The Amazing Race on CBS

[Tyjenks]

Did anyone watch this? My wife watched and in the interest of spending good, quality family TV time with her I watched it off and on. Last night was the finale. I guess I could put a spoiler warning before I talk about who won, but I cannot imagine nor want to live in a world where someone records the Amazing Race to make sure and view it later.

Anyway, the winner was a guy/ girl 'friend' team. She whined and wanted to quit many times until last night my head was about to implode with the constant bitching, moaning, and threatening to desert her teammate. Unthinking moody witch was going to bail on him without any thought as to how it would affect her 'best' friend. The only possible reason he could have put up with her shit is he still thinks he is going to get laid. Well, that and the half million bucks. I am not sure I could take the copious amounts of bitching for 1/2 mil., but a good lay, I guess maybe.

The moral of this story; you can be the laziest, most self-centerd, whiny bitch on the planet and still become rich and famous. And is that not the American Way?

Yeah, I watched it, mostly because I had caught a two hour episode a few weeks back that familiarized me with the final participants. If you want to see the level of rage that Flo inspired, you should check the Television Without Pity forums (http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/ijsbb/forum.cgi?cn=79) on the subject -- I'm amazed that people can become so emotionally invested in a program that they wept when Flo won. (Tears of hate, apparently.)

Anyhow, Flo was a harridan and a child, but I didn't mind provided I just thought of her as eye candy. Just be hopeful that she doesn't go anything important, and remains a PR/marketing flack or whatever she did prior to the show.

Her halter tops did keep me from leaving the room and some of the slow motion, stomping around, pouting shots. I told my wife I knew exactly what she needed and would happily provide it to 'straighten' her out. :)

I can just imagine the message board tirades. :lol: My wife wanted them to lose. Badly. Frankly, the old couple annoyed me much more. Poor losers and poor winners when they were in the lead. One of the contestants remarked earlier in the season that he was a great example of the Ugly American. Always bitching at her to hurry and then when she was ahead of him he would shout not to get too far ahead of him. Constantly talking down to people of other countrys when they were guests in those countrys. Ugh! If those two were my parents, I would have run away from home when I was 13.
