The Amazing Race - Season 19 - Page 2

Taking a moment to brag a bit, I was at the horse races last weekend and it was a stop for the Amazing Race. We think it was AR Australia, but they couldn't even admit they were from Amazing Race, although it was painfully obvious. I have only seen bits and pieces of the American version of the show and never any episodes of any other country's, but I can tell you I'm rooting against those skanky blondes. HA! I have a feeling it was a pretty important episode. We only saw 4 teams, and they were 3 hours or so apart.

Word has it that TAR 20 came through Vancouver last week...I think some competitors were spotted at the airport. I'm surprised that no one ever captures them with their Smart Phones and posts it online (in North America, anyway....)

Well, I was disappointed for Marcus and Amani, though I guess I'd rather see Cindy and Ernie win than Jeremy and Sandy. Cindy did work my nerves some during the race, though. (Apparently we have her mom and dad to thank for her sometimes grating intensity.)

I did warm up to them some, though, when they said what they want to do with the money.

And boy, did wife and I feel old when we watched the racers try to figure out how to type a "1" on an old typewriter.

I tend to agree.

And I had flashbacks to learning how to type on a manual machine. I also remembered the dear student who, when turning in his research paper, said "I hope you don't mind that I wrote out "World War Two" - my computer doesn't have Roman numerals." He was NOT kidding.

Bless his heart.

I didn't think this season was as bad as TWP seems to have, though. One thing I really liked this season was how many of the clues had to be figured out. I also liked the way you had to keep your eyes open -- like the sign telling you to give all your money at the orphanage.
