The Amazing Race

[Mike Olbinski]

Anyone watching this? Survivor is done, now this is the next best thing...man I love this show. I only saw the first few episodes of TAR 1, and none of the other two, but this show just rocks.

And before I get blasted by Sanders and CO. for this being a typical realtiy show capitalizing on the misfortunes of others, watch the show. It's just a really long, obstacle-course filled marathon...what a great idea.

When you watch the show, you get stressed out thinking how you would be acting in that situation. I told my wife there was no way we could do it together, I'd probably piss her off after just a few hours.

IT was a nice opener last night, everyone seems interesting. I'm going for the foul-mouthed girl and the clowns...gotta love the noses at the end.

Pulling for the clowns.

This is the 1st one that we had seen too.

The groups are funny as heck.

- A dysfunctional young man and his father - "I don't want those blondies with the fake boobs to catch the plane!" Hilariuos - he finally gets revenge on the type of girl that probably teased him in high school.

- a couple that have been dating for 12 years and are still virgins.

- a forty something out of shape couple - they made my wife cry due to their undying loyalty to each other.

- an engaged psycho couple - potty mouth central - you're an idiot - move your dumb-ass over!

- 2 professional clowns - these guys are pretty cool

- a couple of long time guy friends

- 2 models (the blonde fake boobied ones) one of them stops for an espresso in Milan in the middle of the race

- 2 wifes of Atlanta Falcon players

- 2 gay guys who are married to each other

- another couple who are "just friends"


and I am missing 2 others.

Very entertaining show.

Missed the opener - was out of town - but I watched the other shows.

One of the best "reality" shows. They do a great job getting interesting "couples".

We'll stop talking to you and maybe you'll go away

Should I go back and watch the rest of Amazing Race? I started on Season 12.

No. You can just start on this season unless you have severely immense idle time.
