PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate

be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out

Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"This season a potential repeat of Season 3?" |
Think about it - we're down to four teams that I'll cast in seemingly very familiar positions.TK and Rachel - played previously by twins Derek and Drew, this is Team Fourth Place. D&D were doomed by the Twinhunt, which was an insane concept. TK&R are doomed by the Speed Bump and the three-hour gap between them and third place, which is caused by an insane flight choice. They are done for. Nicolas and Donald - played previously by Ken and Gerard, they're the least irritating team left after the final three is decided. They're knowledgeable, fun to watch, and far less nauseating than any of the others. A solid choice to win, if we were voting. K&G may have been better, but Flyboy and Grandpappy will do in a pinch. Ronald and Christina - played previously by Ian and Teri, this is the team that gets less irritating as time goes on, has one cantankerous person, but that person wises up at the end. Ian's excuse was that he was giving up smoking; Ron may or may not be doing the same, but my guess is no. Chris is far more redeemable than the somewhat irritating Teri. In most seasons, having them as the winners would be extremely undesirable, but it beats the hell out of at least one alternative. Nathan and Jennifer - played previously by Flo and Zach, this is the team that is universally hated. The difference? In the original team, Zach was likable but a bit dim and timid. Flo was more irritating than a symphony of tortured cats, nails on chalkboards, and William Hung medleys at the same time. This team has two completely unredeemable players who, individually, do not equal Flo and may actually have some good qualities, but together, are torture. Them winning would be worse than Flo and Zach winning. When FloZach won, at least people could say, "Well, Zach earned it." If Nathan and Jennifer win, we can't exactly say thet, since they're both irritating. We can only hope it turns out differently. Freddy and Kendra were bad enough. Same for Eric and Danielle. Another obnoxious team winning is just too much to handle.

I haven't gotten to see Seasons 2, 3, or 4 yet. I've read the summaries and recaps, so I have a general idea of what happened.Looking back on 6, I think the whole country wanted to Kris and Jon to win. The whole country, that is, except . . . . . . the producers, who by the end of the Race had seen that they could never have a couple like K/J on the race again. Why? Because they were too squeaky clean. It was hard to make a story of them through the whole race. Notice how there really hasn't been anyone like K/J in the (non-Family) Races since. About the closest may have been the Chos, but their ineptitude trumped their niceness. Even Rachel and TK have a bit more tension between them, with Rachel wanting to get married and TK, not so much. I think that in his finale summary for Season 6, the (now-apparently-departed) Landru could not have pegged K/J and Freddy and Kendra any better. If you haven't read it, it's hilarious and, IMO, one of the best. summaries. ever.

> . . . the producers, >who by the end of >the Race had seen that >they could never have a >couple like K/J on the >race again. Why? >Because they were too squeaky Thread hijack here, but I keep reading about how 'squeaky clean' Kris and Jon were from season 6. IIRC, Kris was listed as a former Go-go dancer. Is there really any such thing as a go-go dancer here in the 2000's? Maybe I don't get out enough but I read that as her being a stripper, but didn't really want to call herself a stripper, so they called her a go-go dancer. And for the record, I did like this team (Kris and Jon), so I'm not really bashing, I'm just pointing out what I noted. Maybe someone has more information regarding her dancing experiece, but my guess is she did it without clothes. Which means she wasn't all that clean and should have won anyway, right?
