Anyone else watch "The Amazing Race"..?

bucsfan67 · Aug 24, 2004

Man, i love this show...gotta be my favorite show on TV right now....

These people are vicious trying to get around the world for a million dollars....true colors really come out....

Tonight the one guy almost gets arrested cuz he only wanted to pay 50.00 for the cab, not 100.00, and the cabbie got the police.....

The stunts they have to do are far better than say survivor, or fear factor, they are not as gross, just basically adventures....you have to use your brain as much as your strength, and they film this thing great, you feel like you are following every team at every moment...

Just wondered if anyone else enjoys this show as much as i do.....i know its the 5th one, so someone must be watching, but ratings are higher this time, than any of the others, i heard on some show yesterday, its turning into a hit....

YOu know,,its a good show,,, I dont like some of their Editing tactics at times,,,, but hey,,its for tv,,,so I gotta cut some slack,,,

that guy is a HUGE RETARD,,,,, what a feaking AZZZZZ you take the police chief in the bakc room and tell his azz,,,, I will make a donation to the police dept for 50.00$$$ and see if he takes it,,,,

away from all the eyes,,,,, just a HUGE DUMMMASS
if he says No,,then you offer 25 to the HOUSE and 50 to the Cabbie,,,, explaining How YOU had to change the Dam TIRE,,,these guys are reasonable,,, they just want A buck,,,, throw Em a BONE of reasonability and you will get a Freaking Mile of Leaverage,,,

and yes Im speaking from experience,,, My ex is from Trinidad and Tobago,,,we went there 50 times in 9 years,,,,

yeah i thought it was kinda dumb to argue over 50.00 when you are about 3 episodes away from a million, but some people are that stubborn..

At least watching this show, i dont think the events are staged, i think its all real...the reactions, and stuff are just too real....

You see how the black couple that are so nice, are doing well, cuz they treat the whole thing like an adventure, and take a minute to enjoy it....and it comes back to them...

I hated seeing the midget and her cousin get eliminated...that little lady did more than half the men on the show, and they were tough....was just too hard on her to run, they always fell behind then....

But i really do enjoy this show

Yeah its a pretty good show to watch BUCS.. I have watched the other seasons as well and they do seem to get better, the only downer about this season is that I accidently came across info on the Net on who the final groups are (don't worry I won't post it). So its different watching and knowing that certain groups won't be there at the end.

yeah, thanks for not posting...I agree, its not the same if you know the result.....I agree it has gotten better each season, they come up with better stunts, and seeing all these places around the world is pretty cool.....

bucs- How do you have time for this when you are sweating out every game on the board nightly?

I find it very hard to believe, as well as many others here, that you actually watch this show without being distracted.

Fish.. not sure about BUCS but I came to the realization a while ago that the score won't change the next day regardless of whether I am watching it on TV or Computer. The days of starring at CBS SPORTLINES Gamecast and saying COME BABY SACKS LOADED I NEED A SINGLE over and over again are long gone.

Fishhead · Aug 25, 2004

HTRC- I agree, but obviously you didnt see BUCS at the bash.

Great reality show, probably my favorite of the bunch, because your thrown with twist and turns and forced to do all kinds of things within all kinds of cultures with all kinds of characters around

1cheater · Aug 25, 2004

I agree, it's the best reality show ever..

I was sooooo happy to see Mirna and charla go bye bye

I couldn't stand how fake they both were. Their exploiting weaknesses in people with the whole feeling sorry for the midget made me sick. You want to be treated the same and not be looked down on, but yet you take advantage of people's vulnerabilities at the same time?

The "hot head"(Colon) is a moron and his girlfriend deserves him if she stays with him..

We need more people like Chip in this world; a genuine nice guy.. I hope they win..

My second choice would have to be the bowling moms.

If I had to lay money, I sadly would have to lay big chalk on the hot head and his passive girlfriend.

One more thing, the host is one of the best, not arrogant, doesn't try and steal the show, he let's the show run it's course in a great way.

I love that show. It's won an emmy for the last 2 years I think. Colin is gonna grow up to be a wife beater.

He WAS willing to lose a shot at a million dollars to argue over 50.00...

bucsfan67 · Aug 31, 2004

Man, Colin is getting worse....did u see him yell at her when he was packing the bricks...I mean that guy has serious rage, u can just see it....I am almost scared for her.....

I dont think its being edited to make him look that bad either, i just think he is that way, u can just see it, his mannerisms, his attitude, it all adds up.....I sure as to hell hope he doesnt win the money...

I'm still rooting for the bowling moms, they are a couple of tough broads...and she packed those bricks better than the guys...

1cheater · Sep 1, 2004

Anyone else sick of those two Jesus freak flakes?
They should be yanked from the race for throwing in the towel and not shaving their heads, what a joke! That was histarical when they got on that packed train "God help her" I almost pissed myself.

Collin needs to be taken in an alley and taught a lesson..

Bowling moms kicked ass with those bricks!

bucsfan67 · Sep 7, 2004

Bowling moms kicked ass AGAIN....

Cant beleive they did the sledging in the whitewater rapids, and didnt chicken out...I'm not sure i could have done that....that last drop was scary....

But they dont seem fazed by anything, thats why i like them.....

And that damn ball at the end, now that LOOKED FUN.....i would like that.....

Down to the final four, hope its the bowling moms that win, if not, hope its chip and Kim....the other 2 teams get on my nerves...

One odd thing though, none of the times that they have penalized the teams, and taken their money away, have those teams been eliminated that week....Just goes to show you what a little effort will do for you....

SportSavant · Sep 14, 2004

I am kicking myself for not bettiing at Intertops before tonites show...

two of the teams were + 600 while the other two were around -120...

Betting both at + 600 would have been a wise play...

This is truely one of the greatest reality shows...

IF THAT A HOLE WINS IT I WILL BE SICK!!!

bucsfan67 · Sep 14, 2004

Yeah, SS, i agree, its the best reality show on TV...

And that Colin guy really is a psycho....

You hear him tell her he hated her?

Then next thing u know he is kissing her...makes me sick...

I just knew this would be non-elimination this week, and they will be gunning for Chip and Kim.....

One thing i wonder is, they say each team can only use the Yield once, but I wonder if a team can be yeilded more than once...if so, i can see another team yielding them again in the next round, and i would die laughing...

I thought they might have really gotten smart when they got off the bus and looked for a cab, but luckily the others were thinking the same...

I love this show..
