04/29 - No spoilers in the title, but in the thread?

[Tabby Lavalamp]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

GO BQs!

I'm sad to see Danny and Oswald leave, because now the BQs HAVE to win! Not that they didn't have to before, but there are no second choices now...

[chooch850]

Yes, the BQ's are doing great. Even Phil remarked on all the ''toys" they've won. I will miss the Cha Cha's. They were good TV.

....... I do have to say though thatMirna really supports Charla when she does a task. she encourages and congratulates her when she's finished, praising her efforts...... not so the other way around. I never hear Charla telling Mirna all that stuff. I don't blame Mirna for getting curt with her sometimes and nagging her to get moving when speed is important.(at least she didn't call her a little pig.)

.....as long as Eric and Danielle don't come in first, I'll be happy.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Loved the "teletubbies" remark - and so surprised that didn't make it into the title (it certainly wouldn't have been a spoiler).

Loved the challenges last night - they were actually challenging.

Could Charla have pressed those buttons a few MORE times? Good Lord that woman is annoying. I loved when the little army guy was standing behind the ChaCha - waiting to be discovered. Too cute.

Phil looked cold and out of breath at the very beginning - it made me feel protective and wanting to bundle him up and feed him warm soup. (swoon)

I am very sad to see the Cha's go - and sadder to see the BQ's fighting in the previews. I have always loved how well they handle everything - hate to see that unravel as they get so close to being the first all girl team to win. Come in girls - get it together!

[Pegster]

If Charla and Mirna win, I'm moving to Canada.

If I had been Charla's military escort, I would have shot her. She's obviously too stupid to live if she can't comprehend "Don't push the button".

I'm mad that the Danny & Oswald are gone. I don't even care now. I guess I'm routing for the BQ's now, although it's more routing against their competition than wanting them to win.

Hey, I was doing my damnedest not to put "WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" in as the title.


What I learned last night: Mirna tries to tailor the accent she uses to the nationality of the person she's haranguing.

What the hell? It's the same friggin' accent every time, Mirna! And every time it sounds vaguely European, never Asian, Mirna! And NOBODY needs you to put on an accent to help them understand English better, Mirna!
The patronizing accents have always pissed me off, but I always assumed it was possibly a little bit subconscious. But to find out that not only is it always very deliberate, but that she thinks it always sounds different?
You are no Meryl Streep, Mirna.

[Ms. Tumnus]

If Charla and Mirna win, I'm moving to Canada.

Dear Rob! Now I REALLY don't want them to win.

Kidding Pegs. That would make their victory almost bearable.

"um, excuse me, we're in a race, so if you could make this military exercise go a little faster for little ol' me and even littler ol' her, that would be great." Too bad they weren't sucked through that gaping hole in the back.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFuck I'm pissed that DannO couldn,t pull it together. They just seemed like balloons that were slowly deflating over the last two legs. Did you notice that they were an hour and a half behind Eric and Danielle at the beginning?

[may1]

I also was so sad to see Danny/Oswald leave. When they told Phil they wanted (yikes) Charla/Mirna to win, I screamed WHAT?? in Flipiit fashion.
Wait till they watch all the episodes, they'll eat those words.
Charla, charla, charla...can you not follow instructions? They should have taken her GPS away, and made her find her way out. "don't you guys cut the grass?" I'll give her Too Hot to Handle!
I have a terrible feeling Eric/Danielle are going to win the whole enchilada. I'm with Peg, if E/D or C/M win, not only am I moving to Canada, I'm moving in with Ms T.

Sweet! If we bring Flipit along it can be like Three's Company!

Peg, you can be the female Larry downstairs.

[giffordsaz]

If Charla and Mirna win, I'm moving to Canada.

I think as many times as this has been stated no one has done it... Streisand, Baldwin, Barbra Boxer, Rosie, Gore, Pauly Shore...... Peg, May,---is this a group you want to be in??? and Ms. Tumnis.... would you take this group, minus Peg and May?
And would you PLEASE take back Celien Dion
I think if you are looking to leave Guam looked like the place to be... and you won't even have to cut the grass! Sweet......
So if Eric and D-Whine win I might head to Guam... or San Diego.... But I have to admit... the Beauty Queens deserve to win --- they fought so well this whole race.
But if Mirna and Charla win I will not shead a tear... I might even be pulling for Charla quiet a bit. Chris has shown me the light and I still wish the teams would be mixed up...because I do not like Mirna, but my like for Charla so out weighs it I kinda want them to win!
Either way CHICKS RULE

[Pegster]

I'm Larry?? Seriously? I guess I should be thankful I'm not the female Mr. Farley - that's Tabby :w00t:

We can all head down to the Regal Beagle after a day of shenanigans!

[LonnaSaur]

How wonderful are Danny and Oswald? When they said they were going to be pusing each other's wheelchairs at the gay nursing home I really lost it. It was so sweet and I just love them. I was hoping they would win but now I can root for the BQ's without feeling guilty!

[Ms. Tumnus]

I would have made you someone better, but it was either Larry, the Farleys, or the other landlords they had (who the hell were they?) and I figured Larry was a bit better than that.

I just watched the Finish Line (the online TAR show) and of course Danny and Oswald were hillarious. Oswald was saying that he was losing his focus cause it had been so long without nooky. Apparently he wasn't even allowed to take matters into his own hands (Danny forbade it). he was also joking that he should have been good at finding men in bushes. I love them.

[angiemarie]

The Cha-Chas are gone. :crying:

I wonder if Danny and Oswald had run this leg perfectly they would have been able to beat the 30 minute penalty? It seemed like the teams were pretty close together, not much chance of getting a big lead.

That airplane scrubbing looked hard, I definitely would have done the airplane thing. It really looked like a lot of fun.


