I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks this show rocks! I haven't watched tonight's episode yet, but I taped it.

I have always loved this show!

My students want me and one of my friends (who also teaches at our school) to go on it because they think it would just be too funny. So far, we have resisted the urge

Oh, I love this show! I'm mad- I forgot it was on tonight and so I only caught the elimination. Guess I'll have to read the TWOP recap.

Didn't you just want to throttle Flo last season?

I was so mad when she won... although I really liked Zach. I wondered if they stayed friends.

I love this show and I almost forgot it was on! My boyfriend hates reality TV, but I got him hooked on this last season. It is so good! I'm on the West Coast, so it's still on.

Was I the only one hoping that Debra and Steve would beat out Tian and Jaree? Debra and Steve were so cute, and I didn't want to see them leave so soon. I'm so glad to have Amazing Race to last me through the summer with limited quality reality shows!

No, you aren't. I was totally cheering for Debra and Steve. They were the cutest, and those "models" were kind of snotty.

I think that the air traffic control guys are my favorite, but I really liked several of the teams.

I totally wanted the annoying chicks to leave. What kind of models are they? They seem kind of buff to be typical fashion models.

The real reason I watch the show?

I <3 Phil Keoghan! I've loved him ever since I first saw him on FX on the morning show. His accent his faded some but he's still my lil Kiwi!

Although the Extensions Sisters (Sheeva and Weeva, or whatever the heck their names are) get on my last nerve, I think that what the other teammates did to them (asking the bus driver to take off) was pretty foul.

Was anyone else touched by the air traffic controller guy making steps in the snow for his buddy? *snif*

Not because I have something against gay men but because could they be better catches????

OMG! Phil Koeghan is a hottie! When I saw him last night in that white turtleneck and jacket I got weak in the knees. And I was sitting down!

Those models aren't gonna last long.
They were the only ones bitching at each other 3 minutes into the race!!!

And did anyone else think it was hilarious when they were in LAST place and stopped to get some coffee from that cute guy?? OMG, give me a break!

Definitely one of the better reality shows! I hope the Mole comes back with Anderson Cooper.

CutiePie2000 · #14 05-30-2003, 01:06 PM

I watched The Amazing Race I, II and III! I missed IV premiere but trust me, I will be watching next week! Yeah, baby!

Compared to The Amazing Race, Big Brother is a snore and a bore!
