"I am really not liking these people this year!!!!"
Posted by mindy23 on 04-13-09 at 02:34 AM
As in a few of the other reality shows this season, I have to scratch my head and wonder, 'where the heck did they find these people???'.

Nothing to do with their intelligence, but personality-THAT is something most of them seem to be lacking. I can honestly say, after all the years I've been watching TAR, I do NOT have ONE team I am rooting for, and could care less about who wins. But I do have very strong feelings about who I hope DOES NOT win, and that is Luke the Puke and his Mom, the enabler!

The kid is deaf, not paralyzed, and I am SO SICK (physically, honestly!) of hearing him moan and complain every time he has to do one.single.physical. thing! He couldn't even step up and pull that darn rickshaw so his mom could have a break!! But, he's been, I'm sure, groomed since his childhood to have everything Luke wants, anytime Luke wants it!!

As far as the lawyer team? They are ok, now that brother realizes his poop really does stink like everyone else's. The redheaded cheerleaders? OMG! Don't even get me started on the screaming meemies, who think they can come from America and make the entire 3rd world their slaves!!

Then there are the midgets who obviously cannot read, or comprehend what they have read, OR feel that the rules just don't apply to them. Either that, or have seen past episodes of TAR where people actually got away with bribing their Taxi Cab Drivers! Whatever...

The sisters, I don't mind so much. Sibling rivalry is right up my alley-being the youngest, I am never right, never have a clue, and always the last to know. Really made a huge difference in tonight's episode, didn't it?? And yet, older sister STILL did not take the full blame! Why? Because she is who she is. Barefoot or not. Better check those feet for parasites, sweetie!

Anyway, that's my rant and I'm stickin' to it. I'm not even so fond of Phil this year. Maybe HE has a parasite up his innerds, too. Who knows. The economy has us all a little cranky, you know. But, I have a secret for ya, Phil, these trips are not coming out of YOUR pockets, so lighten up a bit, would ya???

Mindy,

With all due respect, you have to get a grip on reality. If you don't like anyone, including Phil, gotta tell you, its YOU!!!! If you can't reread your posting and see that you don't like
anyone, well, what more can I say? I really happen to like
this group better than the other groups the show has been having the last time especially.
last few times.

Whatever-try reading the rules before you post. Also, I really don't appreciate you using MY sigpic. Evidentally, you are new, and don't have your own, maybe you could get someone to work on that for ya, huh?

I have to agree with you! Except where Phil comes in. I think Phil is great!

Seeing the upcoming scenes for next week Luke the Puke (love it) seems to be more bratty than ever.

You'll get no argument from me. In this week's lvoe list thread, all five remaining teams are grouped in my "don't like" category.

That's right, I don't like any of them either.

Yeah, Luke gets on my nerves as well...and his mom is obviously exhausted from doing everthing...what a workhorse she is!

I like Victor and Tammy, and like Luke's mom..but hate almost everyone else...ESPECIALLY THE RED HEADED BEOTCH TWINS!! Holy cow are those women rude and obnoxious! And, mini-men, please, read the rules, eh?

Go Victor and Tammy!

I think Phil is just tired of dealing with stoooooopid people, and it's starting to show. Whereas Jeffie on Survivor gets a kick out of it, and has that amazing grin on his face when people do crazy, wild things, Phil-not so much! LOL.

He was obviously VERY upset that the midgets failed, once again, or rather, twice again, to pay attention to the rules. I can just hear the conversations between him and the producer about having to put out X amount of dollars on these guys, and there is no drama factor, only disappointment all around.

Well, maybe he'll lighten up next episode when the 2 HAVE to pay attention and are hit with speed bumps that will surely get them booted off.

BTW: I kind of like Margie, but I've been around so many moms like her who think their child can do no wrong, and is so so special-I just can't root for her, after seeing her victimized by her own poor judgements. Sad. Maybe after watching this, she'll see some reality and make big boy start taking on some responsibilities! Wonder where Dad is in this picture, anyway??


"My feelings"
Posted by shimane22 on 04-17-09 at 02:11 AM
My feelings on the remaining TAR competitors:

I love Margie and Cara.
I generally like Tammy, Victor, Kisha, and Jen.
There are moments where I like Luke, Jaime, and Michael.
Mark always sucks.

This is probably my last race. I'm not even excited about tonight. The schreeching redhead killed it for me. My blood pressure goes up every time she's on.

I watch no reality shows. Amazing Race was one of my favorite shows because I watched it more as a travelogue. Now it is much less travelogue and more reality show. The end for me was the semi-streaking in Siberia. Amazing Race is no longer a show I want to watch.

On TAR they race in pairs. That makes it harder to pick someone to hope for. Often we like one person and dislike the other on a team. If I like both they usually get booted soon. If I dislike both they seem to stick around forever. This season I am left with teams I just don't have alot of interest in. None of the teams make me want to hope for them to win. Instead I find myself wanting them all booted for one reason or other. I was watching the opening lastnight and wishing some of the early boots were still around instead of who we are left with.

Another complaint is the Roadblocks and Detours lately have been too easy or boring. Where are the dramatic challenges? Singing in a van or copying caligraphy just doesn't come off too exciting or hard. Next week we get foot massages. Oh how exciting? Where are the physical challenges or the hard puzzles?

Oh, yes, I agree.

I wish Brad and Victoria were still on.

ABSOLUTELY!! What was the deal with washing the ladies' hair? Any 3 y/o could have done that! GEEZ, already. Ok, so they have bungie jumped, climbed up a large building (if I remember rightly, maybe that was last season..), looked for clues (and screamed at the poor man trying to find them for them), pulled rickshaws, but that's about it for the excitement. I was so pumped up with the cheeseballs, then what? Not much else. Are their insurance rates getting too high for them? I dunno, but it's getting way boooooooooring to me, too! The most fun I had last night was the fighting between the sisters and Luke! Now THAT was a challenge I would not have missed for the world.
