[Marc]

Brenchel! Oh lord..

[Marc]

Inital thoughts, I like Bopper/Mark, Nary/Jamie, Misa/Maiya, Dave/Cherie and Kerry/Stacy.

I don't like when they get big muscley people come in, because they're likely to win :bored: I like the underdogs!

[swinearefine]

I'm undecided about watching this.. I despise Brenchel and I do not want to watch them succeed at anything. And last year was AWFUL...

[Bluerang1]

Brenchel! Brenchel! Brenchel! Why I looked forward to this Season.

My life list involves going on this show, by the grace of God it comes true.

[SoBig]

Rooting for Brendon and Rachel and also those two old men from Kentucky.

[Bluerang1]

Misa and Maiya! Straight up the dumbest thing ever! >!< Could have got the Guidos out.

Anyway, I wanted a new race element for the 20th Season but none has been revealed yet.

And yay Rachel or noticing the empanada pattern. A keen eye like that will get her far.

And yay Sobig! The only other Brenchel fan I see around here >_>

[Liberty4eva]

Feel bad for the team that came in last. They could of and should of not been last but they were. It's a tough pill for them to swallow considering how they lost it.

[swinearefine]

Awful leg. Mostly luck, with no real chance for teams to catch up.

[Marc]

The sisters :bored: seriously. What the hell

I appreciate Brenchel's competitiveness, if they stay this way I may start to like them more!

[rk3388]

RACHEL AND BRENDON :DDDDD Theyre making the show atm and the season preview was all about rachel

[rk3388]

btw bluerang i like your alicia sig XD

[Jords]

Brechel :worship:

[Bluerang1]

btw bluerang i like your alicia sig XD

Yay appreciation! xD I should link to the creator though...

I don't feel bad for the sister. Being last to get the first clue, leaving their bag, getting stuck, they were last in waiting really. Not seeing Phil just sealed it.

[Marc]

Aw the clowns :(

[Marc]

It's sad to watch the underdogs fail, they're so happy go lucky as well bless

[Marc]

Good episode, loads of positions changing and there were two good tasks that allowed for people to catch up or overtake :)

Liking Brachel but as soon as she starts crying like a tit I hate her

[Bluerang1]

I was sure this was a non-elimination round, what a shocker. I'll miss the twins, but they were just... there.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Art/JJ hate awful, vile creatures
Brenchel slight like, but they're supremely overrated so I can't like them too much
Joey/Danny indifference
Bopper/Mark dislike
Nary/Jamie like
Rachel/Dave indifference, but slight dislike by association to Art/JJ
Kerri/Stacy <3
Vanessa/Ralph <3333

Vanessa gave Rachel a taste of her own medicine. Rachel's attacked plenty of people for no reason. Now when she gets attacked for no reason, "Brennan, we CAN'T be here anymore" :joker:

[lostalex]

Brenchel and the Rednecks are my favorites right now.

[BB4LIFE_SD]

Brendan & Rachel are the two reasons why I am not watching AR this season. I'll start watching once they are eliminated.

[Marc]

I'm hoping Nary & Jamie do well, I think they are my favourites, along with Bopper and Mark. Don't know why but I also like Brenchel :crazy:

[Marc]

Hoping Art & JJ slip up big time next leg of the race, they need to be humbled a little bit

[SoBig]

Its hard to root for Brendon and Rachel sometimes. Rachel is so whiny.

[Marc]

I hear that. mmhmm..

She's so annoying

[Bluerang1]

So Rachel was putting me off Brenchel, and Brendan with the quitting thing. Not on The Amazing Race thank you -_- But I liked them again at the end :)

[Marc]

They always say 'we'll just quit then'

[lostalex]

The army guy is really annoying me, can't stand him. Rachel is annoying, but i've watched her on BB twice so i'm used to it. I'm loving the Kentucky team, and it was nice he got some money to help his daughter.

[swinearefine]

I've only seen episodes 1 & 4, but I really hate this season. I find all the teams boring and unlikable.

