Cygnus X1 7505 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-25-06, 10:00 PM (EST) "Um, you can start hating each other anytime now." Usually by this time in other Races, battle lines have been drawm among the teams. You had the Guidos vs. Everyone, Mirna and Schmirna vs. Colon and Polyp, Jerkathon vs. Everyone, Lynn and Alex vs. Romber, Romber vs. Everyone, Everyone vs. the Weavers, etc. This season . . . zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. They're all shiny happy Racers holding hands. Even Lake, the most objectionable Racer so far, has only been targeted by Michelle. While I like for the most part where they've gone and what they've had to do (the gnomeblock being an exception), the lack of real competitiveness or rivalry is making it hard to maintain my interest. Anyone else agree, or is it still early yet? Better than I deserve.   Top

There's been some sniping between the teams, and some of the sharing/betrayals/sneakyness from the latter half of the 3rd leg will cause some friction. (MoJo/Nerds especially but also the sneaky maneuver that the Hippies did to the Dentist's at the end might rile Lake up, and it looks like he already had a short fuse....) Besides we're always one task away from a team's implosion.....   Top

Neobie 888 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Fitness Correspondent" 03-26-06, 02:10 AM (EST) 2. "RE: Um, you can start hating each other anytime now." Probably too early? Guidos vs Everyone: Tunis, Tunisia, Episode 6 There was some foreshadowing in Episode 3 though at Focault's Pendulum in Paris, but it didn't seem like much at that time. Mirna vs Colin: Cairo, Egypt, Episode 6 The two teams were separated much of the first four legs. Jonathan vs Viewers: Berlin, Germany, Episode 5 There wasn't any inter-team conflict until Episode 6, when Gus became irritated with him. Lena/Kristy and Maria/Meredith merely noted his actions and reactions to his wife. Lynn/Alex vs Romber: Los Angeles, USA, Pre-Episode 1 Yep, this one started even before the race begin. But that's only because there is a history between the two teams. People don't usually develop such 'hatred' on a normal race so quickly. Romber vs Everyone: Mendoza, Argentina, Episode 3 Slightly carried over from the hate of Lynn/Alex. I'd say this has some link to what Rob did on Survivor as well. Weavers vs Everyone: Lancaster, USA, Episode 3 Come on. It's the Weavers. There has to be conflict there. I agree that the casting of this team did result in the conflict, but look at what it did to the viewers! As others have said, there's less bunching on this season (which is good by any standards) which results in less bumping into and clashing of different teams. The less conflict of interests there are, the less battles there will be. I'm sure this will change as the field is dwindled down into a smaller number of relatively competent teams, as it is then when they realise that to win, the others have to lose. At that point, bring out the fireworks!   Top

Max Headroom 10069 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-27-06, 11:11 AM (EST) 3. "RE: Um, you can start hating each other anytime now." I think we'll see more conflict as the race goes on. People will get tired, be more jet-lagged, and just generally have shorter fuses, plus the tension level of the race goes up over time. Do you really think Lake will go the entire race without losing his temper in a big way? Or Monica will avoid having a major meltdown? Guess we'll have to watch and see what happens!   Top

mikey 1150 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Politically Incorrect Guest" 03-27-06, 02:54 PM (EST) 4. "RE: Um, you can start hating each other anytime now." Eric and Jeremy vs. the Double D's --C'mon, these guys can't really tell the Double D's apart, and one of them is going to slip up and forget which one they were canoodling with -- then watch the sparks between these two teams fly.   Top

tamarama 1785 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 03-27-06, 04:08 PM (EST) 5. "RE: Um, you can start hating each other anytime now." I'm actually ok with the harmony -- it doesn't take anything away for me. The suspense & tension of the race itself is what I like to watch -- if I want to watch people bickering and being hateful, I'll go visit my mother.   Top

Cygnus X1 7505 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-27-06, 05:09 PM (EST) 6. "RE: Um, you can start hating each other anytime now." Can I watch too? Better than I deserve.   Top

Snidget 44369 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-27-06, 08:25 PM (EST) 8. "RE: Um, you can start hating each other anytime now." *shakes head* And you would think the bickering over on the SO forums would be more than enough for you. Lost with PhoenixMons Although I am wondering when/over what the whole shiny happy people holding hands TAR will succumb to competition. They do all seem to like each other/help the other teams more than the last couple of seasons that I watched.   Top

tamarama 1785 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 03-28-06, 03:13 PM (EST) 9. "RE: Um, you can start hating each other anytime now." Trust me, you wouldn't...er.... Do you want to go instead of me? I'll meet you later for (what will be) your required alcohol.   Top

