The Amazing Race 14 -- "He Made Me Look Like Alice Cooper" -- 5/3/09

Amazing Race 14

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


The four remaining teams continue to race in Beijing, China, on the penultimate leg of the race. The pairs munch on exotic Chinese food, including fried scorpion, and encounter the race's second U-Turn. Phil Keoghan is the host.



Can't wait to see them sample the Chinese "snacks."

Next week is the season finale.

I think Tammy & Victor picked the wrong team to U-Turn. Margie and Luke are a bigger threat because they're not prone to the fuck ups the other two teams seem to do to themselves.

That Cara sure can pack it down! Jaime is still annoying as hell, but I'm glad they made it into the final three over the sisters.

She couldn't pee on herself for a million? Or is there a rule that forces racers to expel all urine before checking in at the pitstop to greet Phil?

I totally agree. She must not have cared about the million enough. They didn't deserve to be in the final three since Jen couldn't wait. She also didn't seem to hurry eating even after the redheads showed up. She could've scarfed it down even if it made her throw it back up! I can't stand the redheads and hate that I still have to watch them though. They are so whiny and nasty. And Luke was again a big wuss and made his mom do the road block. He hasn't pulled his weight at all.

Agreed. Margie is the reason they are in the final three. That one bitchy cheerleader was working my last nerve. I wanted her to shut up already!

It's amusing how old habits die hard for Victor. Ok Tammy, you can tell the chef the order...then he talks over her. On the plus side, he did rock the food challenge.

It's a good thing for Jaime that she's an attractive woman. Cara must have the patience of a saint.

All these years watching the Amazing Race with their manufacturered drama finishes it's never the other team. Unless you see both teams on the screen at the same time it's always the team that was leading. I was stunned when Jaime and Cara finished. And because Jen had to pee. I just can't understand not being able to wait in that scenario.

The sisters didn't deserve to continue on if she wasn't willing to hold it or just pee on herself.

I would have peed on the pitstop for a chance at a million. And it would be a great story to tell. I really hope Jaime get screw next week. Nice tits but the worse personality ever.

I cheered (get it?) when Jaime and Cara finished ahead of the sisters. I'd been running and peeing on myself to get to that finish line.

Also looking forward to the

I "celebrated" as well when Jaime and Cara made it into the final three. I'll admit, I've been rooting for them to win since the beginning of the season, though I think Victor and Tammy are more deserving. I have only predicted a reality show winner once. My track record isn't so good.

Re: The Amazing Race 14 -- "He Made Me Look Like Alice Cooper" -- 5/3/09

I don't know how much control they have over this, but that is just too big of an advantage to give a team two legs of the race, to determine the final 3 no less, in a foreign country where they speak the language, have been there before, know locations, etc.

Not that I'm not happy for Tammy and Victor.

As much I defended Luke in the past, he wore me out tonight. It was bad enough with his whining doing the make-up on his mom, but when they get to the tough part of eating gross food he immediately told Margie to do it. But as much as he doesn't deserve it, Margie deserves it more. In fact, I wish she could win the race alone.

The cheerleaders don't annoy me that much. I guess because their bitching is more hurtful to themselves and they don't seem like they're really nasty to others, I can live with their drama/noise. I am not good with names, but whichever one of those girls at the food, really deserves a heck of a lot of credit. Yes, the peeing might have been the difference, but it never comes to do that if that girl doesn't eat that sickening food like a champion. I did not think they would catch up.

Those were the 3 I wanted and, honestly, will be happy no matter which one of those teams wins.

I would think the locations are mapped out before casting. Also, how do they know Victor and Tammy would make it this far?

Re: The Amazing Race 14 -- "He Made Me Look Like Alice Cooper" -- 5/3/09

I hate Margie and Luke ... Luke is a big baby and makes his mother do all the hard roadblocks. I hate them. Victor and Tammy really got an unfair advantage on these past two legs and I hated that they u-turned the sisters. I have a feeling that the sister's taxi ended getting lost and they probably were a bit behind and so going to the restroom probably didn't do them end. URGH. I do not like any of the remaining teams for the first time I have no one to root for and three teams to root against. I guess if anyone but Luke wins, I will be okay.

I agree with Zuffy. It may have been an advantage, but they had to get there first, and they've been among the top teams the whole race. There is nothing that prevents other teams from having learned foreign languages.

Luke sucks. Maybe Margie could team with Zach from Amazing Race 3 (you know..he won with the ball and chain wrapped around his ankle) for the next All-Stars.

Completely unfair that Tammy and Victor got 2 consecutive legs in a country where they know the language. That being said they're the only team that I like at this point. Luke is beyond annoying, his mother collapses a few days ago and you're still letting her do the hard challenges?

I am laughing now that 3 people calling it unfair. Folks, don't be so bias. It just happen that Victor and Tammy made it this far. If they didn't, this wouldn't be an issue.

Exactly, and it's not like it's the final leg or anything. Given how well they function as a team it's extremely unlikely that Tammy and Victor would have finished last even if they didn't speak Mandarin.

We've had final legs before in cities where some of the finalists live. That seems to a lot more of an unfair advanatage.

I think that's why I threw out the complaint with words to the effect of how much control the producers had. I still think if you cast a Chinese team and you have TWO legs of the race planned for determing the final 3 in China, you have to think "that's gonna be one hell of an advantage SHOULD Tammy and Victor get that far."

It's not like when a team learns Spanish in college or if some team happened to study Russian on a lark and used those things to their advantage in the game. They grew up exposed to all of that and had been there just recently.

And I'm not sure I would even care at all if it didn't happen to be 2 legs in a row and the ones directly determing the final 3.

I sure know if my mom had carried me for that long, I sure as heck would have been the one to immediately offer to eat that food...unless I was a total wimp. I've been late to believing it, but that's what Luke is. It wasn't even discussed. He "said" YOU DO IT immediately. That put me over the top with him.
