The Amazing Race: Season 28

Not so enthused about the cast all being social media personalities. I'm sure we'll hear the word "like" a million times per episode. Like, really?

Agreed, R1. There isn'e even anyone worth looking at this season.

Love TAR, but I agree I already dislike how they cast this season. I'll still be watching though.

I think this season will be the death knell for the series.

I have been with the show since I was about 15 and they've had their share of annoying personalities, but a whole season of "social media personalities"? I dunno, man... The magician guy from Vine is cute and I've known about him before this season, but the fact he's racing with his generically pretty wife kinda cools me toward him. My fear is that the contestants will all try to make every second they're on camera a soundbyte or gif-able moment, and be hyper aware of the camera like it's a Kardashian charity fundraiser special. I'll still watch because I love the concept of the show, but damn the producers are trying me this season. What's next, a season of Conservative Presidential candidates?

Was there any advertisements/promos for the new season? I haven't seen anything except posts on social media.

R6 meet the cast

Living for the epic meltdowns when it's discovered that the cab driver doesn't understand English.

"Kay???!? Kay?!?!! Who the hell is Kay???? My name is Tyler!!! I'm FAMOUS!!!!!"

The one chick should just tell people that she's Anna Kendrick. She looks exactly like her.

All the racers live in LA, that is weird.

Amazing Race to the Bottom

No one seems like a huge douche yet, and you need that huge douche for a good season.

I haven't watched this show in years. It has really lost its way.

The guy screaming "Who's fake playing??" seems quite douchey to me.

Orange shirt guy yelling "Whose fake playing ?" is the douche of all douches.

Any cute gays?

Zero male eye candy means lots of shirtless challenges. It always seems to work out that way.

I am not liking that most of these people are already performers. They seem all be overacting. I don't think this is going to be a very good season. Disappointed.

Tyler Oakley might be gay (hard to tell as he doesn't ping at all).

Is the guy with Tyler Oakley his boyfriend or just friend, they really didn't make that clear?

Tyler is gay.

"Rob Has a Podcast" does a recap of each episode, which is kind of interesting if you are really into The Amazing Race. It starts around 15 minutes after the end of the show, sometimes he is a little late, but it is fun to hear some of their insights into the show. At the link.

I taped it and am just starting to watch. I'm 5 minutes in and really dislike what I'm seeing. I've watched every season since Rob and Brennan won. TAR has always been about real people. This isn't about real people. They're attention whores. Awful. Phil is too good for crap like this.

Tyler is gay and is with his boyfriend.

Like the brothers and Tyler and Korey. Cole and the male dancer seem like closet cases.

R21, I'm pretty sure R19 was being facetious.

I know Tyler. He's gay for pay to attract tween girls to his videos.

We went to college in Michigan together, Back then he was a total pussyhound, big Bush supporter.

I am R21, and I am a lot like Shelton Cooper, I don't get sarcasm.

I am predicting Tyler and Kory for the win.

This is going to be the worst season since "Amazing Race: Family Edition", the sole highlight of which was the conservative Christian mother being trampled by a runaway Amish buggy carrying her horrified children. That is still my favorite moment from ANY season of The Amazing Race.

The show used to try and build the "story" of each pair. It made the show interesting. None of that now. Amazing Race has become so tech focused - witness the selfie cams a few seasons ago.

I feel the casting is poorer and poorer each season and really, the casting is key. People who are fans are, for the most part, longtime fans. I don't think they're interested in this casting stunt. Just my opinion.

Twenty-One You Tubers and a Gynecologist. That's a joke, not a season!

[quote]Cole and the male dancer seem like closet cases.

Zach does as well. Major gay voice.

Even though I LOVE Mexico City, I hate each and every one of these teams. The grease fire can't come fast enough. And after that the grease fire should hunt down all of their parents for raising them to try hard and camera whores

A plane carrying all of these "personalities" needs to crash into the side of a mountain.

R10 Where did you get that from?

"OH MY GAWD!!"

"Oh my gawd!!"

"ohmygod!"

"Oh mY GAWd!"

"oH mY gOd!"

"Ohhhhhhhhhhh Myyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Gooooooooooooooooddddddddddddddddddd!"

I was so looking forward to that old fool getting sent home, but OMG it was a non-elimination leg.

Drums? I don't hear any drums.

As with the dreadful "couples season", I think once the dead weight gone and the field is winnowed down to 7 or 7 decent teams, they'll get serious and it'll get better. I hope. I hate seeing my gold standard reality competition shows ruined by oblivious corporate meddling. So You Think You Can Dance has become a kiddie show this year. I mean........Wtf.

Who are the two in the OP?

"Are there little drums on the ground?" -_-

And we had the obligatory "We're going to use our feminine wiles to get ahead any way we can" from the seemingly inept all-woman team.

Is it some requirement of the producers that all moderately pretty girls each season have to say that they'll use their looks to get ahead? Honestly, I think someone says it in their introduction every season. Do they really feel like they need to try that hard to get straight guys/husbands to watch the show?

R39 They're from last season.

Some of the guys could be good to look at in a shirtless or Speedo challenge.

The blond guy with his mom is hot, but he's hot in that jackass, willfully ignorant, Alabama republican way. If you know what I mean about that type. Maybe someone can explain it better.

They should change the name of the show to "Babe, You Got This, Babe!"

In the preview, only one woman is shown as crying from frustration: Tyler

Zach, the magic Viner, is kinda cute...I guess.

Hopefully, there will be extremely brutal challenges this season to tap away at their "look at me" playacting for the camera - otherwise, this season is fucked.

They need an all DL season on TAR.

I think Team Toupee should have gone home.....but perhaps we will get glimpse of it as it flies in the air next week.

And I think Tyler or his partner called Phil a "bitch" on the mat.

They spent the first 15 minutes introducing everyone and trying convince us that the teams were "celebrities" with millions of fans on YouTube or Vine. Either that or 100 fans who have clicked 10,000 times or so.

I am not happy with this season - but maybe it will get better as it goes along. As I said right now the only thing I am looking forward to is Team Toupee losing his topper!

I still wish TAR would do a reunion show a la Survivor at the end of the season.

I tried to explain to my 70 year old mother why the Instagram models are "famous". She looked at me as if I told her snow is purple. Her eye roll was classic, and I agree with her!

I nominate r53 and his mom to be on the all-DL season of TAR, as suggested by r50!

I'm just finishing watching the first episode which I taped. I struggled to get through it. Just an awful cast.

Actually, a lot of very likeable teams this time. And they were smart to include folks from viral videos so not all "on" personalities all the time.

And sexy wet backsides already! Can't wait for blonde Cole to get there. Soo friggin' cute.

Lots of hot men shirtless jumping into the water. Brody is the hottest.

The black bros look nothing alike. Different daddies?

Both very attractive though. Hope not going home already. Someone has to, after last week.

A fish swam up her pussy? Now I've heard every thing!

Are we sure that Tyler and his partner are boyfriends? They don't act like it.

Cartagena, Colombia looks like a dump

Wasn't Cartagena the drug capital for the longest time?

Nothing like mud covered hot ass.

Brody's my pick for eye candy, but hes no Tanner

Tanner and his pits were a gift from God, granted. But that was some sexy wet butt on Brody. We didn't get to see near enough of Cole, damnit, I wanted the swimming portion.

