The Amazing Race 6

Recommended Posts

The Mormon Tittay was fantabulous. Lena has the best rack in the history of reality tv and I challenge somebody to find one better.

The blonde from Joe Schmoe 1?

 

Interesting ep this week. I love all the fighting, as the couples are all retarded. The Douche is so delightfully insane, had to love the scene at the Viking Village, with the Mormon Hotties laughing at him. Good times.

 

I also hope that female jobber gets more and more aggressive with Phil. Possibly a backdrop suplex at some point.

Only the second Amazing race series I have seen this one thanks to the joys of just getting broadband. Some thoughts -Jonathon is without a doubt the biggest fuck up I have ever seen on any reality show ever. This episode I was like lets see how long it takes before he starts to annoy me, it took aboput 20 seconds. His wife is kinda hot though even if she is a total doormat. Thanks to the Norse gods for the rain whilst mormon blonde chick is in a low cut vest. I like argueing and drama but there is probably a bit to much here, every couple is bitching at each other every 5 seconds. I was laughing my head off at the two NY girls stuggling without automatic gears in their car. Thats what you Yanks get for relying on puny auto and driving on the wrong side of the road. Its what cost them which was a pity as I liked them and the other NY team that went last week. I like the new rule that each racer can only complete 6 challenges as it stops some coed teams who just rely on the guy to do all the challenges.

 

Like I said only one series of this has been shown in the UK the 4th so i have missed loads can anyone help me out with these two questions ?

 

1. Who is Flo ? she seems to be the most ridiculed contestent in amazing race history with contestants on other amazing races and people who recap the show taking the piss out of her all the time. What did she do ?

 

 

2. Has any team with old people or one old person ever got really far into a race ? they just seem to fill a demographic and the inevatble happens to them fairly quickly from what i have seen.

Flo. "Shut up" Flo is the worst person ever. Whiny, useless, threw tantrums all over the place, completely gave up at one point (only to be saved by the joys of non-elimination). Her partner basically carried her on his back the entire race, and they won. Well, Zach really won, since Flo did jackshit besides making lovey eyes at one of the other competitors. Ugh.

 

2. Has any team with old people or one old person ever got really far into a race ? they just seem to fill a demographic and the inevatble happens to them fairly quickly from what i have seen.

 

From the same race as Flo IIRC, the token old couple made the top three. I actually liked them by the end of the race, and would much rather have had them win over useless stupid Shut Up Flo.

I have only one solution: Empirical study.

The old people ended up finishing second.

Just checking the website, and they don't have the new rule for Roadblock in the Glossary yet. It does appear, though, that the Yield isn't available for all the legs this time around (although it's still around). Which is a shame, since the teams could take turns Yielding Assclown and Victoria until they're eliminated.

If so, they haven't changed that in the Glossary, either.

 

EDIT: Was I the only one who was amused to find out the next leg has a task in an Ikea?

Interview with Team Brooklyn from TV Guide

Amazing Race's Brooklyn Bombers

by Ethan Alter

 

Someone's always got to be the first eliminated on The Amazing Race (Tuesdays, 10 pm/ET on CBS). Two weeks ago, that "honor" fell to Brooklyn boys Avi and Joe. Here, the duo explain their globe-trotting strategy, pick their favorites and take an obligatory swipe at the New York Yankees.

 

TV Guide Online: As a fellow Brooklynite, I've gotta say, you let our borough down!

Joe: We know, and we've had three months to accept it. But we'd do it again tomorrow, even with the same results. All I'll say is that it's a good thing we grew up hardcore Mets fans. Besides being predetermined to disappointment, thanks to the Yankees, we're now only the second-worst choke job by a New York team this year. (Laughs)

 

TVGO: Was there an interborough rivalry going on between you and the Queens girls, Maria and Meredith?

Avi: We got along great with them. Remember that scene in the premiere where we pull up next to them in the car? What they didn't show is that Maria gave me the finger. It was cool, because that's how New Yorkers are. It's almost like saying hello. I actually watched the premiere with them and I'm going to see the next episode with them as well. They're both Yankees fans, so we've got the whole borough and baseball rivalry going.

 

TVGO: Let's talk strategy. Why did you opt for the slower Detour, then take back roads to the pit stop?

Avi: There's a couple of things you don't see on the show. First of all, Joe sprained his wrist before we left on the race. Since we're both big fans of the show, we knew that anyone who gets injured on the race gets eliminated. So we figured that since we had a big lead, we didn't have to choose a challenge that might hurt his wrist. We also chose the iceberg search because it was located right across the street from the clue box, while the ice climb was 35 miles away. You don't know at the time whether its 35 miles closer to the pit stop or 35 miles further away. As for the back roads thing, according to the map, the roads rejoined the highway at the road the Blue Lagoon was on. Unfortunately, the map really wasn't to scale and it didn't show that the roads went up into the mountains. So at certain points we had to slow down and even stop.

