Ryn | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 09:32 am     In posting all the info I noticed 5 of them listed their occupation as "Model or Actor" So much for "real" people. |
Jasper | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 09:39 am     Yeah, here's hoping one of the "normal" everyday folk wins. So in saying that I will be rooting for Debra/Steve, Dave/Steve and Steve/Josh. All the models, actors and NFL wives will be too busy worrying about getting their best profile facing the camera and these guys will be the ones with the cleans socks! lol. I can't wait for this to start, here's hoping this season will be as entertianing and enjoyable as the last three. |
Crazydog | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 09:54 am     Too many people with similar names. Two Steves, two Jons, a Dave and a David. The people look similar as well. I am disappointed there are not more minority faces. |
Wilsonatmd | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 12:32 pm     Looks like a good cast...I'm looking over the groups, and I'll post an analyis and early predictions soon.... |
Ryn | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 12:46 pm     I am wondering if the term "nfl wives" means their hubbies are players or if they just are making a joke that they take a backseat to football during the NFL season. But looking at one of their backgrounds (former colts cheerleader) maybe they are both married to players, I am sure we will find out soon enough. |
Crazydog | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 12:53 pm     Ryn, I think they are indeed married to NFL players. Wasn't there a spoiler earlier that said they were married to Atlanta Falcons? |
Ryn | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 12:58 pm     I dunno - I don't do 'spoilers' - lol |
Wilsonatmd | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 01:08 pm     that's right crazy....on another board, someone did some digging and found out that Sheree is the wife of Falcon defensive back Ray Buchanan.. |
Lancecrossfire | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 01:56 pm     Wow--and she's still living! |
Ladytex | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 04:46 pm     I am kind of disappointed too at the lack of minority faces, and the two they have are just for show, it seems. On the other hand, I would certainly pay to see the backround scenes from this one, things that happen off camera. They have some real personalities, it seems. |
Wilsonatmd | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 04:49 pm     well here's my early thoughts and predictions (note: FIRST FOUR OUT=12th-9th, MIDDLE OF PACK=7th-5th, TOP FOUR=4th-1st). Millie & Chuck: They've been together for 12 years so that's a plus...but all that UST (Unresolved Sexual Tension).....Will be a sweet, if unremarkable, team. MIDDLE OF PACK Jon and Al:Being clowns might help them keep off the stress of the Race, but will they be able to get serious when needed? Will be the Ken and Gerard of this Race, but won't go as far. MIDDLE OF PACK Russel and Cindy: They've had problems spending a lot of time together....'nuff said, Will wind up in a double digit position. FIRST FOUR OUT Monica and Sheree: I've got a feeling about these two...There's always one team that surprises a lot of people...and I think this is the one. Could even be a suprise winner. TOP FOUR Kelly and Jon: Seem to be a nice couple....and you know the saying about nice people...won't finish last, but close to it. FIRST FOUR OUT Amanda and Chris: Memo to Chris: You really can't backstab people in the Race, it's not that type of game. Will burn the FF early and then flame out. FIRST FOUR OUT Reichen & Chip: The big question with this team; are they gonna be the next team Cha Cha Cha? or the next team Guido? I say Cha Cha Cha....it seems a team everyone loves goes out fourth...this might be the one. TOP FOUR Tian & Jaree: Look nice, and Tian does have the travel experience...but not a serious threat I think. Won't go early, but will go below sixth. MIDDLE OF PACK Debra & Steve: I don't think they were meant for this show....maybe even the first team out. FIRST FOUR OUT David & Jeff: They seem to fit the type of team that won Race 1 and Race 2....so why not Race 4? Could happen.... TOP FOUR Steve & Dave: In stages with flights, they might have connections to help them because they're air traffic controllers....that's a good advantage. Will they run out of steam at the end though? TOP FOUR Steve & Josh: I hope this is one of those experiences that helps them bond....Won't win but should get top six or so. MIDDLE OF PACK Now watch this prediction be completely wrong..... |
Kappy | Monday, May 05, 2003 - 07:20 pm     Good predictions, Wilson, for not having really viewed them yet. I have to admit that I'm a bit disappointed that so many "models" were picked this time around. I guess CBS feels that's what is needed for the ratings. Too bad really because I think most people liked the fact that you didn't have to be a model/slash/actor to get on this show. And for that fact alone, I'm already rooting for Debra and Steve. |
