Amazing Race 11 Episode 2

OK, if you came over here to see what I thought on Monday, I wasn't here...I missed our appointment and I'm sorry...really. I did watch the show, but if you are reading my other blog you know that I am really working on a project and I just got sidetracked...

Kevin and Drew- I will say that Kevin seems fine, but Drew lost me last week with his fall...apparently he needed oxygen at the pit stop and I am thinking to myself that he just doesn't seem ready to do this race. Some people just aren't cut out for this kind of thing. And Drew is mean...if the flight attendant doesn't move the bags, he should leave them alone. The stuck car scene was hilarious except that I was concerned that Drew was going to hurt Kevin. At the end of the show, well I will just say Drew was consistent to what we had seen of him thus far.

Oswald and Danny-Are these guys gay or not? His manicurist was going to be so mad? I really don't remember much else about them in the show. Manicurist...sheesh.

Uchenna and Joyce-I like Uchenna...I try to like Joyce...I did not understand why Joyce gave the answer at the Road Block to Ian...that seemed really stupid. I loved the look Uchenna gave in the conversation in the car after the Road Block. Not a word about what she was saying, but I thought, "Yeah, he'll probably get a p9inch for that when Joyce sees it on the show. Can Uchenna and Dave be a team?

David and Mary-Mary Mary Mary...don't be such a showoff...you just need to show the security guard your word...you don't have to pronounce it....loudly...for all to hear. And I am surprised that you were surprised that Mirna and Charla passed you...you have no alliances, but as Guitar Hero says, "It's a game...you're not supposed to help each other..."

Charla and Mirna-Charla/Mirna (not sure which one is which...I will pay more attention next week), you have chosen to do the race with a Little Person...she is going to need step stools...she is not going to run as fast as the others...get a grip. And as much as I don't like the Beauty Queens, that outtake from Charla and Mirna about fading beauty and enduring morals and integrity and then the laugh from the BQ was funny...I hated that it was funny but it was.

Rob and Amber-I don't like you. I really think there are very few who do...not because you couldn't win, but because you probably could without all your nonsense. And stop talking...it just makes me like you even less, if that is possible.

Terri and Ian-Want to like you...want the whole police thing to help you...but so far, you don't seem overly perceptive...

Eric and Danielle-I'm sorry....not really paying that much attention to Eric and Danielle yet...I did notice that Danielle is looking pretty..ummmm....natural on the show. She was always kind of put together the first time she was on (look at her pic on the website), but this time...well, I don't know what is happening there. Was this the show where he said everything would be good as long as she did everything he told her to do? It made me hope he would screw up and that she would be right sometime. I am going to look for that.

Joe and Bill-I want to forget you are gay...not like I want you to win, but I just don't want to be reminded. Quit saying it. I don't know who I want to win, but you are targeted for elimination when I am watching the show.

Dustin and Kandice-girls...you are not the center this time...that does make me happy. That whole scene with you and Mirna/Charla was sad. Don't mooch. It is beneath you.

As I look over these people...I don't have affection for any team. I think Uchenna is a good man...if I had to choose now, I guess Uchenna would be my pick for a team to cheer for. But it is still early and I may change my mind...

I'll try to be better next week. Thanks for visiting...

Episode 1

You know, sometimes Big Girl Buffalo cries as though she lost a limb when the truth is that she just fell down with no visible injury...and then later if she cries again I am not so sympathetic...

That will be the case from now on with YOU , Kevin and Drew...all that wincing and crying and your shoulder was FINE. I will always devalue your reactions from this moment forward.

Rob and Amber, I think you are so annoying and thank you John Vito, for speaking for those of us in the world who have really heard and seen enough about Rob and Amber and from them. I have resigned myself to the likelihood that they will be here for the duration, but it will comfort me to the end that there is at least one other person who shares my feeling about those two.

The Beauty Queens....well, as I was watching last night, I thought, "There is so much going on here that I almost forget you are on the show. What a good feeling.

Team Guido...ugh.

Not sure what to think of Danny and Oswald...really best friends? What does "platonic husbands" mean?

Eric and Dani...not a clear sense of them.

Dave and Mary (really Mary) is/are not going to be sweet and with integrity anymore apparently, which moves them down on my list.

The cousins with the little person...I don't know...something about them that makes them not lovable to me...may just be me.

The retired police guy and his wife...not enough info on them either to make a judgement.

Euchena (sp?) and Joyce...I still like them...I liked them the last time. Still wanting that baby...I wonder how old they are?

For now, they will probably be my choice.

Tomorrow...

OK, in my last blog experience I kept everything on the blog...funny, spiritual, ranting...whatever. Then I realized, :I don't have to do that...I can have a blog for anything I want.

So this is my blog to comment on the Amazing Race. And when it is not on, to comment on whatever else...That's why I didn't call it Buffy's Amazing Race Commentary.:-)

Any-hoo, Amazing Race Begins tomorrow...I am so excited...even though I don't really want to see the beauties or Rob and Amber...

CBS has a pretty good site of background info etc about the teams that are on this time...here is the link.

Can't believe Dave and Mary are on again.

As I look at the picture on CBS, the racers look like a rather motley crew.

OK...the fun begins at 7 PM...Hope to comment on Monday.

OH, BTW, there is a site that sometimes has interesting info about Amazing Race...they will have the recap probably on Monday or Tuesday and then the real in-depth article about the show will be on Saturday, usually...it is funny but kind of rough in the language, so read at your own risk, but sometimes they pick up on things that I don't. Again I say, don't read it if language bothers you. Here is the link (to be read at your own risk)

That's really it. See you Monday!