I'm rooting for the BQ's, Charla & Mirna, then Eric & Danielle. I would really like to see an all girl team win this thing finally!

Come and knock on our door.....

[photochild]

Great, thanks to you guys I'm alternating between the matchmaker song from Fiddler on the Roof and now the Three's Company theme. I'm surprised my brain hasn't just shut down completely.

[chooch850]

It was the Ropers who lived downstairs..... Mr. Farley was Don Knotts.



Didn't the BQ's have a big fight last year just before they got eliminated. If I remember, they were on a boat in Vietnam. They had a big fight about taking the wrong boat, and one of them was crying. I hope the fight they showed for next week isn't because they made a big mistake.....

.....but then why else would they be fighting???? DUH.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

It was the Ropers who lived downstairs..... Mr. Farley was Don Knotts.

I think it was Mr. Furley, not Farley. I could look it up - but this damned Vista - well it limits me gosh darn it.

[Chris]

Okay, so I just saw the episode b/c I was busy last night but can I say...

HELLS. YEAH.

CHARLA AND MIRNA FOR THE WIN!!!

I love them. I hope they win. They've done a terrific job this season, overcome obstacle after obstacle, and they've never, ever given up. They are the perfect team to be in the Final Three and the perfect winners of the Amazing Race All-Stars!

I'll make sure to bring the party train thru Canada!

You are no Meryl Streep, Mirna.
Do you really think she was serious? I got the impression that she knows she does it and was making fun of herself for it.

Great, thanks to you guys I'm alternating between the matchmaker song from Fiddler on the Roof and now the Three's Company theme. I'm surprised my brain hasn't just shut down completely.
I could be worse. I'm still singing "sex and candy" from that post, like, a month ago!

[tvaholic]

I'm I evil in that I thought the Teletubbies comment was the funniest thing I've heard all season??!!:lol: :lol:

[Pekmboyd]

They had a bunch of good one-liners didn't they? I'd love an all Danny & Oswald quote recap of the season at some point :)

[Schoonie]

Can I just say that the funniest part was that Charla/Mirna did a food drop to people that DO NOT EXIST? They're all "we love helping people", but Phil said it was a training exercise. This means that there were no actual people.

I thought it was pretty funny that part of the drop was kitty litter. Who needs Tidy Cat in a real emergency?

Even cats cannot be spared the patronizing humanitarian support of Team CrazyPants. (Actually, I thought it was dog food, guess I didn't watch close enough)

You are obviously underestimating the nutritional value of clumping crystals.

And they were so concerned about the welfare of their non-existant charges that they had to be told not to treat the things like garbage.

Oh, and I'm sure all the people working the charity drop tell them to hurry up - rapido already, we have more important things to worry about - this is a race!

[TinkerbellAPixie]

OOH that reminds me of something I had completely forgotten - when he told them to not throw things around like garbage - Myrna said ok and then flipped her thing into the box all willy nilly and then went running her crazy run back to the pallet. The way she looked when she was running - was so ridiculus I had to rewind and replay it 3 times. :blush:

[FairyDusted]

Seriously. Rolls eyes.

Chris!!!! Make sure the train runs through Ottawa. I won't celebrate a Shmyrna win, but if drinking is involved, I'll be there.

That was on par with the knight face plant. Oh, and has no one mentionned that Charla fell AGAIN?

[may1]

If you are, then so am I.:coolshades:

Thats right Ms. T, Charla did do a face plant!!!!!

I have ridden on a C-141 that was loaded to the gills with cargo and I can tell you for a fact it takes forever to pack and balance those crates.... They were not taking that box Myrna and Charla tired to pack anywhere,,, it would have taken too long to balance it onto the plane. And the way they packed it.... yeah, right, that's the way the military brings stuff to you....
""'here is some aid for you! packed with care by Crappy Pack""

And I can will tell you that they did not let them get by like that cleaning PART of that jet. I have gone through inspections (in the hospital squadron) where I used white shoe polish on the door seal of a refrigerator.... each week.. I would repolish that damn seal.... my refrigerator now has a black seal.... I checked that before I bought the sucker!

[Pekmboyd]

Since I had to rewatch the episode to do the Fantasy TAR scores, I happened to notice a Mickey Mouse symbol on a street sign in Guam. I wasn't aware of a Disney park in (on?) Guam??

I'm fairly certain that was while they were still in China. Maybe coming off the ferry and going to the airport?

[Pekmboyd]

Yeah you're probably right. Still funny though :)

[tvaholic]

I read on realityblurred.com today that the box they packed, while it didn't get dropped that day, was eventually dropped. And the exercise was truly an exercise they run frequently & were nice enought to let AR in on it that day for the challenge, which makes me just hate Mirna more for asking them to go quicker since they were in a race. I think between that & Charla's idiot moves with the GPS, they are now on Homeland Security's watch list-strip search at every flight from here on out, just for fun.

OOOOOO - what if that's what determines the winner? They miss their last flight because it takes too long to get through airport security! :)

That would be awesome. You know, has anyone ever addressed that issue, why they (the contestants) never get pulled aside on a "random" search? Yeah, it's obvious they are on a show, but if it's as "random" as they say...

Good question. My Brother jokes that he can never be on TAR because since we have a Middle Eastern last name - he can not travel without getting pulled out of line. The boy was born and raised in America and doesn't speak a word of Farsi, but when he flies he has to leave for the airport a good 2 hours early to plan for it.

My mom is a 60 year old blonde lady with an Italian last name. She gets pulled out of line almost every time she flies. She thinks it's funny that they are suspicious of her. I tell her it's because she has shifty eyes.

I have a completely non-ethnic last name, but I too am cursed with securityredflagitis. It started when I flew last-minute one-way about 4 years ago, and has continued ever since. Even my son has been patted down, at 7 weeks old.
