winners and losers
 

I thought it was interesting how Kreddy and Kendra took the "Win at All Costs!" approach i.e. crying to the agent in China that they had to get on the plane because of their "sick baby", then Freddy asking the police officer to escort them to the finish. Really wish that Kris and Jon had won to send the message that this approach isn't the one to use to win - they just used good old fashioned abilities and strategy - a much better message about what it takes to win (IMO).

Re: winners and losers
 

I agree with you 100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Freddy and Kendra were so rude and self-important....when Kendra was crying and lying at the ticket desk about her "sick baby" Freddy was urging her to "keep it up baby!!!" Maybe they can buy themselves some humble pie with their money

Ms. MysticCat and I were very disappointed that Kris and Jon didn't win, but Kendra and Freddy (neither of whom I ever liked at all) winning was better than Rebecca and Nancy-boy. (She would have deserved it, but he definately would not have.) Hayden and Aaron would have been my second choice to win, but alas they had terrible luck in their last leg.

Ms. MysticCat almost threw up when Kendra said that Freddy is "worthy to be the father of my children." (I've been told just how worthy I am quite a few time since last night.) I just hope that Freddy spends a little of the $1Million on new glasses.

'Course, it's kind of hard to argue with the producers when the dating models/engaged actors end up as two of the final four teams. They must have something going for them other than looks or desire for exposure.

The 4 final teams were on Good Morning America this morning. Aaron (one of the "dating models" and, for my money, one of the 3 best players, along with Jon and Kris) is getting ready to start culinary school, so I'm guessing the modeling thing either didn't get jump-started or he wasn't really going for that.

Meanwhile, Hayden laughingly admitted that she can fly off the handle and then try to make excuses for it ("just like I'm making excuses now") and both of them joked about how Aaron just laughs at her when she acts that way -- one of the reasons I like him.

Phil said that Rob and Amber approached him at a press conference to tell him that they wanted to be on the race, and he didn't know who they were since he had been traveling instead of watching Survivor.

Also, Kendra tried to explain her poverty and "they keep breeding" comments. Eh. Keep trying.

Kris and Jon were Kris and Jon. They said they just woke up every morning during the race and said "we are so lucky to be here."

I missed most of the interview with Rebecca and Nancy-boy.

Phil said that AR 8, which they are casting now, will involve teams of 4 instead of 2, and that all teams will be family (broadly defined, it sounds like, and I doubt that "families" means kids). Maybe there aren't too many families full of wannabe models or actors.

ETA: I checked out the Application Form for TAR8 at CBS. Team members must be at least 12, and if they are under 18 a parent or legal guardian must also be on the team.

Did anyone see the rest of this? Did Rebecca and Nancy-boy seem like they are still friends or back together? At the end, Rebecca made some comments that seemed open-ended about their relationship.

I am glad they didn't win because they would have fought over the money! Guess TAR has to cut each team member an equal check (like Joe Millionaire did) since most of the teams aren't married. They wouldn't want to have to be involved with teams that are no longer friends fighting over the money.


Random thought: I always think it is interesting that even when there are "no more seats" on the plane, the camera always gets on with them --- there has to be a lot of logistical and advance planning involved in this show --- being a producer on it would be fun!

It was The Early Show. We must keep our network shows straight:):p

Re: Re: Re: argh!
 

You hear them ask for 2 tickets, but they actually have to get enough tickets for the crew, too.

Re: Re: Re: argh!
 

Can you tell I never watch network "news"? ;)

I was really not happy with last night, but oh well....it is what it is and end the end I was really hoping that Kris and Jon would win and my least fav of the final 3 won....attempting to defend her comments....please.....i have to censor what I was going to say....grrrrrrrrrrr


that key road block would have driven me insane

BOO! The wrong team won! :mad:

Now we have to contend with Boston Rob and "Ambuh" for the AR7.

LOL I've never seen him before the previews of the new season. Is something wrong with him, or is that some sort of accent?

he's got a very extreme boston accent.

That's terrible.

Did anyone catch Jonathan on "The Fabulous Life of Celebrity Couples" talking about some celebrity spa?

I saw it and I was totally caught off guard. He looked weird and it was hard to imagine him so mean.