Team Toupee is still in. The Mensa Geniuses almost got canned. I didn't mind losing the team that went home - but they did to themselves.

I still need to watch a few more times before I find someone to root for, although everyone is behaving okay - so far.

The sight of hungry, stray dogs hanging around really brings me down.

The sight of Phil's copious bulge moving from left to right of his zipper as he walks around really brings me up.

Women who still call their father "Daddy" aggravate me.

Racers who constantly urge their cab drivers to "please hurry, we are in a race" need to stop and should be told by the producer to stop harassing the driver.

I'm hoping the shrill, idiot teams will be farmed out soon and we can get down to the serious racers, because there is some fucking annoying dead weight right now. Those brothers are hopeless. And if that kid and his mom were revealed to be retarded, I wouldn't be surprised. Yeesh.

Are we sure Cole isn't gay? Sometimes when he speaks there's a little sugar in his bowl. I know he's uber Christian but a lot of closet cases hide behind God because they can't deal, especially in the South.

Tyler and Korey are cute but they don't seem like a couple.

Which one is Cole?

Yes Cole and the dancer guy who won't marry his girlfriend seem gay.

[quote]A fish swam up her pussy?

It was probably confused -- he thought it smelled like his mother.

Phil seemed to be showing off plenty of package in the last episode.

I am surprised how good Tyler and his boyfriend are. They beat the jock team at the party hut building challenge and are team no.1 at the second leg of the race.

Why on earth did the losing team ditch their slow cab in the town and walked their way to the beach? That did cost them the race.

But, so far, the teams seem nice to each other. One team even gave another team a swim suit (why were they not provided by the show for the challenge?)

I love Korey. He seems so nice. I wish there was a way to share him, like in a big community gangbang or something.

I haven't watched this show since they moved it from Sunday. That was my Sunday dinner/TV ritual. Damn you, CBS!! Damn you to hell!!!!

It's strange how subdued Korey gets when he's with Tyler. I watched some of their youtube videos and when he's alone, Korey is just as hyperkinetic as Tyler. Together, though, Tyler becomes the alpha gay and Korey just kind of fades quietly to the background. Interesting phenomenon...

Just watched, agreed that the son (Cole) seems light in his loafers. I should watch his youtube videos for a more relaxed or truthful view of him

Cole seems like a nice guy, but a little high-strung. Maybe ADD? Looking forward to seeing him mellow out in some challenges and getting to know him. His mom seems cool, and she's very young-looking.

35 minutes of Cole's Vine account

Link to Vine

Is Cole the youtube star who got viral with some controversial "Because I am not a faggot!" clip a couple of years ago?

Tyler said he and Kory have been friends for 8 years but never more than friends, so I guess that clears that up, they are not boyfriends.

If Tyler wins, will he use the money to join a gym? I've never seen anyone without any sign of muscle like him. And can a good dentist fix that speech impediment?

WOW that is the fastest I have ever seen team win a leg of the race, 28 minutes into the show and two teams finished the leg of the race.

Watching Cole's vines after seeing the childishness of the GOP debate last night makes me think the USA is fucked.

R86 no question

How old is Cole? He looks around 18, few 18-21 year old are very mature, I don't expect much from them. I expect even less from Republicans.

I wish they could swap out Tyler for "Damn Daniel"

It was really a douche move of the other teams to let the brother run all over looking for the vendor - they knew she was right there. Sorry to lose the brothers.....sometimes "Mensa" teams just aren't too smart.

I don't think the dad on Team Toupee was wearing his hair piece tonight....he just crammed that hat on good!

R86, you are so right. I just checked out his vines are they are mind numbing. Is that what teenagers watch and find entertaining? There is no future for the US. Now I'd like to eavesdrop on some kids just to hear the things they talk about. And Tyler isn't much better. I can't believe his Google profile labels him a "humorist" Here's the humor.

Tyler has the most obnoxious and un-genuine laugh. Korey is cute and seems cool.

Dana the Dancer.... what a nasty bitch. No wonder Matt won't marry her.

Tyler already looks like he's in his mid-40s.

>>No wonder Matt won't marry her.

r92, watching the show last night my 11 year old daughter said the same exact thing!

Not a fan of Tyler. He's insipid.

Tyler Oakley is on the NYT Bestseller List? A book? Frightening to think about.

Those brothers have to be one of the dumbest teams ever to appear on the Amazing Race.

Didn't the one brother who was standing next to the lady giving out the clues, even NOTICE that she was giving out the clues? He was standing there for hours. It blows my mind that someone could be that mind-numbingly stupid, so as not to notice that. They completely deserved to go home.

I'm surprised that Kurt isn't more popular here. I think he's really hot.

To be fair, the brother who stood watching the woman give out the clues was not allowed to help his brother. They would have received a penalty. I agree though that the brothers weren't very good players, nor did they ever seem to move beyond a fast walk.

As I said.....MENSA.... Anytime a team is shown bragging about how smart they are - it means they're going to do something really stupid and get eliminated.

Whenever people need to brag about how smart they are, the less it ends up being accurate. Exhibit A - James Woods, who never misses an opportunity to mention MENSA or to show what a moron he is.

Worse than that, the other brother seemed to register another team getting their clue but then seemed too cool to care. Wouldn't he be allowed to call his partner back? It just looked not only dumb but lazy. Which was sort of my impression of them all along. Nice looking but no need to try.

It seemed to me the brother sitting there didn't even notice. They never had a shot of him glancing over there, he was oblivious. If he had known, he could have indicated to his brother which way to look. The team member sitting out often tells their partner to watch how the other teams are doing it...

R101 R102, see R98. The partner not doing the task cannot help the other partner in any way, shape or form.

I thought I have heard the non-playing partners shouting encouragement...

MENSA is full of losers like the bros who brag about their intelligence at every opportunity, but can't seem to apply it to actual life.

Dana is this year's bitch hooked up with a too-nice guy. Don't they watch the show and know how they'll play?

[quote]I thought I have heard the non-playing partners shouting encouragement...

Of course they can shout encouragement, but they can't actually HELP with the task in any way.

Zach is kind of cute.

The jock bros won a trip to gay mecca Mykonos, Greece. If their taxi hadn't screwed them over Tyler and his friend would have won.

Selfies....

This, terryifyingly is a blurb from Tyler's "book":

For someone who made a career out of over-sharing on the Internet, Tyler has a shocking number of personal mishaps and shenanigans to reveal in his first book: experiencing a legitimate rage blackout in a Cheesecake Factory; negotiating a tense stand­off with a White House official; crashing a car in front of his entire high school, in an Arby’s uniform; projectile vomiting while bartering with a grandmother; and so much more. In Binge, Tyler delivers his best untold, hilariously side-splitting moments with the trademark flair that made him a star.

Oh my sides!!!!

Tyler probably dreamed half of those. He's not such a forceful personality in person, as Amazing Race shows.

I am usually very excited for a new episode, this season not so much. I can't find a team to like....and there are so many to DISlike!

OMG I am so embarrassed for Tyler and Kory, both college graduates. "what language do they speak in Switzerland?" "I don't know, Swiss?"

I wonder if the guys playing chess - or at least trying to play - on the bench were passersby or TAR plants.

Man, is this show on its way out big time? Hardly any buzz on DL, that's for sure. And DL knows of which it speaks.

"Blodie?"

Blarf.

