Ocean_Islands | Wednesday, September 19, 2001 - 08:27 pm   Wasn't it satisfying that those two selfish girls got eliminated? I was praying the black couple would make it. They went through hell to get there! |
Kahlua | Wednesday, September 19, 2001 - 08:56 pm   I was so glad when they lost - they were the worst! Although, I have to say, the one chick was really mean to her boyfried - Lenny? - when he had problems finding the Arc de Triomphe. She made him feel about 2 inches tall - shame on her. You shouldn't do that to anyone, let alone someone you claim to love. |
Fflur | Wednesday, September 19, 2001 - 09:09 pm   Ocean Islands...I agree I too was cheering when the two teachers were eliminated. They were rude on more than one time. Then in the end they said that they should have been nicer to other teams and made alliances! Too little to late. |
Egic | Wednesday, September 19, 2001 - 10:28 pm   I agree, they did not deserve to come anywhere but last. And who in their right mind argues with a taxi driver over a few francs in the middle of a race. |
Kstme | Wednesday, September 19, 2001 - 11:16 pm   I love this show...just like an old time movie...boooooo, hisssssss, cheerrrrr...it's got it ALL! And...shame, shame on those "nice" teachers! I have so many favorites, it's hard to root for just one set!! I laughed so hard...a good deversion this evening! |
Guinevere | Wednesday, September 19, 2001 - 11:55 pm   The only reason I was sorry to see the teachers go was that I won't have them to boo at next week. I really wanted to have Paul and Amie on hand to say "buh-bye!". Amie is a bit of a word you can't say here, but I can't help it, I like her (they are funny as a couple. too). Karen (is that her name?) was so mean to Lenny, I felt really sorry for him. So glad they made it - hope he made her feel guilty for running him down like that. |
Max | Wednesday, September 19, 2001 - 11:57 pm   I was glad they got the boot, too. Some example for their students! I felt sorry for Lenny, too. Wonder if they stayed together after the show? |
Voyeur | Thursday, September 20, 2001 - 01:58 am   I don't know if they ended up losing because they argued with the taxi driver about the fare, but the editting sure made it look that way. I too was very satisfied to see them come in last. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, September 20, 2001 - 05:37 am   Well, I don't feel sorry for Lenny! I was flabbergasted at his inability to just stay put until he saw the flag. And 2 trips to the top at that! (the 3rd was later) He asked a local what were considered monuments and he answered the Louvere and Notre Dam. So he just decided to go to Notre Dam without even checking the roof for a flag! What was he thinking?! I would have been furious too. He does not seem very bright. The couple I wanted to lose: Man with blue jacket that kicked the Eiffel tower and angry woman in tears. They fought the entire show. |
Skipper | Thursday, September 20, 2001 - 06:13 am   Is there an official CBS web site for this show? I'll go look. I'd like to learn the names of folks. I was thrilled when the two teachers lost.... somebody had to - why not them!!!! If my hubby and I were doing this - I can see that we would be the arguing couple !!!!!!!! Me in tears constantly! I'm hoping for the older couple and the mother/daughter. Rosie O'Donnell loves this show, wonder if she'll mention it today with all that's going on??? |
Sukii1 | Thursday, September 20, 2001 - 06:28 am   Fruitbat, I totally agree with hoping that the guy who kicked the Eiffel tower and his g/f/wife/whatever she is, would be kicked off. He's a giant powder keg waiting to go off, and I bet we see it at least once somewhere during the show. He's got a nasty temper, and it comes out in infantile behavior..lol. His g/f is no better, she's rude and obnoxious to the point of ignorance. (Sorry, no offense to the person above who I think said they liked this couple..lol! Just posting my opinion, nothing against those who like this couple I also was proud of the two guys who are best friends (remember the "fat b@stard" statement last time lol) They were in good humor this time, I was impressed at their support of each other. I even wanted to jerk the "mom" back into the car when she was out chasing that darn rhino..lol!! I'm thinking HELLOOOOO, wanna get trampled?? LOL. But I could sure see why she was being stubborn, her daughter can be fairly hateful to her and condescending. I was SOO glad to see the grandparents made it, they worry me about getting left behind. I sure hope they keep plugging along, I like 'em. Lenny and his g/f...I really felt sorry for both of them. He was a dingaling for coming down the first time with no clue where they should go..lol! But she shouldn't have made him feel so terrible, it really showed how horrible he felt. I was exasperated at him for not looking harder for the "monument", but I could tell he was desperate to give her an answer, he figured Notre Dame would work..lol. Team Guido..well what can I say...GO TEAM GUIDO..lol! I like them too, they're very calm and level headed, we'll see if that'll get them thru the race. Sometimes nice people finish last.. Let's see..who's left..ohhhh, Margarite and her exhusband...they were a bit calmer this time, I thought. He wasn't freaking quite so much, although he was so mad at her for the Songwe Museum sign error. As for the two teachers, I think they screwed up too, arguing with the cabbie. They were playing pretty ruthless, snagging the cab from under the 'tempertantrum couple'..lol. Oh, and the two girls who are best friends, they were pretty tame this time, no big emotions from them yet, as far as anger. Ok, that's my two cents  |
Fruitbat | Thursday, September 20, 2001 - 07:03 am   My favorites thus far are team Guido absolutely! I like the lawyers and and the NY guys too. I do not find the mother and daughter team all that compelling. Not sure why. The mother is pushing the "just a little ole housewife" bit too far. Maybe that is it. Margueritte and her volatile husband (seperated couple).....I was very taken back when he yelled and pushed her, actually pounded her on the chest twice in the first episode. It always takes two to complete a dynamic. She does not stand up to this abuse at all. I am not sure about them yet. It is easy to like her and dislike him but she is not exibiting behavior that I revere either. The 2 that got the fast forward....I don't even remember them. Seem OK. I like the older couple but I am not inclined to rave about them yet. Certainly nothing to dislike though. I like Lenny's wife but I am irritated at Lenny. Not very bright and passive. Not a good combo. |
