The Amazing Race starts tonight

[NFLDERS]

Starting right off Shamir could not "Let it go!" I feel for his partner Sara.

Liz, and Michael first team in!

Olive, and Seth last. Eliminated.

I was surprised that junk guy and partner didn't get a penalty, not because of the broken window, but because she sent the last team in the wrong direction to find the bike girl/clue. I'm pretty sure there is a rule against interfering and would think that would qualify.

In past season, teams have lied to each other to throw them off, send them in the wrong direction etc. It's all strategy. They can't mess with things, like take clues out of the box or hide a sign, but lying they can do I believe. It's been happening for quite some time.

I was sorry to see Seth and Olive go. But I understand why they'd want them gone. They were definite competition. As of right now, I can not stand Shamir. Seriously, suck it up buttercup! I feel so sorry for his partner!

I think I may be the only person that doesn't like the hippie chick with Urkel. Not a fan.

And I started off liking Matt and Redman (I am not sure which one is which) but the marine about had a mental breakdown last night and it was a bit of a turn off to me. It showed he can be a loose cannon when he doesn't get his way. He's used to winning and doesn't like anything else. They still did extremely well. Just the going off on Ashton (or whatever her name was) was ridiculous. They cut everyone in line to get on the plane and saw nothing wrong with that but then he gets upset for them giving the boys a U-turn which was just strategic game play IMO.

My faves are Michael and Liz and Becca and Floyd. I was sad to see Seth and Olive go...I really, really like them! And, I don't mind Logan and London..

 

[emmabelle]

I liked when they were learning Swahili! I've heard a lot of the phrases while on the safari ride in AK.

I would've been so bummed if Becca and Floyd got eliminated for something stupid.

I really thought Redmond took it a little far when they were running on the beach for the boat. Guess he doesn't like to be messed with.

Finally, please eliminate Shamir, so annoying, but watch the week when their time is up will be a non-elim leg.

Becca went from "Fun Becca" to "Mean Becca" in 0.5 when Urkel lost his passport. She really needed to go smoke a bowl. Hopefully they'll make right and be back to being Team Fun next week.

I found Michael & Liz off-putting at first, but now I'm really digging them. They found their groove and put all the ugliness behind them.

Maybe the OP could add "Spoilers welcome" to the thread title? Or anybody p poo sting this type of information so closely following the episode - especially in GMT-4, while the vast vast majority of viewers are GMT-5 or later- could use the spoiler feature provided by the board software?

Oops! Sorry.

I'd totally not considered that.

 

[Cogswel_Cogs]

I don't like this nobody knows nobody. Iatch people who know each other go at it.

Gotta disagree with you there, I love this twist! I think it's cool how some teams are basically the same person (like the cop & firefighter or the weird girl & Urkel), and other teams are polar opposites (like the weird little Asian banker and the centerfold-model realtor).

 

[wwffan7385]

agree with rastahomie. The twist has added some life into the show. May be too little too late but we shall see.

It's not considered a spoiler once the show has aired. If you are in a later time zone, it's recommended not to visit these types of threads until after you've watched the latest show.

The poster I quoted posted this week's results at 10:37 Eastern - 23 minutes before the show ended for most of the continent.

Yup that always happens, the team you want gone comes in last and it's an non-elimination leg.

 

[Dancind]

Since they teamed them up blind, I'm hoping there's a twist that gives them a chance to switch partners. Kind of like Survivor. Might be fun to watch Shamir and Brook implode.

I don't know about your board settings, but I can see the first sentence or 2 of a post without opening the thread. Usually when threads contain spoilers, don't they say spoiler in the title? I can understand the frustration if someone saw a spoiler while scrolling through the board waiting for the show to start. Although the spoiler feature does work on this board. If you hover over "Insert" there is an option to insert a quote or a spoiler tag.

If it was my post. The first entry was at 10:37pm. Then Edited: To add the last two statements at 11:03pm.

Please board please board do not get upset with my question, but is Becca a transgender. I hate labeling people. But when they went back for their passports, her whole deameanor changed, even her voice. I thought she really punched him in the nose and I thought, that is so wrong, girls should not get away with hitting. Phil joked about it, but I guess she said she only wanted too.

I'm liking the season so far - I think the stranger twist has added something this year.

No real favorites yet, but I do have to say, I was impressed the way that Olive took the elimination. She knew that they were likely going to get U-turned, they fought hard and tried to get ahead of someone, but when it didn't happen, she didn't whine and complain about being U-turned, just admitted it's part of the game and said they were bummed to be going home. Classy.