I recently bought seasons 2 and 3. I already have season 1 on DVD. The casts were head and shoulders above the dreck that's aired the past couple years.

Tyler is a legend in his own mind.

The blonde Alabama guy with his mom is pretty cute. Nice body. Is he gay? Sure acts like it.

Yeah, it used to be really tough and impressive what people conquered. Now it all seems a bit cutesy.

"Nobody helped me." and "I can't run in these shoes"

Tyler is less appalling than I thought he would be and I love Korey. Korey is wonderful and smart.

Except for that laugh, R123.

This episode was the most annoying in ages. Plus the challenges were dull and the finish was dull.

hashtag Blodie. Ha ha ha ha ha!!! When's the wedding? Ha ha ha ha ha!!

Hashtag Blodie Ha ha ha ha ha !! When's the wedding? ha ha ha ha ha!!

hashtag Blodie ha ha ha ha ha!!! When's the wedding? Ha ha ha ha ha!!!

"What country is Switzerland in?"

Who was in the train who was screeching "Get down!! Everyone get down!!" WTF was that supposed to accomplish? Maybe they won't see the train? I guess it worked as the models managed to miss it. They couldn't have hustled even a little bit? What'd they do, stop to buy postcards?

Are these people really so famous that they draw crowds of screaming fans in airports, or is the production staff rounding up random people and saying "Hey, want to see someone who's famous for being on Youtube?"

Too much of the same kind of people this season. Meh. Even the hottest guy Brodie is just OK

[quote]Even the hottest guy Brodie is just OK

"Dad" is hotter than Brodie. Nothing hot about that Neanderthal beard, horse teeth, squinty eyes and crow's feet like the Grand Canyon, plus he screeches and hollers like a Texas heifer at a monster truck rally.

True but he's got a decent ass. I don't mind the middle aged bearish guy

[quote] Are these people really so famous that they draw crowds of screaming fans in airports

I was shocked at this too. I couldn't believe that there were people who actually knew these youtube personalities, much less treated them like actual celebrities.

The internet has really changed the definition of "celebrity."

As for the hotness of the guys, Kurt is my favorite. His partner Brodie is totally fug.

I'm happy they're in Europe. I just hate all those hot and sweaty countries. It's so gross.

Tyler is at least famous enough in the real world to be a 2nd guest on Jimmy Fallon (Gwynneth was the first guest).

I have no idea why but apparently he is a bonafide celebrity.

Celebrity has lost all meaning.

I'm really disappointed in this season.

Tyler's laugh is so annoying.....worse than a donkey braying....although the sound is close. It was so funny that NO ONE would help those idiot models - because they were in last place. As long as they were, everyone else knew they were still in the race.

I agree with the poster above - "celebrity" no longer means anything. Anyone who has fans on a platform is a celebrity to someone. And they are known for being well known, not known for doing anything OR having any talent. I was afraid this season would be pretty much insufferable because of it, but I kept hoping it wouldn't be as bad as it really is - AWFUL.

The one moment last night that was almost touching to me was the way the kid was waiting in line to turn in his flag postcards, and the way he looked at the judge like he was a little kid in line for candy......

The "kid", Cole, is adorable but not much airtime yet. Makes me think he is going to be around for a long time, maybe all the way to the end. He is so cute, even in that little pop up intro during the theme song.

R117, I watch it several days later on the computer.

[quote]Nothing hot about that Neanderthal beard, horse teeth, squinty eyes and crow's feet like the Grand Canyon, plus he screeches and hollers like a Texas heifer at a monster truck rally.

Don't forget his weird, flat Fred Flintstone feet. During that challenge on the beach I thought he was going to fall over he was having so much trouble maneuvering around barefoot on the sand.

He's a good match for that buzzsaw-voiced harridan constantly braying "Daddeeeee!" She's the one that was yelling idiotically at everyone to "Hide!" on the train. And DadEEEE! is no prize himself. Possibly the world's dimmest physician.

Can't wait to see Kurt! I'll bet that this is a non-elimination round.

Those tasks were scary as hell! Don't mind losing the team that went home - but still not a fan of the season. Now it's gone until April 1 - must be basketball tournaments or country music award shows until then.

I really do want to kick Tyler in the face.....I am going to try to stick with it - but this is such a dud season contestant wise, that it's hard watch.....each episodes seems two hours long.

Stunning scenery tonight.

R138 lost his bet.

So glad to see actually tough challenges in a great location.

[quote]Possibly the world's dimmest physician.

R137, obviously you haven't heard of Dr. Ben Carson

"I dated a Yeti once."

Tyler is annoying as hell but it's nice to see the gay team kicking ass.

I'm not sure how Tyler is a celebrity but I do believe he worked the red carpet at the Grammys.

...at the end of a vacuum cleaner.

This has got to be the best program on TV right now!

They have GOT to put it back on Sundays. How can they survive with weeks off between episodes? Ridiculous.

"Oh my god you guys! Blody! Did you hear what I said? I said something hilarious! I saiid Blody! Hashtag Blody. Isn't that funny! Did you hear what I said? I said something hilarious! I said Hashtag Blody! Aren't I hilarious? Isn't that wonderful? Hashtag Blody! Hashtag Blody is what I said!"

WTF R150?

It's a perfect recreation of Tyler's speech pattern......except for the horrendous, grating laugh.

The worse one is the girl who keeps screaming daddy in every episode. Wish they could be eliminated.

I think Doctor Daddy has already ditched the toupee.....his hat seems firmly planted around his ears.

Tyler has raised over $1,000,000 for gay youth suicide prevention programs, and has been a guest of the Obamas to talk about the use of internet to reach a young generation of voters.

one of the instagram models was rumored to have bearded with Jeremy Renner last summer. Did it catch?

Still hoping for Cody and Zach (from Big Brother) as a team in next season of AR.

Please-- no more stunt casting.

I appreciate anything Tyler has done for charities, but it doesn't make him any less annoying....just a bit less loathsome. And it's not as if he DONATED the money, he used his celebrity to pry it from people who think he is special.

I don't follow Tyler's social media so I don't care that he's some kind of youtube celebrity. But on Amazing race he and his partner are actually good players who don't lose their heads and make stupid mistakes. For that reason I do not find him annoying and I can't figure why anyone would find him loathsome. There's some self hating gays posting on here.

LOL......yes, I hate myself because I don't like Tyler. Thanks. I wondered what was wrong with me. I never said he wasn't a good player. I wouldn't even mind if he won.

#Blodie There I helped him make it happen.

R161, you forgot to cackle theatrically.

Please tell me that they didn't go to Belgium in this season. It would be another instance of the TAR Curse!

You're right R162

One more week of waiting.........

I annoyed with all the basketball interruptions. I want TAR back! But at least it looks like it's been renewed for another season.

At least one more season of Phil!

WHY don't they move it back to Sundays where it belongs? Especially now that "Good Wife" is gone. What's going to be the anchor that night? Nobody watches TV on Fridays, not even old people.

I'm shocked it got renewed. I feel this season is a turn off to longtime fans like myself. I'm happy though.

I like when there are no gimmicky teams, just ordinary people like it used to be. I don't want to see YouTube folks or other reality show stars or whatever, just plain nobodies.

Agree with everyone who's said they like teams of ordinary people, not stunt casting. I hope TAR is listening.

