The Amazing Race - 11/08/2009 - (Live Commentary/Discussion)

[Brent]

One team struggles with cooperation at an explosive detour and the racers return to one of the most infamous road blocks in Amazing Race history

'doh, delayed for me, going to be 40 minutes late

 

[Skywalker]

Really? Ouch. It was only twenty minutes for me.

I'm so looking forward to the Roadblock.

I would totally do the "Blowing shit up" detour this time. When given a choice between decrypting a language and blowing stuff up, there is no choice.

Including the hay unrolling thing again is just plain evil.

 

[Snaploud]

Including the hay unrolling thing again is just plain evil.

Seriously...I'll give them a pass for doing it the first time, but it's just plain sadism to do it again.

This had the feel of a non-elimination round, and I'm glad that it was. I'd hate to see a team get knocked out on that task - though by the end I wouldn't have minded saying goodbye to Sam and Dan.

 

[firehawk12]

Yeah, I had a feeling that they'd bring out the "bad task" only to have it be non-elim. Not a bad way to end the episode, I suppose.

 

[Tulin]

This is THE FIRST TIME in ANY season of TAR where I would be happy for ANY of the five remaining teams to win.

We were just saying tonight at the conclusion of the episode that we are enjoying this season so much because for the first time in a LONG time it is not about inter team conflicts.

All of the people remaining seem so nice!

Unlike last time with the deplorable Chinese brother(Fuck I HATED him), I KNOW a team I like WILL win this season!

LOVE THAT!!!

I'm still hoping for Brian and Erica to go next, but I love all of the other teams. Well, Meghan and Cheyne are just sort of "there" for me, nothing special, but I don't dislike them. I hope that the father and son team can pull through next week because I really do like them a lot, and they have been doing a great job throughout the whole race.

The only team I dislike is Sam and Dan, and my dislike seems to be growing with each episode. I also don't care for Erica, but her husband's okay.

I was glad that Gary and Matt got a reprieve. They're long shots, but I'm rooting for them.

If not Gary and Matt, I'd like to see Meghan and Cheyne win. Kudos to her on the hay challenge. She got frustrated at times, but she kept plugging away.

 

[Skywalker]

I think it was kind of lame that Cheyne made Meghan do the Roadblock. He saw what Sam was doing out there, so he should have stepped up and offered to do it. Same with Matt, he shouldn't have let his dad do it, either.

I loved it when Brian snapped at Dan because he kept giving Sam a hard time. That was great.

I'm not rooting for the Globetrotters, but it was nice to see them get into first on that guy's birthday. Nice gift and they both genuinely deserved it.

I'm rooting for Megan and Chayanne but wouldn't mind any of the teams winning. I hope the father and son can get back into the mix and make up all that time.

 

[Bloodwhiner]

I think it was kind of lame that Cheyne made Meghan do the Roadblock.:

Yeah, he just stood there like an idiot. His stock went way down at that moment.
