Amazing Race 12

[Livia]

It's back tonight! :blob2: You can read the teams' profiles on cbs.com. The goth couple looks interesting, and there's a grandfather/grandson team for the first time.

Glad it's back! Hope this season kicks.

I actually know the lesbian ministers. I used to work with Pat at the Special Olympics state office in Los Angeles. If Kate doesn't kill her one of the others will.

This seriously has to be my favorite show on TV and I never thought I would say that about a reality show but I've been hooked since season one. I'm SO happy it's back!! :blob2:

My favorite player???

The donkey who wouldn't move.

If I had those idiots screaming at me, I, for one, would have kicked the blonde to the moon.

(Just how much caffeine did she consume on the plane ride over to Ireland???)

She was so ---(help me with the word here) --- ???? !!!

That bicycle ride looked cool though. Hey you Irish Ledgies...do you have those bike rides a lot over there???

[Livia]

I adore donkeys and I'm glad the team that got eliminated is gone. They were were being SO mean to their donkey!

As for the other couple w/ the caffeined-up blonde - they already bug me. The guy's cheated on her, and he's verbally abusive (toward her and innocent animals). She's a twit for staying w/ him. Their donkey seemed to be in pain, that was really difficult for me to watch.

My early faves: The hippies, the goths, grandpa/grandson (though I don't think they will last long, Grandpa won't be able to handle the physical challenges).

[Livia]

Anyone besides me still watching? I never expected Grandpa and his grandson to last this long. I was sorry to see the Goths get Philiminated; and almost as sad that the hippies almost did as well, they're my faves! Damn those editors for messing with my mind..."We've learned so much about each other during this race..." Pscyh!

Love Nick and Don. "Nick is strong, he carries my bag. He's like a bitch for me and it's perfect!" I'd love to see them win.

Also rooting for TK and Rachel. They just seem like cool kids, they're border on boring with how zen they are, but I like how well they work together and get things done, and they're fun.

^^^
I'm with you.

I was torn between the Goth kids and the Grandpa-Grandson team. So, now the Goths are gone, I am rooting for Gramps, (who was clean-shaven in the last interview...hmmmmmm.)

[#1LiddyBuckFan]

I was so sad to see the goths go. :( That's who I was rooting for! Now I think I'm going for TK and Rachel. Just as long as the annoying "I Hate You/I Love You!" couple (Jennifer and Nathan) and the "Father/Daughter" team (Ronald and Christina) don't win. Honestly, I don't mind the daughter, but her bitchy father gets on my nerves!!

[Livia]

I used to not like Christina, but I'm impressed with her multi-lingual skills. Even if it's just learning a few key phrases in each language. She's very respectful of the country she is visiting.

I was watching those guys play "taxi-driver-in-Japan" and thought...my nerves would not have let me compete. I hate traffic....I hate it even more without a navigator...and driving with gloves? Never have been able to accomplish that one...

I like Grandpa, but I can't say I like Grandson....but he does seem like he means well...

One episode I liked was regarding the female Ministers...when the one said to the camera...."Do you really think God cares? I mean, so what if you're in a race."

[Travis]

I missed last Sunday's show, anyone know if the episodes are available online? I looked on CBS.com but I didn't see any links for full shows. I know they've posted them in the past but I didn't see any for this season. :-(

You might try Youtube for Amazing Race 12 and see if anyone has posted it.

[bucklind17]

Yay! What a great final three!

[#1LiddyBuckFan]

Woohoo!!! :blob2: I'm so glad TK and Rachel made it in!!!

[Betsy]

Man...blondie Jenn (and no offense to blondes) finally got off the camera!

She ragged that poor team mate of hers....to tears...and...damn it all...it was her birthday too....so that rationalized not making any of the decisions.

She has one low boiling point....very volatile....the camera man must have miles of footage....

I don't think Gramps & Tall Kid will make it.... therefore I am switching my loyalty to TK & Rachel.......but I still miss the Goths.


Ron & Christina...did they really tell the ticket counter to say there were no more tickets?

[Livia]

I was SO happy TK and Rachel made it! I was screaming at the TV like a dork! :blob1:

Nate and Jen - good riddance!

Ron and Christina - yes, they did tell the ticket agent to say that, but I got the impression there really weren't any more seats on that flight.

[skcin]

^ Ditto to everything you said. :D Jen & Nate are a big bundle of negativity, immaturity & explosive tempers.
