THE AMAZING RACE - Ep. 3

This was more like it.  For us, a very enjoyable episode.  Chile and Argentina were stunning in their scenery.  I'd like to see that bar where, it seemed from the show's narration, that Butch and Sundance met their demise.

I keep wondering when teams will get the message RTFC! (that means READ THE CLUE).

Jeff and Jordan wasted a good deal of time trying to get the wrong guy to check their work instead of seeing that the clue said he'd be at the train station.  Apparently, the clue also said that the money bags would have the matching coordinates of their detour instructions also. 

These two missed that also. 

This team did have the best line when Jeff acknowledged on the mat that they shouldn't reproduce.

The cowboys were awesome.  I love to see a team not only do well on the race, but have fun while they're doing it.  It seemed the tension between them and the lesbian team was mostly manufactured by the editing process...there was more tension between those two ladies than between the teams.

For Team Miss South Carolina...I feel for you.  I've been there and it is not fun trying to chug along when you're sick.

Team Moms was eliminated...didn't really get a feel for that team so I won't really miss them.  Next week it's Germany and Beer.  I can't wait!

THE AMAZING RACE - Ep. 1

Our favorite show is back on the air, here's how we saw it...
TAR 16: EP 1 (Air date 2/14/10) -
Okies! Police - best teams via first impression


UGH...Big Brother.  Leave the stunt casting alone.

Letty: "71 years old-wow"

Starting at Elysian Park…better than the LA river

Public transit…here in LA!!! Hope they know about the flyaway bus or that they read our LA transit report.

Phil: whoosh!

Good, flyaway is the quickest way..

Team Miss South Carolina is far from Unions Station.

The blue line…not the quickest way

Establishing shots are of a regular bus, not the flyaway and the gold land green lines, not the blue.

Brazilian money? For Chile? Team Okie just lost a few points with me.

LAX - the worst aiport in the world

Cool funiculars
San Francisco of South America…I had heard that Toronto was the New York of Canada…not so much

Chile is not Brazil…repeat three times

Letty is going crazy at the bad Spanish

Tightrope walking! Woo hoo

How did the teams know someone would need to not be afraid of heights?

Those shaky legs would freak me out.

Letty and Tim are getting sick of “I love you , bro”
The funicular reminds me of Salzburg

Adrian’s pretty buff

Read the clue!
Is this a detour (painting)?

It’s not too hard to find if you ask for directions

Of course the teams we like are in the back of the pack.

Pretty city but it doesn’t look too accessible.

Someone didn’t watch the Karate Kid…paint on, paint off.

Drunken, elderly person on stilts…but still a triathlete!

That’s a nasty fall for Adrian

Cord’s flying

Kind of a weird prize after the luge accident this weak.

Read the CLUE!

Breaking and painting!

Free labor for the locals

Don’t assume!

Texas? I thought they were Okies

Doesn’t the grand daughter look llike Sally Field?

Boy, they didn’t even make it to the mat!

All in all, kind of a slow first episode, but it's still the race...see you next week!
