I'm already rooting for the Weaver family. The Paolo's sound funny & I also want to see how Austin Black does - he's 8!

The Linz family gets points from me since they're wearing orange shirts :D . Also - one brother lives here. I already dislike the Schroeder's, mainly for the note that "17 year old Stassi is the queen of the family" Blergh. :rolleyes:

Here's my prediction on the way the race will go (Totally based on looks...and bios...but mostly looks :lol: )

Weaver
Gaghan
Godlewski
Bransen
Paolo
Shroeder
Black

With Linz, Aiello, and Rogers in the final three.

I've never been able to get into this show. It's all like "Hey, let's go! Hurry! We gotta get to the... place... yeah, let's go! Hurry!" I TOTALLY miss The Mole. If The Amazing Race had someone trying to sabotage their missions, I'd be all over it! But seeing everyone hurrying to get someone just doesn't hold my interest. :shrug:

Don't taint this thread with negativity...the AR is awesome, fool! :)

...and I miss The Mole, too. I freaking loved that show...esp when Anderson Cooper hosted it.

Daniel... you should give it another chance... it's the best!! :blob2:

I loved the first two seasons of The Mole (I wonder why...), but I hated those celebrity editions. They were soooooooo bad. Corbin Bernsen and Stephen Baldwin? Yech.

The Amazing Raace kicks ass, though. My favorite "reality" show by far because I get so into it. I literally jump on my couch and slap my hands and stomp my feet and yell and scream when I watch it.

The first season is on DVD. It's worth owning just to hear Anderson sing Tiny Bubbles.

No way?! :eek:

I liked the second season when they burned all their items...and a few days later or so they got them back. LOL. I got a chuckle on that one.

:laugh: That's awesome. That's totally what I do. Can't wait for this show to start! Stupid fall has come too quickly. But wait, I love fall!

Yup. I got it at Best Buy when it came out for less than $15, I believe, which was a steal. I can't imagine it's much more than that now.

Didn't you notice how the first two seasons were really inventive and, dare I say it, intelligent? Then they did those celebrity ones and it totally went down the ****ter. Not to mention that Ahmad Rahad is quite possibly the most annoying man on the face fo the Earth.

It really was the most creative show I have ever seen. Every episode I thought I had it figured out, but I never did. It funny how the creators knew that no one would be able to figure out The Mole because human error runs rampant and so many mistakes were made during each task, keeping the identity hidden until the end. Amazing.

"Come on you guys! Hurry! We gotta get to the place! HURRYYYY!! Let's go! We'll never make it! We're dead in the water! Let's go! Let's get to the place!"

It just sounds so duh to me! :lol:

you guys are all wankers! :lol:

My friend Rachel jizzes over that show too.

They totally made a stop in Calgary on the last season apparently. They were all like "Go! Get going! We gotta get there! Hurry!" :lol:

I didn't even watch it. It looked like a parody of what was a VERY good show. I miss that show. I love that it had another layer to it that The Amazing Race is missing. No one sabotaging anyone = no time! :D

People sabotage people all the time on the Amazing Race. It's just that no one is hired to do so. They do it at their own free will.
