The Amazing Race 15 - Page 3

First, I have my DVR set to record a full extra hour. This has saved me multiple times in the past. And, yes, srmom, cbs.com has the full episodes available to view.

This link fills in the story of where/how the passport was lost, and how they were able to later recover it. So sad. I was really hoping for a top three finish for them. Warning, though. You have to fight through about a minute of Garrett and Jessica at the beginning of that clip before it gets to Zev and Justin. Ugh.

Finally, Meathead has got to go. What the heck does his fiance see in him?

(waves hi to Nittany. Great to see you back on the boards, even if it is just this thread)

I hated seeing Zev and Justin eliminated. Justin seemed like such a patient, cool guy who really liked having Zev for his friend.

My biggest complaint about this show is that you never know when it's going to be on due to football. As a result, I DVR both time slots.

I do that too. BUT, they've changed CSI to 9 and have some lame medical show on now in the 8 slot. I didn't know that so my DVR cut out at 8.

I think I can watch on CBS.com though. Today should be a slow day at work, so I'll do that (with the volume down low

)

HA! Nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah, hey hey hey, goodbye. Ya meathead.

THANK GOD it wasn't a non-elimination leg!

ETA: Oh, and I was

at the preview of whats-his-face trying to PUSH the blonde girl down the water slide!

A million bucks is a million bucks!

But seriously, though, that was kind of mean. But then again, I love water slides (even big a$$ scary ones), so they wouldn't have been a problem for me.

Yeeeah, big red flag. Run, honey. (Although she annoys me too -- I'm MORTALLY afraid of heights and I've done that particular water slide with little problem. Don't go on TAR if you're that afraid of something.)

I was really worried about that for a minute or two. So glad I won't have to see them anymore.

How can you forget a guy named Canaan?

I'm seriously hoping the editing made that look worse than it really was. Because sheesh.

Or unless you're really setting out to conquer that fear.

Where is that slide?

It's at the Atlantis resort. I've been to the one in the Bahamas, but there's one in Dubai as well. It's not that scary of a slide (and like I said, I'm really afraid of heights).

My friend who lived in Saudi Arabia for a while visited Dubai with her parents and she said that it was an intense waterpark.

I guess that's the thing about Dubai -- they don't do anything half-assed.

I definitely recognized the slide as the one from the Atlantis and the lifeguard was wearing the Atlantis logo. My husband and I were trying to figure out why they would go from Dubai to the Caribbean and then remembered there's an Atlantis resort in Dubai as well. I'm 99% sure it's the Atlantis.

Oh, dear god, please tell me I don't see a woman with a towel-burka topped with goggles advertising their "ladies' nights" at the bottom of that page.

Yeah, if you are afraid of heights, afraid of eating yucky stuff, etc. DON"T go on the Amazing Race!!

Hasn't she ever watched the show?

She's lucky they didn't have to bungy jump or repell off the "world's tallest building"!!

Isn't Canaan supposed to be the big Christian guy - isn't very "Do unto others...." to try to push somebody down a huge slide!!

^^^ I have nothing to contribute to this thread except that I kept reading "nittanygirl's" posts and being disappointed that I didn't realize it wasn't you posting.

You should show up more often around these parts!

There's a 'nittanygirl' here now?? I'll have to look her up when I have more time to play. Is she sufficiently snarky or at least interesting enough to do the "nittany" forename justice?? I certainly hope so, if not, I will have to make sure to come around more to preserve the good nittany legacy!!

Sadly, she is not. I think she was a PNM. I'm not invested enough in her posts to go back and check, though lol
