Amazing Race 6-official thread

[Livia]

My favorite line was after the ice-climbing, when Don (the older guy) said, "I'd rather use that ice in a martini!" He's my kinda guy.

Jonathan (yellow jacket) is a JERK! I think Lori's worse - they came in what, 6th place, and she was still yelling and blaming Bolo? Beeyatch!

I like Hayden and Aaron, the team that came in first. I also like the bartender couple, Kris and Jon, they came in 3rd. The girls from NY won't last, they seem too stupid...father/daughter won't last - he won't be able to hack the physical challenges. I like the Mormon sisters, they're funny.

Looks like we'll be seeing a lot more dysfunction this season. I wanted to smack Jonathan!

I was busy last week, so I had to tape 'Amazing Race'... well, in a completely bone-headed move, I accidentally taped over it on Sunday, before I had a chance to watch it.

From the re-cap at the beginning of tonight's episode, it looks like the 11/23 episode was definitely one I wouldn't have wanted to miss. D'Oh.

Tonight's episode was good though... I love when it's anyone's game, and it's not painfully obvious who's going to get eliminated.

Spoiler....

Spoiler:

I'm sad to see the sisters, Lena & Kristy, go. They were a strong team, and had a lot of vitality. Too bad it wasn't Jonathan and Victoria. Yuck... he's even more insufferable than Colin was. And that's saying a lot!I thought poor Don was going to have a heart attack. I hope they're paying close attention to his health!

Ok, now that that's out of the way. I don't really have any favorites out of the remaining teams, so far... but I definitely have a couple of least favorite team members.

Jeeze...what a night...

Spoiler:

Good gosh...7 hours with the hay. My mom and I had tears in our eyes like two nerds when Phil came up and told them they'd been eliminated. I wonder if it wasn't just an oversight on her part because of the way she was ripping the hay apart. At any rate, i'm sorry to see them go. Oh, and I love how numbnuts was all sympathetic to his girlfriend. What a tool

[wondergirl9847]

Bolo is not very bright.

When they were counting and he goes, "66, 68, 80..." Huh? Wait a second, Bolo...LOL

Then, he put two pots in her pile and took them out and she goes "How many did you just put in?" and he goes, "Two." and she says, "Are you sure it was two?" and he goes, "Two....two or three."

I'm glad you guys are recapping. I have class tuesday nights, plus, this way I don't have to waste as much time watching the whole show! It's great..now i'll be all up to speed during vacation!

[CelticGypsy]

Jonathan is a creep!!! I can't stand him. Such a bully. I feel bad for his girlfriend. Hope she left him after the show was over with.

Was so sorry to see the sisters go tonight. How terrible that they were out there for over 8 hrs unrolling those bales of hay with no luck. I was hoping they would not be eliminated. Great show and glad Gus and his daughter is still there in the race and the grandparents!!! They are my favs so far.

Great recap of the one you missed here:

"Everytime Don throws up, I catch a fish" Tonight was amusing but next week looks even better

[Sorcerer386]

I guess I'll be the only one to admit to loving the teams that fight and argue. They are the entertainment value, and ya know it's true. If all of the teams were Lena and Kristy-ish, the show would be boring. Last season I didn't even watch it because all the teams sucked (except Mirna and Charla, which it was hilarious that Mirna made Charla do everything). Come on now...who doesn't love seeing a huge pro wrestler getting hen pecked by his wife? Or some psycho who constantly loses his temper, "WILL YOU LET ME TALK?!?" And Adam and Rebecca...LOL their conversation tonight:

SPOILER:

Spoiler:

"Do you want me to jump off of the boat?" "That would be fantastic!"

The only team I really can't stand right now is Gus and Hera. Big snooze watching those two, except for when they get lost, which is technically about every 5 minutes. I can actually tolerate the old couple this time, although I can't figure out why.

And I'm loving this season because it's back to the basic Amazing Race where everyone was on their own and willing to do anything to get ahead. Remember when Blake wouldn't wake the Gutsy Grannies from season 2? I love this season.

You're definitely right... the folks who act obnoxious and the couples who bicker and fight do make things that much more interesting (although it's already an exciting and fast-paced show, so it's not like they NEED the arguing and bickering as much as a sedentary show like 'Big Brother' does)... but I'm sure not going to root for those types of people to actually win the million dollars.

Boorish behaviour gets rewarded way too often in our society as it is.

Having Colin in A.R.5 was great fun... and it was even more fun to see him act like a maniac for all of those weeks, only to come in in second place.

[Livia]

It seems like ever since Wil and Tara, they purposely cast another couple just like them...

I cracked up when Bolo told Lori, "You kicked all 3 of those girls' asses." I'd forgotten about Kendra doing the salt challenge, so at first, I thought he was calling Adam one of the girls.

I can't stand Jonathan - "I need someone to English speak me." Ugly American.

Kris and Jon are still my faves - for a newly dating couple, they are handling the tribulations of traveling together quite well! Especially, with the added stress of being in a race. I hope they stay together!

Here's the question I HAVE to ask though...how can you tell the difference between them, Hayden and Aaron, and Freddy and Kendra? I'm being totally honest, I cannot ever tell those three teams apart. They are like the interchangeable couples who do nothing.

I thought that was just me. I've only seen the new season once, but i was having trouble telling some couples apart...

[Livia]

Kendra's hair is much longer, and she's prettier, imo...but the men do look alike...
