I'm ready for the action. I hope there is annoying contestants to root against, heartwarming pairs you just have to root for, and a fair amount of eye candy.

My time zone (EST) has it from 9-11. I guess we could go to the ancient method of looking at the TV Guide.

Hey, Daval. According to my sat. tv menu and CBS, this is race #6.
http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race6/

I'm looking forward to watching this, but I'll have to catch the West coast feed, 'cause I want to watch "House" on FOX.

I wonder if Cyn and his wife will watch tonight's Amazing episode?
They're going to Iceland.

Well I'm a 45 minutes into this show and I really want the models too lose. From the time they said they had travelled extensively and knew the "nuances" of the airport. So funny to see them try and get information about their flight from the Air Canada desk, and the woman told them they "fly to Canada" that was great.

I can't believe the sisters went an hour and a half out of their way to find the waterfall, althought the guy that told them to turn around with hand signals was kinda sneeky, but hey it's a race and I would have done the same thing.

from my journal entry....

Quote:
Wow! Tivo picked up the fact that Iceland was the beginning of the Amazing Race...

They have to find Seljalandfoss. It's a beautiful waterfall that you can walk behind.

<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v141/cynthetiq/1550127.jpg">
Seljalandfoss</div>

A pair of the cars drove too far and wound up at Skogar and next to Skogafoss. We both were laughing at the contestants asking people where the waterfall was. That's like asking a NYer where the Pizza shop is...

<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v141/cynthetiq/h0706.jpg">
Vatnajökull Glacier</div>

From there they had to go to Vatnajökull Glacier and they camped out there overnight. The following morning they had to drive to Glacier Ice Beach, which they mispronounced whatever the name is... it's the beach across the highway from Jökulsárlón. There they had a choice to either do an ice climb on one of the glacial tongues or search for a bouy in Jökulsárlón.

<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v141/cynthetiq/iceland_001_jokulsarlon_sunset.jpg">
Jökulsárlón</div>

Their final destination was Blue Lagoon, which most couldn't find because the signage all says, Bláa Lóniđ. One pair of contestants in their haste put gasoline into a diesel engine instead of reading the gas pump and the actual gas caps.

<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v141/cynthetiq/Blue20Lagoon20-20Good20for20a20swim.jpg">
Bláa Lóniđ</div>

While I'm no fan of most reality TV... this is pretty funny because the letters in Iceland seem familiar, but at the same time... aren't.

It was nice to see some of the sights that Skogafoss and I love so much...

This is my second season of it. I've always wanted to watch the show but never could remember to watch it until last season about half way through when that little midget made me want to kick her in the neck. Don't have anybody I really want to lose badly yet although I'm starting to dislike that muscle bound lady.

Oh and Hera is freakin hot. I hope they are on the show for a while so I can drool over her. Mmmm mmmm hells yeah.

Interesting that there are no gay (at least openly) contestents again. I guess Chip and Richen were the be-all end-all of the gay racers..

Also If I remember correctly, I dont think there has ever been any asian or middle-eastern contestants.

When the annoying yellow shirt guy was standing in the boat even when his wife was telling him to sit down - who else was praying he would fall overboard? That woulda been hillarious!

I also howled with laughter about the airport nuances scene with the models.


Cyn, those are amazing pictures, were you actually there when they filmed? Or just been to many of the same spots?

Gorgeous scenery in Iceland! I agree Jonathan's an ass...she may be a bigger one for being with him. I wonder about the father/daughter team. He doesn't seem to know he's in a race. And I did find it a bit funny that the wrestler's look totally fit, but he had trouble running and keeping up. Next week's looks very interesting...can't wait.

I thought it was hilarious when "yellow shirt" wouldn't sit down when his wife said he should, and after he refused the boat "captain" told him to sit down. (I dislike this team.)

At this point the wrestlers are a funny annoying. They give each other crap, but it is equal. Plus, judging from their ice wrestling, they seem to be a fun couple. (I like them, at this point - the bickering could get old.)

And am I the only one who thinks this version should be alternately titled "Amazing Race 36C?" The cleavage was spilling out everywhere. (I like all of the cleavage teams, so sue me.)

Basically it's a race around the world. They race from country to country doing different little tasks and what not and the winner gets a bunch of money. It's pretty fun once you get into it and pick out your favorites and the people you cheer to fail badly. It's an interesting view in human psychology about how people will back stab lie cheat and do every underhanded thing to win but will get beaten by the nice guys. Or how the underdogs will pull off an upset at something.

If I HAD to go out an travel and see the world that would be how I would want to do it. In a nice little globe trotting race.

OK. I've been debating if I should bring this up, but I just wonder why some of the contestants don't get into shape before entering this contest. It's quite clear from earlier episodes that the race is going to be very strenuous, so why not make an effort to get into reasonable shape? Also, why not take the time to learn the basics of most major languages (Spanish, French, etc)? Reading a map, learning directions, how to drive a stick, and basic geography should also be high on anyone's list of prerequisites before applying for entry.

Just nitpicking....

Best line of the show last night: "The one is accuracy, so you have to be pretty accurate for that one." (Gotta love wrestlers.)

I was so worried when the sisters made the wrong turn that they would be eliminated (see my previous cleavage comments.)

Did anyone notice in the previews that it appeared as though next week Jonathan makes a partial motion to hit his wife while they are in the backseat of the car. It was very subtle, but it looked like he made a small motion to elbow her in the face. I am hoping for a food competition that would cause an allergic reaction for Jonathan.

I'm a bit late commenting as I just saw the episode finally late last night.

I am so glad the hot sisters weren't eliminated. They were doing pretty good all episode untill that one mistake.

I thought the boat race was hillarious, watching the extreme disfunctionality of the 'idiots' boat.

But seriously, I bet the producers were very happy to see the less attractive teams lose early....all they need is for the Dad and Daughter to go away and they will have a race of supermodels left.
