Hello everyone, I can’t believe we’re already at the finale! I also still can’t believe our snowboarders, certainly who seemed like the frontrunners to win, were eliminated on last Sunday’s show. I read their exit interview, which showed what a class act these two are. There were no hard feelings from either of them, though the taxi driver collaboration was not addressed. I checked out some of the comments that readers were making after the exit interview. It looks like a huge amount of viewers also believed that the fact that the other teams directed their taxi drivers to the wrong location yet were miraculously driven to the pit stop anyway was pretty unfair to the snowboarders. But it also seemed that the view on the situation was based on who these readers wanted to win—if they were Marcus/Amani, Jeremy/Sandy or Ernie/Cindy fans, they took an “All’s fair…” attitude. Likewise, if the readers were fans of the snowboarders they were horrified that this all played out without penalties. I must say that my kneejerk reaction … Continue reading →

So, for starters, I just want to say “sorry.” If you feel like my column has blown recently, you are not alone. I think so too. I just feel like there’s not enough of the morons left for me to do much with. I guess these people are pretty good at this, and that’s why they are near the end. And there’s only so many of the “I can’t stand Cindy” “Andy and Tommy sound dumb” and “Marcus = constant NFL flashbacks” comments that I know you’ll be able to stand. It gets really hard to mix it up with so few groups left, and it’s not like you’re actually here to read a blow by blow of what happened on the show. You’ve got eyes and ears. You saw it for yourself. Anyway, bear with me. Only one more week of this for all of us….

We are seriously down to only four teams. I really wish that Ernie and Cindy weren’t one of them, but that’s nothing new. Hey, I guess any team … Continue reading →

And we’re back in Brussels.  Getting close to the end of this thing.  This week is a continuation of last week’s leg, and if you remember correctly, we only saw Amani and Marcus check in.  I’m still hoping that somehow Cindy and Ernie get kicked to the curb this week, though I know my only hope is that it happens at the end of this leg.     Amani and Marcus are shown checking in again and getting the next clue.  They are told to drive to the Ford Proving Ground in Belgium for the next clue.  These two have issues pretty early with figuring out where to go.  It’s looking like they will pretty much blow their lead.     Oh great, Ernie and Cindy check in next.  No penalty.  Damn.  Did she just pronounce it PRO-ving Ground?  Weird.  Isn’t she supposed to be so smart?       Jeremy and Sandy are shown at the pit stop next.  Sandy says PRAHV-ing Ground.  What the hell is up with these chicks?   Can’t manage … Continue reading →
