The Amazing Race 6...Official Thread

[palmtreegirl]

Wow, I was really enjoying that episode, until the last 5 minutes.

Kendra totally disgusted me, what a racist. My mouth was literally hanging open after the comments she made.

Jonothon and Victora, that was just so disturbing. Ugh and they have a website-http://www.jonathanbakerandvictoriafuller.com/

I put it in slo-mo and I agree with Stacey: he didn't hit her, he hit her backpack. But it was enough for her whole body to lurch to the side. And who's to say that he just didn't miss. I'm sure the producers are talking to him off camera. How could they not? I can't believe what a huge deal they were both making out of being first. I could understand it if they thought they were last (the crying and the running, not the hitting). But, they knew it was first or second. So, they just need to try harder next time to get the free trip which they can afford anyway. I do have to credit Jonathan with a very funny line: "Beautiful city. You gotta have an appreciation for the people that....make Mercedes." Come on that was classic! LOL!!!

Although I will have to say that the funniest line goes to MJ: "Seven inches is really big" I'm sorry that they're eliminated. But, you can tell, they just aren't as fast as the others.

I really hope the next team to go (after Jonathan) is Kendra. What an ugly ugly person. I can't believe what she was saying in front of the cab driver. And right after visiting the slave sight the first thing out of her mouth is "I need a croissant in Paris." I'm not always the most sympathetic person, but I just couldn't imagine the guilt that would consume me just driving through those poverty-stricken areas and the reflection in the slave house. I would not be thinking of Paris.

momsgonwild I wish the producers of the show would disqualify Jonathan! Set up an undercover counselor to become Victoria's new partner in the race. This way she can get a taste of how a real partnership is supposed to work. Hopefully after a while, she will decide to drop that no-good jerk of a husband. If he will act that way towards her in public, on T.V., I hate to even imagine what happens in the privacy of their home.

ITA. I hate to think how Jonathan will act if they come in last. He will totally lose it. Hopefully the producers will be ready to step in then, as it is sure to be an ugly scene.

OMG! I was just sitting there looking at it with my mouth hanging open! Notice how they haven't put an update on since November. Maybe she left him! Or maybe he's just "filming his next movie with 'John'"

OMG he makes me want to puke!!!!

 

[ColoradoBuffaloMom]

Whether Jonathan pushed Victoria or her backpack is irrelevent. Both at awful and I think the AR folks should get involved. Maybe they did but it is off camera.

I still hope Kris and Jon win the race although I'm starting to like Gus and Hera as long as he keeps his shirt on. Poor Gus all he wanted was one beer. Too Funny

 

[capthooksmom]

I thought the fight between Hayden and Aaron and the wrestlers was funny. I also dislike Kendra. She was so rude to talk like that in front of the cab driver. I would have driven into traffic and sat there. I would not have helped her get anywhere!! She and Jonathan don't deserve to win anything.
But... I agree with Beth. Jon's comment about appreciating the people who make Mercedes was hysterical.

 

[MaryJ]

But... I agree with Beth. Jon's comment about appreciating the people who make Mercedes was hysterical.

And how about his comment just before the soap box race..."I drive a Ferrari." Now I see why it was so important that he come in first.....NOT!

Did anyone else catch it when Gus took a drink from the one stien and then left it on a table where some people were sitting? Hope no one at that table was just dying for a beer and couldn't wait for another!

 

[DISshopkeeper]

seriously, if I were Victoria I would just walk...and now, not later. I would just quit the race, quit jon, everything. ugh. what a jerk. I can't believe Phil even tried to step in, as awkward as it was. uh, jon, I think you need to speak to Victoria.

I TOTALLY agree. I wanted her to scream : I QUIT, YOU #*@)$ (insert words of your choice!). Treating her like that on national TV!! He's one sick (gee... thinking of another word I can't use on the DIS!) individual.

 

[ginna74]

I wrote to planet feedback and left feedback on the cbs site! by airing it and not doing anything they are condoning such domestic violence!

