The Amazing Race
 

This is, by far, the best reality show out there. Anyone else watch it? This is the best season so far and the teams are AWESOME. I got a kick out of last nights episode when Kami and Karli dove into the water and swam to the island. Then Phil pointed out that they could've walked though the shallow water like everyone else. :laugh:

My favorite team would have to be Mirna and Charla, they crack me up. Too many priceless quotes:

"Where's the disco? Oh, look, ask her!"
"I think she's a prostitute."
"Wouldn't a prostitute know where the disco is?"
"Yeah."
"Mirna, let's get outta hear, she's mad because she has work to do."

"I got electrocuted!"

"I'm not fast and quick on my feet! Oh no, what if you have to stick your hand up the cows ass?!"

"Big cartwheel!"

"Just put the meat on my back and go!"

The fact that they make up their Spanish as they go along has me in stitches. "Airporto- whoosh!" And you have to have some gall to approach a Spanish hooker to ask for directions.

:lol:

And they we're SOOOO dramatic jumping into the water. "LET'S SWIM!!!" :lol:

Charla and Mirna.....can I just say that I laugh hysterically at everything they do? "I need a doctoro!" Last night I couldn't help but laugh when the team that raced them to the hill where they'd glide yelled out loud "WE HAVE TO BEAT THE MIDGET!" If I were her, I would have turned around and slapped him :laugh:

I have to love the home team too...Bob and Joyce live in Mount Laurel, NJ :thumbsup:

I LOVE this show! Love it, love it, love it! I haven't picked a favorite team yet. At first it was Mirna and Charla, but last night they turned me off. Maybe they'll redeem themselves to me. When she was telling the agent at the airport that she needed to get to a "doctoro", you know they agent knew they were with the rest of the Americans there. I was sorry to see the father/daughter team go, but they screwed up at the airport bad. I was glad to see Donnie and Allison go last week. They were just annoying....

This isn't exactly splitting hairs: Argentine, not Spanish. Different country, different continent, different hemisphere.

Yes, great show. I want to kick that Christian couple's asses. Hypocrites!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS SHOW!! Yes, the best reality "contest" show out there!

I'll miss Donny and Alison, only 'cause we loved to hate them so...(Donny to Alison: "You're psycho!"). Alison was like the female version of Wil. Remember how mean he was to Tara? That was some good TV! LOL

LOVE Mirna and Charla!

I love how people in Spanish-speaking countries just add an "o" at the end of everything and think it's Spanish..."airport-o?" Or how they speak English, but with an accent of whatever native language....you know what I mean? "Where eees the airporrrrto?" LOL

I'm liking the new rules - only 2 fast-forward opportunities and the yield option.

I hope Marshall and Lance are the next to go - they're a-holes!

I missed last night's episode, but I have it taped. This show keeps me on the edge of my seat the entire hour. I can't get enough of it. Charla and Mirna are definately a fav, but I also like the Internet Dating Couple, too. I think they are so cute for some reason.

I heard Alison was from the TV show Big Brother which is kind of annoying...seems as though they were paid to be on the show.

What I don't like about the new rules is that if you choose the Fast Forward, you send the team that's in 1st place, back. That really sucks if you're the 1st place team.

Marshall and Lance :distress: I laughed so hard when EVERYONE got the chocolate with the white cream except him :lol:

What a waste of chocolate. That killed me!

Definitely my favorite reality show. Everything else seems to be boring or have unbelievable twist after unbelievable twist to try and keep it interesting. Amazing Race is facinating because uh...these people are going around the world. It's definitely the show I'd be on if I had a choice.

I love Mirna and Charla and I hope they win.

Alison came in 2nd place on Big Brother, and I'm sure she took home a few grand for making it that far.

So, the 1st place team goes to last place if you FF them? Or 2nd place? I missed that - I also thought the yield was available on every leg, but I guess not...:confused:

Charla and the Chocolate Factory - she almost made a love connection, with the clue-giving dwarf. I loved when Mirna said she'd puke if she ate all that chocolate. I think Marshall/Lance, whoever, ate about 30 pieces before realizing he didn't have to swallow! Wasn't all the chocolate all over the ground a clue? LOL

LOL, yes. I was liking those guys until last night. They were getting rude.

I think the casting directors thought Marshall/Lance would be more like Kevin and Drew from the first AR season...sadly, they are not...they are Ugly Americans...

BTW, Kevin and Drew have their own show called "Unleashed" on Discovery. It's like a male version of "The Simple Life," but not as funny. I've only watched the first one though, maybe it's gotten better.

:laugh: I was going to say Argentinian hooker, but I wasn't sure if that was the exact name. :laugh:

And, yes, those two are incredibly annoying. He reminds me of Sideshow Bob. And if I hear them say "We'll win because we're competitive" one more time, I'll gag.

The thing that cracked me up was how Charla said "Airport-o?" then made and hand gesture and went "Whoosh!" :laugh: I was dying. I couldn't stop laughing when Mirna couldn't hold the beef, but Charla picked it up and ran with it on her back for two blocks.

The Pizza Putzes drive me bonkers. They're so lazy and obnoxious.

Did you see Colin laughing hysterically when Charla was trying to eat the chocolate and stay on top of the stool with Mirna yelling at her to eat the stuff? And then after she got the white piece she bolted off the chair and ran towards the dwarf while trying to keep the hat on. :lol:
