Amazing Race 16

I still can't believe there wasn't a penalty or at least a comment from Phil about the one team painting the wrong house!

Sad to see the lawyers go.



I was thinking the same myself, but I wonder how well they're going to do in, say Africa or Asia or when they have to eat some weird fish.

The Cowboys are hardcore...did very well for "not ever being on a soccer field"...the only thing that slowed them down a bit was the beer challenge...lol

 

[AirPo]

That was funny!

I did say they look like the team to beat and they're making me reconsider my caveat with every episode.

And Reperbahn always sounded funny to me when I lived in Germany.

 

[AirPo]

The detectives are really starting to grow on me.

 

[snoochface]

I can't stand the detectives. If I still drank, I would play a drinking game every time they say "baby" and get snoochfaced every Sunday night.

"I did it baby!"
"First place baby!"
"Champagne baby!"

"Shut the $%*^ up baby!!"
^^ me

All that said, I'm sorry that Jeff and Jordan are gone. I still think they are an adorable couple.

Me too... but, if they'd stayed in the race much longer it was only a matter of time before they caught a train for Switzerland when the task was located in Sweden. Or worse, got plane tickets to Switzerland when the clue said fly to Swaziland.

I keep waiting for some team to catch a flight to Austrailia instead of Austria.

Of the remaining, my three favorites are:

Cowboys
Cops
Coach and his daughter

Me, too. The cops don't bug me though!

In the beginning, Jordan asked for tickets to China instead of Chilie. Sweet but dumb!

 

[AirPo]

Has there ever been an episode with more moments?

 

[snoochface]

The lost coconuts were crazy.

I'm am SO over Brett (Brent?) and Caite. These two are so incredibly immature and mean. It almost guarantees they'll make it to the final three though.

I hope the cowboys can recover!

 

[AirPo]

I think only one out of five got it on the first try.

Yes, it amazed me that groups did not do a better job of double checking the site, especially after they moved the cart. I was glad to see it was a non-elimination leg; I think the show did a good job of placing those this race.

I too hope the cowboys find a way to recover. I was happy that Steve and Allison won this week, it has been nice seeing father and daughter bond.

I am ready for Brent & Caite to go home. I'm bothered not only by their immaturity (such as fighting and threatening to quit when faced with an obstacle, like being told that they didn't have all the coconuts) but also by their ignorance and making excuses for ignorance (like Caite saying, "we weren't the best students in school"). I heard a comment about how both of them seem typical of people who get by in life on looks alone, they just expect people to treat them special and take care of them, and have to agree that sounds about right. I also can't believe they went to the finish two weeks in a row without completing all the steps.

 

[AirPo]

What step did they miss this week? I remember the cowboys forgetting the map.

Not last week, it was the prior two weeks in France. The first week it was missing the clue (not going south) where it told them to ride the bicycles. The next week they were lost trying to find Taittinger La Marquetterie and followed the lesbians to the pit stop and, rather than realizing they weren't at the detour, they raced the lesbians to the map. Only then did they realize they hadn't finished the detour.

Though it is interesting (and probably an AR record) that three weeks in a row one of the teams went to the map without finishing all the steps.

I would also like to see the lesbian couple go. They are rude to each other and some of the other teams. I so wish for a really nice team to win whether it's the cowboys, the father daughter team or even the detectives.

 

[AirPo]

Can you believe what she said when they turned around to go back.

"You must have thrown one over the wagon."

Somehow I don't see them together much longer. Since the show already finished taping, maybe they've already broken up.

PS. I wish they had a reunion show like Survivor. Wouldn't that be interesting?!

 

[snoochface]

I'd love to see a reunion show. They usually have the final three or four teams on The Early Show after the finale, and they used to have the eliminated team on the next day but I haven't seen them at all this season.
