Something about knowing you're eating udders, brains, intestines and saliva glands would make me not finish. If it was all steak and ribs, I'm with you.
I would have been with Rob. 4 hours penalty beats sitting there puking every 3 minutes.
Me too. What happens in a road block when your 12 year old daughter has to eat 4 pounds of meat because she's the only one left who can do it....oh yeah, 4 hour penalty!
I just think it will add too much baggage to the teams. It's bad enough trying to get transport for 2.
This will be a one season experiment that TAR will drop...with any luck.
They have outtakes on the websites but you need RealPlayer to watch them. Been there with RealPlayer, done that, don't want to do it again.
I might be a bit late, but how come theyhave to have a male gay couple in every damn race but no (outed) lesbians?
Everytime they showed those gay guys in the last one and said "married" I yelled at the TV "not possible!"
But PC notwistanding, AR is the best show on TV. I loved how Rob conned the whole field.
You want lesbians?
Tell the producers, they'll produce some. But maybe not. Survivor had a show with two outed and maybe more lesbians and it was the worst Survivor ever. Those girls are no fun.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that Amber came up with the suggestion to bail once they understand the mechanics of how the penalty worked. Either that or she independantly figured out how to best bypass the BBQ road block, came to the same conclusion as Rob and therefore no arguement.
I agree. About every season had one or more inter-team (and one intra-team) relationship get really steamy. If you have to ask which ones, I ain't tellin.
Interestingly enough with the exception of TAR4's Steve / Josh, all of the family (non-married) teams fit into two categories:
1) Parent with openly gay male child - TAR3 Dennis / Andrew, and TAR7 Susan / Patrick
2) Parent with either straight or non-openly gay female child - TAR1 Nancy / Emily, TAR2 Diedre / Hillary, TAR5 Jim / Marsha, and TAR6 Gus / Hera.
Of these teams, Nancy / Emily did the best by making it to Leg 9.
It gets worse than that: 'AMAZING' NEW RULE: 8-YR-OLDS ELIGIBLE - NYPost (3/8/2005)
TAR8-FE (family edition) has a good chance to devolve into that Nickelodeon kiddie show "Double Dare". That unfortunately makes sense because CBS and Nickelodeon are both owned by Viacom.
Agreed, Real Player, is the worst to deal with, the pop ups alone are irritating.
I had the same reaction, in addition to wanting to hurl each time that Chip or Reichen called each other, "honey".
Nor do they have a sense of humor. Got behind a lesbo's car in Memphis this weekend. Car's rear bumper was festooned with femi-nazi bumper stickers. Including this tidbit, "Eve was framed".
I made her the L sign for loser, she didn't think it was funny. Oh well.........
Well said - as one racer put it a few seasons back -- the only leg where FIRST matters is the last one.
I must have blinked, but good for her if she did. I know that later, toward the end of their four-hour penalty, she said to Rob, "Smart move," congratulating him for figuring out the probabilities, as I understood it. Either way, she supports Rob, lets him be the man, and he definitely does a good job of it. I like them as a couple, win or lose.
Here's how they finished Tuesday night:
1. Alex & Lynn
2. Uchenna and Joyce
3. Brian and Gregg
4. Ron and Kelly (two seconds after Brian and Greg)
5. Rob and Amber
6. Ray and Deana
7. Meredith and Gretch
8. Susan and Patrick
9. Bianca and Debbie - Eliminated.
BTW, I heard that Penis Lesbian changed his name to Dick Van Dyke. ;)
BTW: Did I miss it or did Alex and Lynn NOT get a free trip somewhere for being first?
Not even a Rosie/Ellen Lesbo cruise?
No free trip for the winner of this lap of the race. Poor L&A were obviously waiting with bated BBQ breath for Phil's announcement of a trip, but alas, no.
I just watched it. Rob asked Amber what happens if he can't finish. She doesn't look ecstatic, but simply says, "Penalty."
The brilliance of this move was that he HAD to find someone else to give up with him so that their penalty clock would start after his. Once the other group agreed, Rob knew he was in the clear. It was a great move!
Some might see it as wimping out...I see it as strategery. Why sit for hours gagging down nasty food if you can use your head and find a way around it? It could have backfired on him, after all, I don't remember any other team just giving up on a challenge.
TAR6 had the sister team give up at the hay bale rolling road block at the request of the producers because they were so far behind the others in Scandinavia. I believe that TAR4 had a team of two brothers quit after they realized they were last and weren't getting anywhere in the "archelogical dig" road block in Egypt.