Ordinary people, except for Cody and Zach. Or Cody and Caleb. Or Zach and Caleb...

Or even Frankie and either of these three, at least we'd see a lot of cuddling

Why didn't Cole do that task instead of making his mom do it?????

I didn't mind the ending, but if the final two teams had been reversed, I would have been gagging that the other team got saved.

I wouldn't have minded if Tyler and teammate had been eliminated.

TAR needs to throw me a bone (literally!) and get Cole in some skimpy attire fast. I've lost interest in this season weeks ago.

I enjoyed the woman at the bakery where the teams were making the bread. She was very friendly with the teams and had a fun time interacting with them.

The people on the buses were fun, too.

I was thankful that, despite being in Armenia, no one uttered the word "Kardashian" once.

For some reason I was oddly turned on by Cole weaving that rug, and the hard close ups of his hands and hairy legs.

I thought in an early preview we saw Cole running around in shorts and muddy so maybe it is still coming. He has turned out to be as cute as I hoped when I saw that.

New episode tonight?

I'm sorry, I know they're rural yet moneyed southern Jesus freaks, yada yada........but that blond, buff Cole kid SCREAMS gay. So is my never-wrong gaydar off? I know it when I see it.

Where was the speed bump?

Team Toupee made a dumb mistake. The girl told her father "I have you backpack."

Loathsome Tyler's meltdown was ugly to see: "Someone took my backpack.....it was right here.....someone TOOK my backpack!"

The ending was most unsatisfying.....I wish THEY had gone home and we would be rid of it.

Cole has seemed gay from his introduction in episode one.

Has Cole done ANY of the Road Blocks? One team member cannot do them all. They will get down to the last few legs, and he will have no choice but to do them.... Why did he make his mother change the oil on the car?

[quote]Where was the speed bump?

There's no speed bump when it's a "to be continued" leg.

That "daddy!!!" girl was annoying, but it's sweet to see that they have a nice relationship.

I'm glad that Tyler and his partner stayed. I'd rather see them, than listen to DADDDDDYY!!!! throughout the entire show.

The Georgian dance looked really difficult.

It's weird that some of you get a gay vibe from Cole. I actually get a gay vibe from Brody and Kurt. It's interesting how when Brody said that he was going to see that girl after the race, Kurt turned to him and said, "really?" As if they were boyfriends, and Kurt was kind of jealous.

And not to stereotype, but do "bros" salsa dance? Because Kurt was really good at it! lol

I love that they have played down the social media star element. At this point, I can't even remember what most of the teams do on-line and that's not a bad thing. I thought it was going to be totally self-conscious everyone careful stuff since they all fancy themselves stars. But not the case.

Cole did the muddy Road Block up front. I think they are saving him for the heavy physical ones maybe. And hopefully some half-dressed ones like next week.

When they read the clue about going to Georgia, I was really hoping some team would end up in Atlanta.

I thought maybe I missed something. Thanks R185

To our TAR Canada viewers:

Jinder Atwal of Season 2 is competing in the Mr. World competition this July representing Canada. Interesting news.

The dance challenge is the hardest one I can ever remember seeing on the show.

I was really hoping Tyler and what's his name were given the boot. They're as annoying to me as the daughter screaming "Daddy!"

That guy who was sitting on the train and told his girlfriend, "sorry babe, but my feet are really starting to stink!" totally made me gag. That is disgusting.

It also made me wonder, how do these people do laundry on the race? Please don't tell me that they have to wash their clothes in the sink, or I will faint. Their underwear must be disgusting, if that's the case.

Do the racers get to send out their dirty clothes to a laundry service provided by the race? I really hope so.

I have a feeling socks and underwear are in those giant backpacks they are lugging around. Deodorant too.

R192, here's the The Amazing Race FAQ.

OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!

I HURT MY FINGER!!

OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

If you're a Cole Race fan, check out his videos (on YouTube, I think). He's in many wearing shorts and t's, which show off a nice body. His brothers do the same. He's not showing off, but simply dancing around being clownish, but somewhat funny.

NOOOO! Having seen several videos, do not follow R196's advice. Brain cells do not regrow.

Cole's videos are much better with Mute on. His body isn't bad though.

Cole is an utter moron, but the bod is nice.

Yeah Cole is dumb but hot. I'd love to see him naked. Or at least his naked ass.

Cole in nothing but skimpy shorts tonight. Thank you, Race! Sooooo damn cute. Perfect.

Waterpark challenges are our friend.

I'm as gay as a picnic basket and I cheer when gays are successful but it would please me greatly if Tyler and his partner suffer a spectacular failure. Hopefully irreparably humiliating. And painful.

They're real, and their spectacular.

The irksome and loathsome Tyler was front and center tonight in all his awfulness.....I'm with R202.....the sooner the better.

Cole seems to expect a LOT from his Mom, and she expects so little from him....."He's so cute......" I'm glad they are still around for another leg.....but they're gonna need some luck.

Oh and Dana needs some real bitch slapping. She kept saying "we" had a breakdown and "we" lost our temper. No...it was YOU all by yourself who made a bitch display for the world to see. Maybe there will be a Detour with a Grease Fire next week.

Mom gets major points for bringing that piece of perfection into the world. And they get along well. How many of us can even imagine running a race like with our MOTHERS (and I even love my mother but come on...)

Cole goes mud diving

That woman dancer is a horror show.

Agreed that Cole looked mighty fine in his little gold shorts. (BTW, on the TAR Twitter feed as well as Phil Keoghan's, several people asked why we didn't get to see Phil wearing them.) And gay as I am, I have to say that Cole's mom had some big tatas.

^^Big obviously fake tatas.

Cole's body is fucking perfect. Damn. Him in those gold shorts was awesome, but unfortunately all too fleeting. Way too much skin from the revolting team Caveman. Maybe if Cole and Momma hadn't been bringing up the rear....

Does Zach ping for anyone? I can't help feeling that in every scene with his wife she seems to be super into him and he seems to act like a gay guy with his girlfriend. I wonder if he's super religious or something.

Skintight gold lame swimsuits. The production team on this show has got to be the gayest since shows featured the June Taylor dancers.

The show missed a great opportunity by not having Phil go down the water slide in those swimsuits.

[quote]Does Zach ping for anyone?

Not just Zach. Matt and Cole ping like crazy as well.

I know they're playing up the "churchy, southern, small-town-boy" angle with Cole, but yeah, he pings to high heaven. Fingers crossed.

I think we've found our new Rocky!

[quote] Does Zach ping for anyone?

Yes. However, a lot of asians might come across as gay (when they're not), so it could be that. It's like that old meme, "he's not gay, he's British!"

[quote] Matt and Cole ping like crazy as well.

Matt, yes.... Cole, no. Cole strikes me as a typical silly 20-something. All those stupid funny faces and voices... I really don't think he's gay.

I'm not sure what to make of Matt. He could just be a very pussy-whipped straight guy. The way that he lets that horrible shrew Dana walk all over him, is uncomfortable to watch. The way that she freaks out and screams and yells, and then blames him and says it's all his fault? That's fucking ridiculous, especially when she admitted that her family yells and screams at each other.

Matt needs to get the fuck away from her as fast as he can. That bitch is TOXIC.

All of the guys looked so hot in their golden shorts, and I'm so pissed that Cole's segment hardly showed him in them. I loved seeing Brodie and Kurt in theirs, as well as Matt. The rest of them were kinda meh.

