The Amazing Race 6...Official Thread

[StaceyA]

That was hysterical....I was rolling.
I missed the first 10 minutes or so. What was the story with the relay racing?
I was sorry to see Lori and Bolo get eliminated, they were fun to watch.
Kendra's elitist attitude is disgusting.
Kris & Jon seemed thrilled to be first.
Rebecca and Adam need to go next...I was hoping to see them go this week.

Did anyone notice that even Phil seemed Thrilled that Kris and Jon were first?

Im rooting for them as well.

ETA: I also wanted to chime in on Kris and John. I think the reason I love them so much is they see the beauty in everything around them and in each other. I loved when they first got to Sri Lanka and Kris was saying how beautiful it was with the elephants walking on the streets. They never get so caught up in the game that they don't appreciate the amazing experience they're a part of. I also loved the way Kris tried to comfort Bolo at the roadblock. They're a real team, a class act, and I hope they win it all!

ITA...couldn't have said it better!

It was soooo nice to watch the race without J&V! I'm not sure how I feel about Bolo and Lori gone. Couldn't Bolo have done the stairs once Lori came back down for the ticket? She had to be so exhausted. I thought it was really nice of Kris to go over to Bolo and try to comfort him.

I kept watching this episode wondering how many of the people are now gone and how much of what was shown tonight still exists. It would be interesting to hear from the teams what it must have been like to watch that episode last night.

 

[sorcerormickey]

we didn't have to hear Jonathan yell VICTORIAAAAAAAAA once!

Could you imagine how much of that there would have been with the relay race??? UGH! It was so peaceful tho.

So sad Lori and Bolo are gone, I guess my new fave is Kris and John.

"Dey vent avay!!!" "Dey vent avay"

That guy in Sri Lanka was so cute!!!

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

Someone needs to smack Adam or give him a time out.

I love that line about a time out for Adam!

I love Jon and Kris, they are awesome! I hope they do well. I can't stand any of the other teams. Hayden is whinny and nasty, Kendra is so stuck up, and Adam is just too much of a goof and has some serious issues.

I too was watching last night, so sad, wondering if the parts they visited were wiped out by the tsunami, and just sad in general that such a beautiful place was destroyed in seconds with so many lives lost. So very sad. I can't even imagine the shock the players felt when they heard of the devastation.

Does anyone remember on I think TAR3 the couple from New York? The girl had applied to be on the show with her brother but he was killed in 911 (I think he was a firefighter) so she ended up going on with her boyfriend who was also her brother's best friend. They were such a great couple. Kris & Jon remind me of them. I hope they win!

That was John Vito and Jill...I really loved them! Chris and Jon are just as nice to each other as they were. I'd LOVE to see Chris and Jon win

I was sad to see Lori and Bolo go. I was SO sure that last night was going to be a non-elimination round. L+B might have been really obnoxious to each other, but it was pretty obvious that they loved each other. Besides, they were entertaining.

 

[Disney1fan2002]

I think Kris is adorable! She is so cute, and nice to boot!

Did you see her go over and comfort Bolo when Lori had to run back up the stairs?. That was so nice of her.

I was sad to see Lori and Bolo go. Adam and Rebecca deserved to be last. He is such a wuss-boy, I can't beleive how far they have made it in the race. I do agree, Rebecca is unstoppable. She dives into everything, no fear, what-so-ever. Imagine if she had a partner that contributed, instead of wussing out, or screwing up! What was with all the kissy face last night?

My fave team is Kris/Jon and I guess I would have to root for Freddy/Kendra for 2nd. I cannot stand Hayden, she is such a B!

No because this was the task that only one could perform (can't think of the exact name...not detour....sheesh guess im not awake yet)
So if he did it for her im sure they would have been penalized.

Kendra is so stuck up,

Kendra??? Ugh! I can not stand her at all.

KKKendra is back tho! She really needs to watch what she says. Geesh!

Kendra's elitist attitude is disgusting.

Am I the only one sympathizing with Kendra...she had a horrible stomach problem. It probably was the food that made her so sick since noone else was sick. She enjoyed riding the elephant--and it was evident as the show progressed that she was feeling better b/c her mood was improving. Did you forget last weeks show where she was appreciative of all those kids???

