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 →

Here we are at week three already! Let’s get right to it. G.F. Rachel and Dave were in first again, so they also leave first. Flying to Paraguay from Buenos Aires. Smart move on Rachel’s part, she’s wearing a hat for most of the episode. I may even lay off her large forehead a little. It’s gonna be hard though because even the theme of the show has to do with heads. I’ll see what I can do.

Border patrol is a close second in leaving and they seem pleased they are headed for another Spanish-speaking country. They say that they will dominate because of it. Uh huh. Didn’t do them much good in the last leg of the race if I remember correctly. Guess we’ll see. Thanking the taxi drivers and saying “Faster!” in Spanish doesn’t seem to be all that above the other contestants. Maybe the accent is a little more authentic, but ultimately, I’m not hearing long conversations or anything out of these two.

Dave and Rachel arrive at the … Continue reading →
