The Amazing Race- Returns November 4th

[Carol]

Who's your Daddy??

Ari reminded me of a mean version of Ross the Intern. Love Ross. Ari - - - - not so much. Glad that team came in last.

I may have to put shades on to watch Kynt and Vyxsin!

Really? They don't bother me. I figure to each their own. I am interested in seeing how well the make-up holds up by the end of those grueling legs. KT's hair is what bugged me.

Really? They don't bother me. I figure to each their own. I am interested in seeing how well the make-up holds up by the end of those grueling legs.

I was thinking the same thing. It will be interesting to see them in about 6 more weeks. My neice from LA was big time into goth and it would take her HOURS to get her makeup and hair just right.

Was so happy to see Karma take its first bite. Was not impressed with that team or the other dating team that had issues with their donkey. There are a couple of teams that I liked, but no real favorite yet.

Ari reminded me of a mean version of Ross the Intern.

Dave thought the exact same thing, Carol.

I was really glad that Azaria and Hedekea came in first, I like them a lot. I also like the father/daughter team, the grandson/grandfather team and the goth team. I thought TK and Rachel were okay too--they seemed to be having a lot of fun (but yeah, TK's hair is something else!)

Not a fan at all of Nathan and Jennifer. Besides the fact that they were already sniping at each other during this first leg, the way they acted with their donkey was terrible. I am a big softie about animals and I hope they are the next team to go home. Also not impressed with the blonde friends. The minute I heard them say that they were going to flirt and use their bodies to get ahead in the race, it was a total turnoff. And Lorena and Jason--well, I like Jason just fine, but I don't know how he will be able to stand Lorena's whining and "intensity" for the rest of the competition.

I was going to say the same thing about the Goth couple and their makeup. She is already taking on a new look after the "bike ride" across the channel. Don't think their look will hold up long with no long stopovers for repairs.

I have not decided yet on a favorite but was not sad to see that particular couple eliminated. I didn't mind the girl but sure didn't like him. I couldn't believe the other dating couple when he told her she was one of the worst he had ever known as they were hiking up and then turned around later and said he loved her. I would have smacked him.

Boy, the episode seemed to have gone fast. It didn't seem like it had as many challenges in it as in the past.

[tinkwest]

The minute that couple stole the cab and then later acted all innocent, as if they didn't have any idea that someone else had called for it, I knew I would not be pulling for them. So I was thrilled to see them get a stubborn donkey that they didn't know how to control.

Didn't either the team that was eliminated or the bickering couple with the love/hate relationship notice the gentle voices used by all the other contestants as they walked by? Guess not!

And the two blond girls better be gone soon - they make me gag.

[brownie]

I can't believe all the bickering on some of the teams already, and it was only the first leg of the race! I hope that gets better (or they get eliminated!)

[BriarRose0708]

I have a feeling Nathan and Jennifer are going to be this season's John and Victoria.

Good episode, I have a couple favorites so far but we'll see how long they last. I'm more of a "I hope such and such team doesn't win" person with this competition show. I missed the preview for next week, where are they going?

[TheDuckRocks]

I have a feeling Nathan and Jennifer are going to be this season's John and Victoria.

That was what I kept thinking the whole time I was watching last night. Didn't J & V have some kind of problem with an animal that wouldn't cooperate with them also? Boy, I sure do hope they go home next week, I really don't want to keep watching their bad behavior week after week.
Couldn't have been happier than who went this week. Donkey karma, just what they asked for and deserved!
So far here's the teams I liked:
Azaria & Hendekea
"Who's Your Daddy?"
The goth couple (not even going to try the names)
Wait and see list:
Lauren & Jason
Gramps & the kid
Marianna & Julia
Kate & Pat
Rachel & TK (need to pay attention next week, he maybe kind of cute if it weren't for the hair)
Hit list (ala Tony Soprano):
Jennifer & Nathan
The blondes
Please let one of these 2 go next week.

I didn't watch much of last night's episode because of the Eagles game, so I didn't really have time to form an opinion yet.

I thought the one couple that had the problem with their donkey was really annoying. That's about all I came away with.

