Nrthwnd Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 ^ Yeah, and you have to hand it to her huz-b/f (?) for 'maintaining his cool,' while that oggeling (sp?) was going on..... ugh, indeed. We both thought they were great, and he deserved extra points for NOT suddenly turning on all of "them", yelling or... maybe something worse, lol. He just maintained his cool, but you could certainly see that 'stuff emoting' in his eyes, heh heh. A classy couple.
disneygurlz2s Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 Yeah!! I am sooo glad everybody's watching again, and, having read and article about AR in the paper, I have come to the conclusion that I am the only one, including CBS, Bertram Van Muster, etc... who actually liked the Family Addition. Oh well........ Now, on to the new series... there are so many teams similar to those who have come before.... you have your old folks (like Gretchen and Meredith) your buff African American couple (Uchena and Joyce) and your asshole male (Jonathan, Ray) with nice wife/girlfriend. However, it works for me! Very entertaining show the other night!! Loved the sisters, especially when the one asked the other if she had farted. Ahh..quality tv. That was the "WTF Mate?" moment of the day! No, my WTF moment was when Phil was introducing each team and he emphasized the two gay guys were "just friends". Did it matter to us??? My favs so far are the sisters, the dorks and the hippees. Shari
PhishyBrewer Posted March 4, 2006 Author Posted March 4, 2006 ^Shari's back!!! Were you've been girl?
coasterguy618 Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 ^^^^^That is exzactly what I mean. I am not racist.
pvcoasterguy Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Shari, That was my WTF? moment also. They are "lifetime friends..." er... yeah. No offense, but, the larger guy acted so blatantly gay that it was very, very easy to tell that they were not just "lifetime friends."
disneygurlz2s Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 ^^ I know!! I guess it was to clarify that two gay guys can be friends.... just friends! I just thought it was funny that they felt the need to establish that with us, especially since they bickered like any old married couple! Wally! Hey!!! I'll drop you a message and fill you in!! Shari
Nrthwnd Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 ^ Maybe when they filled out their application form(s) for the show, it "looked good on paper..." hmmm? Who knows? Me and David kinda looked at each other and went 'just friends'? And the touchy-feely stuff did starting coming into the picture slowly and (not too)surely.. fairly obvious by their (inevitable) finish. Whatever. They were totally un-organized for what they were thrown into, at the beginning, and they just had the bad luck of traffic jams a few turns of the way, to make it worse, lol. Hey - the gai couples have had their 'onscreen triumphs & tragedies' here before, heh heh.
Nrthwnd Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 Yay - BJ & Tyler win a Trip to...... TAHITI !!! TOGETHER !!! ...uh...wait a sec... That was a great ending to an 'ok' kind of episode... Altho, I DO realize that rapelling down a (gulp) 400 FOOT building would not be my idea of accepting a Roadblock. (shudders at thought) The waterfalls and the sugarcane-methanol things were done pretty good, from all of them. They all did pretty good - BUT - those two non-working T&A Lovin'buddies..... euuuuw. Eric and whats-his-brain(not)? Please, Oh Amazing Race Gods, let these oingo-BOYngos... go!
PhishyBrewer Posted March 8, 2006 Author Posted March 8, 2006 I really hope the wife recorded it last night. I was out cold from 10am to 9pm.
disneygurlz2s Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 You missed some entertaining HIPPEE moments, Wally. I really like them, the dorky couple and the old folks. Shari
Nrthwnd Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 Um, you mean the Geek Couple, right? Not a (heavens forbid) Dorky Couple, heh heh. I like them, too. The majority of the couples are actually all pretty good... and tolerable, so far. But - Lake should be 'put down' while he's still young, LOLOL. I fear for his 'personal international safety' the way he suddenly yells out, usually at whats-her-name-his-wifey, but sometimes just when nobody expects it, including the cameraguy, lol. Ah well, two down - nine to go go go!
Nrthwnd Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 BUMPed for "further discussion" ..... I'm off to watch it (10pm) now. "9 teams remain - who will eliminated next?"
Damien666 Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 OMG, best moment so far is the Hippies Scare-the crap-out-of-the-slackers! That was sooooooo funny!
Nrthwnd Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 That was great! Loved it. Some actual 'fun' moments, w/o everybody scraping each other's backsides, yet. But - To be continued...? Boooooooo. then Hope they don't pull that too often on this run.
Rugged One Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 Yeah, the Hippies pretty much owned that leg. Ray and Yolanda really need to tighten their game up or they are going to be next. They only pulled this one out because of those constantly lagging Double Ds. Although in all fairness, they did get screwed by that Yield. I think that the last two episodes have been pretty good. For me the locations and challenges are what really can set an episode apart and Germany and Italy have both been really exciting, with some unique Detours and Roadblocks.
Slacking Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Looks like TAR is moving to Wednesday nights at 8pm EST starting this coming week. http://www.thefutoncritic.com/cgi/pr.cgi?id=20060330cbs01
Nrthwnd Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Hmmm. Our television listings guide still has TAR listed on Tuesday/Apr.04 - 10-11pm PST... Must keep a close eye on the tv I guess, when next week starts up. Thanks for the heads up on that ^. GO HIPPIES, GO!
pvcoasterguy Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 It has indeed changed times... remember to watch tonight at: CBS, 8:00 EST/7:00 (Central) This is a good move- now it won't have to compete with Law and Order: SVU on NBC.
Nrthwnd Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 ~ ~ ~ ~ Well we lost the nerds last night. Too bad. I liked them. They were a sweet couple who were really rooting for each other and not trying to OD verbally and VOLUME-wise, heh heh. I'll miss'em. Lake also needs a good shot of valium (or something appropos) to calm --- down. At least he's not (so far) like that jerk in the earlier AR who constantly screamed at his wife, remember? Brrrrrrrrr. Hopefully Lake and Michelle won't end up like "that couple".... I hope. Hmmm. Wonder when this little one-two finish with the Frats and the Hippies is going to end and get....uuuuuugly? Hmmm......
disneygurlz2s Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 I am so happy that they moved to the Wednesday, earlier, time. My seven year old was missing it every week, and we love this show! I was sad to see the geeks leave.... Are MoJo just too stupid for words??? As always, I am rooting for the old folks. But my pick to win is BJ and Tyler. Shari "did you see Phil dancing to the Italian band?" Shoufler
Nrthwnd Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Yeah! ^ That was a neat little (OMG) slipped in there and shown just enough to notice.... Hmmm. So The Phil Guy gets Di Italian Groove on, hmm?
pvcoasterguy Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Yeah, I was a little dissapointed that the nerds are gone... although they just didn't have any energy during this last leg. They were going so slow... And on the last show, I couldn't believe that the lady nerd couldn't figure out that there were two extra pieces... even the frat boys and stupid girls did! Sigh...
Nrthwnd Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 And now the guys end up at the rear of the pack? Oi..... And they weren't even smokin'anything 'international' to go a wrong direction for an hour..... geez. Hope they can do something to pull back up from the bottom. Ah well - BYE BYE LAKE - Au revoir. Pip pip. Toodles.
