I’m not gonna lie. I didn’t even watch last night. And now that I see who won, not sure if I’ll even bother.

Your thoughts?

Frankly, I’m just holding my breath until Big Brother.

Getting Down to the Final Three

Monday, May 03, 2010 at 10:36am by freakgirl

Once again, CBS hasn’t bothered updating their website, so no photos. Sorry. This week our trusty teams continued their trek through China, counting buddhas and performing “needle in a haystack” type challenges. The first three teams to finish will compete to win the million bucks; the fourth team was eliminated. Read the rest of this entry »

RIP, Ping Ping

Sorry guys, I don’t have the energy to do a decent recap today. CBS’s site is so out of date, they don’t have photos or even their own recap up yet.

Suffice it to say that is there NOTHING the cowboys can’t do?

I Remember I Used to Love this Show

…but this season of The Amazing Race leaves me cold. Aside from the cowboys, I don’t believe a single team is actually having fun. This week’s episode was completely unpleasant and I had to tune a lot of it out. Read the rest of this entry »

From Worst to First and First to Worst

Sweaty Lesbian

On this week’s Amazing Race, for the first time ever in the game, a team starting out in last place, forced to do an extra task, managed to finish the leg in first place. Oh, those cowboys and their amazing face-flag-balancing skills. Is there NOTHING they can’t do?

In bummer news, father/daughter team Steve and Allie started off first but finished last and were eliminated. Oh, well, generally non-offensive team that I wouldn’t recognize if I saw them on my front porch today — we’ll miss you!

Everyone else, with the exception of the Cowboys and Steve & Allie, were generally unpleasant and sweaty.

In Which Things Are Left Behind

Clothes, backpacks, and lots of coconuts. Seriously, how difficult would it have been to take one quick look-see before leaving the site? Apparently quite difficult, considering three teams had to go back. I love episodes with unpredictable animals, although the oxen didn’t reach theĀ  hilarity of “MY OX IS BROKEN” from Season 5. The turtles were pretty cute, too, and it was nice to find out that they don’t care for mean lesbians either. CHOMP CHOMP. Read the rest of this entry »

…And Now I Know How Joan of Arc Felt

This week’s episode of The Amazing Race was pretty entertaining. Lots of navigational problems, some car issues and lots of wine, grapes and champagne.

A team continued a winning streak, one got eliminated and one destroyed a car. Order of finish after the jump.

I Hate the Smell of Sulfur in the Morning

The Amazing Racers go to war and one team doesn’t make it out alive… Read the rest of this entry »
