Amazing Race TV Show

[ellen10]

I too love this show. Love to see the great places they visit and the personalities. Maybe they should have an international team e.g. team Aussie would kick their butts!

mmm Thursday nighta are looking good for travel buffs - Getaway then The Amazing Race Was an interesting article on Phil in one of the sunday magazines

I'm a fan of the series too. It's a shame the US series don't permit o/s entrants - that'd be great.

Have a look for Amazing Race Asia - in Season 2 they had an all-girl Thai team that were Aussies, Natasha and Paula.

So true. The two old lesbians were sooooo annoying! Hope they're gone soon.

Oh god they’re awful. Very tempted to check Ft to find out who won, then again wikipedia would also do it

Or I could just tell you right now and make a whole ton of people very unhappy.

I won't spoil it of course, but I was really unhappy with who won and how they won it. The bulk of my hatred however remains reserved for the female same-sex couple and their disgraceful attitude and behaviour that you'll see more of soon enough.

OT: Is lesbian a permitted word, and would anyone have been offended if I wrote lesbian couple, instead of female same-sex?

What’s wrong with lesbian? It’s the correct term after all.

cough might upset someone, but then that’s just a wall that holds up water. Same as fa_got is just a bundle of sticks

Up pulls a cab , out race 2 people with back packs followed by a camera and sound man

Yep, I had the same experience in Tallinn. Saw S.15 ep.9 being filmed. I'm not actually in the show, but knowing where I was at the time, I was just outside of the shot that was aired. Two of the team members were running trying to hail a cab, being followed by camera+sound.

Of course, it's sometimes it's difficult to keep a blackout on results.

Be wary of FT if you are into "the amazing race" - it's been over for a wek or so in the uSA and I inadvertently found out which team won simply when reading a completely unrelated thread!

I would not know who they are or what they looked like.

I have never watched a single episode of the show ...

If I was not into avoiding commercial television* and was watching this show I would have been annoyed!

That is why Tivo (and other PVR productions) was invented

Just start watching at 7:55 and finish watching the 1-hour show in real time at 8:35 after skipping through all the ads and reprises.

Yeah, that's true.

Luckily I'm the only one in the house who knows how to program our HDD video recorder which can record FTA shows independently of what anyone else is watching. Just there are not that many shows I considered it worth doing for.

Absolutely.

I just hooked up our second Tivo tonight and now only have to find the code (that they didn't seem to send) to network them.
