Yeah. And one of them (the stoic-seeming one) I really liked.

I fucking hate the "engaged couple." they are so evil. all that mole stuff, fuck.

But you gotta have a team you love to hate.

The wife (or fiancee to be precise) I ~~like~~ don't hate, maybe it's just because she's a redhead, but her man is a complete jerkoff. While I did unfortunately laff, when he goosed her on the train he totally was out of bounds, a point that he avoided confronting with his slimy laff.

― Leee (Leee), Friday, 11 July 2003 20:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

They're both slimeballs. At least that's how I see it--smug and mean.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Friday, 11 July 2003 21:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

Oh well.

Go clowns!

― Leee (Leee), Friday, 11 July 2003 21:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah, they seem pretty good-hearted.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Friday, 11 July 2003 21:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

two months pass...

So the show won the best Reality TV award at the Emmys! maybe we'll get another season!

CONGRATULATIONS AMAZING RACE! YOU TRULY ARE "AMAZING"!

still, not as good as the Mole. Which can only be properly hosted by Anderson Cooper, the man with two last names.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 22 September 2003 13:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

OK! Applications are being accepted for next season. WHO WANNA BE MY PARTNER AND WIN A MILLION BUCKS!?!?!

― phil-two (phil-two), Monday, 22 September 2003 13:45 (twenty-one years ago) link

Are Canadians allowed?

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 22 September 2003 13:45 (twenty-one years ago) link

reading upthread, I noticed that after the clowns were ousted, nobody much cared, huh?

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 22 September 2003 14:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

No Canadians, sorry.

― phil-two (phil-two), Monday, 22 September 2003 14:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

I liked the clowns! They had good hearts.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Monday, 22 September 2003 14:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

OK I just scrolled up and realized I said the exact same thing about them two months ago.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Monday, 22 September 2003 14:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

I smell a statscock whore...

― phil-two (phil-two), Monday, 22 September 2003 14:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

Put that as your occupation on the application form. That way when you're onscreen it'll say "Statscock Whore" under your name.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Monday, 22 September 2003 14:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

Phil-Two
Statscock Whore, Delaware

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 22 September 2003 14:31 (twenty-one years ago) link

PS, I didn't mean that nobody cared about the clowns, just the opposite. After they left, there wasn't much to cheer for.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 22 September 2003 14:34 (twenty-one years ago) link

Delaware? :(

― phil-two (phil-two), Monday, 22 September 2003 14:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

I don't know where you're from (I just can't keep track), but Delaware seems to fit nice beside Statscock Whore.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 22 September 2003 14:58 (twenty-one years ago) link

Phil, me and you, we'll be the Asian Odd Couple.

― Leee (Leee), Monday, 22 September 2003 19:31 (twenty-one years ago) link

If you wear coordinated glitter shirts, I'll cheer for you!

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 22 September 2003 19:33 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'm going to practice balancing things on my nose!

― Leee (Leee), Monday, 22 September 2003 19:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hey I'm pretty good. So far, I can balance a glitter shirt.

― Leee (Leee), Monday, 22 September 2003 19:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

ten months pass...

I know I'm probably alone here, but it's still the best and i'm still watching. 3 shows in South America! That's a record, i think. Caviar, a dwarf, Christian models. What's not to like? No gay couple though!

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 30 July 2004 12:13 (twenty years ago) link

im watching. i hate the dwarf.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Friday, 30 July 2004 12:16 (twenty years ago) link

Emergencia! Need doctor-o!

― Maria D. (Maria D.), Friday, 30 July 2004 12:17 (twenty years ago) link

Now they have adopted a russian accent. I was hoping one of the ruski's would have fired a 99 mph slapshot at her gullet.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Friday, 30 July 2004 12:19 (twenty years ago) link

She brought it on herself. She went out of her way to say on the first show that she was gonna disprove stereotypes about little people and that they could do anything and then proceeded to play the helpless little person card over and over again. She's shameless!

