I like that so far, none of the food has tried to crawl back out of the racer's mouths this year, like the chopped octopus a few shows ago. So far, I could have eaten (slowly) what they ate. Blood, eh, just shut my eyes.
I like that people are not comfortable using the yield because it can have its's consequences.
I like the varied experiences (always like that) of emotional, physical, testing of the senses with smell, taste and hearing in addition to sight.
I like seeing when someone gets surprised by themselves - this year the racers seem both more and less in shape to compete. The strongest does not seem to be the brightest, etc. Each person has flaws to hold them back.

What I would really like is if tonight the couples get a task to fulfill and Jonathan decides that with his entrepeneurial skills only he is qualified to do it. He botches it up that not only do they come in last but they come in a day late and it is bye bye Jonathan. Our last image is of Victoria screaming at Jonathan like a lunatic and throwing her knapsack at him to carry.

That is what I would like.

I like seeing the island of Corsica from the viewpoint of a small plane - what a beautiful place!

Maris, could we add Jonathan crying hysterically into your scenario?

Yes crying hysterically, or maybe even holding on to Phil's knees and last we see is the Producer trying to unlock his hands. Victoria of course is bawling and screaming at him.

Can I repeat that I will love TAR tonight if Jonathan goes bawling into the sunset.

I sometimes think the producers of TAR do not realize what they have. Their show is so unique compared to other reality shows. The Virgin airline guy tried to take some ideas from the show and use them. I think his name is Branson. Didnt Work!!! The producers of TAR do not realize or sometimes forget they do not need some of these crazy, outlandish teams they came up with for TAR6. Keep it simple!! There is no one that can touch this show. Its the best and so unique !! They have always had a couple of teams whose personalities stood out but they did not to this extent. They were not screaming at the top of their lungs all the time. I have to say some of my faves were the Guidos (klutzy), & the Cha Chas (I dont think that is the right name). They were hilarious. I did like Charla/Mirna and Chip/ Kim. Even though Chip/Kim are nice and sweet, I dont think I could handle too much of that. I think that is why I dont care for Jon/Kris. I would like teams that are right down the middle. Dont mind them getting stressed, but need that happy side too. Some of the teams on TAR6 seem plain NUTS.

I like seeing parts of the world I won't ever get to visit, and seeing how folks live there, so on this TAR, I liked Iceland especially, and everywhere else too, for that matter.
Tonight, I adored that the screamers were eliminated.

Will they ever put the other seasons of TAR on DVD? You all have piqued my curiosity to the point thaat I want to know who the Cha Chas and the Guidos and Flo are!!! I just checked amazon and they have an e-mail sign up so they can let the people who make the DVDs know how many people are wanting a copy.

Roxip: I hope you sometime get the chance to watch TAR's early seasons. They were so exciting and entertaining! And you really have to see some of those teams in action to fully "appreciate" (funny word for some of them, LOL) them.

Sometimes episodes (early) of the Amazing Race are on the inflight entertainment.

Buying a DVD would be cheaper.

I wish that the TAR reruns would be on the travel channel or the Gameshow network or SOMETHING!

Update for Roxip: TAR1 (that's the one with the Guidos and Kevin & Drew) is supposed to be coming to DVD. Rumor is the set will be released on June 7th but there hasn't been an official announcement yet.

By the way, can't wait to see Dr. Phil tonight - it looked from his promos on his show yesterday that he really gives Jonathan some major grief, chastizing him about "coaching" Victoria under his breath while they were being interviewed by Dr. Phil. Should be interesting.

Of course Jonathan won't take personal responsibility because he will be too busy trying to convince Dr. Phil that he was "helping" Victoria.

I think Victoria is the one who needs to get a clue.
