~ The Amazing Race ~ Season 16 ~

[kathmzh]

I love the Cowboys! I like how their cowboy hats never fall off, even while bungee-jumping....and I love how the show plays Indiana Jones-superhero music whenever they come on...I love how they say "good gravy"....I could go on!

 

[travelbug24]

Why don't people like the Cowboys? They've been nothing but kind and respectful to each other, the locals, and other teamplayers?

and they are so calm. No drama


Steve and Allie too...duct tape who else would have thought to bring duct tape?

Cowboys need to comeback to the top, get carol and brandy out. Cops, cowboys, Daddy and daughter.
The brothers are funny too.

obviously not picking the right numbers LOL

wait - i haven't checked my tickets yet - hey i've i'm not here tomorrow i won and i'm on my way to WDW

Nah, someone here in London won. I'm so thrilled for her, since she works at the No Frills that is DH's favourite (not mine). I didn't have ONE number right. Darn!

I like J & J & I'll miss them. They were good sports about it all. They'll have fun at the Elimination Station!

I agree with this! I think that they will have a blast at Elimination Station. Note to self: watch video tonight after work.

My favorite part was when Caite and Brent got to the mat the first time and said something along the lines of "thats the second time we've done that" It is actually kind of funny that they keep finding the pitstops without clues.

I liked J&J. I thought they had a really good attitude this leg, I think they really appreciated the experience and will make a great couple. They really balance each other well.

What's for dinner Robin?

Steak au poivre, haricot vert & roasted potatoes with rosemary served with ... champagne! Well ... sparkling wine from California. I was too cheap to buy the real stuff and the Korbel was the only sparkling wine my local grocery had chilled.

My daughter had crepes with cream cheese and berries,

TB24 hit it on the head. Because they don't draw attention to themselves, that is why some people don't like them. Because they are respectful to each other as well as others, they aren't 'interesting' to those that want to see the worst in people.

When Steve said his wife threw it in at the last minute, I thought about the last race when the brothers had mentioned when they were shopping and saw the calculator for a couple of bucks and figured what the heck.

 

[RUDisney]

I didn't know who I wanted to go more... Jordan or Caite. Hopefully, next week it'll be Caite.

When they got the clue to go to Taitinger, I yelled, "yum!" I never realized that removing the cork from champagne in the way that they did would break the bottle. That was interesting.

 

[Kirby]

I'll miss Jordan and Jeff.

There is no way I would have attempted the glass tower.

I wonder why Phil did not go out to meet Jordan and Jeff in the vineyard when everyone had checked in?

I wonder the same thing. Then I thught GREAT it was another non elinmation round.

Well, they rubbed me the wrong way early on when they were laughing at the other teams who were at the wrong bus station, but they've been nice since then, so I will let that slide. They have some good one-liners, so I don't dislike them, but I don't like them, either.

They are just such dorks. Good gravy was funny once, but it's getting old. I think they are playing an exagerrated charicature of a cowboy. Bag-you-ette. Really?

 

[palmtreegirl]

I liked Jordan and Jeff, they were a fun team to watch. We're rooting for the cowboys, we really like them, they seem very genuine.

I agree, the cowboys are great.

And you can never go wrong with Duct Tape.

 

[travelbug24]

I wonder why Phil did not go out to meet Jordan and Jeff in the vineyard when everyone had checked in?

I bet a certain time has to elapse even if it is an elimination round to give them enough time to complete the task which gets me to wondering how much time would they allow?

on a side note - a bottle of champagne was delivered to me this morning as a thank you for a favor *La Serra - Moscato D'Asti*

 

[boyob13]

I"m honestly sorta glad that JJ is out of the race. I didn't like them very much.

My favorite teams now that I hope make that Final 3 are Dan and Jordan, Steve and Allie, and the cops. They just seem the most interesting of the bunch.

 

[Kurby]

did you guys see Phil's face when "dad" asked him if they had insurance on the cars LOL

i can't say i've ever seen someone get into an accident on that show - which surprises me because in the past they've been so reckless and agressive when driving.

maybe it just wasn't shown or maybe this bunch has been warned in which case it's about time.

i've always thought there should be a penility for breaking the local law which means if thei speed limit is 60 or 70 and they do 100 there should be a time penilty. 5 minutes for every mile over the limit.

Ah, you must've missed the team that flipped a car (jeep/suv) and injured a crew member - season 7, I think.

i've always thought there should be a penility for breaking the local law which means if thei speed limit is 60 or 70 and they do 100 there should be a time penilty. 5 minutes for every mile over the limit.

Ditto. Earlier season, two or three teams got penalized for exceeding the speed limit, one member of one team was bald or shaved his head, they were in a desert somewhere.

I love the cowboys. I don't think they were being mean when they were laughing at the other teams who were at the wrong bus a few episodes back, they just find humor in everything. When they themselves went to the wrong town last night, they were laughing about it and how silly it was of them to take the "scenic route."

I think they just literally find humor in every situation. They are clearly not malicious though. They just kind of amble along the race giggling at everything. They never fight with each other and always encourage each other.

I also like the detectives, but I guess they can no longer be "under cover" detectives since they are on national tv!

 

[damo]

The cowboys are my favourite team as well. I have found this season to be a lot of fun with good challenges and lots of mistakes! Definitely one of my favourite seasons.

 

[m&m's mom]

I hate bickering teams, therefore, I want Dan and Jordan and Carol and Brandy to go.
I would be happy with either The Cowboys (my fave), The Detectives or Steve and Allie to win.
I think Caite is tired and just not into the game anymore. She seemed considerably more down that ever before.
Does anyone remember when they used to show some of the teams interacting at the pit stops? I loved that. You really feel like you got to know them better.

 

[Mrs.Toad]

I think Caite is tired and just not into the game anymore. She seemed considerably more down that ever before.

yes, but I can hardly blame her. Her boyfriend is such a jerk, constantly ragging on her. She does it to him too, but he seems so much meaner about it to me. I wonder if that relationship survives the show?

I don't like the angry couples, either. I would like to see Caite & boyfriend and the lesbians go next. I like the brothers, though. They laugh while they bicker, so it seems like that's just the way they are with each other (and I know people like that, so it doesn't bother me). The lesbians and Caite/Brent (him especially) seem so angry with each other.

I like the cops and Steve & Allie a lot. Would love to see one of those two teams win it.