[bleukarma]

Don't forget-since it's Sunday nights, during the NFL season the show may start late, and thus end late, so set your TIVOs, DVRs or VCRs accordingly.

I completly forgot to do this so I missed half the episode. I missed the entire donkey thing. But it sounds like that I will be happy with the outcome, the team that everyone was talking about was just evil. Karma will always get you eventually! I'm glad it happened sooner rather then later with this team.

It's still too early for me to form an opinion of who I hope will win. I kind of like the diversity this season though!

[KarenP]

I too was glad that couple that got eliminated. I didn't like them from the minute they stole the cab.

I like the grandpa/grandson team but from the looks of it I don't think they are going to make it too far.

[2Epcot]

Me too! I was rooting for them to be the first team eliminated from the moment they lied to that Irish cab driver. Donkey karma did them in!!!

So early, but just based on that first episode I liked the brother/sister team that came in first, the goth couple, the Asian father/daughter team and the grandson/grandfather. Not digging the blond shopper women or the boyfriend/girlfriend team that also had donkey issues.

I also like most of the same teams, and was very happy to see the first team that was eliminated.

[AvonleaCF]

I was out last Sunday so I set my DVR to record, and of course I missed half of it because it didn't start until 8:30pm! Grrr! At least now I know for next time. I read the re-cap on cbs.com though so at least I'm caught up for next time.

[c&d]

Finally got to watch it last night. I was very happy that they got eliminated. As soon as they pulled the cab stunt, DH looked at me and said Ramber.

I loved the father singing Danny Boy as he pedaled along. I almost fell out of my chair laughing. I hope they stay in for a while.

I also like the "Goth" couple. I think they have a great sense of humor. I loved the "Oh my Goth" comment when they were leaving.

[NJDad]

I believe Fox and CBS alternate who gets a big Sunday 4PM (ET) football game, so this week's show should probably start on time in more areas of the country.

But watch out next week, and just in case, every week, until football season is over. Set those DVRs, TIVOs, VCRs accordingly. This is your second warning!

[ChipnDaleGal]

Okay, my opinion of the grandson/grandpa team has gone down a little and I didn't like the dad yelling at his daughter so much this week. My two favorite teams are still the brother/sister and the Goth team. The ladies that finished last this week seem very sweet, but it was unlikely they would get very far with so many physical challenges each leg. I wasn't surprised they came in last, but I sure wish it had been the blondes.

[Carol]

That Dad needs to be muzzled. I cannot stand listening to him during the show. I cannot image what he is like to live with.

[MNNHFLTX]

I agree that the father came across very negatively this week. He was like the Everready bunny with his lecturing. And I thought his daughter was incredibly patient with him. I sure hope he took her words to heart about changing his approach on things because I like Christina and don't want them to get knocked out of the competition because he is wasting so much time talking.

The brother/sister team are still tops on my list, as are Kynt And Vyxin. And Lorena was a lot less whiny this week, so she and Jason moved up a bit in my book. I even like the blondes a little better because they seem to be throwing themselves into the challenges without complaining. But what was up with TK and the knot-tying? I never would have figured him to be so clueless. I have to hand it to Rachel, though, she didn't blow up at him or anything, just took it in stride. Still can't stand Nathan and Jennifer. They genuinely seem to dislike each other at times.

I wasn't surprised that Pat and Kate came in last either, although they were one of the nicer teams.

[Ian]

Holy cow ... what happened to the Dad this week? Last week he was Mr. Danny Boy, having fun, lovin' life guy. Now, all of a sudden, he's turned into this insane, nagging, maniac??

I couldn't stand listening to him last night. The best was when they got to the Detour. He complains that the lift it challenge is too complicated and then whines about how tough the bike challenge was?? The daughter needs to smack him in the eye and tell him to shut it.

I don't really have any faves yet. I still kinda like the Gramps/Grandson team (and what was with the Dad yelling at the Grandson, by the way???) and the goths seem okay. The rest are still kind of a mish-mash at this point.

I agree. The dad went psycho! He drove me out of my mind. He never shut his mouth!

I still like the Grandpa/grandson too. But I don't have a real fave team so far. They are all just okay. I kinda hope I start to really like someone soon. It is a lot more fun watching when you have a team to cheer for.
