The Amazing Race 8

Tue Sep 27, 2005 9:18 pm

It premieres tonight on CBS.

I can't wait for it. I watched last season and got instantly hooked.

This time, its 10 teams of 4, which should make it interesting. :)

I know! I can't wait! I'm so excited, now I have something to watch for Tuesday!

It won't fill the Big Brother void for sure but it will keep me entertained.

I've been waiting for the next Amazing Race for a while now.

I get to watch Canadian Antiques Roadshow on the CBC, followed by House on Global, followed by The Amazing Race on CTV.

I hope they come to Canada this time.
I'm not counting when they went only to Calgary, in winter, to do winter sports, and then left right away.

First off....

GOOD LORD HOW ANNOYING IS THAT ONE FAMILY!!!!!!
GOD they were so freakin annoying. The total lack of respect from the boys.. then the annoying mom that just egged them on.
UGH I wanted to rip their heads off.. but figured they'd just keep opening their big yaps.

Just BLEH... I hope they get eliminated next episode b/c I can't stand listening to them.

I like the team that came in 9th (the ones that came in last before the eliminated team).

The little girl running and beating the other team was priceless. But they are creepy.

The Italian family... I'm so glad I'm only half Italian. It's good enough for me. I'd never want to be like that.

The family that was all pro-God. Usually I have no problem with those kind of people (except when they use it to be rude like in previous seasons) but it was actually kinda funny with them. Like when they asked the man that gave them a map if he knew the Lord. What an odd way to pose that question. If they asked me I would have said something like "Yes I play poker with him on Friday nights"...

I didn't hate this as much as I thought I was going to (I guess I wasn't expecting there to be so many differnet types of families...)

Calgary at COP to be exact, fun stuff.
I enjoy the team that came last as well, there cool. Also rooting for the team which lost their dad from the accident, they seem pretty cool as well, sad when the brake didn't work, kinda freaky actually.

It is sad that their dad/husband died... But I thought it was hilarious when they lost control of their buggy :P
I was laughing my butt off the entire time. I mean of course if someone had gotten badly hurt it wouldn't have been funny.


I like the Brothers Sister team. They were the 9th team right?
Those brothers are hilarious.. you know they say alot of that stuff just to get a rise out of their sister.

I'm also cheering for the Dad and Son-in-Laws team. They seem pretty funny and cool. I hope they do well :)

I was so scared that the 9th place team were getting eliminated. :P They're the only team with hot people on it. :P

:) The only Black family got eliminated. Yes, that was supposed to be a pun. No, it wasn't supposed to be funny. :)

The only reason I'm happy is because I don't want a little kid to win. :P

And, a true What the Heck? moment of the episode: the little kid singing some demented version of She'll Be Coming By the Mountain.

I know! I wanted to push that kid out of the cart, I was like "LEARN HOW TO SING!". Seriously, stupid child.

As for the Italian family, I loved all the fighting. Although those kids need to learn how to be more respectful towards their parents, calling your dad a "kittens" is very rude. I just wanted to go their and smack the crap out of both of them.

The Black Family being eliminated was a bit sad but the kids were so annoying. The little one in that family was like "DAD! HELP ME! I'm lying a bit over a small little stream, help me!" I was like, shutup and pull yourself up. God.

All in all, good episode.

Go Siblings!

Meh, the episode wasn't bad, but nothing amazing. Probably because they didn't leave the states, but thats me.

I like the team whose Dad was killed. They are my favourite right now. The mom got run over by an Omish buggy!

The Italian team is just ugh, leave.

The Black Family (I laughed whenever they said it, it seemed so pollitically incorect, but it was there name :P) was annoying. The kids were annoying, and I'm happy they got eliminated. Although, I would have prefered the Italians.

Wed Sep 28, 2005 8:26 pm

I doubt they'll leave the states. :(

Because the next episode has to do with the Civil War of America.

Blah.


Watched 5 minutes and ditched it. I didn't like it.

Is the theme for this year's amazing race "Learn the History of America 101" Cause, it's getting kinda..akward. I just want the team with the small boy and girl to leave, their annoying parents not so bad the kids, urgh.

I actually really like the little kids family. They were totally kicking butt the whole way. And you can quote me here- I think they will go a long way.

I also like the family that lost their dad- I don't know why, I just do.

Okay, that Italian family though... I was ready to shoot them. How dissrespectful. Geesh.

I actually wouldn't mind an all US edition.

But wouldn't it defeat the purpose of the theme, "A race around the world"?
