Official Thread for Amazing Race 7 (Spoilers could ensue) - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

BonesCPA · 03-02-2005, 06:53 AM

So it started last night. Although it may be too much to ask for another Victoria and Jon, we do seem to have some couples that could work their way that direction.

I was hoping the southern buddies would have lasted a little longer. They seemed like they were going to be fun.

And the "they're all against us" mantra of Rob and Amber is going to get old.

Daval · 03-02-2005, 06:56 AM

Well, a new season of Amazing Race has begun (already!).

All in all was a good episode and the teams look interesting.

Initially I was rooting for the POW guy, but I dunno, by the end of the episode I was actually hoping he would be eliminated instead of the hicks who I found a lot more entertaining.

I think the two teams of hot chicks will be entertaining as hell

I also thought that Rob & Amber rawked and will be great fun this year, I hope they do very well.

ShaniFaye · 03-02-2005, 06:58 AM

I've never watched this show....I wanted to watch this one since Ron is from here and Im a huge survivor fan and Im interested in the Rob and Amber angle. The producer of the show was on a local radio station yesterday talking about how pissed off everybody was Rob and Amber were on it and how everybody really was against them lol

Unfortunately I wasnt where I could watch last nite darn it....I hate missing the first episode of something

Daval · 03-02-2005, 07:02 AM

I merged the two threads we started minutes apart

inharmony · 03-02-2005, 07:41 AM

Was a great start I thought. Couple of teams may get annoying but isn't that what we hope for?

Noone's mentioned the spitting llamas...that was funny! Rob and Amber are definitely hated no doubt...think the line has been drawn. Can't wait til next week!

Lockjaw · 03-02-2005, 10:58 AM

I guess I won't understand the whole Rob and Amber thing since I don't care for Survivor but I was really hoping the POW guy and the two bigguns would have made it through. Those two guys were funny as hell and it would have been funny seeing them running through Europe. Oh well can't have everything. I just hope nobody shows their ass like last time.

Fremen · 03-02-2005, 12:20 PM

The two brothers are worth keeping an eye on.
They seem to be a train wreck waiting to happen.

Looking good so far.

mrklixx · 03-02-2005, 02:58 PM

I too was disappointed that the good 'ol boys got eliminated, they looked like they would have been fun.

I guess they are making up for the absence of a gay team last season with 1&1/2 gay teams this season.

And holy macanoliel!! 20Gs for leg first place!

brianna · 03-02-2005, 03:00 PM

the recapper on televisionwithoutpity.com seems to think that "life long friends" is code for "hot lesbian action" -- i'm not sure if i buy it.

In my dream version of this show the POW and beauty queen stop talking about being a POW and a beauty queen, all of the teams get a little less lazy and actually make an effort to get on the faster flight, and the gay couple hook up with the gay son in a massive orgy.

a girl can dream.

happyraul · 03-02-2005, 05:21 PM

I'm actually relieved to see the teams not get so worked up about getting on that earlier flight, considering how often the producers mangle their destinations such that the teams all end up together waiting for the place to open. It's simply a waste of energy and leads to conflict when they freak out about stuff like that. Of course, that's what we like to see, but I for one get a little tired of seeing teams sprint somewhere only to realize they did it for nothing.

I like most of the teams this season, the first episode was pretty good, but where was the road block?

As far as Rob and Amber, considering that everyone is against them, I think their mantra is more than justified. My least favorite team is the kid and his mother, simply because he annoys me with his envy of Rob and Amber's prior success. Go Rob and Amber!

Locke7 · 03-02-2005, 08:50 PM

Wow, another great season is headed our way. I loved the first two hours. I too, like most of you was saddened to see the two that left. Those guys cracked me up. And the emotion they showed that they were truly friends, I love that!

I'm a big survivor fan, haven't missed an episode since day 1. I'm huge Rob and Amber fans. So I automatically dislike mom and son team. Was that there house they were walking in front of at the beginning of the show talking about "we aren't the Cleaver's." Not sure if they really need the mil.

Gay boys are annoying, but make me laugh like crazy. And what's with the chicks that won. I know chicks kiss and hold hands and stuff. But the way they call each other babe makes me think lesbian. Watch close next time, and chat about it here.

My favorite though. The brothers. They didn't do well, but I like them a lot and my wife thinks they are hot. I think the chicks in about last place are hot.

Well can't wait for next week. And we'll miss you kris and john (last season). No team has been hotter than you 2.

silent_jay · 03-03-2005, 08:28 AM

Shitty the Southern buddies lost that really sucks. I'm hating the mother-son team, thier whole game seems to be based on getting Rob and Amber out of the game. The POW guy will get annoying quick, I wish he had lost the first show.

Seems like another great season can't wait till next week.

Daval · 03-03-2005, 10:39 AM

Who was the guy doing the cartwheels and flips in the streets? Was that one of the racers? I was flinching watching that waiting for him to fall on his head. Was pretty cool.

