The Amazing Race 6...Official Thread

[robinb]

I think that athletic, fresh-faced Kris is better looking than scrawny, bulimic, barf at the drop of a hat so-called model Kendra. I just had an evil thought. Wouldn't it be a hoot if Kris got a lucrative contract modeling and Kendra got fat allowing Freddy to "have her babies"? Man, I hated her. I wanted just about anyone else to win the whole darn show.

So sad Kris & Jon didn't win. At least they won a few nice trips. Does anyone know who came in 1st the most during the race? Jimbo?

I must remember to watch The Early Show tomorrow morning.

Can't wait for AR7!!!!

The CBS website has the Leaderboard that shows how each leg ended up. It looks like Kris and John and Aaron and Hayden each had four firsts, counting tonight.

 

[Jimbo]

I thought that was a terrific show tonight, even though my fave team didn't win. I also can't figure out why Kris and John left Michigan Avenue to look for a taxi. That's practically cab city. Whoever said they edited something out is probably right, I think.

I was so glad to see Hayden go. Except had her team survived the first leg she would have had to skydive, and it would have been worth keeping them around just to see that. I think only dogs would have been able to hear her screams.

I've had a couple of pizzas at Geno's East, and I bought two shirts at Hilo Hattie's, so it was pretty cool to see that stuff.

I really can't figure out where they were looking for a cab. I think there was some creative editing also.

 

[Beth76]

Yeah, you all are right. Where they caught the cabs is no where near the water tower. Water tower is right on Michigan very close to Hancock. It's all skycrapers there. It looks like they were South or East of the Sears Tower and pretty far too.

I almost ate at that Restaurant before. We were there and for some reason we ended up going to another restaurant. I can't possibly remember why.

What time will they be on?

 

[deadheadbelle]

Freddy & Kendra were just on, the final 4 teams are supposed to be on sometime in the next hour.

 

[deadheadbelle]

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! They just cut hellboy's horns off! Too funny.

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Yeahh---the horns are gone.."here's a little souvenier from the Amazing Race"



(they cut Adam's "antennae" on CBS This morning).

 

[Twigs]

I just saw that too, too funny

Were they interviewed and did she "redeem" herself over her commentary?

I think the exact quote was "He is worthy enough to have my babies"

Oh Freddy. you are in for a rude awakening, my boy. Have a terrific life with this self-centered -------.

 

[deadheadbelle]

She said something about how what we saw wasn't really everything that happened & that poverty is really just so heartbreaking to her. The best was Freddy. The host said "come on, Hera was hit much harder than you". LOL! Freddy said "oh no, I had a piece of skin hanging from my forhead".

Remember sweetheart Elisabeth from Survivor Africa? She was adorable, and so nice to everyone. She is the only Survivor who went past her 15 minutes, and actually has a career in show biz. I think Kris is absolutely adorable and she has such a sweet nature, AND she has a sense of humor. I think she may have some doors open for her, if show biz is her thing. Wouldn't it be funny if regular Joe's Kris and Jon make it big in Hollywood, over the so-called models/actors!

Now, for those of you not happy about Ramber being on AR7, say what you will, but based on the previews, they are going to add alot of comedy to the show! "HOLY CANOLOI!!!"

 

[jacksonsmom]

I just knew Freddy & Kendra would win! UGH!!!!!!

What the heck Freddy is worthy to have HER children! Who made her a princess????
What would have happen if they lost? He would not have been worthy?? Gawd, she drives me nuts!
And what the heck she was gagging the pizza down? It was two pieces of pizza!!! I wish they had to eat the whole pizza. She would not have been able to do it.

In my book Kris & Jon are the TRUE champions. They played the game with grace & with good sportsmenship along the way.
I felt so bad for them when they got stuck behind the train. But they took it like true champions. They knew they were defeated. I would bet my last dollar if that were Kendra & Freddy, Kendra would have been throwing a tantrum at the train, probably even demand to Freddy to stop the train!

Kris & Jon just had bad luck. At least they won some nice trips.

 

[puffkin]

I was really rooting for Kris and John too. But Freddy and Kendra were the lesser of the other evils. She was very ignorant, but at least she was somewhat nice to the other teams. And except for the gate incident, Freddy wasn't too bad either. Now Hayden and Aaron on the other hand...

I think the line about Adam being afraid of everything was hilarious
I can't believe they said that.

Even though Kris and John didn't win, I think they took the most away from the experience, not only with seeing the world, but also about their relationship. Plus, they do win a decent amount of money and they won 4 great trips.

Next season looks pretty good. I thought the preview showed some interesting teams, not to mention Amber and Rob. I wish they would do an All Stars Amazing race soon. They have quite a few memorable teams that they could bring back!

I agree that there was some odd editing after Water Tower - I can look at Water tower right now and my office was in the background last night - after they got there clue, I have no idea where they were at looking for a cab - and from Water Tower to Gino's is a 1 minute cab ride with no traffic.

There was some time discrepancy too - when Kris and Jon were entering Ginos and F/K were leaving - you have to figure that's at least 10 minutes difference - I could eat 1/2 a medium at Ginos, rushing, in 3-5 minutes so they were at least 10-15 minutes behind, looking for the park - I don't think the train would have mattered - and hearing the train horn in background may not have been the same train - alot of trains run in that area. Did the clue say they had to take the "el" to Water Tower from O'Hare - a cab on Sunday morning would have been much quicker. The blue line to downtown, switch to the red line (probably a wait), and then exit at Chicago avenue and dash 3 blocks east to Water tower.

I did say to my son last night - you don't ever want to marry a woman who whines like some of these women and don't ever act like "nancy boy".

What do they win for second place? I always wondered?

 

[chrismiss56]

Really wanted Jon and Kris to win!! Does anyone know what they are doing currently? Are they still dating long distance? What a class act!!

 

[stinkerbelle]

Are you kidding me!? Aaron proposed to Hayden! Wow, I thought for sure he'd be dumping her ASAP. I know I would've if I were him! LOL

I couldn't believe he did that...
but I would have paid money to see him launch his backpack (or Hayden) off Mt Hua.

ok...that was mean of me...
