I don't know why they included kids in this one.

Kids?

LAME.

 

[Jersey Girl]

It's supposed to be the family Amazing Race. I think it's lame, too. Why mess with a good thing?

 

[Mike Olbinski]

I think it will be kind of fun...

I love TAR, but not looking forward to this episode.

That's just because you didn't get your way, MM and I aren't in it.

But you can still sign up for the next one....

Keep dreamin' boy!

Keep dreamin' boy!

Ahh shucks....

 

[KingofCards]

Should be 18 and older.


Who wants to see a whiny little kid argue with his/her parents?

 

[Angel]

I don't want to see them have to tone down the competitions to an appropriate level for an 8 year old. It is either that or have them sit on the side lines during the action

There is a certain friendly cutthroatness about AR that shouldn't involve children that young. I can take the larger groups, it will be harder to keep track, but can take a miss on the kiddie cuteness.

I watched it tonight.

SPOILERS*****************:az21












After the first 30 minutes the kids and the women chilled out and it wasn't as annoying as I thought it would be.

Looks like it might be a road trip across America?

It was pretty crazy when the one lady got ran over by the buggy, after her husband had been killed by being run over by a nascar.

Luckily she was ok.

It was too bad the Black family lost. I liked them. I was hoping the Linz family or the family that boo'ed Yankee Stadium would have been out.

I like the Italian family from Jersey. Their kid was the only one to recognized the bald guys from Season 1.

***************


ok the blondes are loud annoying as is the Weaver family that almost got their mother killed with the buggy. They dumped the shelf in the sporting goods store & just kept walking. I wish anyone to lose who does that girly, high shrill pitch scream.

I felt bad for the Blacks. They seemed to be a good family. The dad & the daughters crack me up - they call therir dad "Wally" & "Walder"

The girl from the Rogers family from LA have a smoking hot daughter. I think she was Miss LA.

I'm pretty sure this one appears to be a road trip in America & Central America

 

[Russ Smith]

OK I have to admit we laughed out loud when they first introduced the black family until we realized it was their last name not that they were a "black family". I too liked them, the kids seemed to take it pretty hard.

I want the New york family out next, very annoying especially the arguing with the mom and the youngest son, if I want that I'll watch Growing Up Gotti.

So far it seems ok with the families.

Maybe I should have watched it passed 30 minutes then, becuase I turned it off. Plus the whole road trip across america thing just isnt very exciting.

I will take a pass for this year.

 

[Mike Olbinski]

We're not watching it either...

[MadCardDisease]

It was actually pretty good once you got past the first half hour of screaming women. Why is it when you have more than 2 women together it turns into a screaming and giggling fest.

I want the family that lost their father out. They annoy the crap out of me. I laughed when the little girl out ran the entire family. I'm rooting for the little girls family!

 

[Kel Varnsen]

LOL. Me too. I tuned in late and heard one of the families say "it's just us and the black family". That was pretty funny when I realized that they weren't being jerks.

 

[KingofCards]

I think the "Black" family thing was hilarious. Too bad they got out so early.


When Phil said at the start of tonight, I almost died laughing. It is like an Eddie Murphy skit from SNL.

I think if they don't kick out the brooklyn family next week I'm going to stop watching. The constant arguing with the kids and the mom is just too much to handle, like fingernails on a chalkboard. They've been nearly last twice already I'm hoping they are dead last next time.

I also am getting fed up with the 3 girls and the dad team, dad can't keep up, wait for dad, so who do they send to look for the person with the briefcase, of course dad.

I'm not sure which genius said it but one girl during the Civil war thing with muskets going off said "it's like being in the middle of the Civil War." Hello, it's a civil war re-enactment!

So far this is the worst Amazing Race.

 

[KingofCards]

One of the girls in the 3 girls with the Dad team is hot though. I do think there Dad is a woose though.

We call that Brooklyn team "The Stupids" they will be out soon.

I am hoping they head to Phoenix, it was cool on the Amazing Race that ended at Papago Park, and went to SDS.

 

[Angel]

I don't recall ever wanting a team to be ELIMINATED as badly as I do those Brooklynites, I am so tired of their bickering and eye rolling. I really thought that was their last leg.

I like the sisters, if they could just stop screaming and surprisingly I also like the team with the younger rug rats too, singing "She'll be coming around the mountain" while being pushed in that Amish buggy was a hoot, and the Father/Son-in-Law team.

I agree that this is not the best race ever run but I am such an Amazing Race junkie that I am still enjoying it.

I think we are the only ones watching it.

I thought it was cool that team won free gas for life. My wife said that was better than winning the million.

Is this an all-US race?

I was trying to compute just how much that is, seems like there's gotta be some stipulations to stop you from taking all your friends to Arco for free gas too.

Huntsville was kind of funny. Lucy and I were watching some show on Travel channel where the guy was eating catfish and hushpuppies and I said to Lucy when I went to Huntsville for work, that's all everyone tried to get me to eat. So 2 hours later, they're in Huntsville. I gotta say if any of the teams had got lost there I'd have lost all respect for them, you can't imagine an easier area to get around in for an out of town person, seems like everything came off of 2 highways, I'm terrible at sense of direction and even I didn't need more than the map that came in the rental car.
