Week Five! The Racers are apparently headed for some place called Baku, Azerbaijan. Where exactly IS this place? I guess I was about as surprised that it was in Russia as if they had said the teams were headed for the moon. I think I had an okay grasp of geography right before Russia broke off into all of these various countries. I mean, I literally had NEVER heard of this country before. Pretty sad. What was totally annoying about the teams going there was that they seemed to want to keep mentioning the country name, as if this made them seem like they knew exactly where it was. “We’re headed for Azerbaijan. Baku. A city in Azerbaijan.” We’re not fooled. You had no clue either. Of course, our Southerners weren’t putting on any airs. Mark said they were headed for “Ashabayjay” and that he thought that was in Africa. Gotta love those two.

So, what’s new, Art and JJ are off first again. Joey Fitness and Danny leave second and have a conversation … Continue reading →

Week Five! Those of you who also watched last season of The Amazing Race can probably remember my least favorite couple, (who won the million…of course) Ernie and Cindy. There’s a link to an article about their wedding—believe it or not, Ernie plans to end—I mean spend–his life with Cindy. The pictures were as barfy as expected. Apparently, according to People, these two had “a travel theme, with passports for programs, a departure board telling dinner guests where to sit and menu cards that looked like telegrams in vintage envelopes.” Is it me or is the quest to have a unique wedding getting totally ridiculous and annoying? “The THEME of our wedding is World Traveler….” Warrants a punch in the face to me. I would NOT have wanted to be one of Cindy’s bridesmaids. But what literally takes the cake is that they had a cake that was supposed to mimic Cindy and Ernie on the Amazing Race, with two little figures on top even equipped with little backpacks. If you’re feeling nauseous and looking … Continue reading →

Week Four of the Race. All the previews looked to show a virtual implosion of Rachel and Brendon this week. Guess we’ll see if they make it through. Or if we do. They are calling it Mission Impossible for them this week. It’s more like Mission Impossible for us to watch them from what I’ve seen so far.

Art & JJ, having come in first last week, are off first to Italy. Wow. Plane leaves at 9:15 am and arrives next day around 10:35 am. Should make for a fun travel day.

Brendan and Rachel are so excited to go to Italy because that’s where they’ll apparently be honeymooning. That’s a big IF they get married. Is it possible that these two actually make it down the aisle? Even if they do, they’ll beat Kim Kardashian’s record of 72 days with Kris Humphries for sure. I mean, if you can’t control how juvenile and annoying you are with your significant other on national TV, can you imagine how bad it is in real life … Continue reading →