Locke7 · 03-03-2005, 11:59 AM

No, the guy doing flips was just some guy helping one of the teams out.

Daval · 03-03-2005, 12:51 PM

ah, ok, i thought it mighta been a local.

boom29 · 03-03-2005, 10:26 PM

This season's teams seem to be more complex than last, much more diversity in the type of teams. I'm happy to see they went to South America for a change, having only watched last season, it seemed that they were completely avoiding the continent.

Daval · 03-09-2005, 11:47 AM

pretty uneventful episode of AR last night. Rob and Amber are the far superior team. I don't know why everyone assumes that Rob is dumb, he's obviously very bright to win survivor and dominate Amazing Race like he has been doing.

Locke7 · 03-09-2005, 12:03 PM

One thing that is helping most teams out this season is how many of them speak some spanish (some even fluently). I wonder where they are headed next, once they don't have a common language any more some of these teams might be in trouble.

Was sorry to see the hot chicks get kicked out, but them and the hot boys just kind of suck at this game it seems, just can't get ahead.

Rob and Amber never cease to amaze if you ask me. I mean c'mon, "I used to work construction so I know how to stack stuff." And he goes and stacks all 180 or whatever books, when everyone else could only do half that much at a time.

Actually kind of a boring episode last night though. I mean really, the challenge was moving books or buying groceries... Sounds more like jobs that pay minimum wage than challenge in a race to win a million dollars.

BonesCPA · 03-09-2005, 03:04 PM

Was a slow paced episode. And although I didn't think I would ever say this, but I am starting to root for Rob and Amber. Two great moves in one week:almost being succesful at paying off a guy to hide info and stacking the books for one trip. I am sure they will annoy me soon enough, but for now...

kutulu · 03-09-2005, 03:26 PM

I can't believe how much people underrate Rob and Amber. The player hating is funny. I think the dating on and off couple will have a meltdown soon

Slavakion · 03-09-2005, 07:01 PM

Rob and Amber are hilarious. Paying the security guard to not give information (too bad he pointed out Rob) and paying the bus driver (or not paying, more like). It's like they're trying to mess with the whole contest.

Fremen · 03-10-2005, 12:03 AM

Funniest part in last night's episode was when Rob said he and a couple of other teams chipped in on the bribe money for the bus driver, but Rob held his back when he paid him.

You gotta hand it to him, the boy is a survivor.

inharmony · 03-10-2005, 05:45 AM

I missed this episode

I can understand why people would not want Rob and Amber to win, not like they need the money, but them having more money has nothing to do with how well they make it in this race. They work well together obviously. And no matter how much you dislike Rob, the guy is pretty damn smart imo. Not missing next week!!

Daval · 03-10-2005, 11:38 AM

They won 1 million on survivor. Thats not a huge amount of money after taxes. You certianly couldnt retire on it.

inharmony · 03-10-2005, 12:21 PM

I didn't say anything about retiring...I was just saying this is why some of the other players may dislike them.

Daval · 03-16-2005, 05:12 AM

Jesus christ, the other hot chicks are now gone! That sucks!

Rob again displayed that he is the master of this game, what a wicked strategy! Although he was a bit wussy about not eating everything he guaranteed himself a decent checkin slot by talking the other teams into quitting the roadblock. I respect that guy!

I was so praying for the mother and son to get eliminated, those girls, although they made a fatal mistake, were good competitors and great eye candy.

The gay guys who won seriously annoy me with their cattyness.

Janey · 03-16-2005, 05:27 AM

in retrospect, once Rob & Amber had ensured that they would be at least 4 hours behind the current racers, I would not have caved to his suggestion to not eat. I would have leasurely spent up to 3 hrs to consume that wonderful meal and be ahead of the game.

honestly, I wanted to smack that kid one good, for the way he was treating his mother. disgraceful.

inharmony · 03-16-2005, 05:27 AM

Rob is way more intelligent than people give him credit for. I was impressed by their strategy during the eating challenge. Stealing the girls taxi I also thought was funny, not that it really paid off in anyway... it just shows how he's constantly playing the game. The gay guys are really starting to annoy me. I sort of liked them in the beginning, but now it's getting very old quickly. I was really surprised the guy team took the choice of biking.

Daval · 03-16-2005, 05:42 AM

It did say in the description (and the players see the same description as we hear with even more details) it said that a strong team could finish quickly - faster than the boats.

Those two guys are in great shape and I think they made a sound decision and could have leapfrogged forwards in the game. Its just really bad luck that they got a flat tire

Lockjaw · 03-16-2005, 06:01 AM

As I said I never watched Survivor but that Rob dude impressed me with that little ploy. He manipulated the others like a bunch of puppets. Every guy on there that didn't finish should be ashamed of themselves. That little skinny girl at the end put that 4 lbs of meat away like it was nothing,and then that little skinny prick even though he was drama queening did the same. There was no reason the other groups of people couldn't have gotten that food down.