All I know is that I'm so happy that Cole was saved (again). Yay!

Cole's Jesus Testimony

I was quite disappointed with Brodie and Kurt in the gold shorts; not nearly as hot as I thought. Matt was by far the nicest to look at, followed by Cole. Unfortunately his mom added a really creepy element with her store bought tatas and commenting on his cuteness.

Every year, there seems to be a royal bitch (last year had 2), but Dana is a finalist for the worst race bitch ever. Serious personality disorder, as in, needs professional help, like, now.

[quote]All of the guys looked so hot in their golden shorts

All of us? Really? Me too?

You could use some toning, Tyler. Try some yoga.

Tyler looked terrible in those gold shorts. His toneless body is pretty much the same as my pale, dumpy, 54 year old uncle. Bad gay. Bad!

Cole...

Cole's pecs are heavenly.

His mom thinks so, too.

Nice pits, Cole!!!

Imagine a world in which Tyler wouldn't make a Britney reference within 10 seconds of having the snake on his shoulders.

Tyler certainly does his part to keep stereotypes about gay men alive and thriving.

Interesting finish. I want one of those kites!

.....

Those were difficult detours and roadblocks.....and a close finish. Glad that Cole & Mom made it through, but I was sorry to lose the team we did.....and horrified at the winning team! Ugh.

Next week looks like a struggle for a lot of the teams.

Brodie's a dimbulb, and everyone knows it. That' why they're so happy he got to do all the roadblocks.

The reason Kurt and Brodue are doing so well is because Kurt has done most if not all of the roadblocks. It'll be fun to see how they do from now on with Brodie having to do all of them. Next weeks episode looks good. I love when they have roadblocks or detours that everyone has trouble with. It makes the race to the pit stop more exciting.

[quote] Nice pits, Cole!!!

Heck yeah. I loved seeing both Cole's and Kurt's pits. So hot!

[quote] Brodie's a dimbulb

I never realized that Brodie was so dumb, until this episode.

All this time I thought he was an arrogrant jock-bro, but he was just deflecting from the fact that he knows full well, how stupid he really is. I was surprised how easily he gave up on the puzzle challenge in Dubai, but now it makes sense.

I kind of feel bad for him.

Sad that Zach and Miri went home. I was really hoping that Dana the harpie shrew would have been booted.

I didn't realize that Brodie is listed at 6'5" and Kurt is listed at 6'2". I just noticed they towered over some of the competitors. Cole must be around 6 feet (give or take an inch).

Brodie and Kurt (or, "The Boys" as they are called by Team Kween) are really fug. Brodie looks like a caveman with a busted grill and Kurt looks like a bird. Do their frisbee skills get them laid?

[quote]Do their frisbee skills get them laid?

No, it's the neckbeard, R236.

Love korey, he's cute.

Korey and Tyler starting out in first place this leg, and the Frisbee guys in last place.

Korey " I hope this chicken doesn't cock a doodle do do on me"

"This sarong is sa-right!" "Hyuk yuk yuk yuk yuk!"

Korey and Tyler U-Turn Brodie and Kurt while Korey is already regretting it.

"What the? Bondi Rescue star makes a surprise pilates cameo in mega US show The Amazing Race"

The article says that Bondi Rescue airs in the US? Which network?

The Bondi lifeguard described the Race contestants as "really hot" and "absolutely stiunning."

Of the 5 Racers her interacted with, 4 of th 5 are men. And one of them was Tyler!

Is he joking? Is he gay??

Wow, surprised they let them go. Oh welll.... cutie Cole for the win, please.

I wanted to see him rubbing Cole's thighs.

Lucky lifeguard can tug his todger to all of Tyler's YouTube videos to his heart's content!

Yuk Yuk Yuk.....we won again.....Yuk Yuk Yuk......we are so good.....Yuk Yuk Yuk.......

Loathsome

From R243's link, for all you pit lovers...

Cole's are even better, even blonder -- but they are cheating us with him. No lingering, you notice? Oh well, he has not disappointed and I am glad he is still there.

I can't believe, with all of the water stuff and swimming this week, that Cole never removed his shirt. Not fair.

Seriously, shut up!

Phil must have read DL, he keeps wearing khakis but shows no cock this season

Phil is promoting the Jake From State Farm Collection.

[quote] Korey and Tyler U-Turn Brodie and Kurt while Korey is already regretting it.

I'm pissed about this. Brodie and Kurt never stood a chance, no matter what they did. Korey and Tyler are pussies and so are Burnie and his partner. They knew that they much weaker teams, and so they had to wimp out and double team Brodie and Kurt.

In past races, teams wanted to win on their own abilities. This time, they decided to play dirty.

Just for that, I hope that Cole and his mother win. They're the only team worth rooting for, because I absolutely can't stand Matt and the Shrew.

Of course, next week is a non-elimination round. The last one, so I hope that Sherri and Cole get it for a third time! Haha, that would be hilarious.

Brodie wasn't that good, his partner did more and what was with the leg brace?

R255, I also wish TAR would eliminate the Double U-Turn. I want to see the best teams compete for the final leg. This is a race after all! If you cannot compete with the best, then, stay home!

That's why I don't watch Survivor because there is a lot of scheming involved. The strongest contestants usually get voted off by the weaker contestants. Who wants to see that!

[quote] I also wish TAR would eliminate the Double U-Turn. I want to see the best teams compete for the final leg. This is a race after all! If you cannot compete with the best, then, stay home!

Exactly.

How is it at all fair that you can run the entire race hard, win first place multiple times, make the final five, and then two teams can use a stupid card to make you come in last???

That's fucking ridiculous.

What the fuck is the point of running the race, if it all comes down to other teams scheming against you to make you come in last? After competing hard for thousands of miles??

That double u-turn is fucking bullshit.

And for that reason, I'm now rooting for Cole and Sheri FTW!!!

FTW!!!

Do you want ice with that?

Cole looks like a cro-magnon @ 261.

Nice body and arms, though.

R257 R258 Then you should also be in favor of eliminating the Express Pass, which arguably saved Brodie and Kurt a few episodes back.

Wrong 263.

Brodie and Kurt were in first place at that point.

Yes, the Express Pass should be eliminated, as well.

But there's no way they would have been out. Brodie just quickly gave up, and opted to use the EP. If he was forced to do the challenge, then he would have finished it.

It is practically guaranteed that he and Kurt would NOT have been eliminated that round, because that's when Dana had her meltdown and refused to get in the car. Matt and Dana were last in that leg, by a HUGE margin. Brodie and Kurt would not have been last. Not by a long shot.

But nice try.

I think the double U-turn was used exactly how it was supposed to be used. It's one of those wrinkles in the race that keeps it interesting, and Tyler and Korey, as much as I may not want them to win, used it exactly how they should have and I can respect the strategy of it. I think the race would be less interesting without these moments where the teams get chances to mess with each other.

That being said, with the frisbee guys removed, I don't know who could stand a chance against Tyler in Korey in the end, unless the gamers pull an upset like the news anchors pulled against the green team last season.

Fine R265, but then what is the point of the race, if you can consistently come in first, and then instantly be eliminated at the final five?

I mean, they were in THIRD PLACE headed to the finish line.

We're not talking about a team that was at the back of the pack in every leg of the race. Brodie and Kurt were consistently at the top.

