The Amazing Race: We Won't Just Die, Like Roaches

what on earth was the final episode? you mean those three teams all went through hell, only to let Bama lose by not getting a flight? come on, does anyone see racism and classism here? guess the dark single moms weren't tv-worthy enough--any thoughts?

The wanna be blondes are so indicative of American
Bee-iches. Glad they lost and I feel sorry for the fools that someday marry them.

The "blondes'? The "bleach blondes" would be a more appropriate name. How about calling them the "roots" for their extremely dark roots? There is no way these two wannabe's ever won, let alone competed in a beauty pageant. They're nothing but two desperate sycophants- they will be this way through life as they now race to find a Sugar Daddy.

You two "dark rooted bleached blondes" were served, and now your owned. Loo-hoo-zers!

I was sorry to see the Blondes eliminated tonight. In my opinion, they have been awesome competitors throughout the race. They truly worked as a team, and never gave up on each other. Contrast this to Rob and Kimberly -- I can't stand him screaming at her, and I can't stand her crying. She was a total WIMP at the tomato episode, and they should have lost right there instead of winning. Kimberly showed me that she is a true QUITTER when faced with a challenge, and they wouldn't be in the race if it wasn't for Rob. The 'Bama girls are equally obnoxious. Although the Blondes called them sistahs, the Bama team is equally disrespectful by calling them Barbies. The Bama team is also about as poor of competitors as I have ever seen. That leaves it to the Models to take the show.

am i the only one who was irritated with the yield being behind the opening gate? it just doesnt make sense, i'm convinced the producers saw bama being first and knowing they would use it, put it behind the gate. they do NOT want barbies to lose! of course they came in last and then the producers decide, we'll make this non-elimination night. yawn. so scripted!

I'd love to see the annoying racist blondes lose. After being known as "Alabama" or "bamas" the blondes started saying "the sistahs." And they say it with so much stereotypical attitude! First they said it rolling their necks & moving their hands like something from a 1980's blackxplotation film. Ugh!

By the way.....the blondes should be referred to as PAGEANT winners because they are FAR from Beauty...and have way less grace and couth as any Queen.

I'm glad the smaller black lady FINALLY calmed down too....because the way she let other people affect her & make her get upset was getting so irritating. The last couple of weeks she actually Smiled! 8-O

But why the hell didn't the fat one at least attempt to start working out before the race? Whenever they're close to the pit stop the same time as another team, the other team can almost walk & still beat them. Ridiculous! They need a miracle AND a huge lead to actually win the million dollars.

(Cool blog. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one uncomforatble with "the sistahs," comment).

What's the point of putting a Yield on a non-elimination leg? (Again)

Zwicker: There will indeed be an All-Star version of The Amazing Race, starting in February I believe. The teams have already started racing - they were seen in Miami. To my mind it's not really an All-Star version however. In my books an All-Star version of the show would feature the first or second place teams from the previous races except the current one and the Family Edition (where possible - there are some relationships that have broken up like Reichen & Chip from TAR 4). Unlike other reality competitions this show is based on performance rather than popularity with either the audience or the other competitors so the winners are the people who have done the best job of racing, which in my book makes them the real "All Stars." Instead, from what little we know the producers seem to have picked popular teams without regard to their finish in the race - although some of them are good choices from a performance point of view. Rumoured to be racing are: Charla & Mirna, Colin & Christie, David & Mary (!), and Rob & Amber. Not racing are winners BJ & Tyler and Chip & Kim, both of whom are decidedly unhappy about not being picked.

Zwicker, yes we do have an allstar TAR next year. You can read about it here:

I hate the Yields, it just turns the contestants into wimps and whiners. I always love the teams that were going to Yield get Yielded, then proceed to throw a hissy-fit about it. I think the girls would have yielded somebody no matter who was behind them. It was the last Yield so there was no threat of "Yield revenge". I absolutely love watching them... besides the obvious eye-candyness, they are having fun and are pretty down-to-earth (not stupid, but not the brightest bulbs either). As for leaving Rob and Kim on the side of the road, so what... they had a jack and a spare (and a cameraman with a sat phone I assume). I think the race hobbles random cars on purpose tho, cars seem to break down a lot lately.
