AMAZING RACE

For those of you that don't know me, I LOVE, love, LOVE, Love, LOOOOVE the Amazing Race.  I think it is the greatest show ever to be seen on television. The show is captivating-it makes me happy, sad, angry, nervous (nervous enough to bite my nails) and excited.  Thus far I have never cried over the Amazing Race though.  The Amazing Race is a reality show, where you watch 11 teams of 2, race around the world, doing different challenges. Each week the last team is eliminated until only 3 teams are left to race against each other at the finale for the grand prize of 1,000,000 dollars.


Last night, after 17 "seasons" an all girl team won the million dollars-Nat & Kat, both anesthesiologists.  I personally wanted the second place team Brooke and Claire to win because they had more spunk and personality but I am glad the doctors won anyways.

There is a new Amazing Race starting February 20, 2011 titled "Unfinished Business" meaning they are having previous contestants (who didn't win) come back and race again.  My favorites to win are the cowboys.  They are funny and kind, plus they say stuff like a "deetur" instead of detour and "oh my gravy".

I started watching Amazing Race in 2004, when season 5 was airing and since then I have been obsessed. Every Sunday night I watch Amazing Race with my family...or sometimes without them, either way I am eagerly sitting on the couch waiting for the next episode.  I would love to be a contestant/team on Amazing Race because I think that Bart can do anything and I like to travel. BUT the jet lag would definitely catch up with me and I might turn into one of the mean contestants that no one likes...lack of sleep and food does that to me. Wouldn't it be terrible to be the first team to be eliminated? After you've made it through the application process just to get eliminated the next day...

My all time Amazing Race favorites are the Beauty Queens. Miss California and Miss New York, who met at Miss America. They Came in 4th place for Season 10 and then 2nd place the All Star season 11. I love them because they are strong team, all girl, talented and worked well together.

Am I crazy to like a TV show so much.?. Does anyone else love the Amazing Race and if not what shows do you like?

I've never watched the Amazing race either but I don't think it is crazy to like a telvision show that much. Personally I was an E.R. fanatic back in the day and wouldn't miss an episode if I could help it. My sister loves the Amazing Race though and now you have spiked my curiosity. Perhaps I'll have to tune in for the coming season.

I know that you DO love Amazing Race. I wish that you and Bart would just go be on it. Now that would be cool to watch!!!!!
I did think the singing Acapella boys were funny this season.

I'm with ya sister. I have Tivo set up to watch it so that I don't miss an episode. I usually end up watching it Monday nights though. The Brooke and Clair Flare is totally who I wanted to win too! I love how they had saved outfits and all. Maybe, just maybe you shoud move to Provo by the start of the next season then I can be your "family" and watch it with you :)
