The Amazing Race 5 Returns

Recommended Posts

Yeah, Chip is a MACHINE.

 

The only team that really bothers me is the vertically challenged one.

Charla, when she's not using her independence catchphrase, is actually a pretty good racer. Mirna is insanely annoying...

Chip blasting through the bowl of caviar while the others complained and cried about it = moment of the episode so far.

Defintely. Great to see them finally in first for once.

 

And which one is mirna, which is Charla? I forget lol..but I know the tall one, I would have to fucking kill. It was funny to see how they go at it with the brothers.

Charla's the midget.

Solid episode. Didn't want to see Bob and Joyce go, but it would've really sucked if the models got eliminated because Nicole passed out from the fish eggs.

 

So is ANYONE going to use the Yield? Does it even still exist? And when the hell is the Fast Forward going to show up?

I'm happy that both Nicole and Christie's teams made it. I swear, Mirna is the only person to make me physically come within two inches of punching my TV. If I were racing against her, I'd be too busy throttling her with my bare hands to pay attention to the race.

Does anybody else laugh when the other teams say 'Oh great Mirna and Shmirna are here' ? I get a kick out of it because everyone is so annoyed that those two are still in it.

They should be. Hell, I'm annoyed they're still in it.

I'm sure it'll eventually be used, but hopefully the lack of usage tells the producers to dump it.

 

My pet theory is that the Fast Forwards will show up for the (non-final 3,) non-elimination legs.

 

Oh, and the Twinkies ALMOST hugged. Sorry Parka.

I hope next week that transportation is not the determining factor on who comes in last. Past 3 weeks have been anti-climactic with transportation pretty much deciding early on who is going to be eliminated (Alison/Donny taking a bus instead of cab, Jim/Marsha & Bob/Joyce getting late flights). The roadblocks have had hardly any impact.

Alison and Donny lost because they made a poor decision wrt taxi or cab (but that's not the real disagreement here). But constant Philiminations with one team very far behind is anti-climatic, I agree. With the Bowling Moms and Twinkies having a substantial lead, you knew that Team Lava Life was done.

 

Having said that though, major long-haul transportation is critical to continued success (and life) in the Race. So I can't complain too much when a team screws up and ends up way behind the others. Especially when Team Midget manages to find a great flight and end up in the middle of the pack instead of at the back.

It was a half-hug. And not very sexy, in that Blue Twin looked like she was about to die or something.

 

I must say, that caviar roadblock was absolutely hilarious. Colin going nuts on Christie, Nicole almost passing out, and Chip just blasting past everyone. That was great. I can't stand Colin the Douche and Mr God Hates Vodka, so I was glad to see their teams take a little hit. "Punish that caviar!" was a very funny line. Also, Colin saying "I'm so proud of her" while looking completely homicidal.

 

It's interesting comparing Bob and Joyce with some of the other couples. Did they even have one disagreement? Meanwhile, we have Colin spazzing out at caviar, God Boy making every decision, and Allison and Donny screaming at each other to the bitter end.

The old couples and the gay couples seem to always be the most peaceful ones.

The old couples, sure. DEFINITELY not the gay ones. Other than Cha-Cha-Cha in season 2, the gay couples have been pretty nasty.

Yeah, noone seemed to like Team Guido, from what I understand (never watched TAR 1... what was I thinking?).

 

Cha-Cha-Cha is quite possibly the most popular team from all the seasons.

 

I don't think there was a gay team in TAR 3, but half of Kenny G was, so I suppose that will have to do. They're pretty popular as well.

 

Chip and Reichen... worst winning team ever. I say team because Zach earned every single bit of his $500K. We all know who didn't earn her half. Anyways, these guys talked about breaking stereotypes about as much as Charla does. Yep, they're not just alpha males - they're GAY alpha males. Way to go, guys.

 

This year... no gay team and no alpha males. Although if the twins were lesbians would anybody object?

 

Also, Colin saying "I'm so proud of her" while looking completely homicidal.

I'm having trouble deciding whether Colin is Steve Buscemi creepy, or Chris Benoit intense...

Well, unless theres some miracle, the Bowling Moms are gone, as they are stuck in Russia for the rest of the night while the other teams are on the way to Egypt.

 

Er..there was some sort of miracle or something, I guess.

Unless something miraculous happens, looks like the losing team will be determined within the first 20 minutes of the show AGAIN.

From what it looks like...a 'miracle' has happened. Looks like they're getting on a flight that'll arrive at the same time most of the others will.

And Mr. Intensity has managed to find an even BETTER flight. Good stuff...

Not when there's only two. If you've got the chance, use it.

 

(edit) although, having said that, this is probably a non-elimination leg...
