Anyone still watching Amazing Race?

We watched the two most recent episodes yesterday, and OH GRACIOUS GOODNESS. I actually *want* to watch the show again, now that they've got rid of the two teams I absolutely despised. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I still don't really care for Ken and Tina or Andrew and Dan, but liking 2 of 4 teams is way better than liking 2 of 6. Speaking of K&T, did anyone else think Tina kind of looked awesome with that green hair in the India episode? Too bad she couldn't keep it!

I'm still watching! I looked away and quickly scrolled though your post though as I haven't watched this weeks yet--I watch them about a week late :)

I still love it though--and the stupidity of last week's--with the dye and electrical lines--was really something to behold :)

*closes eyes while hitting post comment*

Yes, oh man, the India episode was just classic TAR. I loved watching the divorcees get completely caked with paint. *cackle*

I used to not like Ken and Tina, but you know what? They came in last on that one leg, they got speed-bumped, they kept a good attitude, and they came back. Good for them! So I like them a little more now.

On the other hand, you know who I hate? Everybody who FAILS TO READ DIRECTIONS. There's been an awesome trend of that costing teams big time, and that makes me happy.

I definitely dislike Ken and Tina a lot less than I used to, but I still don't want them to win or anything. ;-) Oh, it was also awesome that they helped Dandrew figure out that one task, even though they said later that they shouldn't have done it.

That last leg featured a spectacular amount of direction-reading FAIL. Lots of screaming at the TV.

Yes, I don't want Ken & Tina to win either. I want it to come down to Nick & Starr vs. Toni & Dallas, and then Starr wins, breaks Dallas's heart, and makes out with me. That's good TV.

I want Toni and Dallas to win. :) But then, Starr's not a cheerleader anymore, so she could probably use the money...

:P

She's not? That makes her even more attractive in my eyes.

OMG, I love the Amazing Race!! I'm ready to be rid of Andrew and Dan though. But honestly, as long as Dallas and Toni stick around, I'm good. He cracks me up to no end. (The cow costume kickline? I about fell off my couch laughing.)

At this point I think dumb luck is all that's keeping Dandrew in the race. They're just such bad racers. I hope the promo with Nick and Starr is overexaggerating the trouble they run into.

I love Dallas and Toni! They're so low-drama and work so well together. Dallas was hilarious in that cow costume!

I'm still watching! I liked Phil's dad showing up in New Zealand!

That was awesome! "Welcome to New Zealand. I'm Phil's dad!"

I watch it, because I'm totally addicted, and I'm soooo rooting for Toni and Dallas! I'm a sucker for the parent/kid teams.
:)
yeah...not so much a fan of Tina.

Yay Toni and Dallas!

I'd given up on it and didn't watch at least the last 2 episodes -- maybe 3. But this season has been fun. And, at last, someone else I can say, when I saw the two geek guys (now long eliminated for NOT READING THE FRACKIN CLUE), "Why is Tim Zahn running the Amazing Race????"
I thought Terrance was a jerk, but he grew on me. It was T3 who first observed that he really was getting much nicer as the episodes progressed. I thought Sarah was aweseome -- did you notice that she managed to learn a few words of the language in whatever country they were in?

I did notice that, but then quickly got more depressed when I realized that the only words she'd bothered to learn were "go fast" and "hurry". :-)

"Why is Tim Zahn running the Amazing Race????"

LOL! Yes!

Terrence and Sarah just grated on my nerves because they were so very unsuited to each other. It was painful to see them not work well together. :(
