The Amazing Race

Yeah, yeah, I know. A PE teacher encouraging couch potato like activities. This time it's the Amazing Race, 11 sets of partners in a race around the world. I've always liked this one because you get to see parts of the world you normally wouldn't see (the non-touristy parts). The racers use local customs as competitions; things like alligator wrestling, or mosaic building. Ultimately, it's the contestants who make the show interesting, so the quality ("watchability"?) of the show depends on whether or not you like any of the contestants. Worth a look, though. 8 pm Sundays on CBS

The funny thing about those two is that they entered the race so they could "get to know each other better". I wonder how the daughter feels now...

I think she feels annoyed

The dad was wasting time having a huge long talk about something and that was funny to me.

Mr. tong whos your favorite team?
My favorie team is the brother and sister team.

Mr T said...

I like the brother & sister team, too, but I also think they're kind of big-headed. I kind of like the "hippie" team because they're better than I expected them to be.
What did you think of the two people who started freaking out when they couldn't milk the camel? They should have learned from the donkeys that animals get nervous when the people handling them are nervous or angry...

Emily said...

I didn't like them that much they are all right, but didn't they just get axed last night. She was too amotional when she was milking the camel.

That's not the team I meant. I was thinking about the guy with the dreadlocks that wears a bandana on his head.