[BB4LIFE_SD]

Can't say I blame you^.

I watched Rachel on BB twice which is more than enough for me.

[Marc]

Mark and Bopper getting money off Art & JJ was nice.

[swinearefine]

Mark and Bopper getting money off Art & JJ was nice.

I hope they get eliminated and remain poor; they're atrocious. I was so excited that they could be eliminated, but then the awful editing gave away that it was NEL about two minutes before it actually happened.

[Marc]

Really disliking Vanessa.. she's such a bitch

[Marc]

Art & JJ winning again :bored: I don't really want them to win, but if they keep this up then they deserve it.

[Marc]

:laugh: Brendan falling over.

[Marc]

Yes Nary & Jamie!! :D and Bopper and Mark! :D

[Bluerang1]

I can't stand Bopper and Mark and their Southern annoyiness. Their old, go away -_- And Bopper looks like that annoying twerp that stole the win from the cowboys.

Was scared for Brenchel there, they're looking good for next week though.

[Marc]

I think Brenchel just need to be calm and I'll like them :laugh:

Brendon is by far the lesser of two evils and I think he's doing a good job with calming her down (except last week with the Salami).

I really want Nary and Jamie to do well

[rk3388]

i love rachels tantrums thats wat made me love her in bb12 :joker:

[Marc]

You have to be light hearted with her, I find myself so annoyed with her but I just laugh it off cos she's such a brat :laugh:

[Marc]

Glad those guys are gone, I like it when underdogs win and they're physically fit and they could outrun easily

[Bluerang1]

Well they were meant to leave on the first episode so meh. Who got the fast forward first though? If they were second, stupid choice to still go after it.

[rk3388]

i read a spoiler that the team that got out was in the final 3. im mad because my favorite team was supposedly in the f3 by the same spoiler which is probably fake

[starry]

Really enjoying this series, watching it as Rachel is on it and the first time I have seen it. Happy with the eliminations so far as well. Next to go I would like Dave & Rachel or Art & JJ.

[Marc]

Well they were meant to leave on the first episode so meh. Who got the fast forward first though? If they were second, stupid choice to still go after it.

Yep they deserved to leave because of that.

[starry]

I would have liked the clowns to stay longer I suppose, but realistically they weren't going to last that long.

[Marc]

Nah, they were really nice people though.

[Macie Lightfoot]

This season's not that great. 17-18-19 were definitely a lot better.

[rk3388]

This season's not that great.17-18-19 were definitely a lot better.

O_o
is this a joke ?

[Macie Lightfoot]

O_o
is this a joke ?

Nope ^_^ 19 wasn't amazing by any means but definitely better than 20 so far.

[rk3388]

Nope ^_^ 19 wasn't amazing by any means but definitely better than 20 so far.

k lol good because imo its one of the worst seasons if not the worst season

[Macie Lightfoot]

I wouldn't say one of the worst. TAR7-11 weren't too spectacular and then 14-16 was a pretty awful run too. I'd rank 19 ahead of most of those seasons.

[starry]

Nah, they were really nice people though.

Yeh, but for me it's that they were a bit different to the others as well.

[Bluerang1]

No episode this week :(

[SoBig]

This show is boring. Survivor and Big Brother are a lot better.

[Marc]

No episode this week :(

:( I woke up all excited

[Marc]

This show is boring. Survivor and Big Brother are a lot better.

Then don't watch it :laugh:

[Marc]

:laugh: Nary and Jamie get found out! JJ and Art find out that theyre CIA agents

[Bluerang1]

Hate Art and JJ. How did Brenchel drop to 4th?

Screw whoever U-Turned Brenchel next week. I hate you. Hopefully they manage to stay in the game because it's definitely an elimination round.

Anywya, yay for Nary and Jaime.

[Bluerang1]

Urgh I'm mad Brenchel are getting U-Turned >:[

[Marc]

I'm glad Jamie & Nary survived!

