Amazing Race 16 - Villains, Barbie Dolls, and Wierdoes In Exotic Locales, Oh my!

Re: Amazing Race 16 - Villains, Barbie Dolls, and Wierdoes In Exotic Locales, Oh my!

I'm still not in to this version of the Race. pretty mundane tonight though they brought back the Intersection for the first time in a while. Don't really like this were you have to wait for another team to show up. It looks like only one team succumbed to the sauerkraut and beer with a puke fest but they didn't even do the sauerkraut challenge. I would have thought more teams would have done the sauerkraut challenge unless you can't eat it at all that seemed like a really easy challenge.

Tonight was a violation of my rule: do not do the food challenges. It actually looked doable.

I'm really glad Bemused and His Boobs were not eliminated, they have become my favorite team. Dad and Daughter get cooler each week, too.

OTOH, Carrie Prejean just gets more hateful every episode.

The sauerkraut didn't look that bad, but I like sauerkraut. Of course, when deciding not knowing how big the plate of sauerkraut was or how long the song was might make it a tough decision. Besides, soccer sounds fun too.

I was dissapointed that not every team was excited to drink a boot of beer. The one girl's face was hilarious.

Ok episode. I'm glad it was non-elimination as it would suck to lose because of an idiotic cab driver. (that was the team with stupid cab driver...right? I get big brother and miss south carolina teams confused).

Yeah, that was team big brother...

Germany is a boring destination. The trains are well organized and run on time, and there's no language barrier.

Did anyone catch that the Big Brother blondie was drinking a Coke while she let her partner down the boot of beer?

Miss SC had a bonehead comment, too (I forget exactly what she said), she's running on a pace of about once a week.

Also: disappointing that they went from Chile to Bariloche via bus. There is a supernifty sea-land-sea-land-sea Cruce de Lagos that includes a place called Puerto Blest. The hotel there would have made an awesome pit stop - it's the closest thing to the hotel in The Shining as you can get. It was creepy on a sunny Tuesday.

The Hotel In the Shining

Agree was a pretty boring leg, not really anything challenging, just get stuff done and move on.
 
Re: Amazing Race 16 - Villains, Barbie Dolls, and Wierdoes In Exotic Locales, Oh my!

I've been to the one where they shot the outdoor scenes (Timberline Lodge, Oregon). They didn't use the interiors but they should have -- it's one of the most beautiful hotels in the US. Spooky as all hell at night. All WPA work, too.

Germany's always fun because you can see the old guys sitting around in the bars thinking, "how on earth did we lose to these idiots?"

Logistics, baby. It's all about the guys with clipboards.

I hate to see a team leave because of a cab error or mechanical problems. I'd rather have them lose for not being able to accomplish a task or a navigation mistake of their own.

Big brother team and Miss SC team are similar. The ditzy girls are with level headed guys. How they dared let those girls venture out on their own was a scarey thought.

The father/daughter team are becoming likable as someone already has said.

The father/daughter team has always been likable the issue for them was they got very little camera time in the first few episodes besides painting the wrong house. Which fwiw was one of the funniest unintentional comedy moments in Amazing Race history.

Here's the thing about Amazing Race. Was that really this season? Because it feels like it was about 3 years ago. I enjoy the show, but for whatever reason it really drags. Or maybe watching people stand around in airports does not leave a feeling of continuity that comes from compelling drama. ;) :p

I liked them from the start, but I figured they were an early exit since they got no screen time. I think they have a good shot since they are both in shape and seem relatively sane.
 
Re: Amazing Race 16 - Villains, Barbie Dolls, and Wierdoes In Exotic Locales, Oh my!

I love the cowboys. They just get it done. With a smile. Have you noticed that they don't complain? Or get wound up about another team? They just take care of business. And they're funny. "You don't have to pedal a horse."

Poor Miss South Carolina says the dumbest things. I think I heard her say she was going to eat the *bleep* out of the baguette. Really?

All in all, not a tough episode. I think the only team that picked up a place was the cowboys, because the gay brothers are, well...gay. And karma got Mighty Mouth. I thought U-Turning them was a bad move. With his bum knee, I didn't see him as a serious threat. I would have U-turned the cowboys, they are the most serious threat. But I'm sure glad to have them around. They are definitely my favorites. And my favorites to win.
 
Re: Amazing Race 16 - Villains, Barbie Dolls, and Wierdoes In Exotic Locales, Oh my!

The cowboys are tiresome, I strongly dislike them. And who ever heard of a cowboy who doesn't drink? Sacrilege.

Carrie Prejean said she was glad the baguette "didn't have any crazy crap in it." Like, I dunno, basil.

I would definitely have U-turned the cowboys, if anybody, they, the firemen, and the models (as long as there are no puzzles) are the strongest teams. It wasn't clear that a blind U-turn burns up your one U-turn chance -- if so, I don't know why anybody U-turns when they're in first; that makes no sense.

This. :) :) :) They and the blond with the (excuse me, utterly amazing) boobs are my favorite teams as far as likability, although I wish the blond's boyfriend and the Shrew Lesbian could be erased, leaving the blond with the Pleasant Lesbian.

They don't drink or swear. "Oh my gravy."

Joe and Heidi hurt themselves with their arrogance. Thats why Louie and Mike chose them. They're detectives not firemen.

Your busty blonde will not last long if she keeps forgetting she's in a race.

I put that one down to the guy being a major jerk, not the girl dogging it.

I agree she's at risk every week, though. There are still some weak teams -- the girls have worse chemistry, the brothers are not good at... at anything. But unless she and her psycho boyfriend can pull it together, they won't be top 3.

Ever since they said they were undercover detectives I've been hoping they were undercover something else -- firemen, accountants, assassins. Otherwise... well, cover's blown.

lol.

I don't want Big Brother or teen South Carolina to win, but I enjoy watching both teams.

I like the cowboys and the father daughter team (they're still in it, right...they get very little face time).


I was surprised the detectives used the U-turn, especially when in first place. It certainly defeats the purpose of a "blind" u-turn when the team you u-turn is likely in 2nd at that point...they'll know who it was. And agreed that while Joe's attitude may have been annoying, his knee would have probably kept him from being competitive. If you want to win the race take out your strongest competition when you can.

They're still in it and I think they're great. They just don't do anything snarky or stupid (except paint that guy's house), and the daughter's not slutty or inane, so they aren't good TV.
