Amazing Race 1/18 *SPOILERS*

[Chovexani]

The nightmare is over! Wifebeater and the Shrew are OUTTA HERE!!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! :toast::party::toast::party:

I'll type something more coherent once the buzz wears off, I promise. :P

[Orangepeel]

1. Woo hoo!

So once you've been yielded, does that mean that you can't yield someone else who is behind you?

[Chovexani]

2. I think so.

I've never been really clear on how the yield works, I only started watching last season.

[Piperay]

7. I think the people who use the yield can

never use it again, not totally sure. :shrug:

[lazarus]

8. There's only one chance to yield at a Yield stop

That also prevents all the teams from loading up yields on one strong team.

[qanda]

3. My children were dancing around the living room

I honestly thought they would be the winners because the people I hate the most usually end up winning. But I'm so glad they are gone!

[Patiod]

4. okay, I'll be a contrarian

This round (and this round only) I kind of liked them - I liked that Victoria borrowed a shirt to go into the church - didn't go into the church in a bra or little scanty top. Just thought it was a lot more respectful of another culture than the other racers (at least Aaron wore a shirt!)

But I'll be glad to have them out. Now to get out Kendra "why do they have so many kids?" the model.

I shouldn't watch this show - it raises my blood pressure.

[Orangepeel]

5. at least she liked these Africans better than the other Africans

apparently, the people is *this* "third world country" weren't as bad because they like being poor.

[Piperay]

6. Kendra needs to go next

she is almost as repulsive as Jonathan. :puke:

[Chovexani]

15. Totally!

When KKKendra said the kids were so cute and she wanted to take them home, I assume she meant she'd love to have them as domestics.

HATE.

Lori and Bolo are still my favorites--I chuckled when Bolo conked his head getting on the plane, and thought it was really neat of Lori to kneel before the priest in the church--but I also still love Kris and Jon and would be happy if they won too. Adam & Rebecca get on my damn nerves but they bring the funny (Adam unintentionally so), so I don't mind them too much. Freddy & Kendra completely have to go, though. Preferably in a really humiliating way.

[lazarus]

9. We eat at an Ethiopian restaurant here in San Diego

And I can tell you the Ethiopians we know are just as sweet and friendly as the folks on the show.

I think the little girl who kept saying Hi to everyone stole the show.

[Phentex]

10. the kids were adorable.

"Hello!" :)

[FormerDittoHead]

13. Yes, cute as anything... n/t

[Chovexani]

17. That little girl is tied as my favorite local so far

The other being the Hungarian cab driver. Finito! :D

Ethiopia is such a beautiful country, it's a shame that the view most Americans have of it is the dusty wasteland it was in the '80s during the big famine. I especially loved the church, what a neat place.

My mom said the "worshippers" probably weren't worshippers, they were performing an exorcism to get Assathan off the race. :D

[Phentex]

11. One donkey...one little donkey....

took an ass to get rid of an ass!

WHOO HOOOOO!!!

eee aw ee aw ee aw! :kick:

[Chovexani]

16. Hysterical wasn't it?

I thought it was completely fitting that they were done in by an ass. Oh, and a donkey too. :P

[Enraged_Ape]

12. I wept at the end

I'm just...just so happy...(sniff)

Bye, ASSCLOWNS!!

[Qanisqineq]

14. I was speechless I was so happy

If it wasn't Jonathan beating or screaming at Victoria, it was Victoria whining and shrieking. Gawd, my ears. When she cut her finger I thought she'd cut her damn finger OFF. Now I am rooting for anyone just so long as Freddy/Kendra are gone soon. Kris and Jon are my favorites but seem to be having problems lately.

I would love to be on this show but just watching it raises my blood pressure, I can't imagine how stressful it would be playing.

[Dem Agog]

18. Victoria had a huge black eye

Did anyone else notice Victoria had a really bad black eye at the end of the race? Her right eye was black and swollen. What's up with that?

[Chovexani]

19. A lot of people on TWoP said that

I'll have to DL the ep and watch it again. I didn't notice it myself because I was so busy doing the Snoopy Dance when they were Philiminated.

[Dem Agog]

20. Really?

I'm on page 18 of the thread at TWOP hoping to find someone else noticing it but no one has yet. I'll keep hunting. 38 pages on the thread so far. wow.

[Chovexani]

21. The J/V thread

People have mentioned it a few times on the Assathan/Victoria thread.

[lazarus]

22. I saw her black eye

Although Haele thinks it could be her makeup.

[Orangepeel]

23. could it have been dirt?

she was muddy from the hut thing.

[lazarus]

25. They were all cleaned up from that, looks like

I'll be watching it again soon, but we replayed it a couple of times, and it looked like a shiner to me.

[Piperay]

24. I saw it too

though I suppose it could have been black eyeliner or mascara that smeared from crying but it looked like a lot for it to be makeup. :shrug:

[skippysmom]

26. Thank God!!!

I am so happy they are gone. They were ruining my enjoyment of the show.

The only unfortunate thing is that I can't get the disturbing image of Jonathan in his red droppy undies out of my mind. Blech!!!!