Double U Turn next week :devil:

[Marc]

Urgh I'm mad Brenchel are getting U-Turned >:[

Yeah looks as if they're going to be U Turned! :mad:

And maybe possibly Art and JJ?

[Bluerang1]

^Hopefully but I'm pretty sure Brenchel will be leaving. Sadtimes :(

[Liberty4eva]

^Hopefully but I'm pretty sure Brenchel will be leaving. Sadtimes :(

I'm not so sure on that. These guys are intense competitors. Even though they haven't won a leg yet, they're still probably better competitors than Art/JJ and Dave/Rachel. I think they'll find a way to survive.

[Bluerang1]

^They better :D

[Marc]

I read a spoiler about Brenchel..

they make top 3 i think

[Macie Lightfoot]

Bleh this season's not very good. Nobody left is really likable and it's boring. Hopefully TAR21 is better

[starry]

Damn are people spoiling the next episode here? I don't want to know who gets u-turned until I watch it!

[Marc]

we're just picking up from the 'next week on the Amazing Race' preview at the end of last weeks episode.

Obviously they edit it in a way to make us this Brenchel get U-Turned, but I'm thinking they still survive, otherwise it would be boring to spoil it for us

[Marc]

Jamie & Nary!!!! :bawling:

God I hate Vanessa and Ralph

[Marc]

If Rachel & Dave win this season then I'll be disappointed, I just don't like them. :bored: Rachel is a whiny little bitch. I'd love Mark & Bopper to win

[BBfanUSA]

IDC who wins as long as it's not border patrol. They're complete asses. If I was Dave and Rachel i would be forming a alliance with Brenchel

[Marc]

Yeah same, they can lie and say they didn't want the green team to be eliminated, which is why they didn't U-Turn them :tongue:

I think I've seen spoilers for the top. 3 and it's interesting..

[BBfanUSA]

*SPOILERS*






Oh No Bopper and Mark :(

[Bluerang1]

India, again?!!! Good Detours and Road Block though.

Cricket>>>

I was sure this was an elimination round -_-

Previews always make me scared for Brenchel but that other girl, I hope she isn't hurt :o

I hate people leaving due to injury or taxi breakdowns.

[BBfanUSA]

I wonder how cricket works?

Looks like a really complex version of Baseball

[rk3388]

"these hair extensions cost 200$ :( "
:joker:

[rk3388]

SPOILER

K im mad. i like bopper and mark but im tired of the amazing race's blantant rigging. C'mon , they always give non elimination rounds to the people they think will be popualr -_-. and to give the non elimination to mark and bopper not once but TWICE- Its not fair.

[Macie Lightfoot]

They're supposedly predetermined *shrug*

[Marc]

Yay!!! :cheer2:

[Marc]

I wonder how cricket works?

Looks like a really complex version of Baseball

are you serious? :joker:

have you never watched cricket

[BBfanUSA]

are you serious? :joker:

have you never watched cricket

I live in America, we have to pay 50 bucks to watch it.

Even The Rugby World Cup is pay per view. So we hardly get that but It's on free telly sometimes.

[Marc]

Oh right, well it's pretty simple, hit the ball and make runs etc. There are more complexities with scoring and overs etc. But it's not really my favourite sport :tongue:

[rk3388]

They're supposedly predetermined *shrug*

*supposed to *
Just like hidden immunity idols in survivor are *supposed* to be well hidden.
Or how pandoras box in big brother US is *supposed to* be pre determined to

[Macie Lightfoot]

That's why I said supposedly...

[Bluerang1]

Shave your damn head Rachel! LOL

[Bluerang1]

Rachel sucks lol

Ralph and Vanessa straight-up have the worst luck in this race. And when they were in the lead...

Dammit I think I saw a spoiler for the Finale. Damn you twitter.

And props to Vanessa.

[rk3388]

i can only stand brenchel at this point, witht he obvious rigging for mark and bopper ( 2 non eliminations, and shaving fast forward )

[Bluerang1]

Dammitt!!!! D:<

Ad I'm sick of Davchel's win streak -_- They're probably going to win the whole thing.

