Episode 5 of 12

FYI, full slate of College Hoops on CBS along with the NCAA Selection show. Small possibility you may need to pad if you're in the East and Central markets.

Winona is just a terrible teammate but Chuck is whipped. She's done 1 roadblock? And was even forced to do that one on the first episode. She should have done the bizarre ode to socialism roadblock but made Chuck do it. That was nothing physical about it. They got lucky David and Conner had to quit.

Sorry to see David and Conner go. Seems like they truly are nice people who really had bad luck with the injury. Hopefully they recover and come back for an unfinished business edition.

Winona did get in a funny line though. "We need 12 limes and a husband that listens."

this episode made me hungry for pho.

Mmm, pho.

A crappy leg for viewers since we knew who was coming in last.

sven

Good riddance to team crybaby.

There's no chance pho is any good.

Um, what?

Got tired of them threatening to quit so I'm glad they finally went through with it.


Max is starting to grow on me. I've been a fan of Katie's almost from the get go but couldn't stand Max but now I sort of get it.

I'm not really sure what's going on with Joey and Meghan? Are they pretending to be a real couple or do they just do internet skits together? There is not a chance in the world that that guy likes women.

I actually agree with this. I'm sorry for what they've been through but what that kid did at the end of the last episode was pretty shady.

As for this episode, I don't know if its because of how they are editing it or what but Wynona just comes across as lazy. Poor Chuck.

Meghan and Joey met somewhere and decided to do the internet videos together. They are not a couple but could be pretending to be one on the race for reasons they only know. Meghan has a boyfriend and Joey is gay and has a boyfriend. I've been watching Meghans video recaps of the AR episodes and theres links to other videos of Meghan and her boyfriend doing various stuff together. Theres also a video of a party where everyone is watching the first episode of the AR and we see Joey getting very close to a male on the couch.

Who saids the title? and who has the cool tan? Someone to Max?

Joey is gay? You're kidding.

I think it was Pam or Winnie that said it to Max when they got to the first destination in Vietnam.

I was thinking with the double u-turn, it would be a non-elim leg even without the father/son withdrawal, but then when they bunched everyone up at the beginning, a couple was going home.

I think Winona is a decent racer, it's Chuck that doesn't think things out or read things and just goes and does whatever.

Team country singers are just as dumb. It almost seemed like they poached the players already on the board.

Barth

Maybe it's just me but I feel like most of these teams are terrible. Even the teams that come in first are always screaming where do we go, what do we do! Nobody is dominant so it should be a crazy finish but most of these teams wouldn't even sniff a final leg on most seasons (except maybe the family season). It might be that I'm just burnt out watching around 3 seasons a year.

Josh-da-man

Yeah, no teams really stand out, except maybe for Dave and Connor. Without the injury, they probably would have been in a good position to take the whole thing.

Everyone seems like a bunch of teams that would get eliminated early in any other season.

sven

Pam or Winnie said it to Max yes.

Cardsfan111

I might be wrong, but it seemed like they may have said it to the camera about Max, indicating how they were being nice to them.

Posted this in the current Hawaii 5-0 thread but figured it could go here as well.

The latest episode of Hawaii 5-0 had a roller derby theme. They could have had the roller derby moms Mona and Beth (who are taking part in the latest edition-Amazing Race Season 22) show up as members of the Diamond Dolls or Sirens. (Not that Hawaii 5-0 needs the boost but there could have been promotion during Sundays episode of Amazing Race - see Mona and Beth our Roller Derby moms take part in a roller-derby theme episode of Hawaii 5-0 - this Monday night! 10:00 pm ET - only on CBS!)

Hawaii 5-0 would have returned the favor that Amazing Race as during Season 20 - Taylor Wily aka Kamekona handed out clues to the teams while they are in Hawaii. "In this Leg's first Roadblock, teams had to make a traditional Japanese treat brought to Hawaii known as shave ice. Using a katana, they would have to shave enough ice to fill a bucket to a given line. Once complete, actor Taylor Wily would give them their next clue."

After that happened, I was thinking that they could have had a Amazing Race theme episode of Hawaii 5-0 - like one of the contestants gets killed during a task in Hawaii and the other contestants and even host Phil Koeghan are suspects. The crew solves the case and two of them are invited to take part in the next edition of Amazing Race - we then see footage of them at the starting line and Phil does his Go! Danny would then fall down at the start like some contestants have done in the past - or we see Phil eliminating Steve and Danny at the mat on the first leg. LOL!

Thanks for the info about the title - it was indeed Pam or Winnie talking about Max.

I liked Dave and Connor. Sucked to see them have to pull out. But, with Dave's injury there was just no way they could continue.

If they do a 2nd Unfinished Business edition, I'd like to see them get another shot. But, with Dave's injury and his age, it's going to be awhile. I believe it takes at least 18 months to fully recover from a ruptured achilles.

That Pho challenge was kind of stupid other than the racers trying to gather the correct ingredients. That "Chef" liked all their dishes and only ate 1 damn piece of meat.

DJariya

Pho is actually really bland. It's not bad noodle soup by any means, but you need to add alot of condiments to give it some taste.

Looks like some people were offended that about last weeks episode for using the shot down B-52 as a backdrop to the U-Turn and for airing the communist propaganda song.

I guess they don't mind us seeing other cultures as long as it's all pro-america

I meant to be outraged about that, but I forgot.
