Trini: And you must be psychic too because you answered the question that I'd meant to ask but just noticed that I hadn't. I'd wondered if that's what inspired your screen name but accidentally didn't finish the question, lol. Thanks!

Jmm: Thanks for the info. I missed that somehow.

Or that stuff that can blow you to high heaven. (Assuming we're still talking about TNT, naturally! :-))

Amazing Race Connor and Jonathon Inconsistencies screwed us over...

http://www.tvguide.com/News/Amazing-Races-Connor-1024482.aspx

TVGuide.com: You did well up until the Detour. Why did you choose Sleds?
Jonathan: We thought we were decently physical and we'd go for the quick-and-dirty challenge. ... You hear "sledding," you think it's a sled, but this was an extreme course on a contraption with serious banks. You could still fall a bunch and make it, so we were very close to making it.
Connor: What made it tough was that Jonathan, compared to the other contestants, was so inconsistent. He would miss it by 15 seconds and then by a minute. Then it'd be by 1 second and then 2 minutes. Every time, we thought we should try again because we got so close, so it was difficult for us to give up. If Jonathan had started crying like Stephanie, we would've switched right away. [Laughs] Because he did so well and then did poorly, we decided to stick with it and that's what cost us time. It was that Jonathan did relatively well that it screwed us over in the end.

TVGuide.com: How many times did you do it?
Jonathan: We did five tries. The first, I was about 8 seconds away. The third one, I was 1 second. We did 1:58, just like Gary and Mallory. We did two more and by that time I was so beaten up that I said, "I can't do this." So we switched to Beds, which we did pretty quickly.

Oh I'm so happy that it'll be in HD. I always wonder why Survivor does HD and TAR doesn't. It'll make all those beautiful locations look even better.

I don't know if this has been posted here yet, but ABC is going to have a show similar to Amazing Race, called Expedition Impossible

http://www.tvguide.com/News/ABC-Orders-Global-1025093.aspx

it's going to have an Indiana Jones style - I think it sounds cool!

Now all the remaining teams have won a prize except the bikers. I would like to see them get a first place and win a prize, because I don't think they will make to the end.

I don't think there's ever been a team to win the Race without coming in first place on one of the legs. But that would be someting to see !

Cowboy, ITA. I'm not crazy about Nick, but Vicki of the bikers has worked her heart out and kept her personality and cool all the way.

Loved it last night, when she offered to do the Oman rappelling. She said pph 'I'm not afraid of anything - except bugs!'

I don't see them making it to a win. Especially if there's a puzzle or memory challenge just prior to the sprint to the finish. Most likely to get lost or another flat tire.

LOL...I think Nick is the biker, but Vicki's bio doesn't say anything about it. I had to think who were the bikers...LOL! Now if you had said the tattooed couple...

Did anyone else notice that the Oman Elimination Station did not have Michael and Kevin. They arrived at on the Russia ES but were not there for Gary and Mallory's phone call nor for the fish cooking expedition later.

Just wondered if anyone knew why.

Could they have been pulled back in to run as additional decoys? Just a thought -

It is possible that what we saw after Oman was actually filmed before Kevin and Michael arrived. If Gary and Mallory were eliminated a day after Kevin and Michael, they might have called while Kevin and Michael were making their way across half the world.

On my favorite sports show on espn (pardon the interruption) they were having a segment wth the turkeys of the year, showing different crzy things in sports. They saved the Claire watermelon to the face to end the segment.