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 30 July 2004 12:20 (twenty years ago) link

and her fuxxoring friend mirna, ugh. she reminds me of my friends wife. end-o

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Friday, 30 July 2004 12:20 (twenty years ago) link

I agree with all of the comments made so far. I hate the dwarf too, but think that Mirna is far more useless than she is. And incredibly annoying.
I also hate how Brandon seems to throw his sexism on God's lap, as if God if forcing him to ignore his girlfriend. And like Scott, I was sad to see the lack of gay couple on this series as well.

― Jonathan (Jonathan), Friday, 30 July 2004 13:11 (twenty years ago) link

No clowns, either. :(
And Major Dad and Hot Daughter have alrady been eliminated. :( :(

― The Dreaded Rear Admiral (Leee), Friday, 30 July 2004 20:03 (twenty years ago) link

Cool twist!

Anyone else indie-crushing on the Twins?

― The Dreaded Rear Admiral (Leee), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 04:58 (twenty years ago) link

Brandon is also completely useless.

― The Dreaded Rear Admiral (Leee), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 05:02 (twenty years ago) link

Anyone else indie-crushing on the Twins?
If you're into really annoying and bitchy women, then I could see liking them. But I just think they've been nasty, annoying and kinda stupid from the beginning.

― Jonathan (Jonathan), Thursday, 5 August 2004 16:50 (twenty years ago) link

Charla and Mirna are COMEDY GOLD.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 5 August 2004 17:14 (twenty years ago) link

The logic of shouting "Bellissimo!" to people in Russia still escapes me.

― Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Thursday, 5 August 2004 17:28 (twenty years ago) link

"MUY RAPIDO, POR FAVOR! RAPIDO, PLEASE!"

― St. Nicholas (Nick A.), Thursday, 5 August 2004 17:29 (twenty years ago) link

Mirna has made me cry with laughter in every episode broadcast.

"Charla, this 150 pound slab of meat is HEAVY! Can you put it on your head?"

"An eating contest! Charla, you do it."

"Did someone just call me a bitch?"

Colin is also fantastically funny in how incredibly mean he is towards Christie.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 5 August 2004 17:31 (twenty years ago) link

I think Colin and Mirna are going to have a major throw-down in the next episode, should be entertaining.

― Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Thursday, 5 August 2004 17:32 (twenty years ago) link

"JUST EAT THE DAMN CAVIAR OR WE'RE GOING TO LOSE THE RACE!!!!"
"Look, just stop talking; you get very tense when you're stressed and it makes people uncomfortable."

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 5 August 2004 17:34 (twenty years ago) link

"The logic of shouting "Bellissimo!" to people in Russia still escapes me."

Hahahaha!! That was a hilarious moment. It was as close as she could get to Russian, I guess.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 5 August 2004 17:36 (twenty years ago) link

RUN FASTER, CHARLA!!!!

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 5 August 2004 17:37 (twenty years ago) link

I'm pretty sure she's running as fast as she can.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 5 August 2004 17:37 (twenty years ago) link

Especially since she's invariably carrying both backpacks and towing a tractor trailer.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 5 August 2004 17:38 (twenty years ago) link

Ha Ha!!

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 5 August 2004 17:39 (twenty years ago) link

It's kinda like last year when that one model had to literally carry the other model around the world on her back. It was excruciating.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 5 August 2004 17:40 (twenty years ago) link

Was anyone else disturbed by how Christie, Nickie and KAMIKARLI reacted to the caviar challenge? Since when does eating a large amount of food put you into an "i'm so cold" trauma coma?

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 5 August 2004 17:45 (twenty years ago) link

I heart Mirna and Schmirna.

― morris pavilion (samjeff), Thursday, 5 August 2004 17:47 (twenty years ago) link

The jet-lag of being on a plane for 20 hours plus the high fat and sodium content could make somebody sick -- it worked out to 2+ pounds of caviar.
