Ah Dang! I knew I shouldn't have peeped here! My sister (hooked since TAR1, plus talked ME into getting hooked) and great nephew (age 11-hooked too) are up visiting from AZ. They headed off before showtime camping last Tues and I TAPED it! I have been so good and righteous! NOT gonna even watch it until they are back (in a couple more days, how's THAT for will power for you?). I've been salivating, petting that VCR Tape, but NO! Holding FIRM! (altho I do confess, when rewinding the tape I just stumbled onto one tiny little pop "A & D, so sorry you're the last to arrive." And I disliked Ali so BAD for the whole of BB, kind of thought she might actually win here <sweating emoticon> I knew I shouldn't read this thread, just KNEW it! Ahhhh, what the heck! I'm off to watch it now! Then I can just put duct tape over my mouth when sis and nephew get back so I don't spill any of the beans. It might be painful.

DH and I are really looking forward to the rest of the searson. No Ali and Donny and no Dennis and Erika. Based on the first two episodes, they seemed to be the only two couples that put each other down most of the time. There is NEVER any reason to verbally slam your SO in front of others, especially MILLIONS of viewers! We have a couple teams we're really rooting for, but at this point any of the remaining teams could win and we'd be happy!

wow, that tv guide interview was really something. i just never saw any affection between them, except for the opening whenthey actually stood next to each other. i really hope for donny's sake he learns a huge lesson and stays away from her. let her grow up a little (a lot actually).

Actually, I think Donnie is equally in need of some growing up--and maybe some counseling to figure out why he keeps taking this girl back when she keeps doing things so blatantly disrespectful to their "relationship."

LOL at Biscottii! I know how you feel when someone won't hurry up and WATCH THE DARNED TAPE so you can discuss it with them.

How did you make out, Biscottit? BabyJ, I think you're on to something. Donny needs some counseling for sure. Otherwise he's going to develop horrible habbits, like cheating but thinking he's entitled to, or mistreating people around him because that's the only way he knows to handle relationships. Non of my business, I just feel bad for such a good looking young person with portaintials.

It was great seeing A & D get the boot, Alison's not even a decent 'villainess' by TAR standards. Now I think the team I'll love to loathe are the Texas Pizza Boys. They're the opposite of those very likeable Frat Boys (Drew & Kevin) and those longtime pals, The Clowns. They're already rude to 'foreigners' not seeing they are the foreign aspect themselves racing through other countries? Too bad they're not as amusing as they think they are.. The whole Alison Twist was a bust, cheap stab at getting ratings by a show that doesn't need them that much. Alison's forte would be The Mole.. Not her being the mole, but to mislead others as she did playing BB. She'd win for sure..

quote:I'm a good example of that.
I'm the opposite. I started watching last year, but refused to watch this year after hearing Alison and Donny were on. Now that they're gone, I'll be watching again. (That's the problem with generalizations...they're never true. )

I don't think "I'm an example of that" is a generalization. It is an example, isn't it? Each person has their own right to like or dislike a character. I have just always been too lazy to watch TAR, but I started getting interested in it (I'm such a reality show nerd) when Clay Aiken said that was the reality show he originally wanted to be on, and then when the Allison/Donny thing came up I decided I didn't have anything better to do with that hour of my life (since I was going to watch BB anyway) so I started watching it. Besides, it gives me another thing to read on TVC, doesn't it?

The generalization was in the post above yours...
quote:Alison is reality TV show gold. People love to hate her. They tune in just so they can find more things mean to say about her.
You are an example that supports the generalization; I am the example that doesn't.

Costacat, you heard that in ET, right? We got the scoop here. read up there for a c&p from tvguid on line exclusive. They broke up way before they saw the epi aired.

Yeah, I caught that on ET. ET had the facts totally wrong, but it made a good sound bite.

I wish they'd stay together instead of making two more people miserable.

Are Allison & Donny still broken up? Won't that be an uncomfy situation to be there meeting the winner and the remaining final 3?

I'd completely forgotten about Alison and Donny!! If it's like previous show finales, all we see of the already eliminated couples is them cheering on the winners at the finish line, so I guess even A&D could do that without fighting too much. Didn't they win a Mexican cruise or something? I wonder how that went!

I read (can't even remember where) that Alison wasn't even AT The finale! Donny went but they had a 'stand in' for Alison. Notice...no closeups of those two? Sounded like when they left Phil after beling eliminated, they went their separate ways immediately.

If I ever have to see Alison on tv again it will be too soon.That Donnie was a babe hope he finds a nice girl up at Blooomsburg University in Bloomsburg,PA. Nice town, as I used to live in that area.

I didn't watch AR. Can someone tell me about what happened with Donnie and Ali? Some kind of big fight Itake it? She humiliated him maybe?

Mom, I don't remember everything exactly, but here goes... Allison essentially called Donnie an idiot over and over in everyway possible. At one point after getting far behind, she even told him something like "I knew I shouldn't let you think". She ridiculed him in front of other racers, screamed at him in the street, and other stuff like that. It wasn't a very happy race for them. I think the term "spoiled princess" sums it up pretty good

Mom and Freckled...just wanted to add one thing. When they were eliminated, Donnie said he hated Alison (on camera)at the end of that episode.

Good point, Happy. Donnie was annoying too but I didn't have to watch him on BB so my dislike for Allison blurs my venom...lol.

Oh...I was just adding a fact. I can't remember much at all about Donnie on TAR. I cannot stand Alison, her treatment of people on BB and of Donnie on TAR was just awful! She is probably my least fav. reality show person ever.

I thought Donny treated Alison just as bad as she treated him. That was a two way relationship - and they BOTH acted terribly!

In this years post BB party..Allison was asked if she showed up for the finale of Amazing Race..she said no..they had a stand in for her with Donnie and that no she never talks to Jun, who beat her in BB...appears to be quite a sore loser.

I read that post - she didn't say they had a stand in for her. She just said she wasn't there. The person she was speaking to said the thing about the stand in. I have no idea why she said that - my only thought was perhaps she thought she was still under the confidentiality agreement - or perhaps she misunderstood what event was being discussed. I think this is getting spun into something much bigger than what the conversation contained.

What Gina said. Also, Colin/Christie have confirmed that Alison was at the finish line. Perhaps she didn't understand the question or thought they meant a viewing party. I have no doubt she was at the finish line.