 

TVGO: Iceland seemed like a difficult country to navigate anyway.

Joe: Yeah, they're not very big on signs in that country.

Avi: Like in Brooklyn, there's only one main road. We've got the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn and they've got the Ring Road in Iceland. But the Ring Road ain't no Belt Parkway.

Joe: Highway 1 would split off into two other 1's. At one point, we actually stopped and asked directions and they looked at us — two guys with matching orange backpacks who obviously don't belong — and they're like, "Tell me, you are on that show? You are racing for a million dollars, right?"

 

TVGO: Is Jonathan as annoying in real life as he is on the show?

Avi: I would say twice as annoying.

Joe: If CBS wanted to build the ultimate reality contestant, they should put Jonathan's head on Lori's body. And then you have that sing, "New York Jews in Iceland!" Actually, Jonathan's been very good to us. He was very concerned for us the first time he saw us after our elimination. And he treated my wife and [me] to a lovely day at his spa a few weeks ago. But let me put it this way: Victoria should be up for sainthood, and this is coming from a Jew.

 

TVGO: Did you bond with any of the teams?

Joe: Aaron and Hayden were very cool to us. We had kind of clicked with them a little bit on the boat, on the way to the starting line. We overheard that Aaron knew Chicago very well. As soon as we got our bags, they actually waited for us to join them! Beyond that, we got along well with everybody. We had a really great cast. I mean Bolo and Lori are great characters. You know, Bolo's a surprising guy — with a neck that thick, he actually can turn that thing left and right. You wouldn't expect that, looking at him. We were a little surprised that a guy with rubber bands in his head came in ahead of us. We like Rebecca and Adam and were rooting for them a bit, being the other Jewish team. But c'mon, we killed ourselves for six weeks shopping at L.L. Bean and this guy shopped at Staples to prepare!

 

TVGO: Since you're such big fans of the show, did you have to keep pinching yourselves to make sure you weren't dreaming?

Joe: Absolutely. When we were in the tent on that glacier, I was like, "Avi, do you realize that we're holding an Amazing Race clue in our hands?" What an incredible opportunity. You have the chance to go on an amazing adventure, all expenses paid, and you get four times the prize money of The Apprentice without having to kiss Trump's tuchus.

 

TVGO: If you ran the race over, what would you do differently?

Joe: I would bring a taller partner because now the midget gimmick has failed twice.

Avi: I would take Joe's advice to heart and follow the tuchus.

It makes me wish these guys were still in the Race, and not Assclown or Hellboy.

This show should win an Emmy if only just for the camera angle they use when Hayden opens a clue tonight. Zoom zoom zoom-a zoom.

 

Gus is going to just keel over one of these weeks. He and Hera used their smarts taking the bus to the boat, though.

Wow, rough episode. That counting one must have been brutal. And Lena rolling 100 hay barrells in 8 hours? That's just such bad luck for them. Phil even had to do the dreaded on-site elimination.

 

Jonathan actually showed some concern from Victoria during the hay thing. Shocking.

 

I think Rebecca is the cutest girl left. I think Bolo is actually a fairly nice guy. I think the Token Old Couple are great (the old man reminds me of Kansas City Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil). I like Gus and Hera. I hate the generic models who suck (Freddy and whoever?). I shall miss Lena's tits.

Wow. I think that might have been one of the most painful eliminations EVER on TAR. Such a shitty way to get eliminated, because of dumb luck. EIGHT HOURS of bad luck. OUCH.

 

But at least they kept going, unlike Marshall and Lance.

 

 

 

Oh yeah, and did anyone else catch Hera drinking her shot when Gus was throwing his?

Well, I suppose that these are the last Lena and Kristy shots I'll be posting. BTW, the panties/nylons Lena had under her track pants was rather unflattering. I'm just saying...

Arggghh that was a nightmare ending to a great episode. The two hot Mormons what were they third going into that roadblock ? that is some bullshit to go out on a luck based challenge like that [and to stick at it for hours in the dark after you know you are finished anyway :( ].

 

Running out of teams I like now. Gus and Hera are probably my favourites because they get lost alot and he can't run for shit but they just smoke all the challenges and catch up. Bolo and Lori are fun and are growing on me but the old couple are annoying me now, his begging the Ikea girl to let them cheat because they are old wasent good and there is just something about her that bugs me. The fuck up and his wife can stick around as the heel team as at least they register unlike the three model\acting teams who I swear after three episodes i still would'nt be able to put names to faces except for Hayden with the cleavage.

 

Biggest wtf moment was when it looked like Jonathan was gonna smack Victoria in the back of the taxi. That is one fucked up couple, entertaining in a car crash way though.
