The Amazing Race 15

[srmom]

Okay, I am REALLY not liking the brothers! Maybe it's just because I like the Globetrotters and they don't, but they just seem like jerks!!

First, they totally acted like a-holes at the hay bale challenge, then tonight, they totally lied about the cab that showed up being the one that was "called for" (yeah, like a cab will show up in less than a minute) - I'm glad the Globetrotters called them out on the lie and got in the cab with them! Then next weeks previews show that they steal miss america's cab!! Finally, a team to hate (at least for me!!)

I thought Barbie and Ken did really well last night, and weren't annoying.

Candle - a - bra!! WHA!!!! Oh well, at least they had a great time and solidified their relationship!!

The one is a real A-hole. You're on the Amazing Race. Yes, things get tense and tempers flare at times. But is it necessary for you to yell at your brother while he's pushing huge bales of hay around in a field for hours? And even after you realize that was dumb, to then yell at him while playing volleyball in the mud, when you basically can't move? Get over yourself.

Collectively, I haven't seen them do anything yet that's extremely mean-spirited. The game gets tense and crazy toward the end, and even as Meghan (I think?) had said, "It's weird that we can't help teams that we've worked with in the past." (or something to that effect). Things can get ugly. Hopefully to a reasonable degree.

(Still not sure what exactly happened while they were running to the pit stop)

The comments that made me laugh, however, came when the brothers were talking about the Globetrotters being in the cab with them. They were saying how mad they were that the Globetrotters were just following them, and how frustrating it is. Well, um.. yea. They're right behind you. What are they going to do? Run in the opposite direction? And if those brothers think that no one else was simply following them at any other point in the race, they're dumb.

Well, one of them did.

I don't hate them, but Dan does need to get a grip sometimes. And I like the Globetrotters, but their reaction to the falls during the race to the pit stop was a bit much.

Meanwhile, the "speed bump" barely qualified as a bump of any kind. Go sit in a sauna for 5 minutes? Sure, it ate some time, but it was hardly a "task."

I'm not sure what happened during the run to the tower either, probably a little bumping and shoving from both sides, and combined with being wet and slippery, and exhausted, they both fell.

I think the Globetrotters reaction at the tower was likely to be a bit of killer fatigue (that mud volleyball looked rough for everyone) and getting just plain sick of the one a-hole brother (earlier in the episode, the globetrotters mentioned how wrong it was that they were cussing at each other during the hay bale thing, and since the show is edited down, can you imagine listening to them carp at each other for hours?)- and you're right, it has been just the one, but he makes me dislike the pair of them -especially after seeing the scene next week where they steal the cab, that's just low - the jerk brother justifies, but the other doesn't say, "whoah, this is their cab, we can't take it" - makes him just as guilty IMO.

Didn't someone else do that a few seasons ago, take another teams cab? I'll admit, I sort of go back and forth between "that's so wrong" and "if it's not against the rules, then all's fair in love and the Race."

seriously! and that didnt set them back, causing their elimination. it was all the other silly mistakes.

I was SO sure Brian/Ericka were gonig down. If they havent lsot now, theyll make top 3.

The two gay guys though - i LMAOed so hard at the blurred out crotches during the volleyball game!

Oh god. I was wondering why they were blurred, but that didn't occur to me at all.

TWOP message board folks are now referring to them as the Boner Brothers lol.

[srmom]

I wondered about that too! I thought maybe their flaps had opened, but now that I remember, one of them had on shorts. Okay, I'm just going to wipe the visions out of my head right now!! but -

LOL

[gee_ess]

Um..I am just wondering how they managed to get*ahem* excited during a volleyball match? Really? Am I just old and totally out of it? If I was playing volleyball, and in the MUD, no less, I think that volleyball would be the number one thing on my mind...

When I saw the blurred out crotches, I just figured it was because the mud was very clingy and their shorts were very revealing.


Still rooting for the Globetrotters...

Stealing cabs is not new on TAR. Remember the season when someone actually called someone else's cab to cancel the reservation? I do think that if I finished a leg of the race first, and the other team was way behind and their cab was just sitting there, I might take it. Especially next week, which is the last leg of the race and therefore really worth a million bucks.

I think you're probably right, but it's not quite as funny that way.

I had forgotten that. Anyone remember who that was?

"...... the Frat boys cancelled everyone else's cabs. They were right, though. It was karma that their cab didn't show. Even funnier is that the other 2 teams blamed it on Joseph."