Bladewelder | Wednesday, May 07, 2003 - 09:05 am     Crazydog - There are THREE Steve's!! I'm kind of disappointed there aren't more visible minorities in the group. We shouldn't be surprised though, after all it is the U.S. Notice there are no Middle Easterners?? Now that would be interesting! |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, May 07, 2003 - 09:46 am     i like the clowns, papajosh and debra and steve the best. i look for the falconettes to be out first or second leg. so hoping the clowns give us some giggles along the way! if one of the roadblocks is being shot out of a cannon, they should do real well; as long as the one who does that elects to do the challenge, that is. LOL they have to choose who will do it before they get the specifics, right? it might say, "not be afraid of small confined spaces and going splat if things don't work out right", but not "be wedged into a cylinder shape and shot across a stage at 200 mph whilst being shot from the cannon". |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, May 07, 2003 - 09:52 am     lance, just read your post...LOLOLOLOL |
Geri | Wednesday, May 07, 2003 - 02:04 pm     Here is an article from the Miami Herald. The writer doesn't seem to care for the show. His loss!! South Florida may not do so well on elections and stuff, but we kick butt when it comes to reality TV. CBS unveiled the new contestants for its brainless, er, breathless The Amazing Race 4 Monday, and two out of the 12 teams are from the Miami area, giving us a 16.7 percent shot at winning one of television's most meaningless competitions. This being stunningly realistic television where the contestants are drawn from a true cross-section of our community, three of the four South Florida contestants are models. That would be Tian Kitchen, 30, and Jaree Poteet, 33, both of Miami Beach, on one team, and Miamian Kelly Parks, 30, teaming with her real-estate agent fiancée Jon Corso, 28, on the other. In The Amazing Race, 12 teams spend a month racing around the world, with the winners collecting $1 million. Since the future of the universe pretty much rests on the outcome, here's some stuff you need to know about our teams: • Kelly brags that she's high-strung, obsessive, bossy and silly. (Hard to believe she's taken, huh?) In her defense, the CBS press office adds, ``she gets motion sickness and fears spiders, bees, heights and sharks.'' • Jon has a phobia about fat people, blows off steam by ''having sex,'' and his favorite pastime is ``talking s--- about other people.'' • Tian ''has one of the highest IQs of all contestants,'' according to the crack investigators at the CBS press office, though exactly what that means in the context of reality TV show contestants is not entirely clear. • Jaree was dismayed to learn that her partner Tian, as CBS puts it, ''likes girls.'' Adds the network: ``Jaree got over it, but admits that if Tian ever hit on her, it'd be over between them.'' The Amazing Race 4 debuts with a 90-minute episode on WFOR-CBS 4 on May 29. Consider yourself fairly warned. |

Seamonkey | Friday, May 16, 2003 - 07:00 pm     They do look mighty pale to me. Here are the odds from BoDog: Odds mean nothing right? But here they are from BoDog anyway ... Odds to win The Amazing Race 4 on CBS Odds are to win only. David & Jeff 4/1 Monica & Sheree 4/1 Reichen & Chip 5/1 Amanda & Chris 5/1 Millie & Chuck 6/1 Jon & Al 6/1 Steve & Josh 6/1 Steve & Dave 8/1 Tian & Jaree 8/1 Debra & Steve 10/1 Kelly & Jon 10/1 Russell & Cindy 12/1 |
Grannyg | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 09:42 am     Does anybody remember that Heidi on Survivor had the highest IQ of any of the contestants and she was definitely "blonde"? What do you suppose that means for Tian? |
Tabbyking | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 09:50 am     didn't heidi have dyed hair? |
Tabbyking | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 09:55 am     i look for 'stevra', 'papajosh' and 'chipendale' to do pretty well. the 'falconettes' and 'team ATCO' (air traffic controllers) maybe to the mid-point. 'team bozo' will probably be fun to watch. not sure how i think they will do over-all, but if they are entertaining, i hope they last quite a while. i will have to study them up again before i make picks for on-line games! i am so excited this is almost ready to air!! |
Pamy | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 11:14 am     If this one is like the other races then the 2 most boring or obnoxious people will win. If you all were upset at Jenna's win wait til you see the winner of this(if it is like the previous races) Don't get me wrong, I love this show, but my favs just never win! |
Squaredsc | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 11:59 am     pamy, my favs never win either, but i still love to watch. i actually like this show as much as survivor but more than bb. |
Tabbyking | Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 12:48 pm     last race ending was horrible, because my favorite and least favorite both won...too bad the nice guy has to share with a dip because they are a 'team'. my absolute favorite ending was when frank and margaretta knew they had it won because the end was in queens, where they lived. they had their cab take backstreets, etc. and as they ran up to the finish line, they could hear cheering and then saw the other team already at the end...and you could hear margaretta say in astonishment, "what are THEY doing here?!" 25,000 miles in 30 days. adventures aplenty mad cap dashes and missed connections the look on margaretta's face? priceless! |
Ladytex | Monday, May 26, 2003 - 12:30 pm     Here is a link to a cheat sheet that John at the FORT put together. I think it's cool and will help while watching the show or surfing about it ... TAR4 Cheat Sheet by John |
