apocalypsosI don't like that shirt on Phil.
"Let's go to the hotel"? Oh, Kendra ... you stupid, stupid moron. And Victoria isn't much better with her "oh, I don't like anybody yelling at me, but it's okay because that's Jonathan".
Yay, it's neat hearing Gus talk about spies using Checkpoint Charlie when he used to work for the CIA.
That's the second time Asshat and Other Asshat have mistaken a red light for green. Are they sure they're not colorblind?
"They're such spazzes." HA!
Okay, when Kris says you need counseling in a very serious tone, that's not good.
"I'm ready to go home." Oh, Adam, you great big weenie. If you win, I'll be rolling my eyes. ("You're not doing it, pussy boy!" Okay, sometimes, I love Rebecca.)
"What if the rope goes around your neck?" Well, then, Victoria, we know you're in a better place.
Ooo, a castle. (Then again, those cars! Bwah! I love them.)
I think I'd do the bunjee as long they triple-checked everything, and I'm terrified of heights.
Kris thinks the bunjee is going to be fun. Huh. Something new and different from her. *g*
You know what I've noticed? That aside from Jonathan and Victoria, the other teams get along pretty well with each other for the most part ... you know, aside from that fight between Hayden/Aaron and Lori/Bolo.
Gus/Hera got the tickets Jonathan/Victoria were trying for. Hahahaha. (How was it possible they got your tickets, Victoria? Hmm. Maybe it's karma biting you guys on the ass.)
"You made us lose the race." Oh, Jonathan, fuck off. The only person who is making you two lose the race is YOU.
Okay, who else expects Bolo to pick his car up and run it back and forth on the road to rev it up?
These are officially the ugliest cars on the planet. *snerk*
If you don't stop saying you're in last place, Jonathan, I'm going to develop telekinesis specifically to hit you with something heavy.
Yay, a good idea from slow-and-steady Gus -- just baby the car and drive gentle.
Jonathan and Victoria just got pulled over by cops. I AM SO FUCKING HAPPY RIGHT NOW. Except for the part where he got them to take them right to the castle. Fuck.
Hee. The Hungarians are laughing at Gus and Hera.
If I'm not mistaken, the Internet cafe is the official advertising portion of tonight's episode. ;)
Okay, Jonathan seriously needs to get the hell over the plane tickets. "I hope Jonathan gets eliminated. He's really becoming a pain in the ass." Ha. Love Gus. Lovelovelove.
Aw. God, I love Kris and Jon. They were holding hands! *swoon* Why they're not both followed by happily singing woodlands creatures, I'll never know.
As scary as Gus without a shirt on can be, I'd rather see him shirtless with his bigger-than-mine mits than Jonathan.
Jonathan got kicked out of the cab. Again ... I AM SO FUCKING HAPPY RIGHT NOW.
Oh, come on, hurry up, Lori and Bolo.
7:23 a.m? Aw, fuck.
TO BE CONTINUED?! When the hell did they start this happy horseshit?! *temper tantrum*
Next time: Rebecca realizes Adam is an ass. Victoria realizes Jonathan is an ass. Freddy is an ass as much as someone can be while wearing Buddy Holly glasses.
EDIT: This episode just perfectly exemplifies why I loathe Jonathan. It's a race only he is running, and here's this blond, whiny load who's making him lose. He doesn't do anything to make them go further back in the race -- it's always Victoria or Gus or the taxi driver or some poor schmuck selling airline tickets in Berlin. And maybe telling whoever is pissing him off at the moment might not accomplish anything solid, but it will obviously make them understand that they have done something terrible to him and they immediately need to rectify what they've done to make him go further behind by bending over backwards to kiss his ass or make airline tickets or a faster path to the Detour suddenly appear out of thin air.
And you know, either this is the way he normally acts, or it's like he's said once or twice and he's "creating a character for the camera". Both are equally repellent options, especially considering this is one of the only good reality TV shows there is and he's fucking ruining it this year.

