Amazing Race 6 : Let's discuss it!

[chippers21]

I did edit in your guesses for this week,Kelly. I have always tried to make allowances for folks as long as they get their guesses in before the show. But please try to get them in by the deadline as it would be a nightmare to have to edit everyones guesses at the last minute.

Only a little longer. The rest of the family is watching a chick flick but it will be over before the show....

Thank you very much Liz. I will get it in on time for the rest of the shows. We had a very busy extended weekend. Friday was a birthday party, Saturday we had a soccer game and a team party. Then we had a birthday sleepover for my son with 9 children. Then after they were picked up on Sunday we went to my MIL for a Thanksgiving dinner. Monday we took the kids to Disneyland and now we are back to normal. I can't wait for tonights show.

Thank you again for taking my late entry. You are the best.

Good show!!

I can't believe neither of the girls could drive a stick!! Isn't stick the main form of driving in a lot of other countries?

People seem to be losing their cool a lot quicker this season than in past seasons. If it continues like this than someone is just going to have a breakdown.

Figures the one week I skip the bonus question, I only get one question right anyhow!! Goes to show that you never know what is going to happen in this Race!

I just watched this show for the first time ever tonight. I can't stand the wresting couple. My favorites are Haydon and Aaron.

[kayemjay]

There sure was lots of bickering tonight. I honestly don't see how the relationships of some of them will survive. Nasty lot of bad tempered people.

[chippers21]

Gus and Hera were impressive. I was touched at the relationship that Don and MaryJean have. Neither of the all girl couples were bickerers. Aaron sure had a tough time with the "skiing". But he and Hayden did quite well despite it. Jon and Kris seem to not fight much. Freddy and Kendra seem okay too. Let's not let Adam and Rebecca, Lori and Bolo, and Jonathan and Victoria mess up the enjoyment of the show for us. They actually spice it up for me.
I have not scored the contest, but I believe I got the bonus right but got 0 points this week! Just goes to show anything can happen.

I felt sorry for the sisters. It was just bad luck that they chose so many bales of hay without the clue inside.I was hoping that it would be a non-elimination leg .I wonder why they waited for two hours to come and and stop the girls from searching.Poor kid was exhausted.
I enjoyed the show and I agree that the bickering does add spice to the mix.I really don't know how Victoria puts up with Jonathan, but Adam is just about as mean to Rebecca.At least she isn't married to him and will never have to see him again when the race is over.

[kells3]

I also felt bad for the sisters. I really liked them because they got along well and never said anything bad about anyone else. I think the women wrestler (sp?) is almost as bad as Jonathan.

[ShainaT]

Yes, Lori is a tough cookie. Those two are so STRONG though (Lori and Bolo).

Someone pointed something out earlier that I noticed a lot of last night....there is way too much sweet talk going on!! Baby this and baby that, sweetie, honey, etc.!! It is tiresome!!

Don and Mary Jean got super lucky last night. They are very nice but just don't have the mentality for this game IMO.

[kayemjay]

Yes I thought that it was quite pathetic how Don was almost begging the clerk to say that he had the right count. Something about being forty years older than anyone else. As if that should give him special privilages. He knew he was older than most of them when he started out.
Personally, with everyone counting out loud, I don't know how anyone could get the right count.

[mayfly]

The sisters were heartbreaking! Lena was amazing to do that for 8 hours- wow! Didn't they totally make up for the pizza boys of last season?

For the most part all the contestants still look the same to me, except for the 3 nasty couples.

[chippers21]

I think Jon and Kris must have an alliance of some sort with Hayden and Aaron and they are both nice couples. They finish if front consistently and are going to be hard to beat.
I find Lori/Bolo and Jonathan/Victoria entertaining, and despite Jonathan's constant yelling, I get the feeling he really does care about her. His abrasive style gives us a bad impression of him but I would bet in his normal life he is pretty much decent.
I forgive Don the statements about being 40 years older. He was just very tired and depressed at the time. I give them credit for not giving up and building the desk. That is what everyone should have done. The counting exercise was ridiculous, while the building exercise was simply working together to follow directions. I could have done that one by myself. The poor sisters were certainly very unlucky. Sorry to see them go.
Of all the teams, I think I like Gus and Hera the best. He is so out-of-shape and yet he just keeps pluggin.

I watched phil's diary on line yesterday and was in tears watching him go tell the sisters it was an elim round. 8 hours pushing hay. unbeleivable. i dont know how she did it and kept up her spirits and her sister was very supportive, no yelling at how stupid she was or to keep going and do a nother one no matter how tired.

i was kinda worried about don at the ikea. he looked wiped out like he might have a heart attack or something.

i dont know why everyone didnt build!! they can be tough to get together but with 2 people doing it it is much easier. i do those things by myself and get them semi right. 2 people would be a piece of cake, as long as one lead and one followed, like gus and hera.

i like chris and jon and hayden and aaron. they seem like good people who are aware of what they are doing and havent been making stupid mistakes. as long as neither of them have the bad luck lena and kristy had they should make it far.

i think lori and bola are gruff people but i like them. i bet they are hysterical in real life. one of them commented on how they had only had 6 hours sleep in 4 days, or something like that. so we have to remember they have a rest stop every 24 hours but a lot of times that is in the middle of the day, and little sleeping goes on, and some of the sleeping times might be on the ground outside a store, like at the ikea. i am sure that lack of sleep would make me a real b*tch also, an i am a very laid back, calm person. I think understanding that soooo much more is going on that we dont see makes me appreciate the yelling and what the contestants are going through a lot more.

i think i am going to like this one a lot.

[crazytimes]

I like Kris & John the best. I wish the old couple had gone home instead of the sisters; those sisters sure didn't deserve to go home.

Do you know if they hid the same amount of clues as teams or if the hide some extras?

I've just got to realize that this show will never be just about your racing ability, but it seems like there is a lot more bunching this season! It drives me nuts. Makes for more interesting TV I guess, but really not fair to teams with a big lead.

[kayemjay]

I think that they said there were twenty clues hidden in the bales but I forget how many bales they said there were.Probably close to one hundred.
