The Amazing Race 9 -- 4/12/06 8PM


I have to think it will be non-elimination or To Be Continued this week. I've been thinking that it might be better if they ditched non-eliminations completely in favor of more extended legs. The race is more challenging with zero non-eliminations and I don't feel cheated as viewer having watched a leg that was completely meaningless.

Regardless of the outcome, it looks like this episode should be a good one.

I think it will be non-philim as well, and team MoJo will come in last. They seem to be getting a little frazzled, and Ray & Yolanda are due for a good leg where they don't get lost.

Lake is the next one to go, IMO. But this could be a non-elimination, as I thought that there would be one last week.

Calling his wife a bitch on tv is a little harsh IMO.

Yeah, that shocked me. They have little kids, too, don't they? I'm sure they'll be talking to their mother like that in a few years since they hear it from dad. They'll be like that Italian family on the Family Edition.

Glad he is gone. He almost makes Jonathan look like a nice husband.

Lake and Michelle were also on the bus as I recall, so they also would have a 15 penalty, so the count down really didn't mean anything.

Yup.

Also nice to see Ray and Yolanda finish with the humans this week.

And Ray's face when he saw the penalty was priceless....almost "Its because Im Black, right!"

Holy Crap!! They made a Da Vinci Code movie?!? Thank you Amazing Race producers for <html>whoring out </html> using your show to get the word out.

Seriously, they sent all the teams to Rome, the Eternal City, for no other reason than a lame movie tie-in? "Breaking the Code" required putting one sheet of paper on top of another?

Can the FCC please ban bungee jumping from all future reality shows?

Spoiler:
According to the CBS site, there are five episodes left. There are five teams left, so, assuming the normal three team finale, there has to be a non-elimination leg coming up. The producers must think that bunching all the non-elimination legs near the end of the race is an "unexpected and clever twist"

Did the picture on this episode look different to anybody else?

It looked to me like they filmed it in a different manner, but I don't know if that was a show thing or a local station thing.

I almost pissed myself laughing when Barry backed into the tree.

I played Fran's reaction back a dozen times.

Lake was an idiot and deserved to get booted. Michelle's a moron for staying with that abusive shmuck.
