The Amazing Race 6...Official Thread

[jacksonsmom]

Don't have a favorite yet.....just too soon

BUT I can tell you the sooner Jonathan & Victoria get booted off...the happier I will be
Right from the get go I didn't like Jonathan. I told DH when at the beginning something rubbed me the wrong way about Jonathan, as the show went on, I could see why!!! He is a JERK! I think I would rather have COLIN back then see Jonathan every week!!!!!

Adam & Rebecca quickly got on my nerves too!

 

[Beanie]

I also loved last nights show!! The wrestlers did get on my nerves though! What a pair they make!

Victoria and Jonathan are different, that's for sure! I hope they are eliminated next or they are going to get old fast! What a jerk he is!

The Dad on the dad/daughter team needs to keep his pants pulled up and what was up with him bathing in the snow? LOL

It should definitely be an interesting season!! I love the show already and to see Iceland was just incredible!!

Yellow shirt = :space:

Do you think that could be a detour exclusively for him?
Can you say emotional abuse? How about our first divorce on AR?

I was sorry to see the boys leave--had they just not gone into the Blue Lagoon and kept driving around. Oh well.

I love wrestler lady's accent--she just cracks me up--now if only she would tone down the abuse.

As far as Colin--I liked him better post race when he proposed on CBS This morning--very sweet. Of course the usual claims of "it was just the editing" were made .

Love the mormon girls!!!

Now since everyone picked up the tips on borrowing cell phones and checking flights--did they miss the episode where 3 maybe 4 cars broke down for using the wrong gas??? I'd have it tattooed on my hand--"check for Diesel labels".

 

[orvilleair]

Add me to the camp about Jonathan. I'm already rooting against him.

The wrestling couple intrigues me for now. I'm tired of the fast driving. You'd think the show would put a stop to this. The setting in Iceland was beautiful.

 

[Luckymommyx2]

Loved last night's episode but some of the verbal abuse could be turned down some. I think it's safe to say the Dis'ers are anit-Jonathan. Did anyone see him at the beginning driving his Ferrari or Lamborghini? It seems like he doesn't exactly need the money which is just another reason for him to get the boot. Could we please see a strong, intelligent woman stand up to scum like him? UGH!

I still like my earlier pick of the grandparents. The only thing that concerns me is I think they become a little to lax and need more of a sense of urgency. They did pick it up a little from the ice wall on though.

I like the sisters from Utah and the couple that came in first seemed okay. There are just a few that look like they are about to blow! I would rather the producers pick more people that actual get along because it seems like they are adding more and more contestants that will make for more interesting viewing. I want more race and less relationship drama!!!

Can't wait until next week!!

Sorry to see them go so soon. I would have liked to have seen the kosher angle play out more, especially what would happen if there was a food challenge.

Why, why, why do people opt out for the slower search detour? It never fails that always slows people down. And the ice climbing didn't look too hard.

That guy in the yellow, Jonathan, is a total jerk. And he ought to cut down on the sugar and caffeine a bit.

I don't recall who said "it's about the journey, not the destination", but that made them one of my favorites right away. Reminded me of Chip's and Kim's attitudes about being a part of AR.

One thing I have to say about this show, the editing was so much better. You really didn't know until the last minute who was trailing. Unlike AR5's ending, they managed to keep the excitement and mystery level way up there.

That was one of the Brooklyn guys, he said it because they took some back roads to get to the pit stop and I think they were nervous they wouldn't make it on time.

This show was a great as all the other AR. I agree with everyone regarding Jonathan. He's got to go. I could also do without Bolo and "hellboy" (I forgot his real name.) I liked the two sisters and Hayden and her partner. I was so happy to see the grandparents make it at least for another day.

Did they say anything about the Yield last night? I hope they get rid of that wrinkle. It just seems to serve no purpose.

How will I wait a whole week till next Tuesday!

This is my first season watching AR. Not really sure why I've never watched before, but I'm kicking my butt for missing the first 5 seasons! What a great show.

Jonathan is a total jerk & needs to GO! And, what's up w/ his wife - a few too many facelifts, perhaps? Her face looks weird.

I liked the couple who came in first last night.

The wrestlers cracked me up!

 

[Kirby]

I love AR but I think that all the yelling and verbal abuse is going to get old fast.

After last night, I hope the wrestling team doesn't add children into the mix one day if that's the normal way they talk to each other at home.

Did it seem that most of the teams came from the same general areas? I heard California quite a bit last night.

 

[sorcerormickey]

I thought the same thing too!

I can't believe that there would ever be a person worse than Colin on this show. But there is. Jonathan is HORRIBLE. And any time she gives him the same type of attitude he gets all whiney and defensive. bleh! Ugh! bleh!'

I like the older couple and the father and daughter team. I also like the people who were in first place. They had a very possitive attitude.

Edited to add:

Jonathan owns a day spa and is a writer/director. His wife is a playboy playmate. He's rich, she's naked. It all makes sense now.

I was going to say the same thing about Jonathan when I read the post above yours. Give me Colin any day over Jonathan. He is such a fool, and totally obnonxious.

I liked Hayden and Aaron and Lena and Kristy. They kept their cool and played nice with each other.

I liked Meredith and Maria too, but they better get it together and stop trusting other teams.

Whoops, sorry. I thought they said the Bronx.

What does your crack about the south mean???? Do you mean a little ole hick like me couldn't possibly know the difference???

 

[shamrock bunch]

Yellow Jacket Man Has To Go!!!! How annoying was he (and his hair!).

Not sure of which team i like the best yet. still trying to learn everyone's name.

I'm surprised the wrestling couple always seemed like they were out of breath.

 

[Chattyaholic]

:thewave: I am SO HAPPY to see AARON & HAYDEN in 1st place!! :thewave:

He is actually from my town, so DH and I started rooting for them right away. I didn't think it was right that he motioned for the girls to follow them, and intentionally lead them astray, but if he doesn't do anything else bad I'll forgive him.

DH talked to the girls in Aaron's Dad's office yesterday, and Aaron's parents flew out to Los Angeles for a big party for the kick-off of the show.

I'm really hoping Aaron and Hayden go far in the game!!!

 

[shep]

This is the first time i watched it...
I couldn't believe how many times i heard the word a--...I guess its okay to say on TV & all....SO much bickering....

I'm hooked....

 

[gometros]

I'm not ready to make any quick judgements on the wrestlers yet. Pro wrestlers are so used to putting on a "show", I'm willing to cut them some slack. Besides, they might prove to be entertaining. Hopefully Jonathan will piss off one of them and they'll teach him the pile driver move first hand.

 

[Alice28]

Chiming in here---Jonathan was such a jerk face, it almost seemed like a joke. I was squirming in my seat watching him freak out all the time---don't like him at ALL.

I too liked the boys...too bad they got the boot so early. I also like the sisters, the couple that came in first, and there's another "Handsome" couple---the woman has blonde hair and was wearing a blue jacker- they seem okay. As do the father/daughter team (her eyes are so gorgeous) and the grandparents. Don't really care for hellboy and girlfriend, and the wrestlers are okay...she's gotta stop the screeching though, but so far he's ok in my book. I was cracking up when they were slamming each other after they got to the tents.

I couldn't agree more!
