The Amazing Race - 9/24 - Spoilers

[AdGirl]

Anyone watch last night?

I'm so glad the Cheerleaders are gone. When they were showing the cuts back and forth between the Alabama team and the Cheerleaders, I was thinking how I would be happy with either of them going. I can't stand either team! But the main reason I didn't like Cheerleaders was how unappreciative they seemed to the locals. Rarely a thank you or anything, it was just them asking a question and running off. Specifically, when they were lost in their car, the one in the back (Kellie?) opened her door to ask for directions and when she got her answer she just slammed the door back closed. What the...?

On the positive side, i loved the scene with Duke and Lauren trying to "take it down" -- it was so sweet when he got her to focus by kissing her forehead! Definitely a poignant father/daughter moment... They're my favorite team :)

I love this show!

Thanks for posting this. Our DVR doesn't automatically compensate for things like football games going over, so we went to watch it later last night and missed the last 20 minutes or so.

I'm glad it's the cheerleaders. Their constant clapping and cheering was annoying.

But the main reason I didn't like Cheerleaders was how unappreciative they seemed to the locals. Rarely a thank you or anything, it was just them asking a question and running off. I noticed this too... they were certainly perpetuating the "ugly American" stereotype! :(

I had to laugh every time that ox took off running! After switching challenges twice Peter and Sarah still came in first.

I still think Peter is irritating.

And the couple who fights! They're almost as bad as Jonathan and Victoria.

I was worried the hillbillies would lose after getting stuck in the mud. I'm not ready to see them go. Last week the wife said the husband rules the roost but after last night it's obviously the other way around.

"We never met gay people. I like 'em!!"

Buh-bye cheerleaders!

"We never met gay people. I like 'em!!"



OMG. DH and I were laughing so hard at this. She was so funny!

[mgs]

LOL Is that what they said? (the coalminers) We didn't quite catch it but we got the gist (or is it jist??)........that is too funny. I will have to tell DH. :p

Well Kristi, last week I didn't agree with you but this week I've jumped on your bandwagon of getting totally irritated by Peter. Can you believe they were talkting about Sarah's "breakdown"?! My goodness, she shed a few tears! Wait till they see how the other teams (Rob and Kimberly especially) handled everything. Now Kimberly had a breakdown (and for good reason - how she stands Rob is beyond me).

Right now I'm actually liking the Beauty Queens. Very level-headed, capable, and appreciative.

Oh - speaking of appreciative...what did everyone think of those darn single-moms who wouldn't help a soul to save their lives and then the hicks are nice enough to give them their extra water! I was happy to see that the moms had to go back for more water again anyway.

I think it was karma that they still had to go back to get more water.

[KristiB]

And Karma their car wouldn't start....

Hopefully the single moms got the message for next week because I really want to like them. I was pretty disappointed they didn't stop to help. Even if they can't change a tire, they could have at least rolled down a window and acknowledged them. Didn't they just drive off like maniacs?

I always hate to see poor sportsmanship.

My other question is about Peter and Sarah. He built her leg and didn't bring anything with him to repair it incase it was damaged? Like the oil it needs or tools?

I like Erwin and Godwin, they seem very mellow and down to earth.

And I agree with everyone about Rob and Kimberly stop yelling at each other. I mean did they not watch the other episodes and look at the screamers and think "Man I'm glad we're not like them!"

David and Mary I think are just fun to watch and see the world through their eyes. They are so innocent in how traveling is done, let alone a cut throat competition. :)