I participated in the Disney Marathon a few weeks ago with that nasty stomach bug. My choice, I know--but I had my reason With little to no sleep and little to no food in the system I did it but it was hard and I felt terrible at times. I give accolades to Kendra for pressing on--b/c it is so easy when you feel that icky to just sit it out. As far as the smell on the trains--I don't find her response elitist at all...plenty of other participants on other shows have gotten on trains that smelled less than rosey and reacted that way when they were not sick.

I'm not elitist--but I am smell sensitive, especially when sick...and if it stinks--I try not to say anything...but I am sure my facial expression would be worth millions in what it was communicating about how I felt. I was plugging my nose the last mile of the marathon b/c the smells from all the restaurants there were just literally turning my stomach and I was going to toss my cookies at any moment--another kodak moment for my facial expression--especially with me plugging my nose and covering my mouth. It was that way when I had morning sickness as well.

I guess unless you have been falling down sick and pushing your body to do things b/c you have to do them--you cannot look past the Kendra stereotype and see that she was responding EXACTLY as anybody would under the condition of puking your guts out for a few hours in a row. At that point, I am sure she could care less of what the cameras picked up--except that she only wanted to get sick in the bathrooms and I as a viewer thank her for that

roadblock

Thank you! LOL

Am I the only one sympathizing with Kendra...she had a horrible stomach problem.

I didnt see the first part of the show, so I had no clue she was sick.
However, her attitude is in almost every episode, she just seems to look down on anyone and anything not as 'perfect' as her. Sure she had a moment last week when she made comments about the kids, but she still comes off bad to me.

I actually didn't have a problem with Kendra last night. I thought she was pretty good last week too. And I did feel bad for her. Ethiopian food is wretched. I've eaten it here in the States, not in Ethiopia where the food safety standards are not like ours.

I know she made some horrible comments before, but she has been getting better. And really I don't fault her for having some of her feelings. I fault her for speaking them in the presence of the locals. Last week she was very nice to the local children and I thinked that helped with change her whole mindset, somewhat. She's still not my favorite, but I don't despise her anymore.

Sure the one time they go swiming and Hayden is wearing a bra

I agree, though she is not my favorite, I will take her over Hayden anyday!

Hayden is just a mean, horrible B! How Aaron put up withe her is beyond me!

I can't figure out Adam and Rebecca. She has told him numerous times she didn't want to be his girlfriend anymore. But I think she wants to win the race so she is doing everything she can to pacify him. But on the train he was so in her face-she kept telling him to back off and move over. Something must of changed on the train ride, cause then they kept showing them kissing for the rest of the show.

In the beginning of the show, they had Bolo saying, "we have to read the clues very carefully so we don't miss anything." Then they showed them not running but reading it over. I knew right then that was a clue and they would be eliminated. Boo! They always played so strong, I was hoping they would win. I would like Adam and Rebecca to win for Rebecca's sake. Then she can boot Adam's butt back home to his mom.

They became kissy face because cry-baby Adam came close to going home when they missed the train. Rebecca said she wanted to stay in the race, so if it meant she had to "pretend" to be his girlfriend, she would do it. I was just surprised at how much kissy face they were doing!

I didn't care for Lori & Bolo at first but liked them towards the end and it was too bad they had to end the race with Lori being mad at him.

I hope the other teams don't notice how strong Kris & Jon are and try to sabatoge them! They are awesome!

I bet it felt so good to dive in that pool and cool off!! What an interesting way to get to Phil.

 

[QuiltTeddy]

I'm sorry to see Lori/Bolo go too. I thought they brought a lot to the race. While Chris/Jon are my favorites who I hope win, I would have liked to see Lori/Bolo go to the end.

 

[elliemae1192]

That was John Vito and Jill...I really loved them! Chris and Jon are just as nice to each other as they were. I'd LOVE to see Chris and Jon win

John Vito & Jill! That's them, can't believe I forgot their names. I almost cried when they got eliminated. Kris & Jon are the same way, so loving and RESPECTFUL of each other. I think that's the key. Even if they don't win the race you can see them spending a long happy life together. Makes you all warm & fuzzy inside.

If it can't be Kris & Jon, I hope it's Adam & Rebecca. She has really worked her heart out to get this far in the race and she's had to carry wussy boy's weight as well. Kindof like Zach & Flo. You really HATED to see Flo win but it was worth it because you just had to love Zach.
