Amazing Race 10

[valkyrie]

I hate the beauty queens. Hate. A lot. I swear, somebody could tell them that they're going to be held hostage and tortured by a band of angry pirates and they'd be like "Oh great! That's awesome!" with their big stupid smiles. They're just so over-the-top positive it seems entirely fake to me. And seriously, they had to ASK WHAT COUNTRY LONDON IS IN when buying plane tickets? If you're THAT STUPID you should not be on this show.

I think Rob and Kimberly are HILARIOUS.

The Chos need to stop being stupid. Don't wait for people. Bama isn't going to help you, ever, and Kentucky isn't going to be in a position to help you.

I don't think the London question was out of stupidity but more from disbelief. When the one held up the atlas to confirm with the guy the route it did seem insane and I would have had a similar response. Besides, it's not impossible that there's a city named London in other countries.

Actually, you're correct. There is a London in Canada (in Southwestern Ontario)... and there's a New London, in Connecticut and New Hampshire.

I think they were just being stupid -- when the guy said England the one girl responded "INDIA?!!" Um, no. I'd be willing to bet $$$ she didn't think they were flying to London, Ontario, either. That's just silly.

I agree. You'd think that they'd have a clue...don't you need to have some kind of common sense to run in the MAO?

If I were in Kuwait trying to book international flights, there's NWIH I'd think of London, Ontario, especially when they're told ONLY BRITISH AIRWAYS WAS AVAILABLE. That's dumb. The ticketing guys shoulda offed the blondes after the first insult. I really hoped their car accident would've set them back more.

And I agree about the Cho brothers. I honestly think they have the potential to make the final three and possibly winning it all. Rob and Kim, IMO are pretty much the only ones who've consistently been up there. The druggie models and the beauty queens I can imagine will screw up and come in last. Alabama and Kentucky will be Philiminated soon.

The Chos won't win if they insist on continuing that alliance,though. They could have easily come in first at the pit stops if they didn't wait on the stragglers!

I didn't get the coalminers wife's thought process when she said "i'm going to wait for them when we get there" Does she not realize it's a race and the last team there is likely to be out???

I totally agree with you!! The are just to annoying to watch sometimes.

How lucky was Mary and Dave to be last again in the leg where someone was not eliminated. I know we talked about this last season with the Hippie's, but sometimes I think TAR picks which leg to eliminate/not elimate people according to who comes last. Probably not true, but like I said before Dave and Mary are lucky!

I think you're right. I had suspected that when the hippies kept not being eliminated. I truly think the producers are manipulating the show. There ought to be some sort of guarantee-- such as the producers must submit in advance which rounds will be eliminated to an impartial third party for verification.

While I agree completely that uttering the word "baby" should be grounds for immediate Philimination, I would rather see Lynn and Karlynn gone before Rob and Kimberly. Watching Alabama berate the beauty queens, the models and most of all the ticket agent about the flight was beyond embarrassing. True, the beauty queens were stupid to make an issue of it to begin with, since IT WAS THE ONLY FLIGHT AND THEY WERE ALL GOING TO GET ON IT. But Lynn and Karlynn are much more obnoxious to me than Rob and Kimberly. If you watch some of the Insider clips at CBS, you can see that they have consistently rebuffed all attempts at being friendly from any team except the Chos and Kentucky. Tyler and James sat down with them at breakfast one morning (before the flight incident, it appeared), and without a word, Alabama got up and moved to another table. Yet they hoped the ticket agent could sleep with himself.

And as stupid as it was for the beauty queens to make an issue out of the flight, it was no more stupid or obnoxious than Lynn and Karlynn pushing the poor Kuwaiti man so that he couldn't translate the clue for the beauty queens last week.

Sometimes I think these teams think they're on Survivor, where an alliance might get you somewhere.

I'm not sure that Tyler and James aren't right -- that the Cho brothers are trying to get Kentucky and Alabama to the final 3 with them because they know they could beat both teams. In any event, the Cho brothers' sentiment that they're stronger together than they are apart ignores the other cliche -- the chain is only as strong as their weakest link.

You make an excellent point.. and, after reading your post.. I've changed my mind. I agree with you.. the beauty queens must go.

Then you're not agreeing with me.

While I'd like to see the Cho brothers win, the team I think is most likely to win at this point is the beauty queens, and I don't have a problem with that at all. They are consistently the best racers, and they don't get on my nerves nearly as much as Lynn and Karlynn or Kimberly and Rob.

I'd be very happy with a final three of the beauty queens, the Cho brothers and the models, and I'd be satisfied if any of them won.

KENTUCKY NEEDS TO LEAVE! I can't stand them.
