The Amazing Race: All-Stars

[Dback Jon]

yeah - I figured that they were that far ahead. It would have been funny to see them crossing paths.

They do occasinally have 24 hour rest days - that would have kept them from leaving before the other team arrived, but wouldn't negate the huge hole the Guidos are in.

 

[Dback Jon]

IF nothing else for you Charla dislikers - funny video of Charla puking, and looks like she will provide some more comic relief next week.

Looks like that was 2 hours almost entirely because of the massive gaps between teams made it impossible to end after one episode?

I have to admit without Romber the show is flagging a bit, I'm amazed that Danielle and eric are still around. She can be so unintentionally funny sometimes, "I realize Warsaw is not here, where is it?' "Poland?"

At least she knew it wasn't in Zanzibar. I'm betting they break up as soon as the show is over.

They just don't get it. They get in the taxi, immediately make a polish sausage joke to the driver, and then wonder why the driver doesn't seem interested in helping them?

Then the argument later with the other cab driver over money, "I'm not rich. I'm crying and he's laughing at me." They just don't seem to get how condescending they are to everyone.

I KNOW!!!!

And they keep doing the accent thing. Ahhh!! Drives me NUTS!!!!

The Guidos were okay, but there was no way they were coming back from that penalty.

Having a penalty on an intersection is a kiss of death unless you are the first team. Eric & Danielle could relax because they knew that unless something drastic happened they wouldn't be eliminated since they had a 30 minute head start on their partners.

 

[Dback Jon]

It sucked that the Guidos got eliminated instead of E/D. Just not any way really for them to overcome the 30 minute penalty with the intersection.

 

[Zeno]

Anytime now to get Team Cha Cha and Mirna and Smirna eliminated. Then the show will be much more watchable.

I really like Uchenna and Joyce but they already won...its either the Beauty Queens or Eric and Danielle for me.

I LOVE Team Cha Cha Cha! I'd like to see them win. I also love Uchenna and Joyce. If they win again, wow.

 

[Zeno]

Poor Uchena and Joyce, I forgot all about them until the last 10 minutes. They gambled and lost, but at least they have won before.

Yeah. Like they said, "You can't win them all." I like them, though. They seem like good people.

Am still rooting for Cha Cha Cha. I think Eric and Danielle are my second favorite.

 

[Mike Olbinski]

I'd like the BQ's to win, because they are once again playing smart and doing their own thing.

I didn't get their logic for yielding Eric and Danielle, usually you either yield the team you hate(which wasn't the case) or the team in last, because yielding another team is pointless if they still finish ahead of the last
team?

As Danielle said, all they did was make an enemy. You can bet if they get a chance to yield the beauty queens later they will.

They did it because they were the strongest team after them.

If you noticed...the BQ's left the newspaper challenge right when Charla and Mirna got there. As Charla waited, Eric and Danielle appeared.

It seemed like they weren't too far behind and if they hadn't been yielded, they might have been able to beat the BQ's to the pitstop, I dunno.

Yeah I guess maybe it helped them win, but it seems usually the point of the yield is to make sure a team loses so they get eliminated. Since none of them had seen Uchenna and Joyce and they knew they were the first there, I think they had a good idea they were last.

Not a big deal.

I'm also wondering why did they seem to key on Danny and Oswald buying papers from the store not the houses as if that was going to be a rules violation, but nothing was ever said of it? They do that every season they focus on something so you think it's a mistake, and then they don't mention it.

Also on a tangent,was the Malay woman at the pit stop gorgeous or what?

 

[Dback Jon]

Finally watched it. Sorta anti-climatic, since you knew that U/J were screwed.

I think Oswald only bought papers once - but not sure if that was a violation. I have read they don't show all the penalties, especially if it doesn't change the order. It will be interesting to see the start times next week.

It seems that Charla and Mirna should have had a bigger lead than they did - was something closed that they didn't show?

Down to four - E/D, BQ's, C/M and D/O. An all female team has never won, 50% chance of that now.

 

[Dback Jon]

Stupid non-elimination leg I actually figured it was one starting out, and when they had a fast forward, I knew it was one.

Hilarious watching Charla climb the bamboo.

 

[Mike Olbinski]

Still pulling for the BQ's to win it all.

I'm tired of the other teams acting like the BQ's play dirty because they used a Yield that is PART OF THE GAME...where the other teams try to cheat their way onto Standby lists, conspire together, etc.

Anyways...the other teams annoy me...so go BQ's!

 

[Zeno]

I think my level of dislike for Charla and Mirna climbed even further last night. I wish one of the beauty queens would have decked that fake accented snot.

If I hear "blah blah, my friend..." one more time.

 

[Dback Jon]

E/D are starting to grow a little on me.

All four teams have their annoying bits. Still love the Cha-cha-cha's - by far the most entertaining team.

Agreed, I'm still not clear why the guy bumped Eric and Dani when he clearly knew that Mirna and Shmirna did NOT have their names on the list ahead of them they'd just used someone else's code which was not theirs?

I guess all is fair in love and war but if that had been an elimination leg it would have really sucked.

So my guess for the treachery next week. Danny and Oswald are short money, so Eric and Dani will offer them money in exchange for agreeing to use the yield. The question, will they ask them to yield the BQ's or Mirna and Shmirna?

I'm guessing it will be the BQ's will be the target.

You are probably right, I am pulling for the BQ's but also don't get why they used the yield at that particular time. Eric’s deal has to be to take out Dustin/Kandice. If you were in the top three would you want BQ or MC yielded?

Strategically it would be dumb to get rid of MC, the last leg always comes down to a foot race and both Mirna and Charla are weak when it comes to speed, I don’t recall too many final legs that came down to a situation that she could use her “…, my friend” shtick, it is usually flat out racing for the last teams. And as much as I like them and dislike Mirna and Charla if I'm racing I take out Dustin and Kandice in a heartbeat, they are too strong to leave in for the final leg.

There is always the chance that Eric is as dumb as he presents himself and allows his dislike of MC over power his anger at BQ but I doubt it.

Agreed footrace means keep Charla in as long as you can. Plus Eric shook hands with Mirna to get out the BQ's last night. That was before they stole their spot of course but he may overlook that.

I think Eric is relatively smart he just has the fatal male gene that prevents us from asking for directions, and Danielle keeps calling him on it which makes him more determined to NOT do it.
