~ The Amazing Race ~ Season 16 ~

no i thought it was wrong with the bread but what was even worse was when Carol dropped the knife in the garbage and editing (of for real) made it look like she just took it out, didn't wipe it off and went back to cutting the icecream.

now that's gross

 

[disneyjunkie]

Haven't seen them say anything to their face. It has been mostly in the interviews or when Brandy is complaining about something. She really is a *****.

I agree, Brandy is a *****, but so is Caite.

Caite and Brandy both remind me of students I've had over the years.
You have the loud mouth mean girl (Brandy) and the quiet mean girl (Caite). Whenever there's a conflict, the loud girl gets all the blame. However, in reality they both are at fault. The nasty things said/done by the quiet one tends to get overlooked because everyone is focused on the loud girl.

Were DH and I the only ones who went Yuck when they said the ice cream sandwiches could be made with either a slice of bread or waffers? Waffers we could handle, but bread just sounds so wrong.

No, you weren't. dh and I did too!

And did you catch how big the sandwiches were?! They say Americans eat large portions, but those things were ginormous!

Oh, that was gross. dh wondered if they'd get a penalty for using the knife out of the trash. I would think they wiped it off, though, and I doubt they had much choice but to continue to use it. It didn't look like there was another knife nearby.

Funniest line of the night was when they were getting in the sleepers on the train and Louie/Michael says "what if someone farts?"

and it doesn't hurt that the quiet one is pretty. She bats her eyelashes and gives a sweet smile and gets away with anything.

What is with the the video on Yoo-tube. How would Brandi know about Caite having a video.

 

[4greatboys]

Didn't care for the lesbians and don't care for the models. Also didn't care what order they left I will just be glad when the second of those teams is gone.
Any of the other teams I'm fine with winning though I think I would prefer it to be the cowboys--now that they have stopped saying "Oh my gravy" all the time

just like when my little brother used to pick pick pick until i blew up and would start yelling - i'd get in trouble and punished and he'd laugh - well - until i'd throw a ball at his head or break one of his toys - ahhh the joys of childhood.

lol

Half of America knew about. It's hysterical.

good lord - what the heck was that???

i know she's just a kid but come one - were they not prepped on practice questions???

it's not like that was her first pageant she should have been more prepared.

that said - those making fun of her are adults and if that's all they had to pick on then small minded ones.

ya it was funny but also sad that she comes across as uneducated whether or not she is i dont know since i don't know her.

It's the "Adults" constantly reminding her of her one BIG, HUGE "Open Mouth, Insert Foot" moment. I know I have had more then one of those in my 42 years and I am glad, none of them are out there for one and all to revisit over and over for their enjoyment in my moment of "brain meet mouth overload".

I am sure that in their youth, both Carol and Brandy, said something that really didn't show them in the best of light. They can only hope that someone didn't catch it on tape and if they did, that they will never plaster it out there for all to see.

If they didn't have any before, they certainly have lots now.

It was good leg. So smart of one of the cops to have his pitch counter with him. but they forgot the clip board (READ THE CLUES!)

Loved that he thought to pack this. This was as useful as the duct tape Steve's wife threw in his pack. The things that racers keep thinking of after watching the previous seasons. Loved the calculator the brothers took last season.

Beyond their hatred of them, in some ways Carol and Brandi were a good move to use the u-turn on.
The remaining teams all have a good rapport, and if the u-turned team managed to make it though fast enough, and someone else got eliminated, then that would have ruined that rapport.
Plus Carol and Brandi do not work well together when things are not going their way, so that put them at a bigger disadvantage with the U-turn than the cops or the cowboys would have had.

 

[Nancyg56]

Really!!! It's not just about who might beat you - after all, Caite and Brent have won in the past - it's about how you treat others. Aside from Jordan't original making fun of Caite's pageant response and maybe a few other expected catty remarks about other contestants, everything we've seen shows him being a nice guy. Yes, it's a competition, but everybody is getting along well.

- why NOT get rid of the competitors who just don't like you?

I agree. The lesbians were just mean adn that came back to bite them. I think it was really odd that they thought that teh move was dumb, did they not give them selves credit to be able to win this thing? I know that they never won a single leg but in this Race it is the final one that counts.

I think that if one team is making your life miserable and you can only pick one.....pick them!

what takes me off about the the booing and whining is that given the chance either of those teams would have used it on another team.

this isn't a "lets be friends" game its a race for a million bucks -

Exactly.

They weren't manipulated; they already had their minds made up.

 

[anniemae]

I know the race is very stressful and it is common to snap at your partner, but Brandi and Carol were downright mean to each other the whole race. They always fought, bickered, pointed fingers, blamed each other when the task was not going well etc. Then Brandi called Carol a bit** last night. I was appalled at how they treated each other from day one.

I understand getting upset at being u-turned, but they were saying it wasn't fair??? Come on, its part of the game. There dosen't have to be any rhyme or reason to who gets u-turned.

I will always root for the cowboys! I have to say though, I never thought they would make it this far!

I think they were a fine example of "judging a book by it's cover". Most people looked at them and thought here's a couple of farm boy hicks, they aren't going to be much of a challenge. Yes, they made a money mistake that first leg, but since then they haven't, for the most part, missed a beat. Even being horrid at getting a taxi, hasn't slowed them down, to much.

Out of the four teams left, I would most like to see them win it all.

Were DH and I the only ones who went Yuck when they said the ice cream sandwiches could be made with either a slice of bread or waffers? Waffers we could handle, but bread just sounds so wrong. And boy did we laugh when the Cops cab driver came up and bought the last 10 they needed to sell.

Something tells me they did the ice cream sandwich challenge before, cause that was a weird fact that I remembered knowing and how else would I know that except for watching AR?

 

[Kurby]

im wondering how many people in other countries know about this now.

i was surprised (not sure why) when we found out there was an Aisian AR. seems to me that a lot of the places they could would know what's going on.

most people see to want to help out the crazy strangers

I so agree with you.

Except of course, if you know anything about reality TV they take the juiciest parts and edit out the sweet stuff, they want controversy to goose ratings.

I would have U-turned the best team behind me, not the ones I disliked the most.