Date: 2004-12-22 09:01 am (UTC)I loved the fact that she was classy and never really talked shit about them, but made it very clear that she's right there with the rest of us.
I think I'd do the bunjee as long they triple-checked everything, and I'm terrified of heights.
Oh, yeah! I would never, never bungee jump... but I think I could handle this version, because you stay firmly on the ground right up until the last minute, and I wouldn't have as much opportunity to freak myself out. I loved that all the girls stepped up, and I'm very glad that Kendra's nausea/drama only lasted a minute. The previews last week had me wondering.
Kris thinks the bunjee is going to be fun.
Dude, seriously... can I date her, too? *hearts*
The Hungarians are laughing at Gus and Hera.
OMG that was priceless! I had to rewind the tape to make sure I saw what I thought I saw! *snicker*
Aw. God, I love Kris and Jon. They were holding hands! *swoon* Why they're not both followed by happily singing woodlands creatures, I'll never know.
They're like the most ideal, perfect team ever. Even if they don't win the big prize - which I hope like Hell they will - you can tell they're still gonna consider this one of the best, most meaningful experiences of their lives, and be grateful, you know? *hearts like whoa*
TO BE CONTINUED?! When the hell did they start this happy horseshit?! *temper tantrum*
For serious!! The fuck?? I'm so pissed... and I'm actually a little sad for Bolo & Lori. I mean, not only did they know they were last - and only getting laster by the minute - the whole time, they missed the last train and then IT STARTS TO RAIN ON THEM!
Freddy is an ass as much as someone can be while wearing Buddy Holly glasses.
As much as I want to judge him, I think spending extended periods of time with a spoiled, obnoxious brat like Kendra might shorten my fuse a bit, too.
This episode just perfectly exemplifies why I loathe Jonathan.
I just... I cannot even verbalize my hatred for that man anymore. I sit and guesture wildly at the television, and I'm just speechless with my anger/disbelief/outrage. He totally fails at being a human being.
Also, I find it interesting that the season that brought us the Most Wonderful Team Evah, who get along and enjoy themselves and compete without being ugly, has also provided us with the Most Horrible Team Evah, brimming with disdain, disgust, disrespect and dysfunction. Maybe it's like the universe's balancing system... to have one Kris & Jon, the world has to tolerate Jonathan & Victoria?

Date: 2004-12-22 01:30 pm (UTC)When that cabbie kicked them out of the cab, I cheered. Finally, all his screaming and condescending to these poor service people he mistreats is starting to bite him in the ass.

Date: 2004-12-22 01:44 pm (UTC)Oh, yeah. Jon is a lucky, lucky man. And she's a lucky, lucky woman, because Jon is amazing. They seriously are my favorite team ever on the show, and just watching them try to get their car restarted by working together and not arguing about it made me incredibly happy.

See, this is how I'd like to behave about the whole thing if I ever got a chance to be on the show. I mean, you're going around the world getting to see and do all kinds of fun stuff, so what's the point in bitching?
I'm actually a little sad for Bolo & Lori. I mean, not only did they know they were last - and only getting laster by the minute - the whole time, they missed the last train and then IT STARTS TO RAIN ON THEM!
I know. I wanted to hug the both of them, because for any yelling they might do, you can tell they both love each other and really like doing this race.
As much as I want to judge him, I think spending extended periods of time with a spoiled, obnoxious brat like Kendra might shorten my fuse a bit, too.
Heh. Good point.
I just... I cannot even verbalize my hatred for that man anymore. I sit and guesture wildly at the television, and I'm just speechless with my anger/disbelief/outrage. He totally fails at being a human being.
I wandered over to the TWoP boards last night and Drew from the first season had posted to say that Jonathan was the most annoying person he'd ever seen on TV and he could speak from experience to say that nothing involved in running The Amazing Race should make anyone behave like that. I couldn't agree with him more.

Date: 2004-12-22 07:28 pm (UTC)As far as teams I like, my favorite of who is left are Gus and Hera and Kris and Jon.
Personally, I wanted to cheer when that cabbie pulled over and was really hoping no one else would pick him up! At first I felt sorry for Victoria because she had to put up with him, but lost all sympathy when she excused his horrible behavior because 'he's just Jonathan'. He may be, but that doesn't give him the right to hit her like he did. Makes the comment that he would be a really good father sound almost psychotic in nature. *shivers*
