The Amazing Race - 9/28/08 - Live Commentary

[mswood]

Well I can had a bit more info, Nick & Starr are competitive but certainly weren't cocky they are the youngest team to ever race (combined average age). And they are very concerned about their lack of travel experience.

Terence apparently did rub people wrong during their campout according to two teams (the Frats and the african american couple).

I actually really found Nick and Starr energy to be very contagious. In fact the only other team out the gate that I really like are Toni & Dallas (I loved her kissing him on the check right before the started the race), I thought he might be real cocky but early reports from the other racers is that he is very friendly and cool (From both men and women).

I also enjoyed Mark & Bill, but not to the degree of the other two teams. Ken & Tine I didn't like but I didn't hate, which is what I thought would happen. Everyone else fairly neutral too, with it being too early to get a bead off of them.

Yeah Terence is JOnathan without the yelling and the over the top theatrics.

Lets look at his behavior.

Gets upset if she gets ahead of him (Yeap, thats one).

Gets upset if she isn't stroking his ego (Check, another one).

Gets upset when he isn't the center of her universe (Check another one)).

Lets her know when she can actually talk to others (Check, another one).....

What an ass......

I just watched it. Good start, though the elimination wasn't shocking in the slightest. I think Mark and Bill and Toni and Dallas are my favourites so far, though I keep expecting Mark and Bill to start busting myths or something like that...

Ok, watched it, pretty good, I loved the challanges, I would have also gone for the cargo net one, that looked fun!

Yeah, I'm going for Nick and Starr right now

I hate Terrence & Sarah, they are annoying already

Yeah, I too thinking of Adam Savage with Mark and Bill

Got a question for those in the know, what happens when a team is eliminated? What I mean is, how long do they get to stay where they are before they have to leave back home? Do the producers let them stay a few days to rest or vacation where they are at?

 

[Canadave]

^ From what I've heard, they pay for them to stay on vacation up until the race is scheduled to end, so as to not leak which teams get eliminated when. I can't confirm that, though.

Well, that's what they TELL them will happen. They actually go through Carousel and duplicates are brought back for the end of the race ...

No, they DO keep them "on vacation" until the race is over.

I wonder how that works though. Are they just stuck in one place or do they travel with the show?

 

[TGTheodore]

I would guess they'd all be in the same place. That's why they seem to like each other more when they all pop up at the end.

Of course he is - he's HOT!!!!

I am so glad this is back on. So far I like Nick and Star as well as Mom and Dallas.

In the past few seasons, they've done an 'Elimination Station' feature on the CBS website. You could watch video of the eliminated teams relaxing at a resort. I know they've had a resort in Portugal previously, not sure where else. But I've seen it a few times that the times all go to one place until the last few legs, where they all end up together ago for the final leg filming.

I'm waiting until after this season is done to start watching TAR Asia Season 3. I love TAR Asia, too, so I'll be excited to watch that one when this is done.

 

[Spot's Meow]

Where do you guys watch these other Amazing Race editions? I might be interested but don't know where to look.

 

[McCoy]

Yeah I've never seen this TAR: Asia. How is it different from the regular edition?