Teddybear | Thursday, September 20, 2001 - 07:20 am   I felt so sorry for Lenny. He probably only came down before actually finding the flag because she was yelling and yelling at him. Poor thing!!! She didnt have to make him cry! |
Rachelinsc | Thursday, September 20, 2001 - 07:37 am   I was SO glad to see the rude teachers making last place. Anyone who has ever waited in line for a cab at an airport knows that NO ONE breaks in line like they did. It was rude to Paul and Amie, and it was rude to everyone else in line. Then arguing with the cab driver over money ... well, my husband and I just sat there and cheered when they came in last. Good riddance. I am sure there will be plenty more villains popping up in the next few episodes. I am pulling for the mother and daughter and for the separated couple (I hope they work things out and get back together). This is SUCH a fun show. |
Fflur | Thursday, September 20, 2001 - 08:30 am   Sukii1, you are so right about the "Mom" she was looking at that big rhino like it was a puppy...I kept yelling, "Get back in the car!" That rhino could have taken her out in a heartbeat, what was she thinking. I too am a team Guido fan and I also like the two lawyers from LA. Team Guido will do well in Paris because they lived there for 2 years and they speak French. The lawyers seem level headed and get along well with each other. The 2 frat brothers...wonderful comic relief! |
Tvduck | Thursday, September 20, 2001 - 08:58 am   I think the mother didn't get back in the car just because her daughter kept yelling at her to do so. I might have missed something but when the two teachers were at the airport, why did they ask for 4 tickets and said they were not with Paul & Amie? And I think they are the only couple who didn't see the flag in Eiffel Tower. That probably caused them a lot of time too. |
Kawtupeking | Thursday, September 20, 2001 - 09:25 am   I really do not like Frank's behaviour towards Margarite or her lack of response. He has verbally and physically abused her several times in the past two shows. I don't understand why she allows this to go on. |
Guinevere | Thursday, September 20, 2001 - 09:36 am   Frank freaks me out a little. He has this aura of violence around him. I'm so not surprised that he and Margarita are estranged. I wasn't liking Team Guido too much last night. I liked them in the first show, but last night they seemed a bit smug. And the way they ditched their "alliance" the moment they realized that the others couldn't help them anymore seemed a bit tasteless. I mean, I know you have to be competitive, but they were just a bit too ruthless for my tastes. Re Lenny being stupid to come down with out having seen the flag: even if that's true, I think his girlfriend should've been more supportive. I guess I empathized with his and Paul's (the guy who was kicking things) frustration. The trying to find things part is what would drive me batty; I'd rather do the physical stuff (and I'm a coward!) anyday. |
Voyeur | Thursday, September 20, 2001 - 09:45 am   I think they need four tickets because they have to fly with their crew who does the video and makes sure they follow the rules (and pays for their airline tickets!). I think Team Guido's decision to punt the alliance will come back to haunt them. Yes, they had the advantage in Paris, but that's not always going to be the case. As for Lenny and Karyn, I'm not sure I wouldn't have been similar. I tend to be a very logical person, and my husband tends to run more on emotion and "feelings" and there have been times when I have been like, "Just what were you thinking?" although I tend to be a bit more diplomatic than Karyn was. |
Kstme | Thursday, September 20, 2001 - 10:02 am   Skipper...here's the site! http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/ |
Realfan | Thursday, September 20, 2001 - 11:39 am   In her defense, though, what was with Lenny coming down and saying he couldn't find it? What did he think was going to happen then? It reminded me of my son, if I send him upstairs to get something--he doesn't look very hard so I have to do it myself. There was no reason to come down if he didn't find the clue. Then, just to please her or end the looking, he made a random guess which wasted a ton of time. I was so glad they didn't come in last, though. I felt sorry for him. What was with those teachers talking the cab driver out of driving the other couple? I understand the couple ran ahead and jumped in the cab without waiting in line, but there were plenty of cabs! It would have been faster to just get another one. And then it seemed like the teacher agreed to pay an extra 30 francs, and then didn't cough it up at the end, and the driver was threatening to turn her into the police? Or am I reading that wrong? Ugly Americans, indeed. |
Realfan | Thursday, September 20, 2001 - 11:45 am   Oh, I thought it was neat that the older couple were smart about asking the villagers where the museum was. Granted, they were leaving later and villagers were more available, but it was the right thing to do. I wish they'd asked someone who didn't give them such crappy directions, though. They were starting to hike out of town, regretting that they hadn't taken their car! |
Llkoolaid | Thursday, September 20, 2001 - 12:04 pm   Does anyone know the name of the guy who kicked the wall at the Eifel Tower and the blankity blank that he is with? I love this show,feel a bit sorry for the older folks, they sure are amazing considering they were able to keep up with much younger people, I hope they manage to stay in for a while, they are so sweet to each other. |

Ocean_Islands | Thursday, September 20, 2001 - 12:09 pm   I forgot to tell you guys what the taxi driver said to those rude girls about the money: "I'm going to get the Police, then!" There is an advantage in speaking French you know! ;) Then they just ran away. I'd like to know what he said then! |
