Well I'm slowly testing the waters. I'm new this whole process and have posted a couple of comments in the Apprentice Forum. Thought I'd just go ahead and dive right in and try our this one as well. I just love, love, love the Amazing Race (well most reality shows anyway). My friends get a kick out of it but of course I don't have anyone to talk to about just how extreme the people on these shows can be.

Well, welcome aboard, Tallen. I've read your comments in the Apprentice Forum. Any and all viewpoints and observations are as welcome as you are. The Amazing Race is my number one favorite, although I do 'dabble' in other reality shows, much to my husband's chagrin (he's more of a PBS kind of guy!) LOL At any rate, post away!

After a show, I'll mention to a friend or co-worker "did you see so and so on that reality show? Can you believe what they do?" Of course everyone responds - no, don't watch that show, sort of heard about the program but haven't watched. It's so frustrating when something really juicy happends and you have no one to bounce your thoughts off of. I have to say, that I've been lurking for awhile and since I'm on the west coast, I check out all those posters on the east coast. Love getting the inside scoop.

Nice to meet the De-Lurked Tallen!!! I tend to post a lot over here and in other threads, but I tend to lurk in the Big Brother thread because I feel very inadequate in the posting department compared to the other Big Brother fans. Fortunately for me, there are soooooo many people in my office that watch reality TV, I'm never without someone to chat about a TV show.

thanks everyone for the kind welcome to the boards. I'm looking forward to interacting and having a dialog with other diehard AR fans. So for those East Coasters, has it started yet? I'm dying to know the deal on the "to be continued". It looks like the ads show someone getting a buzz cut. I'm trying to think of any of the women that would go for a bald "job" but I personally think they all wouldn't do it.

I can't spoil because I would probably screw it up and have a final winner for the entire Race by the end of the night.

Julieboo - darn, there goes my whole S&M topic. I guess I'll have to come up with something new to talk about;) I have to say that I'm loving this year's AR. I've watched every season but this one is just so much fun. During Survivor I wasn't a big fan of Romber but they are just such a kick to watch this year - and to see how others react to them.

Lucknow, India - Rob/Amber on the roof with Phil. Phil hands them the next clue. Amber, "Oh Phil." Lucknow Trainstation - board and wait to recieve next clue. Board the train at the end of platform #2. Ron/Kelly arrive and get their clue from Phil. Uch/Joy are right behind. All heading across the street to the train station. Lynn/Alex arrive next and Lynn says they are freaking out that this leg is not over yet and it's been going on for days and days. Gret/Mere finishing up their tea and off to Phil and the mat. Rob/Amber arrive at trainstation with others right behind. Mere/Gret making their way to Phil, they say the people of India have just been so nice. All other teams looking for platform #2 as Mere/Gret finally arrive at Phil. They get the clue and head off. Phil asks if they are a little shocked and Gret says, "Oh my gosh." Mere says they were so joyful they weren't last and could continue on... Ahh, the train doesn't board until 9PM. Rob/Amber are bummed that everyone will now catch up... They now have lots of time to wait for it. Platform #2 - boarding time. Lynn/Alex say they have a loose alliance with Joy/Uch and Mere/Gret. Meanwhile Joyce tells us that Rob/Amb and Ron/Kelly are sticking together but that it'sprobably not gonna last long with the way Rob/Amber are.... Everyone is getting their clue now - being woken up by the guy handing it to them. Search for your next at (insert name I didn't hear here) trainstation. They'll arrive at 10-11PM the NEXT night. We see the teams relaxing on the train. Ron/Kelly talking with Rob/Amber - Ron says that Rob is humorous and Amber is really sweet. Jodhpur! Trainstation - they finally arrive and now searching for their clue. Rob/Amber find it first. Make their awy 1 mile to Sardar Market to find next clue=. Other finding their clues now... Now looking for the next and looking for a taxi. Rob/Amber trying to decide what will be the fastest way to go... They arrive at the market but it is closed until morning. They go across the street to a hotel - Rob is asking a guy if he knows the city very well and he says yes... Rob gets his promise to go with them at 9AM in the morning. Mere/Gret and Uch/Joy watching something happening in the square...oh a wedding. Lynn/Alex are actually down there dancing with the men. Morning time... everyone heading over to the market now. Rob says they want to make sure Ron/Kelly don't steal the guide because Rob/Amber want to win. Everyone heading up the tower and getting the next clue. Fast Forward.... 2nd of only 2. Must go 10 1/2 miles and must do tradition... shave their heads. Once both are bald - they will get the fast forward. DETOUR: Trunk - choose an elephant and transport it 1/2 mile to temple. It's physically demanding but with the help of locals they can finish first. DUNK: Die white sheets - once dye takes you can read the clue but it only appears on one sheet so it could be any of the sheets in the basket. Gret/Mere doing the elephants I think. Uch/Joy are going to the fast forward. Lynn/Alex get a taxi but not sure what they are doing...the fast forward or one of the tasks. Ron/Kelly are doing the elephants as are Rob/Amber. Mere/Gret now getting up on their elephants. Lynn/Alex were going to do fast forward but change their mind and decide to do the elephants instead. There is some confusion about the elephants and whether they have to ride in it or not. Gret is in it but Amber says the clue does not say she has to get in it.. (Ok, they aren't real elephants - I think they are wooden elephants but we were told they weigh like 600 pounds.) Lynn/Alex arrive at the elephants and one of them wants to ride in it. Gret now realizes she does NOT have to ride in it. Gret is getting frustrated as Lynn/Alex pass them... Gret says, "We have a bad elephant Meredith, we have a bad elephant!"

Gretchen's voice annoys me more each week. It is just so piercing as she is hollering nearly non-stop in the elephant basket. She's hollering "Push" to Mer and a bunch of little children while she rides in the basket. Push Gretchen, Push!

LOL, well I missed who said "bad elephant".. See? I was right that they wouldn't get out of India without a long train trip! Interesting that Ron said something good about Rob and Amber, too.
