The Amazing Race 11: All-Stars

**I actually think it’s ironic that they would reference Jesus, who seems to have so little standing in today’s society. I would have expected them to say Donald trump or the like **

I guess they weren’t thinking about the ratings.

On a different topic: What was worse, Eric’s condescension toward Danielle, including humiliating her while she did the Roadblock by constant loud references to her “boobs”; or Danielle accepting it all?

I loved Rob and Amber and am very disappointed they will not be on anymore. Hated them on Survivor but came to really like them on the first Amazing Race. They treat each other so well. Just really sad the season is over for me. No one else that I really like. I do like Joyce & Uchienna but they have already won so just don’t really care anymore. The excitement for me it gone so I probably will not be a faithful watcher anymore. Weather is getting nice and we’ll be outside. Sunday nights won’t be the same.

I’m rooting for Danny and Oswald now that Romber is gone. Go Team CHA CHA. Charla and Mirna seriously need to go home soon though, but thats not what I’m hearing happens

I am so glad Rob and Amber are gone. Now I can enjoy the rest of the race. I am hoping Joyce and Uchenna go all the way again.

Preach it, sister!

Oh, and Rob: it’s spelled “P-h-i-l-i-p-p-i-n-e-s.”

Now let’s get the Schmirnas gone, even if they are from my home state. I like how Mirna boo-hooed about how she had to do more than anyone on the Race to make up for -]Charla/-] their shortcomings.

On another board, someone complained about Danny and Oswald and Joe and Bill kissing each other. As much of a problem as I have with the homosexual agenda, I must say those kisses didn’t bother me at all.

Eric’s constant objectifying of Danielle bothers me MUCH more. Sheesh, Jeremy and Dani had to tell them, “No babies on the Race!” Then again, Uchenna and Joyce could get that adopted child they’ve always wanted.

I didn’t start watching this season until this past Sunday. I didn’t even know this was on. I didn’t know when it was going to start but since I don’t watch much TV, I had no idea when this was going to start. I missed the last 2 or 3 seasons I think.

Anyway, I am so glad that Romber are GONE!! http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i85/Alegre-Fe/Emoticons/woohoo.gif Woohoo!

My favorite people in this whole season are Uchenna and Joyce. They were my favorite the season they won!! And they still are my favorite people on this show. Uchenna is such a good guy. You can see the love they have for each other.

BUT I would love to see Danny and Oswald win this season. they were my favorite in season 2 but they came in 4th. So I think they should win this time. I loved their nonchalant attitude on season 2. I loved that they enjoyed themselves and they were so relaxed and yet they came pretty far. Imagine if they weren’t so relaxed? You never know.

I want Danny and Oswald to win!

 

[AlegreFe]

I’m totally all about Rob and Amber… they’re my favorites to win. They race well, and I like them, and I’ve met Rob a few times. He’s not the jerk he comes across as on TV, he’s actually pretty nice.

“Jerk” or no jerk, he is very conniving and devious.

If someone is truly “nice” then they should be that. I don’t believe that he could be nice to people with whom he’s competing. I just don’t see it in him. He told Amber that he’s proud of her for lying to Mirna and Charla.

It serves them right to finally get cut off this race. Rob has one big head, a HUGE ego! I shall pray for the guy, and for Amber too, especially because they might be using ABC to hold off having kids right now. Amber has changed for the worst since she’s been married to Rob.

But it’s a RACE. They weren’t having a good leg. Frankly, I would have lied too, and here’s why. Amber was not talking directly to Mirna. She simply said got it. Mirna and Charla allegedly have 2 functioning brains between themselves ( I say allegedly because Charla seems like a nice enough person, but Mirna…well I have a laundry list of unpleasant things I could say about her). They didn’t have to go down that path. They chose to follow Rob and Amber’s “got it” and go down there. Then they got mad that Rob and Amber lied. Then when confronted by Charla and Mirna Amber lied again, but frankly Mirna is two steps shy of a breakdown, and Amber alreadymetaphorically poked the crazy with the stick, and to fib and say she wasn’t talking to them, was more than likely a mode of self preservation to not have Mirna come over and eat her eyeballs. Which I think she is capable of doing, unless it’s at a road block and then she’d make Charla do it.

