The Amazing Race 7...official Thread

[kimber79]

The official description indicates they will run two legs, so the first hour will be one and the second hour will be another. I would bet one of them will be non-elimination -- probably the first.

I thought last week would be a non-elimination.........my guess would also be for the first round this week to be the non-elim!

I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!

Tonight's episode look's to be very interesting........with the brother's crashing, and Gretchen getting hurt. One preview showed her with a very bloody head ~ and other preview show one of the brother's laying on the ground when the vehicle rolls over. With the two possible injuries.........maybe those teams will be unable to continue, and noone will truly be eliminated by coming in last place??? We will know very very soon......

What the heck did Meredith and Gretchen think they were suppose to do in that cave? I can't believe they came up WITHOUT the clue!

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

Wow, I can't believe Meredith and Gretchen had to give up EVERYTHING!!! That is going to be tough. I wonder why it is a 2 hour special today? Is it so dramatic?

 

[lowkat]

Question? I thought teams could not ride first class on planes. Didn't Ray and Deanna go first class during the first segment?

 

[bengalbelle]

Did I miss something? Didn't Ray say he and Deana were in first class on the flight to South Africa? I thought first class was against the rules.

They can't pay for first class tickets, they got bumped up for free so that's OK.

I thought so, too. Ray is such a jerk. Why is he so mean to Gretchen and Meredith? It's not like they pose a really big threat. I think they are in it for the fun factor. She always gets that excited look on her face when she finds out the next new place they are going to.

Thanks, I saw them talking to the flight attendants, but didn't see how they ended up in first class.

I just missed about 10 minutes of the show!! How did Meredith and Gretchen pay for the airline tickets?

 

[Barb]

I got the impression they got bumped too. Must be nice. I can't believe they took everything from Meredith and Gretchen either!!! That's really slimey! How nice that some of the teams helped them out. What goes around comes around.

Airline tickets are all paid for by the show, they don't need money to buy them.

 

[MsLeFever]

I can't believe that Rob says that "he's done bein' nice" when he stole a cab and didn't give Meredith and Gretchen any money. Shoot - play the game however you want but don't then complain if someone else doesn't want to share their cab!

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

For the record--my hubby wouldn't have stopped either. It is a game.

I do feel bad for the camera man

ETA: He might have stopped if I yelled enough.

 

[MsLeFever]

I would have stopped. I've got EMT training and that would supercede the game.

 

[Barb]

All they had to do was slow down and make sure the guys were ok. That's what most of the other teams did. Was that a bit of slam from Phil, when he asked them if they stopped?

 

[mtemm]

yep, I think Phil was pretty upset at them.

I will say that it wasn't like the brothers were out there stranded all alone so not so sure it was that bad to keep going. granted I probably would have slowed down like the other teams, or even stopped if noone else had (lynn and bf were there when some drove past).

I feel so bad for the cameraman.

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

I think it was inappropriate of Phil.

It is a game--and had their been a rule of assistance--then the chastise and perhaps a penalty would have been in order.


The bro's deserved to make it!!!!! Good for them!!!


ETA: And Phil didn't say anything about the brothers being jubilant for making it--but did seem awkward when they didn't ask about the cameraman.

 

[wvjules]

I wouldn't have stopped but I would have slowed down to see if they were alright.

Yay, Ray and Deana are gone!

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Go beauty queen!!!! (only b/c I saw his behavior waaaayyy before that preview as being derogatory towards her.)

 

[mtemm]

woo-hooo!!!! I don't think I've ever cheered so hard as I did during that footrace...phew!
