Are you OK?" I laugh pretty hard when someone is playing polish horseshoes too, not that they are related.
Wouldn't you be sooo scared to bungy jump that close to a cement wall? I know I would!

My wife and I watch the show, and in years past we were part of a fantasy Amazing Race draft where we get to pick teams and see who is left standing at the end. It adds even more excitement when the teams are "your own." Our money is on the brother/sister lawyers.

Haha, I used to do something like this at my work- we used to pick names out of a hat and if the team you pulled got kicked off that week you won the money in the pot, but now I work from home so I guess I win every week . I love this show too and I am glad there seem to be an interesting group of teams this time. I would love to see an older team win too!

New episode tommorrow - has anyone seen a promo for it - I havent been able to catch any TV this week.

The only part I remember from the previews- the couple that called themselves the "Hicks" She gets completely lost by herself. I have not clue how she gets seperated from her husband but she was crying that she is lost on the mountain.

I also love the mother/son team who's deaf. I loved that Phil signed to them at the pit stop. I wonder how long he had to practice his numbers so he would be prepared for whatever place they came in.
