I'm in complete agreement with you. Heck, I'd play the game, following others as long as I knew I was going the right way then bolt ahead at the end and win. May not be nice, but that final paycheck would make me feel pretty good. As I said, it's "reality" and you're in this game to win, not go...

Oh that's nasty. Followers until the very end, letting the other players leading them right to the end and simply winning because they had the physical ability to beat them. Then again it's "reality" and people take advantage of others just like in the workplace, only to take credit for...

I actually don't remember the team following another around the final city. To many seasons, to many shows. If you could refresh my memory it would be appreciated. With each episode teams are going for the same pit stop, but I have a little more respect for teams that do things on their own...

i understand your point. But as you mention, is does become a bit uninteresting as time goes on. I'm kind of torn between both styles of play. Maybe stay with the pack for the early legs, but seems like you need to break away from the groups and try to get ahead, rather than a race where...

I never cared for the truckers, so not to bothered by their elimination. At the same time, I'm annoyed by most every team being "followers". It's often inevitable to follow the group, but sometimes it's better to do your own thing. Find a local resident or good cabbie and get out of the pack...

As Jason said, the team that "catches the breaks usually wins". You can be the perfect team, but one slip, like the passport issue, a mechanical breakdown, missed flight, being U-turned or something else and you may never catch up to the pack again. This was one of the best seasons I recall. If...

Very similar to my thoughts. The Beekmans were not the underdog team, coming from behind that I might normally root for. They were wimps and whiners with lousy attitudes who got extremely lucky a few times, especially with the race ending in New York. I wish the Chippendales would have won...

I was kind of surprised by this also. But my guess is that the contestants who did this stunt this time were much more physically able to complete it, and also much more "weight appropriate" and able to fly across the canal compared to when this stunt was first used. Other than one fall in the...

My guess is something will work out, maybe similar to what happened last year. Don't recall the exact details, but didn't a team member lose their passport at a gas station, the info ended up on Facebook or something and the finder miraculously tracked them down? Or maybe they just get them...

It would be fun to see the Chippendale guys pull this off. They are truly some of the nicest, politest people these show has ever had. They're not annoying, lying to other players to try and win and none of the fighting between themselves that so many of the other teams always seem to have...

Ron, you are correct that some of us are happy to see that particular team lose this week. Can't really say why, but I just found them incredibly annoying, just rubbed me the wrong way. Also didn't seem like they had much motivation left, very relaxed and casual about the challenges, no true...

Quite possibly the most annoying team I've ever seen on this show, I sure hope they miss a flight or get a cab with a flat tire, just anything to get rid of them. So far seems like a very predictable show as teams fade away, particularly if anything physical comes up. My prediction at this...

Walter, thanks for correcting me with Abbie and Ryan being eligible for the double prize, just a bit of a mix up on my part between couples. As for the truckers, just like you mentioned with Abbie and Ryan, I can't put my finger on it, maybe they just remind me of somebody from my past, I...

John, it's obvious you like the truckers, just as obvious that I don't. I'm going to drop the subject now and refuse to get into an argument with you. We've both been members of this forum for many years, I'd like to stay and not get kicked off. We all have our favorites, our own opinions and...

Maybe just a regional thing and the way I was raised. But I find them rude, crude and typical "trailer trash". I know that's a terrible thing to say, but they really fit the profile. Even with this last episode, knowing a U-turn was coming up, I knew immediately they would use it. No strategy...

Doubtful the "long haired" guys will be able to pull this off, as you said Ron, they just seem to laid back and lack the motivation needed for a show like this. Gary and Will don't stand a chance, way to physical for Gary to handle. He probably had months to prepare for the race, but he's so out...

I was totally confused by the U-Turn with this episode. The hillbilly truckers naturally chose to U-Turn another team, while almost everybody else passed it by. But then they were U-Turned, which I thought couldn't happen once the team had passed that point. What happens? You get to the pit stop...

Thanks for the warning. Not sure if it will affect us on the west coast, but added extra time before "The Amazing Race" and after "The Good Wife" so hopefully they'll fall somewhere in the middle and I'll get complete episodes.

It was sad to see Amy leave. Should have been the hillbilly monster trucker team, I can't stand them, they just got very lucky with this leg of the race. Can't believe the twins pulled off a first place finish. They did a complete 180 from the first leg. Unmotivated, lazy, etc. to a gung-ho...

That was pretty shocking. I got an abacus as a gift when I was about 15 and even then knew what it was. Guess that education has changed a lot the past few decades. Major TWO stupid things to do, these people need to put away the nice guy attitude and remember to play the game. Maybe not...

The drama between and within teams is often the best part of the show. This sounds terrible, but watching the meltdowns between couples, partners, friends, etc. as the race progresses is often quite amusing. Maybe slick editing and a lot behind the scenes we don't see, but the network certainly...

I love this show, by far my favorite reality type show, miles ahead of any of the others. Dish Network reloaded last night so was finally able to add it to the schedule. Last season was pretty much between the two teams, but that's life, they were good and were able to keep things going until...
