It was so sad!!! :cry: Gah, I was so mad when the Chos waited for Alabama. I mean, they were the last two teams, there was no way it could help them!!! I just... gah!

Seriously, those two were the nicest people to ever run the race. :laugh:

Alabama ticked me off last night!!! I mean, they were totally mooching off the Chos and following them, and then they were complaining the whole time about how the Chos did stuff! Now, admittedly, the Chos did seem to stop a LOT for directions, but if Alabama didn't like it then they could have gone off on their own. If they wanted to just let the Chos drag them along, then stop complaining about the way they do it!!!

Okay, sorry, needed to vent.

I guess I want the male models to win at this point, even though it does tick me off when the team of two healthy young guys wins (it's just too predictable). But, gah, the beauty queens seem to find something to say every episode that makes them sound elitist at best, racist at worst, Alabama ticked me off last night (which I already rambled about), and the couple are always arguing so much, they seem to hate each other and really shouldn't be together. *sigh* At least those male models are friendly and seem to get along with each other really well.

Did you see the last one?

The beauty queens are now in dead last! :o and Alabama did really well!! I decided I'd be happy with either the blondes or the two guys, right, but ALABAMA?? I'd rather Rob and Kim (blech) win than them! I hate Alabama, they really tick me off :yes:

Its getting excited now that its down to the final four.. I just really hope Alabama screws it up and gets eliminated. I mean, sure, the blondes yeilded them, but it was a footrace and there was no one else to yield! And Alabama knows they would've done the same exact thing. Stop complaining already, lol. I agree. They were total moochers, and huge hypocrites.

Ooh, Alabama ticked me off so much in this last episode. I mean, they kept talking about how they were going to yield the blondes, they knew they were going to do it, and then they got all mad when the blondes yielded them! Then they were like, "That just shows what kind of people they are." Gah! 1) They were going to do it to the blondes, and 2) it's a race! They're just doing what they need to win. *grumble grumble* And then the one flipped off the blondes. That just wasn't called for. *sigh* I can't believe they got second. They're really lucky, though, cuz the couple's car kept breaking down. Seriously, that team would do a lot better if they could just get a car to stay together. :laugh:

:laugh: It seems like its always the cars that get teams - whether breaking down or getting lost. I mean think about how well some teams would do if they would just get directions down, the tasks would be a piece of cake - I think the most important thing to be able to do in the Race comes down to navigation, not freaking out when your car breaks, and like not freaking out in general (an impossible feat, at least, for me :))

Yeah, I know! The flipped her off, what was that for? I HATE them lol.. from what we've seen on the race, they're not good players of this game, or nice ones. I think it takes a combination of both... niceness but also competitiveness. Like, the Chos were amazingly nice, but it was TOO nice. You have to be fair, but also, sometimes realize its a race and go for it.

We'll see what happens tomorrow night... *anxious* Alabama better get back into elimination or last place :yes: I'd be so angry if they got in the final 3.

Hehe, yeah, often it's not challenges that get teams eliminated, it's what flight they get on, whether they're able to find the challenge, whether their car breaks down... whether they're detained by local authorities, lol. There are a lot of teams over the years that would have done much better if there were no traveling. :laugh:

Cha, they were really obnoxious in this last episode. Wow, the next one is tomorrow, isn't it? Doesn't seem like a whole week since I saw the last one, but I guess it is, lol.

I would like Alabama to get eliminated tomorrow, and there's probably a good chance they will, they usually are slower at things than the rest of the remaining teams, but the beauty queens are marked for elimination, so it'll be interesting to see how that plays out. :yes:

*feels a bit out of touch* The last season we had was the family one, I didn't follow it a lot, though. I only tuned in to hear one of the best theme songs EVER! :lol:

I've loved that song since I first heard it. :wub:

One of my favourite teams over the past few years was twins, male models or something.

:wave: Hey Su! Yeah sorry me and Tomb kinda went on a tangent there :) we REALLY dislike team Alabama.. :lol:

OMG the theme song is really good, I totally agree! I always make my dad let it play whenever we tivo it, instead of going past it like all the commercials.

