"The Amazing Race 5"

[AOTTAdvisor]

Okay, I was so almost crying when the military dad choked up when talking about his daughter. They were so sweet and I really wish they would have gone further!
Funniest part of the night---Did anyone else notice that the chocolate guy was also a "little person". I so wanted he and Charla to have some little person love going on!!
And I agree that Charla and Mirna are using her "I am short" thing a little to much. But Charla trying to pantomine the airplane was way to funny. And the two of them trying to get on Phil is worth waiting till the end for : )
I still like Joyce and Bob, Colin and Christie, and the bowling moms. I HATE the Pizza Brothers and I am a little sick of Kami amd Karli, but them swimming to the island was great!
Can't wait for next week!

i was thinking about something last night. each team gets a camera man right? if they are buying plan tickets and there are only 2 seats open, how does the camera dude get on? then, i was thinking, maybe they purchase ahead before the game started. but, if their team gets bumped onto the last flight due to direction errors or misses a flight, they would have to give up the earlier seat and fly stand-by?

that little so and so is going to have to fight me for Phil. he is a hottie! he has such a great voice. i love hearing him talk about the race. i want to hear that voice say, 'i love you smiley'

Mirna has such a thing for Phil and it cracks me up. When they were driving to the pit stop she was saying "I can't believe we always look disgusting when we see Phil."

I am bummed that Jim and Marsha got eliminated. I really liked them. I hope Brandon and Nicole go soon. I can't stand Brandon.

[Cluey]

I'm bummed, too, that Marsha and her dad were eliminated. It just goes to show that people from Jacksonville never do well on reality tv shows because they are just too nice.

Yep father daughter were the best. I guess I will cheer for the midget or the twins.

[ADPiShannan]

Im going for Colin and Christie since my fave dad/daughter were gone last night. I actually got all misty when they were talking at the end.

I will def not root for the midget and cousin, the christin couple, or the bros. I dont like any of those 3 teams. I pray one of them gets eliminated this next week.

The Dad & Daughter team coming in last sucked. I wanted the Brothers to go. Those guys are dicks. I'm not liking Brandon and Nicole either. They form alliances and then screw over the people they're supposed to be helping.

The Twins still get on my nerves.

I still can't tell Nicole and Christie apart.

Charla and Mirna are a bit annoying. But they make me laugh. I loved the look Charla gave her when she was worrying how her hair looked for Phil.

Finally, I watched the episode...

I can't believe that anybody likes Colin. I think he's a total ass -- I mean, who says "We have to beat the midget!" He's just the kind of arrogant guy who gets on my nerves.

I'm super bummed to see Marsha and Jim go, so I'm cheering for Chip & Kim and Bob & Joyce, and I have to say I think Mirna and Charla are by far the most entertaining team so I hope they make it far.

I'm in the minority here.....

when I first saw the previews for the show....i was certain that i was going to love the brothers (my instincts were wrong).....I cant stand them.

I absolutely LOVE Charla and Mirna, they are my favorite team. It also helps that they love Phil just as much as I do. I say...hey use EVER advantage you can in this race, because that is what is going to get you over the finish line first. Why fault them for it? They are also very good at the racing, detours and road blocks, if jumping on a cart to get them there faster is ok and not a violation of the rules...why get mad...because they were first in doing it? The other racers did the same thing.


I do know that I cant stand
The Brothers (Marshall/Lance) - the comments they were making
The Models (Brandon/Nicole) - they screwed too many people in such a short amount of time, esp after people took the time to stop and see if they needed any help and WAITED FOR THEM...ggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

No other couples have been stand outs in my eyes, IF Charla and Mirna happen to get eliminated I will find someone new I hope.
I like each of the rest for something different.


It was very sad that the Daddy/Daughter Team (Jim/Marsha) got eliminated I did like them and perhaps they were my second favs.

That caviar looks so disgusting!

Is it just me or has nobody taken a Fast Forward yet?

nobody has yet. are they even doing that this year? i thought i heard it mentioned in the first episode. alsom what happened to the 'yield' option that was in the first episode?

[Sister Havana]

And Mirna smooches on Phil again. That cracks me up.

[adduncan]

The road block is chowing down on the best caviar in the world?

Boo - freakin' - hoo!!!!!!

I love the stuff. It's part of my annual birthday celebration.

Seriously, there was one thing that was really off - you *never* serve or eat caviar w/ metal utensils. Totally destroys the taste. I'm guessing the restaurant knows this (even if the producers dont') so they may have upped the "gross" factor on purpose.

(And they were washing it down w/ plain water? What, no Stoli? )

--add

[ms_gwyn]

some of them had the vodka earlier

I do have to say that eating that much cavier is a bit much....and yes with metal.....these are NOT good combinations and it was awfully.....*slippery*

I dont like the stuff, when I was young i mistook them for really, really small grapes (I was very young), so i developed an aversion, just like me with pumpkin pie, I thought it was sweet potato...yuck, never to this day have I've eaten pumpkin pie (and NO they do not taste the same).


I was also wondering if it was "lower quality", but since it is Russia, I'm sure the prices were reasonable.

Chip and Kim are officially my second favorites in the race.

I do have to say that even though I didnt enjoy Nichole suffering, it did have some sort of justice to it.