Then in this leg, they were in third place, when Korey and Tyler decided to u-turn them, and Burnie and his partner put the nail in their coffin.

The bottom line is that two weaker teams had an opportunity to finish off the strongest team. They couldn't do it in a physical way, so they had to use the 2x-uturn to do it. That's not a race. That's not strength. That's weakness.

As if this season wasn't shitty enough, they had to throw this even shittier twist into the mix.

I feel like I wasted my time watching this season, only to see a good team eliminated at random.

R263, yes, I am for eliminating the Express Pass and non-elimination legs. Instead of non-elimination legs, I would put in more double-length legs.

I would also include a lot more fast-forwards to make it more interesting. More self-driving, as well!

[quote]How is it at all fair that you can run the entire race hard, win first place multiple times, make the final five, and then two teams can use a stupid card to make you come in last???

By fucking up and finding yourself at the back of the pack, that's how.

[quote]Brodie and Kurt were consistently at the top.

Until they weren't. That's the whole point. They were last, which made them vulnerable to the U-Turn. A competitive team who was at that time at the top took that moment made available to them by the rules of the game to make sure that they wouldn't be racing for the finish line with them. Brodie and Kurt could have prevented this by not screwing up and finding themselves at the bottom. It's that simple, and that's The Amazing Race

Christ, some Frisbee Fan Boy is butthurt because his team when home and suddenly the game is rigged and people are playing dirty. Grow up.

It does seem a bit manipulated these days to get the Alpha Boys out each race and keep things interesting/keep viewers guessing. Those two studs last time, now this... But Cole and Mom would be a good first. So rooting for them. (And, yeah, that mom gets a lot of points/goodwill, think of how tough that would be and she's more than doing her share).

If they keep the Express Pass, do the same thing they've done in past seasons -- once the team with the Pass uses it, they have to hand it over to another team at some point. That way, the original team gets a benefit but then they can also help someone else, perhaps someone at the back of the pack.

Wow, Frisbee Fan Boy is really butthurt.... but also has no idea how The Amazing Race works.

I don't mind the Express Pass but ask me next year when it targets a team I like.

"Fair Game"

20 something strong men VS 70 old man/20s girl/ 40 old woman/30s little gay men.

Fair my ass, this is The amazing race, it's not American Ninja.

I'm rooting for Cole and his mom, though I don't know of they have what it takes to go all the way. But Mom has worked exceptionally hard without complaint, and she's very likable.

As long as it's not the dancers -- that girl is awful!

So Cole and Mama are Christ fans yet Mama gets a tit job to attract attention from the male gaze for fame and fortune.

Fuck them and their fundy asses. Cole and Mama hate gays, just like they were taught to do in their church. I hope they lose AR to the bitchy dancer.

If Sherri and Cole and Dana and Matt had arrived at the U-Turn first (in either order) neither team would have been smart enough to do what Burnie and Ashley did. That required someone who was a big race fan and who understood strategy. Those aforementioned teams couldn't even figure out what the U-Turn board meant. They probably would've ended up U-Turning themselves.

Yes, team frisbee got fucked in the double u-turn, but it's not like the other two top teams are weaklings. Tyler and Korey have been near the top most of the time, as have Burnie and what's-her -face. And if Brodie and Kurt didn't want to get u-turned, well.......don't finish at the bottom with a target on your back. Also, as hot as Cole is, and as much as I want to see his ass and dick, he and his mom are ignorant fundie asshats, so fuck them.

I would love to see a "pure" race. No gimmicks, no passes, no u-turns, nothing special.

Just the fastest and the best, and see who wins the race. What a novel concept.

I would also like to see an "Amazing Race: Men's Edition" as well as an "Amazing Race: Women's Edition." There are so many different themes that the show could produce, which would be fun to watch, and it would also keep the show fresh.

I don't know why they keep incorporating reality stars and youtube people into the mix.

[quote]I would also like to see an "Amazing Race: Men's Edition" as well as an "Amazing Race: Women's Edition."

This might've worked five years ago, but with all of the trans shit that's happening now, this would be a disaster.

LOL cunt r278, The best and fastest team maybe eliminate if local taxi driver or airline's trouble.

As if Tyler and Korey couldn't be more revolting, now they're pairing us with the ugly (in every way) dancer?! Please, let neither couple win!

I meant TEAMING UP, sorry!

Anyhow, please let Burnie and Ashley or the mother and son (unlikely, I know!) win!

"Going into the final leg with five winth maketh me thertain we have a chanthe at the million dollarth. But I'm not one to count my chickenth......nyuk nyuk nyuk nyuk."

There is only ONE team that is worth rooting for in the final three....and it ain't the Loathsome Bitch or the other Loathsome Bitch.

My husband looked so hot and sexy on the scooter.

I have no idea how that was worked out, seemed like hours between them... but CONGRATS to my favorite team, don't want to spoil just in case.

I am hoping Tyler and Korey win, not really a fan of Tyler but I am getting a huge kick out of Korey. Sorry to those of you who don't like them but for me they are what has made this season worth watching.

Cole is hot but if he is half as dumb as he is acting that is just such a turn off for me, I wouldn't be upset if he and his mom wins as I like rooting for the underdog.

Just no win for Dana.

For me, anything other than Sherry and Cole winning next week is a letdown.

Me too r286, love Korey. Sheri & Cole are very very lucky in whole season, I have Brent & Josh (Season 21) vibe from them.

SPOILER: I was genuinely happy to see Sherry and Cole running to the mat, instead of Burnie and Ashley, to make it into the final three. One of the few times in TAR history where I was cheering at the television.

Count me in as a Korey fan,too! Tyler and that horrible girl Dana pairing up are like birds of a feather!(insert Tyler's laugh)

Burnie and Ashley were robbed of a final three finish by that dancer couple. Hope they get another chance.

Really glad for mom and son team-hope they win !!

[quote] As if Tyler and Korey couldn't be more revolting, now they're pairing us with the ugly (in every way) dancer?! Please, let neither couple win!

Yes! I was so disgusted that they paired up with the worst team in the history of TAR.

Not to mention them pussying out once again. "We suck at racing, so we want to eliminate all the best teams, so that we can compete against the worst! That's why we deserve a million bucks." Fucking losers.

[quote] For me, anything other than Sherry and Cole winning next week is a letdown.

I feel the same way. Sherry and Cole have sucked at everything, and yet they're still in the race. And they did it all by themselves.

I give them so much credit for their perseverance. That last challenge looked tough as hell, and the fact that they completed it in the rain and still came in third, made me so happy.

[quote] Just no win for Dana.

Dana is the cuntiest cunt who ever cunted on this show.

If she wins, I'll never watch again. People like her don't ever deserve anything good. EVER.

She is one nasty human being. Matt deserves so much better.

"We suck at racing, so we want to eliminate all the best teams, so that we can compete against the worst!"

That's called strategy.

"Sherry and Cole have sucked at everything, and yet they're still in the race. And they did it all by themselves. I give them so much credit for their perseverance"

No, what they have is called luck. They should have been eliminated twice. They aren't in the race still because of their efforts.

Bullshit and bullshit R292.

I don't give a crap about your opinion.

You're wrong on both accounts.

Mama Bigtits looks at her son like he's Elvis. She probably named her dildo after him.

Well, at least you have refuted me with well-reasoned arguments, r293.

