The Amazing Race: Season 15

Re: The Amazing Race: Season 15

It was an ok episode.

I fully expected a flight or something that would bunch the teams up again at the beginning based on the previous luck roadblock/several hours between teams. I've gotten to the pointthat I'm ok with such things as it makes each leg competitive and therefore more entertaining to watch.
 
Re: The Amazing Race: Season 15

I like how the remaining teams have developed some animosity amongst themselves. The Race hasn't had a whole lot of rivalries in recent seasons so it's nice to see.

The only team that's genuinely likeable is the Globetrotters, mostly because they have shown some heart and a sense of humor. But all the teams have shown reasons to dislike them too. I think they did a nice job casting this year.

Miss America will be the next team out, setting up a great final three. I am expecting a great finish this year.

Know what you mean. There was a time when it bothered me because it artificially eroded a lead that a team had worked hard for, but... it's just a game show.

"Candle-a-BRA"? Really?

I'm tired of the Trotters but they are a very tough team. The whole elbows are in play whine -- cry me a river. Barbie and Ken are my slight odds-on favorite at this point because they have been cooperating. It's surprising Miss America finds her way out of the house in the morning. And it just took me five minutes to remember the fourth team: the gay bros have completely disappeared from the story arc.

I think the whole collision was overblown. They were running and they got tangled. That's it. Get over it!

I have to agree that it was pretty stupid for several reasons.

1. It was the Trotters who went the wrong way, then running along a narrow path they expected the brothers to just move out of the way to let them through?

2. Secondly they knew where they were going to finish so both teams were fighting for what 5 seconds? They knew Ken and Barbie were ahead of them and would get the weeks swag for finishing first and they knew Mr & Ms. America were behind them they didn't know where father and son were so they were going to finish 2cd & 3rd or 3rd and 4th. No difference other than seconds when they start again.

I suppose it was possible that K&B were serving a penalty, and the race was for the first place goodies. But I agree with you.

That's what I've been told by kids here who visited Tallin 3 years ago on our Training Ship as a port of call. It was the big favorite amongst everybody, lots of brothel's there too.
 
Re: The Amazing Race: Season 15

Pretty good leg today, Prague is a beautiful city, although one of the challenges should have involved drinking Budvar or Absinthe. :D

Little bit of Dirty pool by the brothers stealing Ms. America's cab especially after they were complaining last week about the Trotters trying to steal their cab. Trick would have been for Ms. America to not have paid the cab driver the full fare, or anything at all, to get him to wait unless the brothers were willing to cough up the remaining fare. It was poor planning on the other 3 teams part at the roadblock for not asking their cabs to wait for them.

I actually have a photo of myself on the St Charles Bridge with Prague Castle in the background where Phil was when he announced the pit stop.

The best part of this leg was the teams getting dissed by the Opera Singer. :D

Talinn is a big destination for Ryanair. A lot of Britons have weekend houses there and it's the bachelor party capital of Europe.

My favorite was right at the beginning. "Prague? Do they speak Spanish there?" then, "Prague is a country." I keep saying that inevitably someone speaks Spanish to a cab driver in a non-Spanish speaking country - this is a nice new twist :)

I thought this was the best leg so far this year. The kayak/rope line challenge was great, it looked so easy but was deceptively hard. I enjoyed how a few teams tried alternative transportation rather than just jumping in cabs.

And the claws are coming out, Barbie & Ken bickering over Ken's stupid yanking away of the nice Czech woman's notebook, how Flight Time handled Ken's accusations about blocking him getting down the ladder, and of course the stolen cab. And yes, the singer was great (they should let the local actors out of their shell more often). Plus Flight Time dancing to the opera singer was absolutely hysterical.

Nonelimination of course, with the luck challenge and the producers needed to keep Miss America around to continue the stolen-cab drama.
 
Re: The Amazing Race: Season 15

Any episode involving Prague is bound to be great. I was disappointed the outdoor event didn't involve something local. "Prague has a rich cultural history that goes back over one thousand years -- but, hey, look at this kayak course!" :confused: :p

Apparently they spend the next episode doing challenges over night in the city, so maybe it will be something with Czech significance, like a defenestration.

Looked like they were moving a Golem and using Communist resistance tactics for compiling a code on a series of phones.

I love Prague. It was so fun watching this episode and saying "I remember that! I remember that place! Hey look, the Astronomical Clock! Ooh, we were in that theater, our hotel is 4 blocks from there."

Just so much fun. I miss traveling. Stupid baby.
 
Re: The Amazing Race: Season 15

Meghan and Cheynne are smoking the other teams. It looks like its their race to lose.

Gay bros need to die.

Oh, and learn from the Trotters. Stay in school!