I hate though that Utena and his wife got lost from the detour to the pit stop. When I saw what the detour was I was POSITIVE they would come in first because he's a big guy,and there was food involved. After seeing that I really hate again that the biggin's from the first show got eliminated. I would have died laugh at them possibly getting there last one of them wolfing down that barbcoa and jetting out to first 2 hours ahead of everybody else while everybody else was bitching about it being too much to eat.

Locke7 · 03-16-2005, 07:52 AM

First off, I think Rob knew that he wouldn't lose even with the 4 hour loss of time, and on the next stage of the race, they will travel somewhere and probalby have to wait half a day for it to open and they'll all be tied again. That's the one part of the race I am not a fan of. I'd love to see some teams get really far ahead, and then give some cutoff point. Say you are 36 hours behind, you just lose, you don't even get to keep going... That would be a major change in the show, but the whole leaving 4 hours before the next person means nothing when they are always leaving in the middle of the night, and their first stop almost always is closed till morning...

How many of you think you could digest 4 pounds of food in one sitting. That is A LOT!

Lockjaw · 03-16-2005, 02:55 PM

I could. It would take me a bit but it wouldn't be a problem. But then again I like to eat and I've polished off a massive porterhouse steak,fries,a salad, and a few glasses of water before. I wasn't feeling too hot for about 16 hours after that but I did it. I figure if such big things were on the line I could put it down. I CERTAINLY could do it after seeing that little waif of a woman do it.

Maybe he tried and they just didn't show it. Riding on railroad tracks can be kind of rough even with tires, but without tires it would probably be a real nutbuter.

dirtyrascal7 · 03-17-2005, 06:47 AM

anyone think they could get through the road block from last episode? i couldn't believe they expected all the teams to do that. if it were me, i'd drink a ton of water with each bite so that i'd puke faster.

oh, and i HIGHLY doubt 4 pounds of meat is actually a "traditional Argentine meal".

I disagree about him not winning Survivor.
Rob didn't win Survivor their way, he won it his own sneaky way.

inharmony Psycho Location: happy place	Rob is way more intelligent than people give him credit for. I was impressed by their strategy during the eating challenge. Stealing the girls taxi I also thought was funny, not that it really paid off in anyway... it just shows how he's constantly playing the game. The gay guys are really starting to annoy me. I sort of liked them in the beginning, but now it's getting very old quickly. I was really surprised the guy team took the choice of biking. __________________ "You can't shake hands with a clenched fist." Ghandi "Things do not change: We change" Henry David Thoreau

Daval Junkie Location: The True North Strong and Free!	It did say in the description (and the players see the same description as we hear with even more details) it said that a strong team could finish quickly - faster than the boats. Those two guys are in great shape and I think they made a sound decision and could have leapfrogged forwards in the game. Its just really bad luck that they got a flat tire __________________ "It is impossible to obtain a conviction for sodomy from an English jury.

Lockjaw Junkie	As I said I never watched Survivor but that Rob dude impressed me with that little ploy. He manipulated the others like a bunch of puppets. Every guy on there that didn't finish should be ashamed of themselves. That little skinny girl at the end put that 4 lbs of meat away like it was nothing,and then that little skinny prick even though he was drama queening did the same. There was no reason the other groups of people couldn't have gotten that food down. I hate though that Utena and his wife got lost from the detour to the pit stop. When I saw what the detour was I was POSITIVE they would come in first because he's a big guy,and there was food involved. After seeing that I really hate again that the biggin's from the first show got eliminated. I would have died laugh at them possibly getting there last one of them wolfing down that barbcoa and jetting out to first 2 hours ahead of everybody else while everybody else was bitching about it being too much to eat.

Locke7 Insane	First off, I think Rob knew that he wouldn't lose even with the 4 hour loss of time, and on the next stage of the race, they will travel somewhere and probalby have to wait half a day for it to open and they'll all be tied again. That's the one part of the race I am not a fan of. I'd love to see some teams get really far ahead, and then give some cutoff point. Say you are 36 hours behind, you just lose, you don't even get to keep going... That would be a major change in the show, but the whole leaving 4 hours before the next person means nothing when they are always leaving in the middle of the night, and their first stop almost always is closed till morning... How many of you think you could digest 4 pounds of food in one sitting. That is A LOT!

Lockjaw Junkie	I could. It would take me a bit but it wouldn't be a problem. But then again I like to eat and I've polished off a massive porterhouse steak,fries,a salad, and a few glasses of water before. I wasn't feeling too hot for about 16 hours after that but I did it. I figure if such big things were on the line I could put it down. I CERTAINLY could do it after seeing that little waif of a woman do it.

dirtyrascal7 That's what she said	anyone think they could get through the road block from last episode? i couldn't believe they expected all the teams to do that. if it were me, i'd drink a ton of water with each bite so that i'd puke faster. oh, and i HIGHLY doubt 4 pounds of meat is actually a "traditional Argentine meal".
