The Amazing Race Season 13 - Discussion

[tinkwest]

Grrrr. So many other teams I would have rather seen get eliminated, but they brought it on themselves. Stupid mistake!

[pixiesmimi]

Yeah, I was praying that the girls would get delayed and the 30 minutes would pass before they got there.

I agree that these contestants this season really aren't paying much attention to detail and have really been pulling some dumb mistakes.

Ok, how cute was it that Phil's Dad was the New Zealand welcome matt person!

I think it was great that he had his dad there! It took me unto the last team to finally hear him say who he was though. I wasn't quite catching it before that, and everyone kept saying nice to meet you. I was wondering who they were meeting!

[jonsmom]

We were watching baseball. Anyone get eliminated?

[Ian]

I was kind of bummed at the outcome last night. I was hoping Aja and Ty would come up on the short end, because I just felt like they bickered way too much the entire episode.

Hey, how about Starr "breaking her arm"?? They didn't mention it again, so I assume it was drama from her and not actually a broken limb?

[thrillme]

I'm ready to get rid of Aja and Ty too. It's hard to tell from the way they edit the show who's the one instigating so much of it. (It "looks" like Aja and Ty is the laid back one but...who knows what's been clipped out). I grow really tired of "bickering".

Did anyone see Phil on Bonnie Hunt? He said he was hoping that he could send the teammates to his parents bed and breakfast but it didn't work out, so they had his Dad at the mat. It was also his Dad's b.day.

I was the same way and finally figured out when one of the teams said "Phil's Dad!" I had forgotten that Phil was from there. You sure can't tell from his accent.

The two blonds. They weren't too swift on the clues anyway. No great loss.

I don't know, her arm looked pretty bad. I did that one time and it was several days before I got to the doctor. Hurts like nothing you have felt before! I guess we will find out on the next show if she has a cast. I don't know how she could finish that task though if it was really broken. Surely they would have done like Survivor and call a medic in to see about her.

[c&d]

I've finally watched Sunday's show last night and I'm having a really hard time liking any of the teams this year. In the past I've always had a couple of favorites but this year I'm not really pulling for any of them.

I did however love Phil's dad.

Oh trust me ... I know broken bones.

I'm at 7 and counting, including a "Joe Theisman-esque" fracture of my right leg.

I'm a pro when it comes to fractures!

And here I thought that was a shark bite?

[tinkwest]

This season is bordering on boring for me. None of the teams really grab me. And do those dumb divorced girls even "get" the game?

[MNNHFLTX]

Boy, that was an anticlimactic ending last night, with Ty and Aja leaving. Actually the highlight for me was the post-race notice that Sarah and Terrance had been penalized 30 minutes for the start of the next leg. I still do not like them.

I agree with you 100%, Linda. I am only rooting against the retired football player and his shrew of a wife.

[jonsmom]

Last night I commented to my husband, "I just don't like any of these teams." He asked why I would bother to watch, but I like the show itself.

Sarah was driving me crazy when she kept telling the driver to speedup in Cambodian.

At least, that is what I think it was supposed to be.

What about the other nitwits that called their driver seno~r. I dont think they speak spanish.

[MNNHFLTX]

I agree with you 100%, Linda. I am only rooting against the retired football player and his shrew of a wife.

Oh yeah, I don't like them either.

My favorite team would still have to be Toni and Dallas. The frat brothers are okay too.

[Ian]

I'm having a tough time connecting with any of these teams, too. I kinda like Toni and Dallas and the frat boys, but other than that everyone is pretty irritating.

I agree with Dallas' assessment than Kelly & Christy think they're God's gift. They really irk me. I've already made my feelings on Terrance and Sarah well known and they only thing good I can say about Ty and Aja is that they're gone.

[pixiesmimi]

I think the producers must be running out of ideas because the tasks are just not as exciting as they have been in the past and really too easy for them. Except for the fact that most of the teams aren't very bright when it comes to figuring things out, this would have no challenge at all.

I'm glad Terrance and Sarah got penalized for speeding because they have broken a lot of rules in their competitions. He seems to think he is above it all.

The mother and son are the only ones I think I would pull for. I think they are doing a pretty good job and aren't trying to do the other teams in. He is so funny when he says, "where is Cambodia, where is...?" She said "why did I pay for geography lessons?" I got to thinking about it after several said "Where is Cambodia?" that this generation really doesn't know anything about Cambodia or Vietnam. That is a shame.

[TheDuckRocks]

This season's teams have been so boring for me that I forgot who had been sent home.
I agree that Dallas and Toni and the frat boys are the only ones I like.
As for geography, a few years ago they asked graduating college students across the country to show where on a globe they live and the majority could not do so. And it went downhill from there when asked the location of NYC, LA, DC, London, Paris and Japan, amoung others. Sad!