I THINK i recall a team of male models that were twins.. I prolly liked them too :yes:

The family one was ehh, next time you get one though thats back to teams of two, you should watch! its fun :yes:

The theme song is amazing. For some reason when I try to sing it it always turns into the Mission Impossible theme, though. :rolleyes: I can hear it in my head! Gah! It's like when I used to try to sing the theme song to Alfred Hitchcock Presents and it turned into the theme from Leave It to beaver (I can do that one correctly now, though). Okay, I'm just weird with theme songs. Moving on...

The twin male models, weren't they from the very first season? The team that won? I could be wrong about that, though...

AHHHHHH TOMBBBBBBBBBB

Blondes are out!! :censored: AHHHHHH!!! :banghead: NOOOOOOO

Ok. I can get over it... I'm sad but... the worst part...

ALABAMA IS IN THE FINAL THREE!!!??? WTF??? NOOOOO why do they get to be the first all female team in the final three??? They're some of the meanest people to ever run the race!!! Omg. They totoally, totally, did not deserve that at all.

The two guys, they better win. Rob and Kim.. they fight too much. And Alabama sucks.

Omg. This leg was awful.

Ok.. rant over lol. :cry:

:hug: I'm sorry Dish. :hug: We'll pull through this together.

Yeah, I can't believe that Alabama is the first all-female team in the final three. :blink: When Phil said that I was like, "Them?!?!" *sigh*

I was pretty surprised that the blondes came in last. I thought they might come in second or third and still get eliminated because they were marked for elimination, but I was pretty surprised when they came in last.

Yeah, I totally want the guys to win now. Although, even if Rob and Kim won I wouldn't really be sad... they do fight too much, but compared to some teams who have run the race in the past they're saints, lol. I think it's more that they're not really compatible when under pressure, rather than that they're bad people. But, yeah, I really want the male models to win. They've been nice to people, but have kept in mind that it's all a race. They work well together. Yeah, I definitely want them to win. :yes:

Go models! Go models! :yay:

Ooh, that ending was awesome. :yes: It was cool, because all the teams were in first at some point! Although, they tried to edit it so that the ending was suspenseful, although it was pretty obvious that the models were going to win. Still, was great. Alabama was so far behind on the plane, I wonder if they even made them do the tasks when they got to New York or let them go directly to the pit stop. :laugh:

Ooh, All Stars... you think they'd put Rob and Amber back in it? You gotta admit, they're the two most famous people from that show... is interesting...

I def. think Rob and Amber will be back.. lol not only were they the most famous but also the most like.. controversial? like how they would skip tasks and take penalties and kinda mix it up a bit. I really, really did not like them... but they were interesting to watch... I think it would be cool to have them back, they offered like.. a different way to play lol. And itll be fun to see old teams I both love or despise :lol:

Maybe I'm weird, but Rob and Amber never bothered me. I mean, I don't think I'd particularly want to know them in real life (especially Rob), but it's all a game so I can't really be upset that they did whatever they could to win. Plus, they really stuck together as a team and rarely got mad at each other. The teams I really dislike are the ones that are just constantly arguing with each other (my least favorite team ever was the one where the guy pushed his wife). But, Rob and Amber were fun to watch, I thought. Like, when Rob had the idea for the people in the front of a bus to bribe the bus driver to only open the front door and not the back one so the teams in the front would have a lead. He put in his five bucks (or whatever it was), then got the same amount from all the other teams in the front of the bus. But, before he went to the driver to bribe him he took his money out so that he was only bribing with the other teams money. That was hilarious! :laugh: (What can I say, watching too much reality TV gives you a skewed vision of morality. :blink: ) Hehe, that was funny when Rob refused to eat that huge pile of meat. What was even better was that he was able to convince other teams to give up, too! :laugh: That guy really knows how to play people. But, it worked out. None of the teams that waited at that task were eliminated that round. :yes:

:dance2: :yay: Guess what, everyone?!

The Amazing Race All-Stars is on on Sunday!!!!!! :party:

I'm really excited for this new season. i think itll be fun to watch old teams running the race, you dont need to know them again, you can just remember them and see old rivalries turn up. :D Not to mention, because they want t spice it up a bit, the race will have some new interesting twists :) which should be good.

I'm really glad the Beauty Queens are running again.. I was sad to see them go from last season.
