The Amazing Race Season 13 - Discussion

[2Epcot]

It is always a little hard to follow all the teams and the beginning, but I still enjoy the show. Always one of my favorite reality shows. I don't think any other reality show will win the Reality Emmy until this show is off the air. From a production/technical standpoint the show always amazes me.

TAR may air on CBS, but it's actually a co-production between several parties, including ABC Studios (formerly Touchstone Television which is part of the Disney-ABC Television Group) which oversees the distribution for TAR and co-produces the show.

Read up about a dozen or so posts in this thread and you would have known.

The post your refering to discusses production and distribution which is different than owning a show content and logo which is what I was refering to.
That makes twice you've been wrong on this thread alone, your on a roll bud.

Trust me ... if you look more closely I'm sure you'll find one or two more spots where I was wrong.

I'm pretty good at it, so I do it a lot!

So upset I missed the first episode. But not too upset, since we were at WDW.

I think the wrong couple got eliminated tonight. It should have been the couple that couldn't find the Taxi or the girls that couldn't read a clue.

Terrance annoys the crud out of me too. What a drama queen! But I thought it was cute the way he and Ken made up in the line to get on the plane.

So, does the team that finished second tonight that did the computer task rather than moving the boats remind anyone else of Adam & Jamie from the Mythbusters?

YES!!! My kids said that when we watched it last week, lol.

Our whole family loves this show but you couldn't pay me to go on it. I have friends who would love to do it...I'm sure I'd make a fool of myself.

I watched the first two episodes last night (thank goodness that I added an extra hour onto the recording time or would have missed last night's episode!) I agree that the teams are kind of a mish-mash in my mind right now, but I do like the mother/son, geek and the brother/sister teams so far. Of course, some contestants stand out for their high score on the annoyance factor--Terrance was off the chart for whining so much (Drew's neurotic behavior at the beginning kind of wore on me too, but then he mellowed out a bit), Tina's god-complex at the airport, and Christy and Kelly's ineptness at reading the clues.

ACK...Do you have my house bugged??? My DS and I were talking about that last night. WOW...I thought I was looney.

Forgive me I can't recall the names of the couple that was eliminated last night but it seemed to me like they just did not care.

IMO, the couple that was eliminated last night was forgettable. No one at our house even remembered them from week one!

And . . . "I got them to switch to a bigger plane". Oh brother!!

Yes! I said that after the first night! Isn't that funny? I wonder if they are trying to look like them.

But the fact is that she DID get them to switch the plane. But, give me a break about bragging on it to everyone. I can see why her husband or ex or whatever he is would get annoyed with her if she is like that all the time.

Yeah, I said that to DW while we were watching. I'm sure it's not a coincidence, either.

Terrence is getting on my last nerve. I was so hoping he and his nearly-as-annoying wife would just stay lost looking for their cab until someone came and dragged them away in a butterfly net. I wonder if he knows that he's the woman in the relationship?

Can't say I'm really a big fan of Ken and Tina (I think that's her name?) either. She was so irritating going on and on and on about the stupid plane. That was about the only moment when I liked someone less than Terrence!

Fortunately (for her) they are just dating, so she will be able to walk away from the relationship when the race is over. I don't mind her nearly so much, except that she plays along with Terence's needy behavior.

Yeah, I think that's what I don't like about her, too. I mean how about that whole thing with him "bleeding" from being hit in the head with the trunk???

I just kept thinking, "Why doesn't she smack him one, tell him to shut up and stop whining??"

She's an enabler, which is why I find her annoying, too. Plus, her entire judgement has to be called into question for dating a guy like that in the first place.

HEY Ian...no need to insult us woman

I really hope they go soon! I like the brother and sister, but when the brother said he would go back and didn't...I think that will come back to bite him.

[Ian]

Ha ha .... sorry, Kelly. You're right ... that was an unintended insult to women everywhere!

[c&d]

I'm waiting for the complete implosion of Terry. He's so out of control now that when he gets a little sleep deprived he's just going to lose it.

Hopefully his girlfriend will realize what a crazy person he is. I think she's starting to realize that now.

[Mousefever]

Awwww! The geeks are gone. I would have rather seen the divorcees be eliminated. I think they're a little snarky. I'm sorry the one gal kept crashing her bike though. Ouch!

I don't think I remember another race where so many contestants had issues reading the directions!
