Amazing Race

Who's watching? How amazing was the girl with one leg getting up the rope? That was incredible. I didn't really like how she used her disability to benefit them tho. I guess it will balance out.

Who are your pics for winning? I think I like the drug addict/models, the father and daughter and the couple that didn't seem to get along (can't remember their names).

They've definitely put a lot of diversity in this year - culture/race wise and a LOT of advertising - I think they said 'Thrifty' like a hundred times!

I like the disabled girl (Sarah) and Peter and the father/daugher. The only thing I saw that Sarah did was get on the plane first but I didn't see that as an advantage since she only got to sit down before the others. But like you said people with 2 legs could barely get up the wall so she will have some disadvantages coming her way that the others won't have to deal with.

I felt bad for her!! I wanted her to have a head start or something!

I'm so glad she made it up the wall!

She also used it to get a cab at some point, she was saying emergency emergency and pointing at her leg. I guess you do what you gotta do.

I missed that part because I was flipping stations

I guess it does go both ways though. She is using her disability to gain advantages but she also has to do the challenges just like everyone else with having a disability. After having to climb that wall I guess the show isn't catering to her.

I still have to watch it (it's on Tivo)... I saw the first few minutes and already think it looks good. I like the couple with the disabled woman too.

Did anyone watch last night? I still have the last 15 min. or so to watch b/c the tivo cut off (the show started late). I couldn't believe that Sarah and her boyfriend, whoever he is, were trying to collect cash for her dancing around on her prosthetic leg. That was strange. It seems to me that she likes him more than he likes her. She is trying to be the "perfect" girlfriend or something. She's always apologizing and stuff and when he was trying to get her to stop and take a break while they are racing... wierd.

It was a pretty good show, lots of mishaps which always makes it interesting. Wonder what happens in the end of the show.

It was a good show last night. Its funny you said that about her liking him more because at the end of the show she said something about how she was noticing little things about him that she didn't like (or something like that). It was hilarious when their cow thing ran off. Do you want to know what happened? If you don't stop reading now!

The two cheerleaders got eliminated. The disabled girl and partner were first and won a trip to mexico.

Thanks for filling me in on the end. I had planned to go to my sister's to watch it on her tivo (her husband added time to it) but never got over there. She had told me that the cheerleaders got illiminated but I didn't know about Sara and her boyfriend. Did she say that about the little things she was seeing and not liking at the end?
