The Amazing Race 15

[srmom]

Warning: If you DVR The Amazing Race, and you have it on a series recording, along with the show immediately after it (because football usually runs over), make sure that the show after it is the same, and is being recorded. While watching football, they said that Cold Case is on at a "special time". I checked it out, and it comes on right after TAR this week in place of Three Rivers, which is what I always have on a series recording so I don't miss the end of the episode.

Just make sure nothing has changed so you don't miss anything!

Yep! I fell victim to the "special time", just watched it on cbs.com.

While I find Erika annoying, Brian isn't bad, in fact, how he can stay positive with that harpy is an amazing race in itself . My new hated team is the brothers. They are not only unbelievable jerks to each other (their ragging is beyond annoying!), they are jerks to the other teams. Taking cabs is certainly not against the rules, but I still think it's pretty blatantly a-hole-y, and then not even making eye contact with Brian, not even a, "hey buds, sorry, but it's a race" comment, was just weasely.

THEN, remember how last week, they made the big point of bitching about how the Globetrotters "followed them" and didn't do anything on their own? Well, if they hadn't "followed" Barbie and Ken, they wouldn't have found the Praga (they thought it was a coat or a robe??).

I hope they somehow get eliminated the next leg! Karma's a bitch, and they deserve a healthy dose of it (IMO)

This I agree with completely.

To be honest, this I don't agree with at all. This is a competition, not a popularity contest, and offering Brian and Erika's driver more money wasn't against the rules. It was fair game and it was good racing.

Sam and Dan knew that Malibu Ken and Barbie and the Globetrotters had already finished the detour and moved on, so they knew they were fighting Ericka and Brian for last place. For all they knew, last place = elimination; they had to assume it did. They very well might be nice guys, but they might be nice losers, if they hadn't tried to hire the cabbie away from Ericka and Brian.

I could do with less of Sam and Dan's bickering, and I'm sorry Sam and Dan couldn't, as you say, look Ericka and Brian in the eye and "hey, it's a competition." But they did the right thing to "steal" the cab.

And I think if Ericka hadn't been the "victim," she'd have to agree it was good racing. It was just one leg earlier when Ericka was berating Brian for not fighting Malibu Ken and Barbie for the cab that she said they had first. (Remember how Brian and Erika asked the driver to call them a cab, and then Ken and Barbie told him to forget about it?) Ericka said Brian needed to learn to play dirtier.

I agree 100%. I really wanted Brian and Erika out a while ago, but the brothers are taking their place as the most annoying team.

And I thought the EXACT same thing when they followed Meghan and Cheyne to the car. They admitted they didn't know what they were looking for, and the only reason they got the next clue so fast was because they saw them running to it.

And they thought Prague was a country. Enough said.
