The Amazing Race - Season 34

[QueenIsabella]

I KNOW!!!! It's like the people on Survivor who never try starting a fire with flint before they go, or don't know how to swim. At this point, you have a reasonable expectation that stick shift will be part of the race at some point.

I'm old enough that basic anatomy was taught as part of HS biology. There was a separate Anatomy and Physiology course for students who wanted to get a jump on nursing/pre-med courses.

I also like the blonde non-yodeler. She's a good sport! And rainbow-hair lady's hair just drives me nuts. Does she not own a hairband or scrunchie to pull it out of the way? At least during tasks. When my oldest was younger, she had hair down to her knees--the only way it "worked" for her was, she was patient about letting me put it in a braid (actually, various styles). It needed to be out of the way--it was a huge distraction otherwise.

do none of them watch previous seasons to prepare? I can't drive a stick shift, but you can be sure if I was going on this show I would learn

Give it a week or two and we'll find all those teams who are afraid of heights too

I could barely watch last season when they were up on that mountain and they were running with the trail guide attached to them.

I would have chosen the cheese too and was wondering why more didn't. It's more about having to having to remember and thinking of the two the cheese would be easier in the end even though it was physical, and it was the easier of the two (of course if you get your streets right it takes even less time).

I loved that one of the twins was able to put together the bike so quickly and even though they are getting stressed out I can't blame them learning how to work with each other under different types of pressures.

The rainbow woman she is kinda obnoxious

As far as anatomy sure people could have pre-existing knowledge but some of those were more obscure, I'm sure I could get some just from knowledge gained but remembering it AND under a tight time crunch? Yeah I'm okay admitting IDK if I would have done the best.

 

[georgina]

I haven't. Am I the odd one?

Nope, lots of people haven’t taken anatomy. I don’t recall it being part of my high school biology class in the ‘70’s, and college for me was all chemistry and physics and math. I do know some bones and organs, but not all on that list. Some people think anatomy is easy, I could do really well on a chemistry or math challenge

I have been driving a stick car for over 35 years however!

 

[VFL]

I kind of like the motivational speaker (aka rainbow woman) because I think she is kind to the others who are competing. So many seasons have had complete A holes so, while somewhat annoying. She is really kind to others. sadly, I missed the second episode

DH and I say this on every one of these type of reality shows. If you're going on Survivor, learn to use a flint to make fire, spear fish, open a coconut, and practice balance! On AR, learn to use a map and drive a stick shift!

 

[JLTraveling]

I definitely would have chosen the anatomy challenge. I took anatomy in high school, and I'm currently a content writer. My literal job involves committing small facts/details to short term memory, regurgitating them, and moving on.

And yes, for the love of god, Drive a Stick Shift should be right up there with Read the Clue and Read a Map for basic AR skills! Though I will say that Read the Clue is harder than it seems. Anybody ever play/heard of MouseAdventure? It's like a scavenger hunt/trivia/puzzle thing through the Disney parks. And every time we play, my team ends up getting totally tripped up on at least one clue lol.

 

[georgina]

Wow, really liking the teams that are staying positive. Too much negativity at the end of this mega leg

 

[CynBeth]

i did not dislike the team that was eliminated but glad it was not one my favorites.

The daughter was disappointing. I feel bad for her dad.

She was behaving like a spoiled brat. You shouldn't have applied to be on the show if you didn't want to work hard. I'm sure she has seen the show before to know what some of the challenges entail. "I want to go home because my arms hurt", give me a break. And the rainbow girl with wanting to take the time penalty before she even started the challenge. Good Lord, at least try!

 

[emmabelle]

I’ve never seen someone say so many times they were done and wanted to go home. Wondering if she feels like a spoiled child now after watching it back. I kept thinking how many people applied and didn’t get picked and she’s acting like this. Ridiculous…

Sounds like my adult millennial daughter. She went to Universal last month and got sick after Forbidden Journey. She called me saying she wanted to go home. Get a grip and go back to the hotel to recoup.

Agree with all of this. Disappointed in the daughter.

Really liking the newlyweds. Love their positivity.

I was thinking that she was acting exactly how my own Gen Z daughter would act and for the same reason. Which is why I would never go an TAR with her!

I do wish she would have gone ahead and quit and given Rich and Dom another chance.

I was surprised at that. I get being frustrated, heck I get being hangry (I suffer from that too) but I couldn't believe how much going on and on about wanting to go home. Her dad did keep his cool though.

 

[declansdad]

Wasn't disappointed to see the unmotivational speaker go home but too bad she couldn't have take the daughter with her and just left the two guys.

 

[Mackenzie Click-Mickelson]

For real! Why would you event think to do a 4 hour penalty right off the bat. How is she a motivational speaker? She can't even motivate herself, gives up really easily.

 

[DisneyLover1217]

I don't get either how she is a motivational speaker when she gives up so easily. I also don't understand how she could think all the other racers were sculptors. I get how the first guy could think, omg, they want me to sculpt this, but when she gets there and sees how perfect everyone's sculpture is, how do you not realize what is going on lol.

Exactly!

Apparently she's never done one those kid's crafts where there is something encased in sandy clay. Those things made so much of a mess.