Frankly after Mirna’s behavior toward Charla at the first detour, she has some serious bad Karma coming her way, and I can’t think of a better person to have it happen to. I don’t buy into her being frustrated that she has to do everything, because she doesn’t have to do everything. In the original season they were on, Charla did the lionshare of the stuff, Mirna whined and flipped out. Charla carried a slab of beef that was at least half of her body weight, while Mirna carried their backpacks. Mirna is a complete lunatic

But it’s a RACE. They weren’t having a good leg. Frankly, I would have lied too, and here’s why. (no reason is good enough to lie on this race) Amber was not talking directly to Mirna.

added comment mine

Amber meant for that comment to be a lie for Mirna to take. Rob was “congratulating” Amber for lying. Amber made it very clear that it was a lie. Rob was “proud of her” for lying. He even said it. He said that he was rubbing off on her and that it was good.

I find no reason for lying on this game. There have been plenty of people who haven’t lied on this race. I would rather be honest or not talk at all, then to lie and win. It’s just like taking a test in school but you cheated and got an “A.” That was not an honest “A” that you earned.

I see you’re from Boston and perhaps the reason for the bias on Rob.

I wouldn’t care if Rob was my next door neighbor at one point, I still wouldn’t like him or his actions.

 

[OldAgeGuru]

I agree that Amber was directing the Got it comment to Mirna. But she didn’t directly say it to her. Mirna chose to operate under the assumption that Rob and Amber were trying to help them out.

Sure some teams don’t lie, but it’s part of the race. Lying about flights, lying about where they found the clue box etc.

I wasnt rooting for Rob and Amber because he’s from here, or because I’ve met him a few times. I was rooting for them because they were good racers. Hence the reason I’m now rooting for the Cha Chas and the Guidos.

Frankly I don’t care who wins at this point so long as it’s not Charla and Mirna. I can’t stand Mirna. She’s rude, she’s ignorant, (Mirna adding and O to the end of words in every country doesn’t make it that language), and she just seems like an all around unpleasant person to be around.

 

[Katie1723]

This is all about winning, what, $1 million? It’s called doing just about anything to win. That being said, I am glad Rob & Amber are gone. I didn’t like them from their Survivor days. The “bad” thing about them being gone, is we stand a chance of seeing them in a future Race. I sure hope not.

That’s what’s wrong with society today. Just because everyone else might be lying or scheming doesn’t mean that one should do it. The devil loves to make up these lies and he loves when everyone joins in; he has a field day with it. Don’t listen to the devil. That is greed/devil working inside someone… a person would do just about anything for a buck, or in this case a million of them. If God wants you to have a million He’ll give it to you. But “being filthy rich” is not our goal in life; especially when we’re not very Christian-like in trying to get it.

:bigyikes: Aahhh, please no :nope: I would hate to see them on another show. :hypno:

 

[Cygnus_X1]

The Schmirnas won a leg. That marks the end of the world. :bigyikes:

Eric bashed Joe and Bill (“The Guidos”) for having the gall to beat him to the mat, calling them “queens.” That was the culmination of an episode where he and Danielle went at it with the Guidos pretty much the whole time. Maybe the Guidos and Danny and Oswald are living immoral lifestyles, but guess what? So are Eric and Danielle. Why else would their former teammates have told them, “No babies on the Race”?

A sweaty, filthy Oswald chasing Phil off the mat (lest he get hugged) was hysterical. Where was the “Yakety Sax” music?

Danny and Oswald are not “together” and they weren’t “together” on the other season in which they participated. They are merely friends. As a matter of fact, they had a fallout for a couple of years and didn’t speak to each other. They don’t even live in the same state right now. They’ve since reconciled as friends; but still don’t live in the same state, they just speak once in a while via phone, email…etc.

Danny had a partner, Nelson, who died of aids. But I don’t know if he now has a new partner. As far as Oswald, I don’t know if he has a partner or not. I will pray for both of them so they can realize that they need to live a celibate life.

Yes, this was a riot!

I do believe you are correct. Thanks for the clarification.

My stomach hurts! Unfortunately, we missed most of the race this week thanks to the delay from the NCAA and the VCR timer settings… :doh2: Thanks for the visual.

Is CBS going to put full episodes of the race on the website. That comes in handy with Survivor. We almost missed it this week, too. Gotta love March madness.

I wish they would, but they haven’t, and likely won’t.

Quote of the year, after Dustin, um, loses her two feet of sausage:
Eric: “Ladies and gentlemen, Miss California!”

Nice, poignant visit to Auschwitz.

And can the Schmirnas please get MORE annoying?

 

[reganq]

And can the Schmirnas please get MORE annoying?

I am sure it will happen this week from the previews. “We’re here to make love, not war…” I’m sure that is what the ninjas are thinking too. :hypno:
