Amazing Race - June 5

[DmOrtega]

Do those people ever sleep? It seems to me like they are always on the move, literally running. Isn't Italy beautiful? I like the game of looking for the mask at the end.

Hey,

I missed it last night. Who was eliminated?

Leigh, I watched it last night, but still had to go to the CBS website to look up who was eliminated. It was Amanda and Chris, whoever they are.

I thought that riding a raft down that ski jump looked like a lot of fun!

I have it taped, so I'm not reading to the end! I'll be able to comment a little more sensibly later.

I'm glad Amanda got tossed. She's the one they had to keep bleeping!!
Now if we could only get rid of the models, and the dad/son team. The dad's not bad, but I don't like the son. Anyone know who the NFL wives are married to?

[lhall]

I think one of them is Ray Buchannan's wife. I don't really remember, but they are both wives of Falcon's players.

I liked the father/son team.

The models I would like to see go.

The couple that have been together 12 years and are still virgins??? I think I have an explanation for that she's not gonna like. And do we really have to know that anyway?

It's too early to pick the team that will stand out personality-wise, you just don't spend enough time with each team yet.

I really liked the husband/wife team that got the boot in the first episode but was not surprised to see them go.

Ambrose-Buchanan team advances in 'Amazing Race'
Author: KEN SUGIURA

Staff Date: June 6, 2003 Publication: Atlanta Journal-Constitution, The (GA) Page Number: D12 Word Count: 247

Atlanta's newest reality show entry is still in the game.

Sheree Buchanan, wife of Falcons cornerback Ray Buchanan, and her best friend Monica Ambrose, wife of New Orleans Saints cornerback and former Falcon Ashley Ambrose, staved off elimination in the second episode of "The Amazing Race."

Racing around Venice on foot and in a gondola, Buchanan and Ambrose were the 10th of 11 teams to reach the climactic checkpoint, the last to advance.

Thanks for that info. Too bad I've never heard of either of them!

[Mareli]

It is still too early for me to have strong feelings, except to say that I wish the husband/wife had lasted longer, but wasn't surprised to see them go. I would like to see the models go. And, the dating/still virgins have got to go just because that title flashing on the screen every time they come up bugs the heck out of me.

We taped this so we could watch when we got back from vacation. I liked the activities in this episode- going down the slope in the boat-thingie, and the mask game- nice that the latter was a mental rather than physical challenge.

I didn't mind that Chris and Amanda were eliminated- I'm having a hard time keeping track of all the male-female couple teams, so one fewer to remember is fine by me.

I can't believe it's already the second episode and I haven't posted yet (since this is my FAVORITE show in the whole universe). That's what getting sick will do for you.

Anyway, I am glad Amanda and Chris are gone because they quarrelled too much. Did anyone else notice that he called her "Flo" last week? What an insult. I would have been furious! Anyway, they were a silly little team- especially him. He did so poorly in the mask competition. He had no right to complain at her so much, he blew it for them.

Don't even get me started on the "VIRGINS". Go check out the team descriptions from Television Without Pity. Soooo funny!

If the models don't go soon I will need a new television because I will have thrown mine out the window. They are ridiculous! The one girl can barely run. I've heard that she's a smoker, but a young girl should be able to hoof it a few blocks. All they do is complain about one another and whine.

And I also predict that the air traffic guys aren't long for the show. They don't look too good, and it's only a couple of days into it. I don't see how they are going to last.

And am I the only one who is already bored with the whole clown thing?
