The Amazing Race; One of the better reality shows I think

Anyone else watch the Amazing Race.. I think we're on season 10 now, its on tonight actually lol... I personally think its one of the better reality shows, plus its fun to watch people argue with each other about nothing :lol: Right now in this season I think I like the blonde girls best, they've been getting along really well, and they may be beauty queens but they are smart and know what they're doing, they could be the first all female team to win, maybe? Idk, lol, anyone else watch it?

I really like The Amazing Race. Personally, it's my favorite reality show. I absolutely love seeing different places around the world, and I love how a lot of the road blocks and such things are activities indigenous to the places where they are visiting. It's stuff a normal tourist wouldn't necessarily see, too, which makes it even better.

My favorite team this season is definitely the Cho brothers, Erwin and Godwin. I think they might be too nice to win, sadly. :( They never argue, though, and they're giving to the other teams more than any other team I have ever seen in the history of the race. Unfortunately, in this competition being giving is usually a negative. Still, I hope they do well.

Dish, I did like the beauty queens, until last week when they made a racial stereotype crack about Asians to Erwin and Godwin, and then this week they made some stereotype about Finland. Turned me against them really quickly. :(

Yes, those stereotypes did kinda piss me off, but I'd rather have them win than some others, like, definately Alabama, the two guys and the couple that fight all the time. The Chos are my favorite team now too! I'd rather them win than the girls now.. they're super nice, I agree, they are always so kind to everyone even though no one else is being nice to them, for example, stupid team Alabama who gets pissed at everyone for things they do, and then does worse things than that.. like, cutting in line for the cabs. Erwin and Godwin would never do that! I hope it doesnt hurt them too much, it would be nice to see if you can be kind, run a super fair race, and still win. :yes:

I agree, its really neat to see the world, but they do it in a good way, Phil always makes sure you know whats going on, they dont drag out scenes, and the competition, to me, is a lot more entertaining and interesting to watch than other things like Survivor.

The family one? Wow, that one is from a while ago.. that was... 8? We're on 10 right now. The family one is pretty good but its a lot different and hard to get used to.. its a good race though :yes: thats so weird that the tv schedule is different! :blink:

Yay! Cho brothers rule! :yay:

Alabama did kind of tick me off in this last one, just because the Cho's have been soooooooooooo helpful to them but they're not willing to be helpful back, but then again it is a race so I can't be too critical of them, lol.

It is more interesting than Survivor. Aside from the variety it offers (instead of the same people sitting on the same beach for 39 days), the people that ultimately win are really the ones that could do the tasks the fastest, not just who can manipulate the most, which is rather refreshing.

Yeah, I think Dish is right, that it was 2 seasons ago. But, meh, I actually disliked the family edition. That was the only season of The Amazing Race that I didn't really like. I mean, I'd been to half the places they traveled to in real life, so it wasn't like I was seeing anything new in the world, which is a large part of why I watch the show. Aside from that there were just far too many people for me to become invested in or care for any of them. But, I dunno, since your in Australia it probably won't have the "been there, done that" feel it did for me. :laugh:

How can we be two season behind!? Gah! We got the last one at the same time as the US!

Maybe we skipped the family one and have back to it?

The last one we had before the family one.... umm... who won? Geez, I can't remember! Ah!

Haha, when she did that I was like, "Ooh, they better win now or you just did that for nothing!" :laugh: I think I'd rather like it, actually. I've always wanted to do it once just to see what it was like, but never had the guts. At least that way I'd have an excuse.

At least they weren't like those stupid models, like, a season or two before them that refused to shave their heads and then got eliminated. Seriously, it's a million dollars. Just shave your head. :laugh:

:laugh: I remember them, the curly haired guy and his girlfriend, right? Stupid people lol.

My least favorite team in all of the races - Team Guido, from one of the very very early ones, two gay men. (just to make sure i have no prejudice or anything at all of that sort! they were not nice people which is why i didnt like them). They were mean and stuck up the entire race, and then, they went for the fast forward in the final four leg and got it, but they were so arrogant they lazed around all day and just did nothing bc they figured they had all the time in the world, :lol: and then they got to Phil and he's like, "you're the last team to arrive" they wouldve been elminated if it werent for a team with a penalty lol. This put them so far behind, they were still in like Alaska, a day behind, when the winning team crossed the finish line, and never even got to finish the race or be in the picture :rotfl: It was the best ever. Ok sry I will stop ranting now. :lol:

I remember that. :laugh: Was the first season. That poor mother and daughter got eliminated because they couldn't find a car that was hidden for them in some area of... wherever they were, lol. I couldn't believe Team Guido just sat around in a hotel all day!!! :laugh: Like, I understand that they were waiting for a train, which was cheaper, and then all the other teams took cabs that got them there way faster, but I just was like, "Idiots!!! It's a race! Take the freaking cab!" :laugh:

Edit: Ah! That was season 9... so we've gone backwards? Buh? *hits channel 7*

Ooh, weird, yeah, the one where the hippies won was the one right after the family edition. :blink: Weird. Maybe since the ratings for the family one were lower they didn't want to show it, but then decided to anyway? I don't know. *shrug*

At least you're on the path to see them all now. :hug:

:laugh: I LOVED the hippies. it was so great when they won. Lol except I accidently ruined it for my teacher when I told her...

:cry: :cry: **The chos! they were eliminated!!!! ** omg im so sad. team alabama sucks. they need to leave.. they dont deserve the final four, I think. Right now out of those four I want the Beauty Queens to win, I think, it would be cool for the first all female team to win the race :yes:
