The Amazing Race [Season 26]

[Macie Lightfoot]

They just showed the preview at the end of the TAR25 finale and this looks like it has hilarious trainwreck potential. It's 11 dating couples BUT 5 of them haven't met each other before and the race is their blind date :joker:

Premieres February 25, same night as Survivor: Worlds Apart.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

:worship: Hope its a trainwreck like Big Brother 9

[Headie]

Wonder how many 'on the mat proposals' we'll be seeing this season :laugh:

Definitely Team Blasian ftw tho!

[Headie]

Get these two on TAR 27 pls

Ready for these to slay and become the best F3 ever :worship:

[Macie Lightfoot]

bleh, the cast looks pretty generic and the twist is gonna be a big gamble. TAR has definitely jumped the shark, which is a shame since last season was so good.

[AarynGriesfan]

This twist seems crazy and I don't think it will work but will see I guess. I do like the olympic couple though.

[Headie]

Lmao these two got me crackin' up already!

[Headie]

Starts tomorrow, so excited :cheer2:

[Macie Lightfoot]

k this is starting. Can someone merge Benjamin's thread into mine because that was rly rude of him.

I don't rly expect this season to be that good but w/e

[Macie Lightfoot]

why are they doing a tough mudder for no reason? ugh TAR was legitimately gr8 last season but now it's become such a self-parody

[Macie Lightfoot]

oh god this show has a selfie cam this is awful

lmfaooooooo Blair so hates Hayley already I love it

[Macie Lightfoot]

The Pit Stop is A PARKING SPOT.

A ****ing parking spot. This show is such a damn self-parody.

[Headie]

I kinda enjoyed it :laugh:

Probably because Jelani and Jenny won the express pass <3

[Macie Lightfoot]

oh GOD this ~Date Night~ thing :rolleyes:

[Macie Lightfoot]

on a more positive note, I'm kind of okay with the selfie cam now after #SelfieFail :joker:

[Headie]

Libby & CJ </333

They had so much more to give.

Also yass @ Jelani and Jenny slaying again. Deffo rooting for them :clap1:

[Calderyon]

First time in three or so years that i watch AR:

The old ones couple usually leaves first and on this season it happened again. Seemed decent enough, but not going to miss them tbh.

Team CJ leaves second. Expected, but would have wanted them to last a little longer for being such a train wreck and would have provided much more funny moments later.

At the moment Team JJ is the front runner in terms of favorites.


P.S Pleaese lose the freakin´ selfies AR gdi. Even with CJ´s selfie failure.

[Macie Lightfoot]

k so basically NKotB is ****ed

[Macie Lightfoot]

omfg Hayley is delivering so much tn <3

[Macie Lightfoot]

omg Steve in drag... I wouldn't say no iykwim :3

[Macie Lightfoot]

finally watched last week's episode and Jenny falling to the back of the pack was the best thing to ever happen <3333 I was DYING at her scheming against Matt and Ashley by taking the taxi :joker: Hayley was her usual not-so-delightful self so that was gr8. I'm digging this a lot more than Survivor so far I think :3

[DrunkerThanMoses]

This season is so much better then I expected

Jenny going from a sensible person in the first 3 episodes to a total bitch in 1 episode <3

Hayley and Blair as a team <3 (No wonder he does not listen to her when all she does is bitch)

The tasks are decent as well, I liked the detour in episode 4 where they had to stop two times to do tasks (yes they was easy tasks but still nice touch).

Just need to get out of the asian area now, its boring now, they been there for four legs all ready.

[Calderyon]

Don´t like the month long break because of the college basketball.

[Macie Lightfoot]

It's only two weeks though.

[Calderyon]

^ It is? TG.

But it´s still too much.

[Macie Lightfoot]

ya it comes back 3 April :3

[Calderyon]

OK. Thank you.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

The preview of what is coming up looks decent so might be a good second half of the season.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Show's back on!

[Macie Lightfoot]

lmfao at all the fanny pack suspense and Hayley being the Wicked Witch <3

[Macie Lightfoot]

k this was actually a rly gr8 episode <3 glad to have TAR back

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Blair at the end "Sometimes I Want to Run Away"... poor guy is speaking for all us viewers. No wonder Hayley is single, she was just a nasty cow through out this episode. Blair seems like a great guy, any one else partnered with her would have killed her by now.

[Headie]

Hayley >>>>>

The boot order has been great so far, hoping that trend continues

[Calderyon]

Last two episodes have been fine and the eliminations have been the right ones too. Although Hayley could just go someplace where nobody would have to see her -> ever. Very annoying, hard-to-handle and mean.

[Headie]

Blair & Hayley <333

What's with a 2hr episode next week tho, are they trying to finish this season quickly or something

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Blair & Hayley <333

What's with a 2hr episode next week tho, are they trying to finish this season quickly or something

They took like a 3 week break so if anything they are behind so need to double episodes to catch up.

Really enjoyed this episode. Season is so much better then I feared

Best part of the episode

[Calderyon]

Hayley & Blair won the leg :shocked: Didn´t see that coming, really thought they would be last/second to last. Means all teams were really close to each other.

Little sad about Jeff & Jackie being eliminated, but mainly because of Jackie, who is super hot.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

The season can only be saved if Blair and Hayley win now.

Mike and Rochelle are boring
Tyler and blonde girl are smug twats
The lawyers are useless
Other team suck as well

[Headie]

This season has been surprisingly great!

