So.

[apocalypsos]

It appears that once again, I'm rooting for a team and a half.

Can Tammy and Victor take in Cara? They're the only ones I don't have problems with right now. (Margie and Luke and Kisha and Jen blew those fights WAY out of proportion, and Jaime is ... well, Jaime. "I hate people who don't speak English! I think I'll go on the Amazing Race!" Seriously?!)

It's possible that I like Tammy and Victor best right now because they've spent the last few episodes in a country where they speak the language and therefore have been in a fantastic mood because of it. Not that I'm complaining.

If my brother and I went on this show, he'd totally be the one eating the bugs and things. I mean, I wouldn't have a problem doing it, but he's the bottomless pit who kept shoveling ice cream down his gullet while I couldn't stop puking due to motion sickness and dehydration the last time we went to an amusement park.

I tried to take a nap before so I can stay up and finish the chapter I'm working and my mom called ten minutes into it to tell me she got her Mother's Day gift in the mail yesterday. Which is great, and I left her a message before because I was curious if she had gotten it yet, but oh, MAN. *whimpers*

Tammy and Victor did get lucky getting so many legs in China, but honestly, they had to kick a significant amount of butt to get to China, and they did it cheerfully, with only one meltdown. So that's why I like them best, and am totally rooting for them.

I think there should be a spot on the Race where two teams are forced to split up and change partners -- leaving us with Kisha and Cara vs. Jaime and Jen. And then we could boot Jamie and Jen and keep their more pleasant halves. :)

That, too. They got their bad behavior out of the way all the way back in Romania and ever since then they've been totally kickass. :)

Kisha and Cara is a team I could absolutely get behind. And that would be an awesome twist, too -- "The next two teams to reach the Fork In The Road have to switch partners for the rest of this leg of the race ..."

Bitch, I is looking fr you.

Victor and Tammy remind me too much of Nick and Star for me to root for them. Most of the similarities are only on the surface, but still. *shudders*

I've like Tammy and Victor since, as you said, they got over their issues in Romania. Although the producers coudln't have known they'd even make it to the China legs, I think that it's a bit of an unfair advantage having three legs in a country of which they speak the native language(and one certainly much more difficult to learn/pronounce than latin based languages). Speaking Mandarin in the first two China legs didn't give them that much of a boost because the challenges were based on athleticism and teamwork more so than language. But clearly it helped them in this leg where one of the challenge options was to speak Mandarin and that's pretty much it.

But I like them the best, so I don't really mind, ultimately. :) If it did really bother me, where it gave an advantage to say, Jaime... then I'd say that maybe they should organize the race so that one team doesn't have a member that speaks an uncommon language (in the United States, that is, since Mandarin is statistically one of the most spoken languages in the world, or the most spoken, I can't remember) for more than one leg of the race.

Also, I'd pee my pants for a million dollars. Especially since it's at the pit stop and I imagine I could change right afterward. Kisha is much more understanding than I would have been... I'd be yelling at her to just pee her pants on the mat on top of Phil's shoes if it meant a one in third chance we could split a million dollars.

My sister was saying that the whole time they kept talking about how much she needed to pee. "I'd just pee myself. Look at what she's wearing. No one would even notice!"

heh. all I know is last night when Phil was saying 'and you guys could be the first all women team to win!' all I could think was 'no Phil, please don't.'. When consideering a whole 'representing all women teams' option, and them, all I can think is DO NOT WANT.

Switching it up and giving me a Kisha & Cara team and getting rid of the other two? Then I could get behind that. But otherwise? ugh.

I know, right? I know they really want an all-female winning team as much as the audience does, but I don't think Jaime deserves a half a million dollars for completely lacking patience or common courtesy.

Cara ate those delicacies like a CHAMP. I really wanted Jaime to shut up while she was doing it. It was sort of amazing to watch, wasn't it?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Definitely, especially considering Jen was standing right next to her tearing her bugs and things into tiny wee little bite-size bits. I was screaming at my screen at that point, "DOWN THE FUCKING THINGS!" Taking those little bites only makes it last longer. Bugs are meant to be eaten like shots of tequila. You don't nurse them. Sheesh.
