The Amazing Race (Fall 2010)

TAR fans, have you seen the promo video CBS released?

 

[MTM]

Love this show. Can't wait for its return.

IJAG, you going to set up another pool?

 

[Pancamo]

I can't see the video. I that the video where the women gets drilled in the face by the watermelon? Funny but brutal.

Yup, that'd be the clip.

We've got another beauty queen...at least the one this time around never made any remarks about maps on national television.

Since she was obviously well enough to talk afterward, I didn't feel as bad for laughing.

Also, her teammate's half-shrug after saying "You have to finish!" was awesome.

 

[ADodgen]

That is hilarious. I am so ready for this show to start.

 

[Wenders]

There are a lot of really stupid people on this season, especially Vicki, the tattooed girl. Her elevator just does not go all the way up.

Was impressed with the doctors. Am curious if her diabetes will ever affect her race-running ability.

 

[Dyno]

Never heard of Stonehenge...I'm at a loss. And if you're on going on this show, for the love of God, learn to drive a stick.

 

[Wenders]

I can understand why this might be more difficult since it was backwards. But still, couldn't they have at least pushed her car off the highway until she figured things out?

 

[Oz]

Picked two teams the moment they introduced the teams at the beginning -- Team Glee and the friends who got eliminated tonight. Something tells me I won't be rooting for a team that's in contention from start to finish, like the cowboys last season.

Having the teams drive stick shifts in England is certainly an interesting financial choice by CBS. Not only is adjusting to driving on the opposite side hard enough, you have to deal with a manual transmission, too. I'm surprised only one team screwed up its clutch. CBS was running a decent-sized risk of crashes and costly mechanical issues.

Hell, I had a hard enough time with the one stick shift my wife and I owned 20 years ago. I was thrilled when we finally junked that car.

 

[JackReacher]

I have a hard time understanding those who don't know how to drive a stick shift.

 

[txsportsscribe]

didn't take long to discover the biggest **** of this season - hello chad. katie and rachel get the couples nod for being dicks.

No one in my family has driven a stick shift in the time I've been alive. The only friend who did who lived within 50 miles of me didn't want to teach me on his truck.

What's so confusing?

 

[JackReacher]

Let me rephrase, if you will....

I have a hard time understanding how anyone my age (or their parents for that matter) have never driven a stick shift. Then again, maybe I'm overestimating how many cars were stick shift during the 80s. Perhaps because I grew up surrounded by people whose cars were manual. My parents always had manual transmission cars. My first car was a stick shift. All my friends and relatives drove stick shifts when I was growing up.

I'm sure that tints my view on the subject.

Yeah, during his little speech on how he's going to be smarter than everyone because *HE* went to Notre Dame (um, dude, we have a Stanford undergrad who has a Master's degree...or we did...and two guys from Princeton. But congrats on that sense of superiority) I was secretly wishing that his beauty school girlfriend had smacked him on the back of the head and told him to STFU.

I'm 42 and don't know how to drive stick and neither does my mom. Only one of my friends has a car with a manual transmission and as far as I know, she's the only one I know who knows how to drive stick. I'd be willing to learn, but don't know anyone who has a car I can learn on.

You can be damn sure, though, that if I were going on TAR, I'd learn. ;D

I'm also pretty good with a map, but I'd be brushing up on my map skills, too. The guys who lost didn't seem to have any sense of urgency and didn't seem so hot with the mapreading either.

 

[JayFarrar]

Are Nat and Kat very "special" friends, the TAR editing team seems out to make the viewing public think that.

Good start. The melon in the face was so hysterical, even though I had already seen it courtesy of the Soup, I laughed and laughed and then put the DVR in reverse to watch it again.

The best part was her partner screaming to put it in the "kisser" and then have the melon backfire and nail her in the face.

Great, great teevee, but no team has emerged as the early favorite, even though the volleyball girls seem a little bitchy.

There are a lot of really stupid people on this season, especially Vicki, the tattooed girl. Her elevator just does not go all the way up.

And the fact that Phil baited her with the question at the end tells me she was well-established as a dope with the producers. He doesn't ask people if they know what country they are in. I can see them going, "Hey Phil, ask her if she even knows she's in England! That'll be hilarious!"

Lots of eye candy this season. I am hoping for many tasks involving bikinis.

Me thinks there are trying very hard for that all-female team champion.
Or maybe they're going Survivor on us.