 

[LoraJ]

I think they should be disqualified for that type of behavior. I don't care for Victoria, but no one deserves to be treated like that.

i'm sad about the older couple going. They were really enjoying it. Although they could have done better if they were a bit smarter about things.

There was a comment made tonight that no one has mentioned yet - I'm hoping maybe I misuderstood it. Hellboy's ex girlfriend said something to the effect of "Africa is horrible, no wonder so many people escaped". Uh, was she referring to the fact that people were kidnapped from their homes, herded like animals onto boats, and forced into slavery? I was so horrified when I heard it I must have missed something. Please, tell me I got it wrong!

 

[1stNoel]

What the heck has happened to this show? I realize CBS cannot control what contestants say or do. I do feel by showing so much of the bad behavior that CBS has changed this show from a exciting travel race into Jerry Springer hits the road. Unending racial slurs and spousal abuse are not my idea of entertainment.

No you didn't get it wrong. I heard it too.
And don't forget Kendra. What a snob.

 

[epcotfan]

Me too!!!

I was waiting for Phil to either say something or just up and smack him, he looked really irritated with him. I disappointed that he didn't get yelled at.

That is the first time I've seen Phil look really disturbed. It would have been cool to see Phil punch Jon in the stomach.

 

[JPN4265]

Everything that has been said up to this date by everyone is on mark. I agree with most of the post, but I bet, no matter how you feel,you will be checking in next week to see how things turn out. Does the screaming and hitting go on, are inappropriate comments made by some of the teams. Admit it, you are enjoying the show, and you will continue to watch until the race is finished.

 

[chrissyk]

That website is disturbing. Did anyone else notice that nearly ALL of the gallery pictures were of Jonathan? Also, don't you all just love his "sexy" poses?! Yum, yum! NOT!!!

Oh, and "Jon" had a "roll" in John Travolta's upcoming film. I wonder if he put butter on that roll! LMAO!!

 

[mckryan]

Guess what - they updated their webpage today. I won't post the comment here since it includes vulgarity. He's a real class act.

Don't forget how much "fun" Jonathan was having on the race! The experience caused them act in ways that they NEVER do otherwise! Yeah, whatever!!!! People don't change their behavior THAT much for any experience. He is abusive, whichever one of them is typing the "blog" is making excuses for that

 

[Obi-Wan Pinobi]

Just to remind everyone -- this season there are two separate contestants named Jonathan and Jon. Jon, Kris' partner, is cool and actually one of the teams I'd love to see win. Jonathan, Victoria's partner, is the one who many would love to accurately describe but wouldn't make it through the word filter. I keep seeing Jonathan called Jon and just want to make sure the casual viewer doesn't end up hating the wrong person.

To be honest, right now we don't know what TPTB on the show may have done off camera regarding Jonathan's actions. I have a feeling he was talked to earlier, because he actually became likable there for a while. I even told DW Lauri, after he gave Don and MJ some money ($20 even!) that maybe he's not such a bad guy after all. I've also read that just before the race that he was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease of some sort, and maybe the stress of dealing with that plus running the race was getting to him. Yeah, it's early in the race and yeah, it's no excuse, but he was actually seeming halfway decent last week and early this week.

Only thing is, TPTB have no precedence for this or may not have even thought about this possibility. I'm sure they have rules about teams physically fighting with other teams, but probably nothing about this. If they kick him out, they have to kick Victoria out as well, and they probably don't want to punish her. At the very least I'd love to see Jonathan and Victoria given a time penalty.

After this week, though, I hope he's eliminated ASAP. Even if he shows up last at what was predetermined to be a non-elimination leg, I hope the producers decide to eliminate him.

I missed the comment Rebecca (Hellboy's GF) made, but that was probably we were aghast at Kendra's remark. I liked Freddy and Kendra, but thanks to that remark not so much anymore. I'm pulling for Jon & Kris or Hayden & Aaron.

LOL

I wonder if there is a line he can't cross by saying something to one of the contestants....who knows.

I also think that he only missed her when he hit the backpack, im sure he was aiming for her arm or worse, her face.

I'm looking forward to Phils Diary for last nights episode, im sure he will comment on it.