But AMAZING episode. This season's best. The season had been pretty dull until now. Lived up to the title.

Also, Question: Was anyone else expecting something new and different for the 20th Season? That's a big number.

[Bluerang1]

I think it's Brenchel that made the mistake at the finale! :'( I have no hope in them lol

[Macie Lightfoot]

i can only stand brenchel at this point, witht he obvious rigging for mark and bopper ( 2 non eliminations, and shaving fast forward )

:joker: @ obvious rigging

[Bluerang1]

Possible winner spoiler...

I think Art and JJ won. They made a joint twitter account. I hate them.

[BBfanUSA]

*supposed to *
Just like hidden immunity idols in survivor are *supposed* to be well hidden.

it has to be because speed bumps cannot be planned just like that. Jeez I don't understand why everyone thinks that production influences everything on every ****ing show

[lostalex]

blame the universe not the producers. Obviously Karma will be in play, but you can't blame the show for karma. I think it's hilarious that some people will try to blame the production crew before they realize that it's actually just the universe being fair. why can't you accept that maybe there is a higher power at play? and not the producers??

[Bluerang1]

I can't wait to see what Marc's spoiler was after the season finale ^^

[Macie Lightfoot]

Possible winner spoiler...

I think Art and JJ won. They made a joint twitter account. I hate them.

All that really does is prove how conceited those two assholes are :joker: And just speaking from editing terms, there is NO way they can win. They're definitely going to have a satisfying demise

[Bluerang1]

Did you watch S16 or was it S17?

Those brothers won and they were conceited -___- Hated it. But they did edit it for that "chance for my brother thing" lol.

[Macie Lightfoot]

I don't mean that they're not going to win because they're conceited. But really, it's a two horse race between Dave/Rachel and Brendon/Rachel

[rk3388]

i think speedbumps can be planned quicker than you may think...
C'mon how long does it take to set up the yodeling speedbump when you already have yodelers? 1 min?

[Marc]

:bored: I'd happily let Vanessa and Ralph win than Art & JJ.

Booper and Mark :(

[Marc]

Mark and Bopper will be back for Allstars surely :)

[Marc]

OMG the preview for the final.

History is made when some idiot team doesn't finish their roadblock :bored:

[Marc]

I can't wait to see what Marc's spoiler was after the season finale ^^

:laugh: It was that Brenchel make the finale - which I guess you already know now LOL

[rk3388]

That's why I said supposedly...

It means the same thing, Gj :joker:

[rk3388]

OMG the preview for the final.

I know im hoping brenchel r in second place the whole time so that its not them :(

[Bluerang1]

:laugh: It was that Brenchel make the finale - which I guess you already know now LOL

Finale 3? But I guessed lol

[Bluerang1]

I know im hoping brenchel r in second place the whole time so that its not them :(

This seems very likely and I hope it's true.

[Jords]

This actually sounds good wish it was on English TV

Brenchel :love:

[Bluerang1]

Brenchel :love:

You totes should. Try TV Links.

[Macie Lightfoot]

C'mon how long does it take to set up the yodeling speedbump when you already have yodelers? 1 min?

That still doesn't mean it's rigged though. It's kinda foolish to say that this leg was rigged for Bopper and Mark when they were eliminated.

[Macie Lightfoot]

It means the same thing, Gj :joker:

Well I wasn't implying any doubt in my statement, while you were comparing it to BBUS and Survivor. You can't compare any show to BBUS in terms of rigging ever since Grodner took over as producer. And Survivor hasn't been rigged too heavily, only a few circumstances (bottle twist in CI, Russell in Samoa.) TAR doesn't really compare to either show in terms of rigging.

[Marc]

I know im hoping brenchel r in second place the whole time so that its not them :(

Hopefully!

