The Amazing Race Season Finale

The Amazing Race Season Finale Roadblock challenge

It’s the twelfth and final leg, and it sends teams to Las Vegas. And oh, surprise! Brendon and Rachel live in Las Vegas. Of course they do, because it’s the tackiest place on earth. The Howells leave first at 4:31 a.m., followed by My Family Is Famous a few minutes later. When Brendon and Rachel rip open their envelope, the squeeling can be heard all the way across the pond.

t07grab03_11

On this week’s episode of The Amazing Race Brendon and Rachel depart first at 6:13 a.m. and are headed to Switzerland. As they jog away from the pit stop, they try to justify U-Turning the Howells, which, according to everyone else, is unjustifiable. “Who would U-Turn Dave and Conner? They’re cancer survivors, they’re the sweetest people in the whole world, I mean while we’re in Italy they were canonized for crying out loud.” Continue reading

On this week’s The Amazing Race, Brendon and Rachel are the first to leave at 7:30 a.m. and drive to a remote Italian village. The next teams, My Family Is Famous and the Howells, leave about an hour later and work together to get to the destination. The Cowboys depart a few minutes later and remind us that they must use their Express Pass during this leg. Last to hit the road are the Globetrotters and the Cousins. It looks like we’ve got ourselves a race! Continue reading

The seventh leg of The Amazing Race begins in Sri Lanka with the Cousins departing at 2:41 p.m. for the “eternal city,” which they must figure out is Rome, Italy. The Cowboys depart one minute later and already know where they are going. Everyone else is within an hour, and Rachel wipes out running to the travel agency that is sort of delightful to watch.

The Amazing Race All-Stars, Episode 2

Recap: The Amazing Race All-Stars, Episode 2

So did everyone forgo watching that little awards ceremony to follow The Amazing Race through one town in China? Yeah, me too. The least they could’ve done was, oh, I don’t know, go somewhere! Or do something! It was a geographically boring episode, but there were a few interesting tactical maneuvers. Instead of following our intrepid travelers from one task to another, let’s take a break and focus on what happens when you really mess things up. Continue reading

The Amazing Race Season Finale

the amazing race season finale

OMG, it’s the final episode of  The Amazing Race and I almost care who wins! After a season filled with lying, yelling, crying, and a little bit of running, one of the teams is going to be a million dollars richer. And I’ll be mildly annoyed if it’s not the Doctors, even though they barely have a snowball’s chance in hell (don’t they just seem perpetually jetlagged?). Continue reading

The Amazing Race, Episode 10: Cobra in My Teeth

The Amazing Race episode 10

I leave for two weeks and we’re down to only four teams on The Amazing Race, none of which are the Golddiggers? Well okay, then. The teams start out the tenth leg in Indonesia. The Cousins depart first, followed closely behind by I Hate You Too. Both members of the teams must devour grilled cobra before receiving their next clue. Continue reading
