Amazing Race: Belgium Waffles & Pigeons

After a couple of awesome legs, this one wasn’t very exciting. It was fun to watch the racing, but the rest of the tasks were pretty blah. I do wish they made a show with the first Belgian instructor guy. His deadpan delivery killed me. I could watch him...

Amazing Race: Tangerine Speedo

While I enjoyed most of the episode, I was a bit frightened by the tangerine Speedos that were shown near the end of the leg. It also made me think of the random song by Caviar, Mr. Tangerine Speedo. Since there is no official video, I decided the fan-made...

Amazing Race: OMG Bunnies!

This was an entertaining leg where teams actually used the U-Turn correctly, got to dress in funny outfits while dancing, and race bunnies. What’s not to love?...

Amazing Race: Awesome Hair

The show tried to be exciting with a double u-turn but all the contestants wasted it. There was a fairly exciting race to the finish line though, but what I found to be the best part of the entire episode was the guy’s hair at the pit stop. Look...

Amazing Race: I’m in Jail!

Seriously? Another non-elimination leg? I know they typically have three a season, but they seem to be so bunched up here that it is just getting ridiculous at this point. Before we get to that though, let’s go to Africa where we learn that tobacco workers are very happy...

Amazing Race: Elephants!

What we learned in this leg, besides that it was extremely confusing once everyone got to Bangkok, was that the twins love elephants so freaking much that they even love elephant poop. Sadly, the show decided to not to play “One Night in Bangkok” even once during the episode,...

Amazing Race: Twins are Slow

In this leg of the race, we learn that ocean currents are super strong, wind is evil and the twins are really slow at every task they have. We also learned that even if you think you have experience in something, it does not give you an advantage. Just...

Amazing Race: Cathi Falls Down a Lot

This leg of the race, teams stayed in Indonesia to do some bike riding,they did some field work involving planting rice seedlings and herding sheep, and then roamed around a huge temple. What we really learned though is that it is tough to walk through a rice field as...

Amazing Race: Learn to Read

Teams were thrown for a loop when they found out this leg would be a double elimination. One team even said they wondered what other twists were coming their way. Too bad they didn’t pay attention when one did and tripped them up.  Teams were supposed to give all...

Amazing Race: Twitter Saves Day

During the start of a new season, one team tried to lose their passport before the race even began, but no worries since Twitter saved the day! What is really important here though is the crazy blue statue at the airport. What is that?!?...
