Amazing Race 6, 7 & 8

[I-Hate-Hulse]

I still can't believe Freddy and Kendra won. She of the "eww... they're poor and breeding". I'd like to know how close Jon and Kris were, and if the train really held them up from a win. Seems kind of odd, surely someone at Amazing race has a train schedule.....

Still, I'm glad Adam and Rebecca didn't win it all, I thought Hayden and Aaron deserved to be in the finale more. I'm not sure why Aaron didn't do the lock challenge as Hayden was obviously freaking out that day. Then again, if that had happened, we wouldn't have seen Hayden bending over all day in that tank top.....I'll miss that tank top....

Teams are now out for Amazing Race 7:

We're not models...

Quite a mix. Rob and "Amba" from Survivor (I hope they die). A gay couple. A US Army PoW. A mom and son. Enron/WorldCom employees. A bit of a shift from all of the pretty people of AR6.

I like this bio fact from "Megan": "Megan has never traveled outside the United States and has an extreme phobia of flying. Uhhh OK.... have fun winning this race by steamship......

And finally, CBS is having casting calls for AR8, which will have teams of 4 family members compete. I say we sign the Sutter boys up....

That lock road block was nasty. I think they said 3000 locks on that rail. If you did one lock every 4 seconds, that gives you 15 in a minute and 900 in an hour. It would take you three hours working at that pace to try every lock.. Now thats testing anyones menatl resolve.

agree. now eating 2 pieces of pizza....THAT I could do

I hated Kendra with a passion , and 2 days later I'm still livid that she won...but oh well. enjoy the rest of your life Freddie

I think you have to like Boston Rawb's chances in AR7...he and his partner have already proven that they can work well as a team, and travel well together. He's arrogant, but he's good. they might not be as 'hungry' as some other teams, but other than that....

Yeah, if I was a competitor of Boston Rob I might go kick him in the jewellery at the start of the race hoping that would hinder him right from the start. In a game of competitions this is a guy who rarely loses, and if you can't vote him out, how do you eliminate him?

[looooob]

looking at the teams for AR7, I'd vote Ray and Deanna as 'most likely to pull a Jonathon/Victoria'

[Sylvanfan]

I want to see Megan and Heidi go toe to toe with Lynn and Alex. Note to all potential parents...name your son Lynn and expect consequences. Either he'll get in a lot of fights because the other kids will bug him a lot, or.... Not that theres anything wrong with that.

Think so? Survivor is a very different game than Amazing Race, and I'm not sure the scheming and skulduggery that Rob is good at will really be of much use. I don't either are very "worldly" and would necessarily have an advantage that way.

Plus, Rob is a lazy SOB who would consider Cancun an exotic foreign destination. 20 years from now I can picture him on a couch, in a wifebeater with stains, telling everyone he can about "this time he went on a TV show and met this hot girl".....

I wouldn't describe Freddie and Kendra as worldly...nor Hayden and Aaron...nor Devil boy and Rebecca

that's three of the final four teams from last time. for that matter Kris and John and Lori and Bolo

so that's the 5 final teams. they're young, fit, strong and competitive

Rawb and Amber are all of those things, plus they have a proven track record at winning things, competing well together and solving 'contrived TV puzzles' all of which will help in Amazing race

I think--and obviously this depends on the strength of the other teams--they have as good a chance as any other team, if they are hungry enough (having already won a Million dollars)