Rooting for Jelani/Jenny and Blair/Hayley! They both never fail to entertain me, I hope one of them wins :love:

[reece(:]

Jelani and Jenny <3<3

[Calderyon]

No elimination last week as expected, so this week we will have one. Would like the lawyers to go, but i expect Mike & Rochelle to go this week.

Want Hayley & Blair, Jenny & Jelani and Mike & Rochelle to the final three, but will be satisfied for 2 out of 3 and Tyler & Laura replacing one of them, if it needs to happen.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

I just want Tyler to be hit badly in his smug arrogant face

[Withano]

I love this program! Non-eliminations piss me off though, they should just put extra couples there instead. Anyone know anywhere online where I can watch Joey Graceffas series?

[Calderyon]

The right pair went home and right two snapped 1st and 2nd place.

Hopefully Tyler and Laura will be eliminated next time and then the final three will be very satiable indeed.

[Headie]

Hopefully it goes

1. Jelani and Jenny
2. Hayley and Blair
3. Mike and Rochelle
4. Laura and Tyler

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Hopefully it goes

1. Jelani and Jenny
2. Hayley and Blair
3. Mike and Rochelle
4. Laura and Tyler

Who? They have one of the poorest edits I think I have seen on the show, no way they are winning. Its being shaped up for a H/B, M/R and L/T final 3 based of the edits. Cant tell who will win though, all 3 have some what of a winners edit. Hopefully its Blair and Hayley; only team to make this season worthwhile.

[Calderyon]

Good that Mike and Rochelle didn´t get eliminated. Hopefully they can past Laura & Tyler and send them packing. After that i would be okay with anyone winning.

[Headie]

I agree ^

[DrunkerThanMoses]

I hope the fact Tyler and what ever her name is being arseholes about Hayley and Blair is a foreshadowing of H/B eventually over taking them and winning, but my gut is saying Tyler and Lisa (?) will probably win :(

Still maintain that any team bar Jenny and Jelina will win this. Their edit has really been poor all season and apart from being strong leg 1 and 2 they have been invisible and ignored the rest of the season bar Jenny being a bitch for like 2 episodes and even then we saw like 2 mins of that.

Mike and Rochelle have the under-dog edit like The Bakers boys and Maya and Amy so I can see them winning

I really want H/B to win but I fear they have only been edited strongly because they are the only interesting team. I just hope the edit is going in the direction that they did not get on but over came this to win the whole thing.... one can hope.

Anyone but Tyler and thingy winning is fine, but honestly the lawyers and Mike and Rochelle winning would also be poor ending for me.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Ugh what a vile ending. Terrible winners.

Bloody Hayley ruined it from becoming a great season.

#Justice4Blair

[Macie Lightfoot]

It still is easily the best show airing in 2015 so far lmao Laura and Tyler predictably winning doesn't make it bad

[AarynGriesfan]

I was really pumped that Tyler and Laura ended up wining it made the season worth watching! Hayley's mistake which ended up costing them a million dollars was hilarious. She yelled at Blair all season long and then it ends up being her fault they lost is very fitting. Guess you are not always right after all Hayley!

[Macie Lightfoot]

it's because Laura is blonde right

[DrunkerThanMoses]

It still easily the best show airing in 2015 so far lmao Laura and Tyler predictably winning doesn't make it bad

Nope the fact he was pompous arse hole makes the win disgusting

[Headie]

What a **** ending

[Macie Lightfoot]

Nope the fact he was pompous arse hole makes the win disgusting

lmfao talk about extreme. I personally didn't have any problems with Laura or Tyler as individuals, but together they just formed a blandly competent team that predictably won.

[Calderyon]

Unhappy. Worst result. And sadly predictable. Hayley, you idi*t, should have let Blair do it. Jenny & Jelani, please pass Laura & Tyler and win.

Those things came to mind while watching this episode. Season was OK/goodish, but the ending was a... downer.

Even though they were a solid team. But they became very unlikable towards the end, so when the finale came, they were the team that i wanted to win the least.

[Calderyon]

And lose the selfies, for **** sake. Very cringe and annoying.

[Calderyon]

On the bright side, this definitely means that Hayley and Blair will be on a future All Stars season. But they probably had that place already locked up in the very early going, i think.

Other candidates: The ones who missed the train because the stopped to take a selfie, Mike and Rochelle, Jeff and Jackie and Jenny and Jelani.

[AarynGriesfan]

it's because Laura is blonde right

Hayley is blonde and awful.

Matt and Ashley are definitely going to get asked back for another season

Hayley is blonde and awful.

okay but look at your avatar

[LukeB]

Finished this Season, Preferred Season 25 (The Dentists + Surfers for all stars)

anyhow I found the blind dating a really great idea and it's amazing how 3 blind dates made top 3! I was happy with who won tbh.

Hayley + Blair,Matt + Ashley and Tyler + Laura were my top 3, all cast were likeable tbh for me

Wanted Hayley/Blair to win at first but since Hayley ****ed it up(which was quite funny since she had a go at Blair all season and it was finally her fault) I was rooting for Tyler and Laura and was chuffed they won. #SorryNotSorry

[Calderyon]

Forgot my final rankings:

1. Blair & Hayley
2. Mike & Rochelle
3. Jelani & Jenny
