Re: The Amazing Race Season 27- Fall 2015

The Texans sure blew their express pass. They also seem too arrogant but I'm thinking this will knock them down a peg. They all seemed to enjoy the welcoming ceremony except for the mom of the mother and son team. I think she's hard to please in general.

Side note, my hubby is from South Africa with his daughter still there so we visit fairly regularly. Last year we went to Zimbabwe and Victoria Falls and stayed at the same hotel. It gave me some nice flashbacks.

Oh, lucky you, beardie, to have seen that spectacular sight personally.

Usually Moms and offspring on TAR are sympathetic types you tend to pull for but not this time. I won't miss them when they're gone and I don't think they are in for the long haul.

Still not in love with any of the teams. . The reporters might be the least annoying and the paparazzi have made it to the top of most annoying.

by **Lesallee** Sat Oct 24, 2015 1:45 pm

Trying hard to pick a couple of teams to pull for! Actually I rather like the dentists, Cindy and Rick (?), not sure of her name. But I don't know how competitive they will be.

If Logan had done any more moaning I think I would have fed him to the crocs!

I'm glad the usual front running teams didn't win the leg last night. It gets boring when the same people win all the time. One of TAR's charms is how fate and circumstances can throw a monkey wrench into the best laid team plan and cause a complete upset.

Well I missed the end of the show last night so I don't know if anyone was eliminated or not - it would have been fine with me if the Paparazzi'a went home. I just wanted that guy to shut up at the shark tank. I do have a favorite team now and it is the reporters. I still don't like the green team but I like the paparazzi even less.

The athletes went home last night. Wish it was the paparazzi...

by **SLA44** Sat Oct 24, 2015 5:25 pm

Thanks - I wish it would have been the paparazzi also.

by **Lesallee** Sat Oct 31, 2015 7:53 pm

It's official, I cannot abide that Justin! May he go down in flames soon. I am liking Rick and Cindy more every outing.

by beardiedawg Sat Oct 31, 2015 8:06 pm

Yeah, he was a giant butt head to his girlfriend.

Yes he was - AGAIN!!!! I wish they would go home but of course they had to come in first on the last leg of the race - UGH.

by **Lesallee** Sat Nov 07, 2015 1:05 pm

Please, please don't let that Neanderthal Justin win this whole thing! I just want to shake Diana and tell her to stop taking the abuse that nit wit dishes out to her. She seems to believe every miscue is her fault just as Justin tells her it is.

Too many of the other teams are giving up hope of catching Cave Man and his servant and they can't do that. At this point I am all for ABJ!

by **SLA44** Sat Nov 07, 2015 4:43 pm

I know I was so hoping that the Reporters would beat them last night but no luck there. I was sorry to see the dentist team (?) team go home last night but they took it very well. I couldn't figure out why they were sitting at that bus stop when everyone else had gotten on transportation elsewhere. They lost a ton of time there. Personally I would have rather seen the mom and son team leave before the dentists. But then I want the green team and the paparazzi's gone before anyone else that is left.

by **SLA44** Sat Nov 14, 2015 1:02 am

The Green Team came in 1st again. I am really pulling for the Reporters but I have to admit that the Texans really impressed me tonight they way they were looking out for the two gals.

by **Lesallee** Sat Nov 14, 2015 1:22 am

I am hoping against hope that egomaniac Justin will make a huge error and if not eliminated, at least come in way behind. Sometimes when the editing shows a racer bragging continuously about their wonderful prowess the show is setting the scene for the braggart's downfall. I am hanging onto that shred of hope!

by **SLA44** Sat Nov 14, 2015 2:24 am

I am hanging on to the same hope Lesallee!

by **Lesallee** Sat Nov 21, 2015 10:43 am

Another episode and I am saying the same thing - grr, that egotistical Justin and his subservient gf came in first again! I can acknowledge they are playing the game better than anyone else but I don't have to like 'em! Are they going to be my most unfavourite winners of all time? I really hope not.

by **SLA44** Mon Nov 23, 2015 5:55 pm

Yes me too!! I was sorry to see the Texans go home. I just hope that the Reporters can somehow get in front of that Green Team. They are the team I am pulling for now for the win. I like them and like them as a couple.

by **Lesallee** Sat Nov 28, 2015 12:07 am

Missed the first half of TAR; turned it on just in time to see that obnoxious Green Team waltz in first AGAIN! So I promptly turned it off. It is boring, boring, boring to have one couple constantly win the legs, especially a couple I dislike. Don't they ever run into some bad luck, a bad traffic jam or get lost or something?

by **SLA44** Sat Nov 28, 2015 12:09 am

I didn't really care for the mom and son team but I really really wish it had been the paparazzi's that had gone home. That guy could drive a person to drink! To me they are much worse than the Green Team.

by **Lesallee** Fri Dec 04, 2015 11:57 pm

Well that sucks! Green team slides in again just when I had my hopes up they were going. Oh man, I hope they don't win, I cannot abide that arrogant fool.

by **SLA44** Sat Dec 05, 2015 12:04 am

Yep ITA with you Lesallee!!! Let's hope they screw up big time again and I can't say that I want the Paparazzi's to win either - I can't stand to listen to them argue all the time. I really hope that the Reporters win.

by **Lesallee** Fri Dec 11, 2015 11:58 pm

Kelsey and Joey! Thank goodness! I was trying to brace myself for the Green Team to win, very reluctantly it's true, but yay, they didn't. That hundred bucks Justin was too cheap to part with cost him a million.

by **SLA44** Sat Dec 12, 2015 12:05 am

YAY!!!! So glad Kelsey and Joey won - they were pleasant to each other the whole game through and I was pulling for them all along. This one was a good ending for me and I also was worried that the Green Team was going to sneak past and win and so glad Justin hung on to that $100 bill.

by beardiedawg Tue Dec 15, 2015 1:56 pm

Finally caught up watching after my vacation. I think we've all been rooting for the reporters from a long time ago. The Texans and cheerleaders grew on me but for the most part, this season had the most unlikable cast.

I'm sure down the road, we'll have another show of previous contestants and we'll be stuck watching the green team once again.

by **Lesallee** Tue Dec 15, 2015 2:03 pm

I also think this cast was perhaps the poorest in TAR history. The producers will I hope, learn from this because in a show like this the racers have to project something besides disgust to draw viewers in. For the very first time I turned the show off in mid episode several times.

Oh well, come Feb. we have a whole new race to watch - may it be a good one!
