They had an open casting call here a few weeks ago for the Amazing Race....i'm so upset I didn't go

But YAY!! I <3 the Amazing Race

ETA: Reading the info they had, they said that Zev Glassenberg has Asperger's. From someone that knows little about Autism and less about Asperger's, i'll be interested to see how he does in this competition.

How you know the GLO affiliations? Also I find it awesome that one of the teams is made up of former globetrotters.

I love TAR and I wish they would allow Canadians to participate. So far, the only Canadians that I have seen on American shows has been "The Bachelor".

I think it has to do with the fact the Bachelor has no prize money. It's something to do with taxation.

The Amazing Race would also have issues of different issuing countries for passports.

Are you talking about "visas" to enter the different countries that the racers travel to? You would only need 1 passport -- your own.

Phil did an interview awhile ago (I think for CTV?) where he said there may be issues of border guards letting Canadian passport holders through more quickly than American at customs, which could give teams unfair advantages. I remember he said they had a Swiss crew member who always cleared way before anyone else on the crew.

That would be sweet, if you could work it to your advantage. Some people have more than one passport, which could work nicely, like if you had an EU passport and you were in Europe (which TAR pretty much travels to, every time).

And yeah, part of me is all

right now about having a Canadian passport. That is all!

Dear Jessica,

Run like hayle away from Garrett. Now.

Love,
A concerned citizen who knows that there are much nicer men on the planet.

I don't like the meathead guy - he seems like a jerk. I like the 2 gay brothers and some of the more athletic teams.

Phil sure was taken a back when Garrett showed his temper at the end. Sure hope that Jessica gets a clue and disappears soon. Not someone she wants to marry!

Well... looks like that will happen.

Garrett proposes to Jessica right after they are elimated and the cameras were right there.

CutiePie2000 · #13 09-28-2009, 01:57 PM

Maybe she will come to her senses before the wedding ceremony?

Yeah, I thought it was pretty crazy that he was talking so much smack about her hot Columbian temper, yet HE was the one that flew off the handle.

Which meathead guy? I can think of a couple of guys that seem meatheadish.

LOL. Right after he said on camera that he doesn't know if they're any closer to marriage.

What did people think of the immediate elimination? When Phil announced it, I thought "I don't like this idea." But when the two teams at the end were the two that I could already tell were going to get on my nerves fast, I thought, "okay, I can live with this."

I don't get the poker girls lying about what they do. This ain't Survivor or Big Brother. One or two legs into the game and already their "secret" is getting out. But if you're going to lie about it, at least make it a lie that's easier to keep up throughout the race.

Meanwhile, my wife and I found it interesting that poker girls weren't liking Zev and Justin that much. We couldn't help but wonder if it's because as poker players, they make a living "reading" other people, and with his Asperger's, Zev may be really hard for them to read. (Meanwhile, I loved that Zev said he just wasn't getting a "help homeless people vibe" from poker girls. Heh.)