Seana 5044 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-29-06, 10:30 AM (EST) 10. "You asked for it!" Now we have a Lake/Michelle and Fran/Barry rivalry. Of sorts. I wonder how this will play out.   Top

Lasann 3616 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Thong Contest Judge" 03-29-06, 11:30 AM (EST) 11. "RE: You asked for it!" If Lake and Michelle perform this badly again, it won't play out because they'll be gone. please let them be gone. A girl can have dreams! - Tagged by ARKIE!!!   Top

DeltaPin 55 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 03-30-06, 05:50 PM (EST) 12. "RE: You asked for it!" >If Lake and Michelle perform this >badly again, it won't play >out because they'll be gone. > please let them be >gone. > I'm actually hoping they stay around long enough for Michelle to do a Roadblock. Actually I'm hoping TAR doesn't give teams reminders about how many Roadblocks they've done. Then after Lake performs his 7th, at the Pit Stop Phil tells them that they have to go back so Michelle can do it. Oh the fireworks & joy it would bring.   Top

Seana 5044 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-26-06, 11:17 PM (EST) 13. "I thought of this thread..." ...while watching tonight's episode. Wow. Who knew MoJo was so full of contempt for the Hippies? She called them "sleazy"? (Maybe she was thinking of Eric and Jeremy.) Yolanda mentioned that MoJo acts nice, but isn't...everyone just seemed that much nastier. So in an interesting reversal, we have had all the teams being editted as nicer people in the beginning. Maybe they had to change the editting after the bad guy team of Lake/Michelle went to Sequesterville.   Top

Karchita 4483 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 04-27-06, 00:25 AM (EST) 14. "RE: I thought of this thread..." MoJo sure seemed to be getting a more negative edit as is everyone since the departure of Lake and Michelle. Or maybe she really is that b!tchy. It seems plausible to me that the racers start out excited and pleasant to each other, and then they get tired and cranky and more competitive when they get down to smaller numbers. I know some of these people are much more irritating to me now that I have gotten to know them.   Top

Seana 5044 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-27-06, 03:40 PM (EST) 17. "RE: I thought of this thread..." I got a bad vibe from Monica early on in the race and have had trouble forgetting that negative reaction, even though I don't exactly remember what she said. I actually think the editting was making her seem nicer than she is. Just my opinion, to be sure. I thought something similar about Lake/Michelle leaving and there not being anyone to play the bad guys now. I also agree that it's getting down to the end and they're just tired.   Top

CouchTater 1046 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Politically Incorrect Guest" 04-27-06, 01:33 PM (EST) 15. "RE: I thought of this thread..." I'm really curious what the fuss is all about with MoJo and the Hippies. They seemed to be on good terms in Italy and all the smack talk was from the Hippies against the Frats and vice versa. Then last week Mo referred to the Hippies as butt heads. Now all the sudden it's like war. I can see that Mo really might be a biatch but then again I can see that the hippies could be totally annoying and maybe not as goody two shoes as they like to portray. I wonder why the Hippies would out and out state that they would yield Mojo? Also, MoJo seemed to be totally fine with the Frats, which surprises me because I would have thought for sure that the Frats juvenile behavior would be a definite turn off to Mo. I guess we have to wait until one of those teams are eliminated to find out what happened.   Top

Karchita 4483 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 04-27-06, 03:03 PM (EST) 16. "RE: I thought of this thread..." Apparently the hippies made a threat during the pit stop that the other teams had to leave money in their car or get yielded later. Threats don't seem like the best strategy to me, but whatever. Maybe they meant it half-jokingly. In any case, Mo took offense. I liked the frat boys' solution of an IOU. As for Mo getting along with the frat boys, they seem like birds of a feather to me because she just screams sorority wench. Joe is probably a frat boy himself.   Top

Lisa0116 688 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Reality Show Commentator" 05-02-06, 05:37 PM (EST) 18. "RE: I thought of this thread..." For some reason, MoJo think that the Hippies are only doing well because they are having good luck and that they (MoJo) aren't having as much luck on the Race. Of course, the Hippies have come in last and lost all their money and belongings (how's that for good luck, eh??). I think the REAL problem is that MoJo is incapable of reading and understanding their clues......   Top