This actually sounds good wish it was on English TV

Brenchel :love:

They should do a UK version! :worship:

[Bluerang1]

This needs to happen tonight:

From survivorsucks (http://survivorsucks.yuku.com/reply/8341399/Rachel-Reilly-LOVE-thread-I-m-motivated-to-DESTROY-them-#reply-8341399) :)

[BBfanUSA]

Appearantly it's a two hour finale?

I hope that it's Art and JJ that missed the roadblock and Dave and Rachel take the win out from under them.

Actually I hope that it isn't Art and JJ no matter what

[Bluerang1]

I really don't mind anyone winning expect Art and JJ.

[Bluerang1]

Eww I just realised something:

Rachel said she hates Brendon. I think they were the ones who got turned back. The scene looks like the area where the pit stop is.

/sick

[BBfanUSA]

Looks like Vanessa and Ralph finishes 4th

[Bluerang1]

Yeah I know who wins this now

[BBfanUSA]

It was Dave and Rachel that missed the roadblock, but they went back, Art and JJ were already there but they were having problems, Rachel finished the block with ease on the first attempt. Also they just won.

So the official finishing order is...
1st Dave and Rachel
2nd Art and JJ
3rd Brendon And Rachel
4th Vanessa and Ralph

[nicole_burks]

THANK GOD THE TEAM THAT GOT THIRD PLACE DIDN'T WIN.

but my mom just screamed "YES MY TEAM WON"

[rk3388]

Brenchel deserves first

[nicole_burks]

no they do not she is such a drama queen

[Bluerang1]

Brenchel deserves first

In all honest Davchel fully deserve that win. Fully. This does mean that Brenchel can comeback for All-Stars or something else. I love them but I don't want to see them on The Amazing Race again though. It was too tense for my heart.

[Marc]

They did well and Rachel and Dave deserved it! They're the all time best at this game, wanted Brenchel to will but I'm happy they got to the final 3 and beat Vanessa and Ralph :D

[Macie Lightfoot]

I'm fully satisfied, I was rooting for Rachel and Dave. She's awesome and although he is a dick a lot of the time, I honestly think some of it has to do with PTSD after serving in Iraq.

And anyone who's saying that another team deserves to win is just in full denial. Davechel's the winningest team ever, they completely deserve it.

[Marc]

I'm sure if he was suffering from PTSD they wouldn't let him on the show? :shrug: I think he's just a dick

[Bluerang1]

I know they deserve it but goodness are they dull. All dominating couples seem to be. It's not that, Rachel is great but Dave saps all that energy with his Davenss.

[Marc]

I would have liked it more had Brenchel or Vanessa/Ralph had won

[Bluerang1]

Oh and my heart warmed when the Rachels said either of their teams should win. Lovely :)

[Marc]

I'm more glad that Art/JJ didn't win :)

[Macie Lightfoot]

I'm sure if he was suffering from PTSD they wouldn't let him on the show? :shrug: I think he's just a dick

Right, because PTSD is just that serious and life threatening right?

And Bluerang I wasn't directing my comment at you, but rk3388, as usual.

Oh well, I'm probably the only one who's downright happy about it all. I didn't find Brenchel as great and as entertaining as everyone made them out to be this season. Rachel was in her prime her first BB season and it's been downhill ever since.

[rk3388]

^ PTSD can be life threatening, it certainly makes someone unstable in a reality tv show.

[rk3388]

And they deserve it because theyre the only team int he F4 that didnt make my blood boil while watching them! And troy, everyone has different opinions, perhaps i also think they deserved it because they were the only team in the F3 without a first, while rachel and dave already won a million trips

[Macie Lightfoot]

Perhaps you should use a different word rather than deserving, because clearly the most deserving team won.

[SoBig]

This was the first and final time I'm ever watching the Amazing Race. Its very corny. Even more so than those Big Brother challenges. The team that won,deserved to win even though they annoyed me. Brendon and Rachel could have won, if they had read the instructions carefully.

[Marc]

:laugh: Snappy Snappy troynuncdicit

If you read back through my posts I clearly state that Rachel/Dave deserved the win.