I don't give a crap about your opinion but I'm responding to your opinion anyway because I do give a crap.

Sherry and Cole for the win!

Yeah, I am hoping for a little manipulation behind the scenes so Sherry and Cole can pull off a lucky break/miracle like that cool black couple way back when (Joyce and I forgot his name, began with a U). Remember how, voila, they just happen to find a ticket for a much earlier flight on the finale of their season? Because everyone wanted them to win. Hoping for the same this season. There is something endearing about both of them; they may be dummies but they are nice dummies, work hard and don't give up. Would be the most satisfying win since Zach and Flo (and that's without nightmare Flo in the equation).

Yes r298, I don;t believe how are they so lucky.

Uchenna, R298. Remember she cut her long hair and they were trying to have a baby. Really nice couple.

"I feel the same way. Sherry and Cole have sucked at everything, and yet they're still in the race. And they did it all by themselves."

No cunt:

In "Flag" challenge, dumb Cole teamed up with Bernie and kurt, he's dumber than model team.

In "Bench" challenge, Bernie gave Brodie & Kurt answer.

In "Car" challenge, 2-3 people helped Sheri.

I want to be inside Korey quite deeply.

Agreed R302, bet he gives good head too

ZING! @ R294

SHAVED her head, actually, and you could see it was a sacrifice but she took it like a champ -- and got rewarded with the win. I have that season on DVD and I see from the cover they were up against Rob and Amber and Ron Young the POW and his rather shrewish girlfriend Kelly. So their victory was the most satisfying (nobody wanted Rob & Amber to win yet again and that carried over to an All Stars season too, right? I remember being glad they got booted early). Joyce & Uchenna seemed genuinely nice the whole race. Were they the ones who wouldn't race to the finish until they had paid their cab driver off in full? (Or was that the other cool black couple from a few seasons before or after, can't recall, Chip & Kim maybe?)

My favorite team that R&A season was the two brothers who famously flipped over their car in the African desert -- one of whom has gone on to some acting success including being a regular on "Big Bang Theory". They were both great guys.

Tyler sure showed himself to be a sniveling little bitch. What crawled up his ass.... besides everything.

And c'mon, as mincing, prissy and prancing as he is, he didn't know that clue was referring to the Taj Mahal? Especially when there are a very limited number of options?

I may be old but can someone explain Tyler Oakley's YouTube fame? He's super annoying to me! Why is he so popular? And what is Burnie's claim to fame?

I don't get it either, R307. He sounds like a hyena.

Burnie is popular in the video game tech community.

Mom shows up in Cole's work too. At least they seem like relatively Cool Christians based on things like this (and that boob job).

Bump for tonight's finale

Quiz: which team pulled wigs out of their backpacks and pretend to be women?

A) the mom and son

B) the straight couple

C) Tyler and his friend

Quiz: which team leered at the person hired to keep them safe during a challenge?

A) the mom and son

B) the straight couple

C) Tyler and his friend

How in the HELL are Cole and his mother going to be able to do this rock climbing thing? It looks impossible! This is an exciting one actually.

The breeders are crushing it.

Dang, the Dancers are the only team I don't want to win, and looks like they are going to, figures.

[quote]Quiz: which team pulled wigs out of their backpacks and pretend to be women?

Yeah I cringed on that, why does every gay couple HAVE to play into the stereotype.

Please not the couple whose names I can't even remember!

Sheri is 45. I looked up her age. She has kicked butt this leg.

I can't figure out why TAR doesn't do a reunion show, all the other CBS reality shows do one. It would be highly watched and cheap to make.

dang... oh well, he's nice at least. but let down.

and Korey will make someone a great boyfriend.

Satisfying win for a shitty season.

Here's to non gimmicky casting for next year including gays we can root for.

The Amazing Race Prize List ---------------------------- 1st: 1 million; 2nd: 25,000; 3rd: 10,000; 4th: 7,000; 5th: 6,000; 6th: 5,000; 7th: 4,000; 8th: 3,500; 9th: 2,500; 10th: 2,000; 11th: 1,500.

Only $25k for 2nd? Should be $100k.

Yes, they should do a reunion show.

Dana at the Finish Line: "We'd rather be passionate than boring."

Mission failed

Well maybe winning the money will cause Dana and Matt Steffanina to split up, he should have to live the rest of his life with that level of abuse. If it doesn't I hope she uses a portion of her winnings for anger management.

shouldn't

Just think, if they did a reunion show, they could afford better payouts for the non first place finishers.

Matt and Dana are engaged so they'll probably use the money for their wedding. What Korey said about Tyler was very sweet. While T&K play into a lot of the stereotypical gay stuff, they both came off as kind and genuine... except for the part where they blatantly lied to Sherri and Cole, that was shady as hell.

Probably not that much to talk about on a reunion show since they don't spend much time together and even sabotage is rare. It's not like spending weeks together on an island. And once a team is cut, they are more or less completely forgotten, never figure in later (as in a vote or whatever). But I do like that they cast nice folks for the most part these days. A little dull maybe but not bad.

Brodie's glare of death at Tyler made me LOL.

So Tyler and Korey split $10K. After taxes that's approximately $3,500 each. I hope Korey didn't quit his job.

Maybe the male dancer gets off on the abuse from the she-beast.

Does anyone care enough to find out if hashtag Blodie is going strong? I'm sure it's in their Twitter or frisbee videos.

Korey is one of the best players that has ever done the race. He's steadfast, clever and resilient with a great personality.

R333 = Korey

Hi Korey! Welcome to Datalounge.

GODDAMN IT WAS THE SHREW

Not the outcome I was expecting--I thought for sure Korey and Tyler were going to be the winners. I was kind of meh on most of the teams and I hope there'll just be regular contestants on the next season--no reality stars or anything like that.

R329, say WHAAAT? Since when has Tyler EVER been "genuine"? He's the fakest fake who has ever faked. You better be nice to him or else he WILL block you on Twitter. True story! It happened to me. I never even @ replied him. I was tweting about him though. He must have searched up his own name and blocked everyone who didn't kiss his scrawny white ass. Talk about pathetic. And don't even get me started on his shameless famewhoring and self promotion. Everything is all about his products. There's so many other more genuine, nice and actually talented youtubers out there, yes, even gay ones. Then there's Tyler. He's an embarrassment to this whole community.

I still don't know anything about Matt and Dana-except what a harpy she is. This was a 'meh' finish. Would love to see Korey and Cole again in the future...

You know, I was really hoping that Matt and Dana wouldn't win because I loathed Dana with the heat of 10,000 suns.

But for some reason, I was okay with this ending. Not only because Matt seems like such a sweet guy, but because I have to respect Dana for just killing it at the end.

If it wasn't for her being SUCH a harpy shrew, they probably wouldn't have won. She called all the shots at the end, and it's what helped them jump into the lead, and find the boat in the harbor. And at the end, she just blew through that final challenge, which really impressed me.

I haven't seen a team dominate in the last leg, so much as this team. There was no doubt that they would win - and their win was definitive. I can't take anything away from them.

[quote] Maybe the male dancer gets off on the abuse from the she-beast.

Something dawned on me in the final leg.

There are some men who NEED women to act beastly towards them, as a motivational tool.

Most guys will take charge, but on the other hand, there are guys like Matt who actually seem more comfortable letting the female take the lead. It's almost as if he can't think for himself, and he needs her to make the decisions for both of them.

