Just Jack Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Another "continue racing" episode. What are the odds everyone still gets bunched up due to transportation or something not being open? And Cindy & Ernie, why didn't they try to find a real ticket agent to see about getting their tickets reprinted before leaving the station? They got lucky they weren't kicked off the train.

Fezmid Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 They got lucky they weren't kicked off the train. I'm sure CBS had a hand in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I'm sure CBS had a hand in that. That's my suspicion. I also suspect that Sandy and Justin(?) passing the fitness posing competition on the first try was entirely due to Sandy having very nice ta-tas.

SelmonSmith6378 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Wow. For a series this horrible, it's sure getting a lot of posts. Wish my Sanctuary thread got this many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to figure out why it seemed like I never had any common ground with Selmon there, but then I heard someone mention his age...so now I'm GLAD we have nothing in common lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodBye Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 My pick right now for final three, snowboarders , Ernie & cindi, and team NFL in that order. Yep, those are my predictions as well with the snowboarders winning it all. Sad to see grandma and grandpa go too. They played a great race. Wow. For a series this horrible, it's sure getting a lot of posts. Wish my Sanctuary thread got this many. I could post there but I don't think you want me to.

Mark Vader Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I just remembered, I very much enjoyed it when the bitter lesbos got U-Turned and bounced a couple years ago... so as long as one of my fav teams doesn;t get screwed, U-Turns are OK with me. Amen! There has never been a more deserving team to be U-Turned than the bitter lesbos. That was a great moment in Amazing Race history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Wow. Unbelievable that Andy and Tommy got bumped out. While I get that this is the general concept, there've been WAY TOO MANY instances of hidden clues, no matter how many times the camera pauses and highlights the words "___ Viejo" woven into the fabric of a fluttering dress. This is a race and competitions of doing tasks, not a fuggin "Where's Waldo" book. That was a little bit cheap where all the necklaces said "Balboa" and the one dress said something entirely different. But, ultimately, it was on them. They should have stayed, taken all the clues like the picture of the building and talked to cabbies like Justin and Sandy (NICE PURPLE STRAP-TOP, BTW!!!! Panama can't be that cold, right?) until they knew where they had to go. Sometimes you've gotta pore over everything that you're given (think the Snapple bottle cap a couple-few seasons ago, or the French bread with the clue baked inside) to find it. I like the remaining teams. They all deserve to be there. They've all come back from near-disaster. AR is about speed, but it's more about perseverance and not giving up when something goes wrong. I hope Andy and Tommy are invited back in a future Second Chances season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 It will be interesting for sure also with all three teams leaving within minutes of each other for the last leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowboarders did mess up, but the Panama cab drivers did screw them. They won a lot though, including the Mustangs, so I don't feel too bad for them.

ajzepp Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I'd like to see Team Pollard win. Marcus missed out on the Colts SB, and I think his wife has a great personality. He picked a good one in her, and I find them both pretty entertaining. The only team I don't really care to see win is Cindy and what's his name. I'm bummed about the snow boarders...can't believe they went out like that. Oh well, I agree that it will be good to see them back at the next all stars Amazing Race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, I agree that it will be good to see them back at the next all stars Amazing Race I'm bummed about the boarders as well. They were, by a pretty good margin, the strongest team. Two of the other teams made the same mistake but got bailed out by the taxi drivers cluing each other in. Irony is if the boarders were not so far ahead their driver probably would have been in on the info sharing. Definitely going for Pollard and wife. They both have a great attitude and I enjoy watching them. The other two remaining teams I neither like or dislike. Just kinda there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajzepp Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 This is the second season in a row where the "mental challenge" at the end was just stupid. Used to be in the past, teams would take FOREVER completing it...for the first team to arrive to accomplish it so fast was just lame. Kudos to them, but that should have been more challenging. The flight simulator and the three numbers were great, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