[rk3388]

Perhaps you should use a different word rather than deserving, because clearly the most deserving team won.

no i think i used the right word ty for once again arguing over nothing :xyxwave:

[starry]

Rachel and Dave were the most competitive. But I thought the season was made by the drama and the two teams that dominated that were Rachel and Brendon and Art and JJ. Obviously I wanted the Big Brother team to win out of those two (just to see the vitriolic haters on forums explode), but never expected it. Rachel and Dave easily got the best edit of the 3 finalists and so I expected them to win.

Overall I thought the cast was the strong point of the series, less interesting teams generally got eliminated early. The tasks were good at times, but were too many local work tasks rather than more spectacular things. The leg designs were too short at times, and they should have visited more countries (and definitely gone to a colder climate). There was some suspense in a few legs, though they also tried to manufacture suspense by rather unconvincing editing at the end of some legs.

oh my gosh :P lol u make these forums interesting at least with a little bit of debate

[rk3388]

They got 3rd out of 11 teams

yes, actually it is. Do you not know that?

[lostalex]

Where did Brechel place and out of?

dead last in the final.

[Macie Lightfoot]

yes, actually it is. Do you not know that?

Yes, but I wouldn't say it would make someone psychologically incapable of running the race.

[lostalex]

i was definitely rooting for Mark and Bopper the entire series, but i'm happy with the result.

[lostalex]

Yes, but I wouldn't say it would make someone psychologically incapable of running the race.

obviously there is a spectrum, just like all psychological diseases.

[starry]

Mark and Bopper had probably one of the best edits ever (though they were too over the top to be true I think), Rachel probably had one of the worst edits (we hardly ever saw Brendon putting her down, there was an insider vid at least). The head shaving thing was ridiculous, they wanted to highlight Uchenna and Joyce and not the first couple who actually didn't do it. The fact they even gave the second last word to Mark and Bopper, as if they were the second placed team, was ridiculous. While they could be funny, their keeping out of arguments to look good didn't really impress me that much. They only spoke out after the race against Vanessa, and only spoke out in the race against Art and JJ when they prodded them over the u-turn. They should have stood with their alliance (R&B and N&J) better. And yeh I have sympathy for their daughter over the asthma (which I suffer from too) but that isn't going to be used to make them my favourites in the race. Just like Nat's diabetes being pushed towards the end of TAR 17 wasn't going to make them my favourites (though they were ok), I preferred Brook and Claire. It's often pretty obvious who the producers favourites are and so who they want us to like the most, and I guess most of the audience will go along with that in America. :D

[Liberty4eva]

I feel mad because all the internet rumors were that Brendon/Rachel won and a former amazing race contestant said she knew for a fact that Brendon/Rachel won because she heard it from credible sources.

Dave and Rachel were the strongest team so I guess they deserved to win but they are really boring. Bopper and Mark were the true ones to root for but when they left all I really even cared about was Brendon/Rachel.

[Marc]

If Bopper & Mark won then there would be an uproar on the forums about how the game was fixed for them etc etc.

They would have been amazing winners though, they'll be back for All Stars no doubt

[lostalex]

I don't think anyone here would be mad about mark and bopper winning, I think they were universally loved.

They really embodied the spirit of the amazing race. They really enjoyed it the whole time, and appreciated getting to travel and take in the sights and adventures, but they also kept a perspective about their friendship the whole time. They were great.

[Marc]

I've seen a few people say that the episodes were fixed for them because they had non-elimination legs in their favour etc. I think they would have been won around had they seen them both win though, would've been magical

[starry]

It's obvious they will be back for All Stars, their edit and being given a message near the end indicated the producer's intentions. They were never likely to win however, even in Germany running up the castle steps it was obvious they weren't fit enough. And in an interview after the race they admitted they did argue with each other, it just wasn't shown. And in the second non-elimination leg it certainly seemed to be suggested to them that they would not be eliminated and that's why Mark didn't give up eventually. And of course it's questionable whether Mark (and JJ really) ever completed that task properly.
