Meteornotes Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I say if Rob & Amber were lowered slowly into an active volcano, the show would get the highest ratings in TV history. They are beyond annoying. I'm "meh" about this whole concept. I don't care about any of the teams, there's too many from last season, and in general I think the picks are poor. I think a much more interesting idea might have been to get all the past winners together and have them race for a five million dollar prize or something. Oh well, it's still better than the Family Edition... dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderLock Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Dustin & Kandice - 'Beauty Queens' DIE!!! DIEEEEE!!! YOU RICH SNOBS! DIE! IN! A! HOLE! Rob and Amber 1st? I'm okay with that. They should've brought the hippies back. Wait. They won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divv3k Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I'm with Elissa on LOVING that Romber came first! Eric & Danielle seemed pretty insignificant to me, I still don't really know what they're doing there other than the fact that the poducers thought it'd be fun to have a mix team. Somehow I get a sad feeling they'll win this. Really gutted to see teams like David& Mary and Uchenna & Joyce over BJ & Tyler. I assumed they'd be automatic picks for this edition. As well as Romber I'm glad to see Dustin & Kandice, Teri & Ian and for comedy value Drew & Kevin. I get the feeling Kevin & Drew won't get anywhere near fourth place this time though.

Sue Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 I definitely think that they could've done a better job with choosing the teams. At the very least, I think they should've had one team from each race. As it stands, I think there's 2 or 3 Race's that don't have any teams on the All-Star Race.

MrsPhishy Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 ^ I'm still quite stunned that the hippies weren't asked to join. Yeah, they won the million, but so did Uchenna and Joyce so they can't use that as a reason for excluding them. They'd be so much more interesting that half the other teams. I personally hate Dave and Mary. If they haven't learned yet that just because a flight leaves earlier doesn't necessarily mean it arrives earlier, then they don't deserve to be called All Stars. That so called cute naive persona just doesn't do it for me. I loved Rob and Amber on Survivor, I loved them the first time they were on the race, and I love them now. OH, and Phil. I love Phil.

SharkTums Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 If my memory serves...I do believe that there was some major drama between the Hippies and CBS. Almost to the point of lawsuits and craziness. If that was all true, then it's obvious why they weren't asked to join. As for the seasons being misrepresented, I totally agree, but it seems this is what CBS always does with its allstar shows. Big Brother and Survivor always had more people from the more recent seasons. And yeah... Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 ^Dude, of course you would like the family edition. Let's see, you post that you don't like the teams that play 'the game' even though...um, it's a freakin game! And you're a kid...so obviously you can relate more to the super stupified family edition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnewton34 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 the amazing race is one of my all-time favorite shows. i was so excited to see charla and mirna back. i still crack up whenever i think about her grabbing that electric fence during her season. i was sad that Adam and Rebecca didn't get to come back. i know they're no longer together and Rebecca is on Bravo's Workout but still they were funny to watch. and whether or not you like or hate rob and amber, you have to admit that they make the competition a whole lot more interesting. the family edition was just okay, the pace was just way too slow and the challenges were made way easier to accommodate the younger contestants. plus it was too hard to keep up with so many people on each team.

CommanderLock Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 The hippies also were VERY good. Maybe CBS didn't want to bring the winners that won easily. But the whole lawsuit thing works too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebtkid Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I like Uchenna & Joyce but they won already. Charla & Mirna are okay. David & Mary are the ones I want to win. On the last season, Dustin & Kandice were at the ticket desk and were buying a plane ticket. The guy said ,"okay, this one connects in London." And well what do you know. They respond, "What country is London in?" "England." "India?." " No England." I found that so funny for some reason. Why would you not know where London is if you are on a race around the world on national tv? I knew where London was when I was four. But, my dad is like a world traveler.

texasgiantrules Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 ^^^same here I'm really glad that Rob and Amber got 1st again and I'm really hapy the bald guys got out...i'd like to see rob and amber get in a fight with david and mary...even though those are my two favorite teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 I really hate Rob and Amber. It makes for a very boring race when the same team keeps coming in first every week. The end of this last leg was pretty up in the air as to who would be last. I'm glad Drew and Kevin are out since they just needed to be put out of their misery. They've really gone downhill since they last raced. My favorite, Charla, better step up her game or she won't be there much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvcoasterguy Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 ^ Drew wouldn't even stand on the mat at the end! They had to go. Charla seems like she's going crazy... their strategy seems to work okay, though. I feel bad for the taxi driver who probably thought they were crazy. Rob and Amber need to go... I'd love it! Danny and Oswald have my support... they're hilarious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 How was it a 'boring race', because Rob and Amber came in first?!! They went from Last to First after the Airplane delay! That seems pretty cool to me! Again though...so far this 'all star' season seems pretty easy though! Easy tasks, short legs, not impressed too much at this point.

Sue Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 I wasn't specifically referencing the last leg when saying it gets boring to always have Rob and Amber in first. Sure, they definitely know how to play the game to come in first no matter what obstacles they encounter, but it would be nice to see other teams in first. It's more interesting to have teams even matched than to have one runaway team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I'm in agreement with Elissa that so far the challenges have been very lame. Putting bolts on a tire?!? Wow, way to strain your teams to the breaking point, show producers. You would think an all-star version of the show would have much harder challenges, since all of the teams have participated before and know what to expect. I honestly don't like any of these teams, so at this point I really don't care how wins. The guys that were eliminated last night would probably have died if they had continued on the race (that one guy seemed more injury prone than me!), so it's probably a good thing they got sent home. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvcoasterguy Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 ^^^ Remember that Danny & Oswald also recovered from that airplane delay... they were second-to-last and came in at the mat in second. So Rob and Amber's climb to the top isn't that spectacular when you consider that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnewton34 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 i definitely agree that they need some harder tasks. that word scramble road block did actually make them think more than most other challenges i've seen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the sound Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I Can't find any videos on Youtube yet . But i checked the website and went through the re-cap and everything. The task sounded pretty dull, just searching through a building. They were in South America! Do something Interesting. Searching through a building for letters is the sort of task i would expect them to do in Topeka, or Nebraska, or even here in Melbourne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haiderodes Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I like Danny and Oswald. I wanted them in the top 3 the first time, so hopefully they can pull it together for this time around. After watching some of the pre-race interviews on CBS.com I think I like Joe and Bill this time around too...and I couldnt stand them the first time. And amazingly enough, they actually look better this time around too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I think I want the whiny blonde and her small companion to be next to be last. Those two are really starting to get to me, esp. when they keep pulling everything that everybody else is doing to each other. Then react when it's done to them as though they are pure as.... well, whatever. And the freaking out at the taxi driver was definitely not easy on the ears. Sorry the pitbull bros had to be axed. One of them was hurting really bad it looked like, anyway. Think he'd had enough of it all. Man, you think that some of them would start shaping up, knowing this was their second try AND chance at.. hmm? Like learning a stick shift on any car, for instance??? Hmmm. Next week. Might be a non-elimination I reckon.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
