For all AR fans, don't forget Amazing Race is back on Tuesday, Nov. 16. The ads feature what appears to be three cut throat teams and new rules. Should be interesting

Already?!? Geez, we're still on the last one! lol

Saw it last night. It is hard to know which team to root for, but there are 3 teams I want to see lose real soon!

Copago - which leg are you on now?

It's on tonight - but last week they were in Egypt.

The team I liked got out. I was very sad.

Forgot to add "Spoilers" to the heading of this thread.





Toadette discovered an interesting tidbit, on ctv.ca there is a forum, for AR. On it is a link that shows Victoria (the loudmouth entrepeneur's wife) is an internet porn star. No surprise here.

Also, someone suggested that the producers do an international race. I think this is a great idea. Have teams that are American, Canadian, British, French, German, Japanese, etc. The interaction of the teams would be as interesting as the race.

That would be interesting, wouldn't it?

Great idea, I'd definitely like to watch that if it ever comes around to Australian screens.

Christmas New Year and too much other things going on meant I missed the final of series Five (Colin Christie, Chip Kim, Nicole brandon one) .. i read the recap on television without pity but really want to see it. Anyone know where on the net I can find it??
I tried to google but must have been using the wrong words - many hits but couldn't find jsut what I wanted.

AMAZING RACE 5

here you go!

This Amazing Race is not as good as the last one. There are no delightfully hissable villains like Mirna and Shmirna. The only group I find really unlikable is the entranpenuer and his porn-star wife. He is moronic, abusive, and constantly blames his wife for his own mistakes. That being said, I hope he stays on for a while, becasue the show wouldn't be as interesting without him.

Thanks Mak, couldn't find the actual episode there but the interview bits were good

I have a copy of the episode. PM me if you're still interested in seeing it.

It's amazing how fast normally calm, rational human beings can be transformed into unstable jerks when they're put under stress.

Watching the participants interact with their partner and the other competitors is all part of the attraction for me.

Au contraire- I think everyone except for Kris and Jon are villians. Couldn't they pick some nice people rather than unstable jerks who blow up at each other every five seconds?

But then what would be the point of watching it. If everyone were friendly, got along with each other, then it wouldn't be as exciting. My favorite villain is Jonathon. He blames his wife for everything that goes wrong. In previews for the next episode, you see that Victoria, his wife, gets seriously injured and he just stands there like an idiot.

True, Eytank, part of the attraction is to see people interact and sometimes get extremely upset. However, I think they went way overboard this season- all you see is angry scenes and Jonathan the jerk. I keep watching it, and I keep hoping for the episode where a couple overcomes their petty problems and works like a team.

Unfortnently, the nicest group was last two episodes ago, so we prabaly won't see thgat. I speak of course of the father daughter team. They got along just fine. They kind of remind me of Chip and Kim, the couple that one last season (which was only like two months ago). They are both friendly, and they actually are influenced by what they see around them.

Yeah I find Jonathan really annoying and a complete idiot....I mean he could atleast show some compassion towards his wife. But you guys are right it does make the show more interesting.
I hope that Kris and Jon win. I don't think they have argued once...atleast not that I can remember.

I do like Kris and Jon myself. They have always been good sports and good team mates. I like Aaron but Hayden not so much. The models are okay too but she whines a little too much. Adam and Rebecca are fun to watch but she flip-flops too much about their relationship. If she really wanted things to be over between them she shouldn't have teamed up with him for the game. I started off liking Bolo and Lori but Lori lost some points with me when she called the task at the church "stupid". I found that comment to be disrespectful and when she did find the match to her pendant she didn't even thank the worshipper for the clue. I fear that it will not be nearly as exciting to watch now that Victoria and John are gone....

First episode tonight ... yay! (but please don't stop talking about it ... there is a spoilers warning for those of us behind!)

I like the sisters Lena and Kristy and the couple that got in first Hayden and Aaron and like everyone Johnathon is my villan. See I always want these people to do well for the entertainment value and to finish just outside of the money. So I hope he comes second.

I love the special little bits of editing that they do like when they are trying to work out what sort of fuel goes in the tank .... cut to the diesel sticker ... as they put in the petrol. hehe.

Last nights episode was pretty good. Although I was kind of disappointed it wasn't an elimination round...I wanted Adam and Rebecca to get out. But oh well. I hope Kris and Jon win!!

Know it's over for everyone in the US but I just have to say what a revolting man Johnathon is. You know at the start of every week and they show each couple at "home"? Johnathon is sitting there with his wife and dog and he leans over and kisses the dog. Speaks volumes, I think.

A new Amazing Race is starting March 1 which is this coming tuesday!!! I can't wait. It has Rob and Amber from survivor on it...which should be interesting.

Well, it took all of 15 minutes and I remembered why I didn't like Rob and Amber. Why the heck do they need another million bucks?? Amber's little speech about using it to settle down and buy a house was not endearing in view of her win on Survivor. Monday night, Nathan Zahn and Jenna were on Fear Factor. They didn't win but if they had, the money ($50,000) was going to charity.

I wish the two down home boys weren't eliminated, they were actually refreshing. Two regular guys off to see places they would never get to see ordinarily. The producers need more competitors like them.
