The Amazing Race - 3/15/2009 - (Live Commentary/Discussion)

New Sunday, New AR!

Next On The Amazing Race

She's a Little Scared of Stick, But I Think She'll Be OK! (Siberia)

Ready, set, strip! Racers Run Wild. One team turns on two others-until it no longer suits their needs. One team goes for the fun-will their party priorities pay off?

 

[mswood]

Time to watch ladies running around Russian in Thongs and bikinis....Oh great, I'm gay...Well I guess there's Luke.....

I wonder if production thought what happens to women when they're cold, and what happens to men...?

 

[Brent]

Heh, funny Luke and his Mom think Victor and Tammy are sneaky, when they blind U-Turned Kris and Amanda!

 

[Skywalker]

I can't disagree with Tammy and Victor's thinking, since this is a race, after all. However, Margie/Luke and Jaime/Cara just followed them anyway, so all it did was piss them off.

 

[mswood]

Heh, funny Luke and his Mom think Victor and Tammy are sneaky, when they blind U-Turned Kris and Amanda!

Well they didn't lie about it or make promises to work or help them. SO it wasn't sneaky to use the U-Turn.

Sneaky was Dustin & Kandice telling Eric, Danielle, Charla, Mirna, Oswald & Danny that they were yield in their season and they would never yield anyone because they hated how it felt.

Of course the very next Pit Stop, the teams saw the episode where Dustin & Kandice yielded another team.....

Or about them telling Eirc & Danielle that they paid Oswald & Danny to Yield someone, but they left it for Oswald & Danny to pick (they didn't they specifically asked them to Yield Eric & Danielle).

 

[Skywalker]

Yay! Tammy's doing the roadblock! This episode earns an A from me.

Luke in his underwear

This episode was completely made of win, just for that.

There's really only one thing to say about this episode, and I say this as a proud heterosexual:

Phil in his skivvies was awk-ward.

Great episode. Glad they are doing the first non-elimination leg now since in the past they seemed to wait till the end. At least they're spreading them out. After last week, don't think I like Margie and Luke anymore.

 

[Canadave]

I had a suspicion this was a non-elim. Don't know why, it just felt like it. Wonder if Christie and Jodi will survive the extra task next week... somehow, I doubt it.

They probably figured this would be a bad episode to kick out any of the beautiful women, so they planned ahead.

 

[Skywalker]

I missed the last couple TARs. When did they start doing this Speedbump thing? I like the idea a lot better than taking the team's money and belongings.

 

[JAG]

I think they started the Speed bump 2 seasons ago.

Loved the episode. I enjoy when they have to drive in a foreign country and all get lost!!
That was a fun challenge.

I'd have given him credit for being in better shape than that.

Disappointed, really...

Yeah, I kind of expected a non-elimination round as soon as it became evident that they'd all be on the same overnight train: It gives the team that has to do the speedbump a fighting chance when there's little time separtating all the teams. Still think the flight attendents are doomed, though.

All in all, a good episode, but Luke's whining is starting to get on my nerves.

 

[McCoy]

All in all, a good episode, but Luke's whining is starting to get on my nerves.

Ha! So it's not just me after all.

What whining?

 

[McCoy]

Heh. Luke's whined in just about every episode now:
"I can't!"
"It's too hard!"
"It's taking too long!"

 

[TGTheodore]

I'm wondering how much of the annoyance for some people is his inarticulation more than what he's saying. Most every other contestant has whined almost as much. I find the stewardesses much more annoying.