I don't know if it's true, but it certainly seems that way.

I'm happy for Sherri and Cole. I wanted them to win, but second place isn't bad.

I was hating on Korey and Tyler, but that end made me mushy for them.

I was happy for all of the final three, so this was a pretty satisfying ending for me.

R340= Still using stale "heat of 10,000" suns schtick.

R341? Drop dead, you stinking filthy cunt.

You don't like it? Poke your eyes out, you fucking filth.

OH! Please burn me with your "heat of 1,000 suns"! Let me feel the burn!

Maybe Korey can convince Cole of his true nature, and they can compete next cycle as a couple.

And Tyler can pair up with his "future husband," Brandon.

I did kind of think Matt and Dana had a chance after watching how determined they were when they had that carrying chickens and coconuts challenge a while back - they really pushed through that one - so did the other teams of course but they really tried to go for it. Matt is soooo calm - not too many people are in this world. Dana's lucky.

No twists or turns. It was like whoever didn't grab the ticket on first try was doomed, impossible to catch up. They needed one "grouping" spot somehow where it was an even playing field again, if only to build suspense. Here, the pit stop/finish line wasn't even hard to find.

Whew......I wanted Sherry Boobs and Cole Clown to win, but I was okay with Dana and Matt - anyone but Tyler. Too bad Korey was paired with NYUK NYUK....and it was nice that the sound folks muted Tyler's last laugh. We only had to look at his stupid face and teeth while he brayed.

Dana and Matt were determined, and even losing their cab didn't slow them down much.

NOW please TAR back to real people....PLEASE! And don't ever have Tyler back on again. Thank you.

Tai from Survivor should be cast on TAR.

Tai from Survivor should be cast in a fire pit.

Yes, Sherry really had big boobs. It was shocking. I would've been alright she and Cole had won, they weren't ever really nasty to anyone as far as I can remember. Tyler pissed me off when he was yelling about someone stealing his backpack in an old episode, he showed a side and that's when I no longe was rooting for them.

I will miss Corey's rockin' bod.

Korey was really cute, I thought. I'd like to see him top Cole, who in my mind is a cumslut bottom.

Korey ain't all that. Y'all desperate.

Matt (?) won me over with that terrifying leap off the building. But the absolute last challenge should have been made tougher. Remember the deaf guy's meltdown with the surfboards during the memory challenge? "Maaaaaa!!!!!"

Ha ha Tyler got the bum cab driver and in his hometown of all places! Can't blame it on the language barrier. "Um, can't you follow directions??" Nope, sorry seniorita!!!

AR is over and Survior ends next week. You know what that means, right?

It's time for BIG BROTHER!!!!!

R354 I'm pretty sure Santa Barbara isn't his home town. And if it had been, he'd have been able to give directions himself.

I meant Cole.

[quote]Tyler pissed me off when he was yelling about someone stealing his backpack in an old episode, he showed a side and that's when I no longe was rooting for them.

Tyler's passport was most likely in his backpack, on TAR you must have your passport to keep racing, without it you are disqualified. You would have been yelling also.

Agreed R358.

There are many reasons to hate Tyler, but a missing backpack is not one of them. He was justifiably worried.

[quote]Korey ain't all that. Y'all desperate.

Not desperate, but not everyone is charmed by a rockin' body as much as a great personality. Kory is hot enough but he is the type of person you would enjoy being with long after the looks have faded.

Seasons ago, The Amazing Race has somewhat of a mini-crossover with Survivor when the former featured Boston Rob and Ambuh. I'm somewhat surprised that they haven't done anything similar since (that I can remember), either contestants featured on Survivor or destinations based on CBS shows. Cross-promotion, get to it!

Please no more cross-promotion seasons. Just give me regular folks like TAR was in the beginning.

R361 They also featured that idiot couple from Big Brother (TWICE, just like Rob and Amber.)

R363, you're thinking of Brendan (and his big dick) and his shrill gf/now-wife. Can't stand her. He was cool.

BTW, not that I'm hoping for more CBS product placement, I'm just surprised the network hasn't done more of it on TAR. Although they did have it with daytime programming with The Price Is Right this year (with TAR, Survivor and Big Brother), it's possible with prime time filming locations (e.g. "Fly to Hawaii and find the cast of Hawaii 5-O at xxxxx")

Moar Caleb! He's the only one that I want to see on TAR.

Korey looks like a walking animatronic doll with those big,soft gay eyes!!

And I can't believe that Cole would make his mother do such a dangerous stunt! I would have never let my mother do such I rough challenge-I would have sucked it up and do the best that I could-that jumping was made for a tall person like Cole. If he had done it instead of Sherrie they may have won.

Now people have gay eyes now? Ridiculous

Wish the AR producers did a better job on their finale episode. In most cases the tasks are just too easy and there's zero suspense as one team runs away with it. An example of how not to do it is the finale in Chicago where the contestants had to eat deep dish pizzas. That was dumb.

A good example of how to do it is the memory challenge finale at the UN where the goat farmers won. That was one of the better, more suspenseful finishes.

This one sucked because once Matt got the flag it was pretty much over. They need to really up the level of difficulty to make it more interesting.

And he had the longest legs to jump with, too!

BOGUS MAN, BOGUS!

Hate that they got divorced but look at how pretty Joyce is these days.

On the other hand, thrilled to hear that Ron Young got rid of the beauty queen nightmare shortly after their race. That one was doomed. He could do a lot better.

I kind of got the sense that they all had figured out earlier in the race what the final puzzle would be, because they all breezed right through the damn thing.

R370, all happy, healthy, well adjusted people----I just want to set them all on fire!

Each team member must do an equal number of roadblocks by the end, Cole had already done 7, Sherri had to do the last one since she had only done 6, it was not possible for Cole to do the last one.

"Goat Farmers"????!!!!!!???

Has it really come to this, DL?

"Goat Farmers"!!!!!!!!!

Ok, if you say so!

I hated the goat farmers. Who wouldn't have wanted Jaymes & James to win?

When will Matt come out of the closet?

I liked Korey and Tyler. I thought they were sweet and pleasant and as Phil said, it seemed they never stopped smiling.

And the other teams seemed to like them a lot, too...

I used to detest Tyler because of his social persona, but with Korey he seemed more normal and acceptable. Korey seems like the untrumpeted wind beneath Tyler's wings.

Jaymes and James were great but I still enjoyed the Goat Farmers winning. It's because they weren't part of the clique and everyone had shut them out. I hate stupid cliques especially on a show like this. I was very happy none of them won the million dollar.

Poor josh (authenticated) is now referred to on DL as simply "goat farmer." We care nothing of our history, sad.

I find Jaymes' VAMPIRE single catchy.

He sure knows how to work the camera, that's for sure. Always liked him and his racing partner. Did they bring them back for All Stars?

Most gay teams have acquitted themselves well, with the exception of that stupid dating season with the two bitchy fems that couldn't drive a stick shift.

Apparently Tyler and Korey will be in Season 31 and it will be pure hell: "All-Stars" from The Amazing Race, Big Brother, and Survivor (Rupert Boneham. *barf*

Just binge watched season 28 and I thought Tyler and Korey were ok, but by the end of the season I was totally rooting for Cole and his mom Sheri, She was such a trooper.
