The Amazing Race

Behind the cut, behind the cut, go behind the cut ...

Sigh, I knew it. I accidentally read spoilers that said that in the 5th or 6th leg R/A weren't seen anywhere and I hoped that it would have been a case like when they did those books in their first leg when they were soooooooo ahead of the pack, but alas, no. And all of the previews made it pretty clear that yeah, it was the end of the road. It was partially bad luck (not finding it) and the way the leg was spread out with very little bunching, but they DID screw up the first task by not checking the spelling of the places, had they done that right away, they would have been in 3rd place after that first task.

Ah well. They were wonderful to the end though, and had such a great attitude. I loved them. I just hate that frickin' Charla and Mirna beat them. I'm rooting for Danny/Oswald and Terri/Ian now, but my love and enthusiasm for this season is gone with Rob and Amber. Sigh.

I'm with you. Romber was the team I was rooting for to win the whole thing. I cannot believe Charla and Mirna beat them. Did hell just freeze over? Loved their interview in the end though, no bitterness or anything. It's great to see these two being in love, aww. I'm going to miss them terribly. Watching TAR wouldn't be as much fun anymore.

Rooting for the BQs and Danny/Oswald now.

Same here. I'm totally bummed, and can't imagine having much enthusiasm for the rest of the season. Major downer.

Sigh. I didn't see spoilers, but the previews from last week plus the editing at the beginning of this leg gave me a strong suspicion that they were going to be gone.

The whole episode was just stressful and frustrating.

I don't think my enthusiasm is gone, but it's definitely on life support. If Charla and Mirna get eliminated soon, that will help. I'm also rooting for Danny/Oswald, and I'm kind of liking Dustin and Kandice this time around. I think it would be cool for an all-female team to finally win.

I've always been on the Danny/Oswald train so I'm not upset at all. They were completely dominating the race though and it's surprising that they crashed and burned so bad. I still have several teams I like a lot though so . . . . .

Perhaps it's because I don't watch Survivor or just recently watched TAR 7 but I guess I just don't get the Rob and Amber love. They were great racers though.

Yeah, I'd heard rumors, but got definitively spoiled this weekend. :/ Their exit was classy and awesome, though. :) Other teams could learn a lot from them, and how they treat the game.

(Are you in any way cheered up by the fact that Autumn Reeser was cast in one of the more promising CW Pilots? :)
