Does anyone follow The Amazing Race here?

riveting, can't believe i brushed it off before....

Lord Humungus · 07-25-2003, 02:32 PM

yea i watch it. i think its fantasic! what really amazes me is all the camera work involved and the way they do it.

bondagegirl · 07-25-2003, 02:53 PM

I'm so glad someone started a thread about this show, I was just about to!

This show is awesome. Probably the only "reality" show I try to watch all the time! (and the only one I'm not ashamed to watch

) It's so interesting, seeing where they are going to go next time. And it's so completely unpredictable, unlike other "reality" (jeez I hate that word) shows. I mean a team can be ahead for the game almost and make one little tiny mistake, or get a crappy cab driver, etc. and loose the game.
Like what happened last night!!!

That was crazy last night, kelly and jon almost gave up because they they were so far behind after making so many mistakes, and they actually made it! I hated them for most of the game but when I finally found out that they were up against mille and chuck I was rootin for them! I'm such a geek!

Who's everyones favorite? I kind of would like to see Jon and Al win... They get along so well and are having fun with the game and help everyone as much as they can. The models became my favorite on the episode they got kicked off, I was bummed! I hated them the whole time they were on the show, then I decided, you know they are the only Girl-Girl team, so I thought it would be cool if they won. Then they go and get kicked off on that same episode! grr

But anyways those are my geeky thoughts... I hope others are as into this show as I am!

Blu2e354 · 07-25-2003, 02:54 PM

Yes, the amazing race is a good show the way the tide can turn at any second almost like it is staged.The camera work is incredible. I want the clowns to win

dimbulb · 07-25-2003, 03:46 PM

I'm rooting for the clowns. They seem to be having the most fun out of all the teams.

I hate kelly and jon though. They're both pretty mean people. But I can't help feeling frustrated whenever i watch Millie. I think Chuck must be the MOST patient guy in the world. She's quite the liability. Witness the Fish Cages and her wonderful navigation. Not to mention her constantly stressing herself and Chuck out. And of course her breakdown in the SUV.

metrodub · 08-20-2003, 12:00 PM

Season (and possibly series) finale tomorrow night!

Although the teams aren't as interesting as seasons past, this has been a fun and exciting season. I'm rooting for the Goats. Hope Jon and Kelly finish last with Riechen and Chip just slightly ahead of them.

Yes, the Goats aren't glamorous or controversial but I can't stand the ugliness that is Jon and Kelly (their personalities, not their looks) and the hypocricy of Riechen and Chip (the last straw was when one of them yelled at the cab driver in South Korea to learn English!!...and you want people to respect you because you're gay?)

I hope there is a season 5. This is the best reality show on TV (hell, one of the best shows period...outside of Scrubs and 24) and as bondagegirl says, the only one I try to watch every week.

Mr. Spacemonkey · 08-20-2003, 01:15 PM

I never really started watching the show, but if it is as good as you all say it is, then i might watch the next season, that's if they have.

Aanyankah · 08-20-2003, 01:16 PM

Oops, it's only just starting here in australia, i'll have to steer clear of spoilers :O

Derwood · 08-20-2003, 03:12 PM

I was cheering for Jon and Al and/or Reichen and Chip from the start. I'm rooting for Reichen and Chip now. Jon and Kelly are like Fran and Zach last year.....the bitchy team that keeps giving up yet somehow keeps getting through. I was so pissed that F&Z won last year... The Goats are just generic. They are expected to win, so what fun is that? Go Reichen and Chip!

fearofmear · 08-20-2003, 03:33 PM

I actually like this show. It is the only "reality" show I have sat down and watched for a whole episode. I am rooting for Jon and Kelly to win or the surfer dudes. The shorter gay guy defines the term "Ugly American". I'd sugggest for any hardcore fans to check out the hilarious recaps on televisionwithoutpity.com. That is how I heard about the show.

micah67 · 08-20-2003, 03:55 PM

I missed last week's due to the blackout (TIVO recorded an hour of the east code DirecTV feed of "technical difficulties"). I was hoping for a repeat but it doesn't sound like that's going to happen. Who got eliminated?

fearofmear · 08-20-2003, 05:26 PM

Last week was a non-elimination leg.

frankgrimes · 08-20-2003, 05:26 PM

non elimination round last week, if memory serves, goats came first, then chimp and reichen, then jon and kelly. i imagine they'll all catch the same flight from oz to the u.s and will go from there, anyones game. with the clowns gone, im rooting for the goats. jon and kelly were pretty bad, but i prefer them over chip and reichen since the yelling at the cab driver incident.

Derwood · 08-21-2003, 09:23 AM

I can't get too pissed about the korean cab driver moment, as in the heat of this race, i'm sure patience is at zero. Not a great moment for them for sure, but I'm still rooting for them. I think it was very brave of the producers to pick a married gay couple who don't scream out with "Queer Eye" type gay stereotypes. The token gay players in Survivor are almost always flaming queens (same with Real World). Theworld needs to know that most gay men aren't richard simmons

Fremen · 08-21-2003, 04:03 PM

Yup, it's a good show....oops! The finale is on now. Gotta scram!

Loup · 08-21-2003, 07:36 PM

Do they have camera's in the cars that they drive, or are there a camera crew following around each pair of people? There are scenes when they jump into a car and it is clearly them two, and then they have an in-car camera showing the discussions. But with the taxis, there has to be a camera man following them. Any idea on how they are doing the camera work?

HeyAgain · 08-21-2003, 07:58 PM

They have a cameraman for each group. If you notice throughout the serie, the cameraman always sits Shotgun (the front passenger seat) to capture both members in action.

Additional crew members are placed at each location to film the “Detour” and “Road Block"

Good to see Chip and Reichen winning.

bondagegirl · 08-21-2003, 09:05 PM

Definitely a good ending to the show. Man! Kelly and Jon did pretty damn well! I was very surprised. Poor David and Jeff though. Screwed up BADLY. Didn't even get to celebrate with the other teams! Woo Hoo for chip and reichen!

micah67 · 08-22-2003, 08:30 AM

That seems to be the status-quo for the show. The third place finishers don't aren't even close. They're stuck out in the middle of nowhere going, "Huh? It's over?"

metrodub · 08-22-2003, 08:31 AM

As soon as David and Jeff grabbed that flight to Sydney I told my wife that it was over for them...didn't do any research on other options.

They must have really been out of the race if the producers were able to create a flyer that stated that Reichen and Chip had won!

Good ending, but not as tense as seasons past.

I pray that CBS provides us with an Amazing Race 5!

Derwood · 08-22-2003, 11:45 AM

wel l the sydney flight put them a full day behind, which is how the flier got placed
