The Amazing Race 6

[drewbear]

I'm watching The Amazing Race as I write this entry. Pretty much every new line is an editted addition, so keep checking back if you read this Tuesday night.

Jonathan: "Just tell me where to go, Victoria!"
Viewers at home: "HELL!"

I like the new Roadblock rule. In previous races there were too many instances where one person did all/most of the Roadblocks.

Why wouldn't at least one team member learn how to drive stick-shift? It's not like it's uncommon.

Does Jonathan have some sort of spastic disorder? He over-reacts to absolutely EVERYTHING, and he seems to lack even the smallest speck of introspection or self-realization. Is he mildly sociopathic?

Dear Lord. The only reason these girls are even on the same CONTINENT as the others is because of bunching.

VIKINGS! YAY!

Wow. Jonathan really has a knack for alienating people, doesn't he? He seems to be directing most/all of his vitriol at the women, though. I'm guessing that NOW would like to have a long weekend with him. :)

El Hornio (tm Miss Alli) isn't a drama KING, dear Rebecca. Pay some more attention to your gaydar, mmkay?

Ooooh... archery... me want bow & arrow...
And my mom would so TOTALLY kick ass at the axe-throwing. It's frightening how accurate that woman is with a bladed throwing weapon. When we've gone to Scarborough Faire before, she rules the axe-throwing and shuriken-throwing games. Of course, on the human-shaped targets, she mainly hits head & groin. Like I said, frightening.

"They actually played this in ancient times? 'Cause this is the most pointless thing I've ever seen." He's obviously never bowled, has he?

Gus (aka CIADad) seems to be getting more into the race, which is good to see considering how obviously Hera wants to do this.

I like the outfit the greeter is wearing. Her bodice-thing is really cute.

Is Jonathan wearing a red velour track-suit? Whatever the hell it is, it desperately needs to be burned. Preferably with Jonathan still wearing it.

OMG! The old couple took the wrong car! Will they go back? Will they keep going & hope to get their stuff back at the pitstop? Will Timmy ever get out of that well? Find out after this word from our sponsors!

Hee! I like that extremely slightly terrified expression Phil has when Lori grabs him at the pit-stop. She shouldn't have, but I still find that fleeting expression funny.

Aww! Don't cry, old couple! Them young'uns fucked up back at the Viking boat and gave you a nice buffer zone!

You remember that comment I made up above about the girls being unable to tell their asses from a hole in the ground? They still can't, and they deserved to lose. Frankly, they would've last week if it hadn't been for the bunching at the snow camp. And we would've still had Avi and Joe, who looked MUCH more interesting.

"Jonathan and Victoria melt down on next week's episode!" Dude! How can you TELL?! It looks like SOP for Jonnie-boy to me.

I really hope Jonathan pulls some shit with MJ, because something tells me she'd be the first one to put him in his place and because I would LOVE to see her do that. :)

Also ... mildly sociopathic? Optimist. ;P

Actually, on second though it's more like he never quite made it to that stage in infancy where the baby realizes that other people exist independently of itself. Jonnie-boy just doesn't seem to get that other people have thoughts and emotions.

...So yeah. More than just mildly sociopathic. I stand corrected.
