The New Season of Amazing Race...

[Kelly]

Why does everyone hate Team Romber? I get it that no one seems to want them to win another Mil but you have to admit, Rob is playing a pretty good game. He does use his brain and has made some good moves..like taking the penalty, paying people to help him. He seems to be snarky but he also appears to know what he has to do to win. I find him highly entertaining. He adds drama and humour to the show..which I like. Lynn and Alex are cool too.

Deana? What a whiner. She is worse than Flo, if that is even possible. She complains, bitches, cries, complains , bitches, cries. Yikes. She would drive me up a wall if I was her partner.

I am not sad to see the rolling skating dorks go. Who drives two and a half hours out of their way without realizing it? The clue says "drive ONE HUNDRED miles to the mountains"...uh, ladies, when you have hit the hundred mile marker with no mountains in site, you are going the WRONG way! Oy.

Honestly, I really do not have a favorite team this time. I ADORED Kris and Jon last season and no one in particular strikes me fancy this time. I feel like I am sort of obligated to route for the POW..but he doesn't seem like he is going to be one of the stronger racers. His girl is sort of annoying too.

Ever heard the saying "It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game"? I understand that you must do things to win, but Romber is lower than low. Stealing cabs, bribing bus drivers not to let the other teams leave the bus, using money from other teams to bribe and then laughing about it, using their Survivor fame to get help (that gives them a leg-up on all the other teams automatically), etc. They're infuriating and I can't wait for the night when they're Phil says "I'm sorry to tell you, but you've both been eliminated from the race."

I actually don't mind them as much as I thought I would. I CANNOT WAIT to see the mother and son team get elminated. I know Curtis is with me on that one. They are obnoxious as all get out.

Take that back, YOU RUINER.

I lurve them. And Meredith and Gretchen. And Uchenna and Joyce. And I'm devastated that Debbie and Bianca are gone, they were so incredibly hawt.

Oh honey, you know i'm a total fag hag. He is one gay boy i'd beat the piss out of if I ever encountered him and his mother? VOMIT. She reminds me of the many bitches I encounter on an everyday basis. I cannot stomach them. CANNOT.

I do love Meredith and Gretchen. I always love the older couples--every year they've been amazing and the two of them are so.damn.cute.

My brother can't get over the fact that the man's name is Meredith.
So everytime he's on the screen, he calls him by a different female name.

My personal favorite was "Carol Sue."

When they introduced the teams the first night, I was slightly puzzled by the name as well because it's not a name for a man that you hear often...especially for someone that age.

Hey, there was a bada$$ named Sue...Johnny Cash sang about him.

I'm devastated that Debbie and Bianca are gone, too. But I was sad that the barbie twins left as well.
I don't think the mother and son are that obnoxious the son is a little snarky, but it's cute. And I like long hair, too, although he is a little pretty and slight (but why do I care? he's gay!) The gay boys are funny...I don't really care about most of the other people, except the older couple (forgot their names) cause I want an older couple to win once.
I totally wish one of the double girl groups would stay in, though - me and my friend Rain wanted to be on it, but for this years application, they were asking for teams/families of four! So does that mean next time it's gonna be all families/teams of four? Looks like it. We can't think of two other people we'd want to go with us...

Marty and I heard that, and then joked that we could not imagine a more nightmarish situation that traveling around the world with our children!!! If they were older it would be different but to imagine it now is a riot.

I'm not sure I see the point of making it families instead of couples.....??

I would assume they'll pick the most dysfunctional and quirky families as humanly possible. Generally, you have to be 21 to apply to be on the show. I'm wondering if it will be the same way for the family version--all college aged and older kids?

I think families of four will be too hard to keep track of--that's a lot of people.

The Barbie twins were too dumb for me to watch, just like the brothers. Debbie was just drop-dead gorgeous, I had to fan myself when looking at her.

I love Susan/Patrick and Meredith/Gretchen. They're my favorites so far. Susan cracks me up, I almost choked when she said "My son needs a man" and "No, I wouldn't be whining if I had to do eat all this, I'd be on the ground vomiting."

I really liked Bob and Joyce from season 5, they were so cute. Old people hooking up on the internet...awwwwwwwww. But still, no team has come close to my girls Charla and Mirna yet. I <3 them bitches.

My condolences, Diss. They did make me laugh though: "Mom, if you don't be quiet, we're going to have an embarrassing moment..." I will miss them. I was hoping Ray & Deana would go, he's an A-Hole & she's a whinebag. Oh well.

Next week looks hella good. Lots of blood & drama & accidents & excitement.

Yes, Romber's playing well. Doesn't mean I have to like them, does it?

I do agree - Deana sucks. Stop crying like a little b*tch & get to work.
