The Amazing Race 9

Recommended Posts

I actually think they've been the best "old" team in nine races.

In what sense? They missed clues, they constantly picked the worst Detour option, and they were continually bitching about how far behind they were. They were lucky they weren't eliminated in the first leg.

 

No, give me Teri and Ian for racing ability (particularly in the second half of their race) and Dave and Margueretta for sheer likability.

Hmm, yes, I take it back. I think Family Edition plus the annoying ones from 7 have dulled my memory.

 

Teri and Ian... you know, I have no idea how they managed to win three legs. Mind you, that was the season where Zach almost singlehandedly won the Race, so it was a weird on to say the least.

Sometimes. But, there are four teams remaining, and the finale is on the 17th. Three weeks, four teams, four (or three, if the finale is an uberleg) legs.

 

Assuming that we'll have three teams left for the 2-hour finale, the fourth place team need to be gone this week or next, and two non-elims in a row would not be fun viewing.

So.....does Joseph hate the Hippies? I don't think he brought it up at all this week.

 

MoJo is going to crash and burn sometime because A) they suck with directions and B) the other three teams are too strong. Plus, they're just so fucking grumpy. Hey Joe, just look how your well girlfriend fills a tank top and smile already.

Rudo's posts pretty much summed up the ending there. Great ep in all ways. Phil's reaction to the whip, cancelling cab dramah~, the Monica/Fratboy thing, everything about the Yield. Not to mention all the awesome from Rolanda.

 

"Black people wouldn't do that." *pause, looks at camera, pause* "...Or would they?"

"Maybe for a million dollars"

 

That ending was probably the craziest finish to a leg, unless I'm forgetting something major. A three-way footrace, dramatic stuff. The editing was done so well, I'm impressed.

 

So who's the frontrunner? And who does everyone want to win? I am now actively cheering for Ray and Yolanda, though all the teams are pretty entertaining.

I think the Frats are the frontrunners. They've won 5 of 9 legs so far, so you can't call them underdogs. I'll be happy if they or the Hippies win.

 

Ray and Yolanda are much like Yuchena and Joyce in how they were under the radar for a while and were solid enough to let the other teams make mistakes which puts them ahead by default.

I think that they're actually weaker than the Bong Squad but this leg shows that anything can happen when you don't make mistakes. I'm not saying that they're undeserving of their position but in previous legs they got by on their athleticism but this leg they put it all together.

 

Jeremy talking with Yolanda at the Roadblock was pretty funny.

 

Jeremy (to Eric): Have fun. Hope your chute opens dude!

 

Tyler: The last one of these three teams will be last.

The final three is set.....and I don't know who the fuck is gonna win. Loved MoJo completely fucking themselves right off the bat at the bus terminal and then taking the pot-carrying Detour just because the other teams are doing the other (and far easier) task.

In truth, it was the correct decision - the other teams had a lead so the odds of gaining ground were slim. You know you're last, so you have nothing to lose by switching tasks.

 

I'm happy that three teams that I like are racing to the end. And it looks like they're finishing in either Alaska or somewhere in the midwest/northeast, jusging by the snow...

According to the spoilers I've seen, the route for next week's finale is:

 

Thailand > Japan > Alaska > Denver

 

I'm OK with E&J winning. If the Hippies win, I'll throw up in my mouth a little. Or a lot.
