Tea Bone posted:Didn't Rachel win Big Brother? How does Big Brother work in the US? Over here the public get to vote for the winner, I can't imagine what kind of people were left for Rachel to be the best choice. In America the players in the game vote jury style like survivor. Americans usually like the worst people so it mostly works out.

quote:Caroline and Jennifer are little gigolettes...they are prostitutes too? That ís 100% the truth. . . . The reason she thinks I pushed her? She was probably drunk. She was probably falling over her own feet drunk because she was drinking the whole night. That’s probably exactly what happened and that is a 100 percent not a lie. I hope the girls sue their asses over that. The racism accusation is hilarious, too. That word has so many meanings. It could have been because they were outcasts, because they were weird, because they always wore tight green clothes and looked like a stereotypical alien pair. quote:You hear them say that they are not our kind of people. At the end of the day really what does that mean? It means that I didn’t grow up in Orange County, I didn’t grow up in Salt Lake City with all the white people, I am Mexican… That's TOTALLY what they meant, not that you're both loving nuts, prissy, needy people who freak out over everything and have to make every situation dramatic. Of course not. If anyone ever asks why people don't like Rachel, just show them that article.

Has there been any official clarification on the rule of who can do tasks since Dave/Conner obviously changed what we thought was supposed to be an even split? I'm just curious because for next season, I don't see how the one-armed surfer is going to get very far. I know one-armed people can do everything but not without a bag full of attachments. She lost her arm at the shoulder, which is worse so I'm not sure how she can do rappelling, carrying heavy stuff, pole vaulting, etc. I just hope the tasks aren't at all easier. Not trying to be a dick, so please enlighten me if I am missing some aspect to this.

Kung Fu Jesus posted:Has there been any official clarification on the rule of who can do tasks since Dave/Conner obviously changed what we thought was supposed to be an even split? It had been made a point in earlier seasons (even as recent as the previous season) that tasks had to be an even split. This season I don't know if they silently changed the rule, allowed Dave/Connor to be except, who knows. Looking it up now, it seems that the rule has constantly changed. Early seasons allowed teams to distribute the Roadblocks between the team members as they desired, which allowed one team member to do nearly all the Roadblocks. This was changed in season six, which limited a single teammate to a maximum number of Roadblocks he or she could complete, thus forcing his or her partner to perform roughly half of the Roadblocks, as well. Subsequent seasons have not explicitly stated this rule but teams have maintained an even distribution of Roadblocks throughout the Race. Racers can be heard saying they've done "all my Roadblocks" or "saving the last one". In season nine, the Roadblock limit was increased to a maximum of seven which can lead to a 6–6 or 5–7 distribution. In season 18, the rule was further modified to state that team members could not complete more than five Roadblocks prior to the final leg. The only time the limit was not enforced was during the "Family Edition", wherein some Roadblocks required two people from each four-person team to participate. When asked by a fan of the show on Twitter during the finale of season 24, Phil Keoghan explained that for several seasons already they had changed the rules such that up through leg 10 individual racers were limited to performing a maximum of 6 Roadblocks, but the final 3 Roadblocks on legs 11 and 12 were not subject to the limit. This change in rules results in a possible Roadblock split of 8-5, as possessed by season 24's winning team of Dave and Connor O'Leary. Seems like a simple rule to have so much waffling on, but  .

Kung Fu Jesus posted:Has there been any official clarification on the rule of who can do tasks since Dave/Conner obviously changed what we thought was supposed to be an even split? If I'm remembering what I read correctly, after the finale Phil tweeted that the rule had been changed to no more than 6 Roadblocks per person before the 10th leg, and in the last two legs each person had to do at least one. It doesn't really surprise me that they never said anything about it because they've always been pretty mum on most of the rules. In response to the spoiler text, I doubt anything will be anything different. The team will probably just plan their Roadblocks and Detour choices around that, much like Margie & Luke did. As a side note, Amazing Race Australia had a contestant that only had one arm and was able to do everything, even drive a stick shift. Granted, it was only up to his elbow, but it's still pretty impressive.

If it was moving from mid-week I'd say so, but they had a very cushy Sunday night slot. I don't know about you, but when I'm in those times of life with a Monday-Friday grind, Sunday is the night of watching TV in silent resignation, admitting the end of the weekend. They could easily lose a bunch of casual viewers.

For those worried about the show being cancelled, apparently their social media caretaker hasn't got the memo. Edit because attachment failed: today the Amazing Race page posted a casting call link for the next next season on Facebook.

Well I thoroughly enjoyed SCOTIABANK AMERICAN EXPRESS CARD. And also "Ladies, over 10 million Canadians watched you win Olympic gold medals in hockey. But that's nothing compared to the excitement of you winning two thousand dollars in The Amazing Race!" Seeing the Canadian version of the Twinnies die in the middle of a challenge was cool I guess as well.

I don't get it, it's not like this show ends up being torrented. Hell, I watched it live. I loved the part with the "Twinnies" asked the frenchies what they did for a living and they respond "We kill animals.

I don't know how to watch this other than , but the Australian version just started its 3rd season and has 5 teams from Australia and 5 from New Zealand. It's still an individual race but with some Oz vs Kiwi fun thrown in. The first episode was a lot better than Canada's, there's a team checking in their bags and losing time to that, one team misreads the clue twice, one team leaves an important item at a challenge, taxi race, car sickness, tractors being abused, people tackling lambs, good poo poo all around. They're traveling to other countries and there isn't product placement every 3 minutes. Mother to son: Why didn't you bring your brother? Or a friend? Don't you have friends? Apparently she also told the other teams she was an astronaut and had been to the moon twice and the idiots believed her.

My favorite part of the premiere was when they got everyone riled up to leave the starting like then had them do a tug of war, forcing the losing side to stand around for 10 minutes. Because there's no more gripping television than watching half the cast stand around and stare at each other.

TAR Australia is pretty good this year. Half the teams are butthurt that not everyone is on the show for a good times jaunt with pals, which is amusing. Also the prizes are reduced from the American version so you get to hear Grant Bowler pretending to be upbeat about awarding a first place team 1000 airline miles.

The two blonde Aussie morons: -They are so stereotypical it makes me want to punch the screen. -The macho Aussie Pride attitude is goddam grating -They hold petty grudges over nothing -The dude constantly makes "women belong in the kitchen" type remarks -They are deluded about their physical and mental capabilities -They constantly contradict themselves by being all judgy about the actions of other teams and then proceed to be as equally dirty to another team 5 minutes later -Nothing is EVER their fault. Gotta blame the taxi driver, or the task being stupid, the other teams, natives not understanding English and their dumb accents Rooting for Team Jesus (did I miss the "we are God loving Christians" reference or is it just cause one dude kind of looks like Jesus)

Poor team meatheads, you were too good for this race. Unfortunately one bad choice cost them. Picking the wood stacking over the sauna one was just stupid, that looked like it would take at least a hour to do while the sauna you could blow though in like 20 minutes. I'd like to see them on the US version. I dont like any of the remaining teams. I especially dont like team Jesus.
