The lack of Colin and Christie support on this forum has been frightening, I must say. Like...

What country and place would you most like to visit and why?

Africa—the motherland! I enjoyed our visit on Season 5 very much, and would LOVE to go back!

Things that happened to Christie in Africa during season 5:
-Argued with Colin while having an eleven hour lead
-Attempted to block Charla from getting into an airport
-Argued with Colin while he's attempting to eat an ostrich egg
-Nearly got detained in Tanzania because her boyfriend was willing to get arrested over $50

I can't stand Colin, he was vile in Africa particularly but also for most of the season. Feel like I didn't mind Christie but I'm pretty sure she was quite nasty too. Plus I was fully invested in Charla & Mirna/Chip & Kim that season that I really had no time for some self-entitled middle-class white man yelling at a working class African taxi driver trying to underpay whilst thinking he was above the law just because they were in Africa.

That aside though, Season 5 is still one of my fave seasons to date and I'd give my right leg to see Charla & Mirna again :love:

[Headie]

I'm honestly surprised they're still together, I remember finishing the season and thinking dear lord I hope Christie got out of that relationship because Colin was so abusive towards her. I seriously hope Colin has matured because it would be nice to root for the only old-school team in this season.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Time for Colin and Christie :love:

Honestly that was a terrible leg design (fly to Japan, two Japanaese gameshow RBs, Pit Stop :skull:) but the end result made it all worth it. The shot of Laura celebrating while Art and JJ realized their defeat was worth the price of admission :love:

Couple this with Survivor and it was an AMAZING night in reality TV omfg

Came here just to say this :love:

When JJ said in their intro "Art is in fitter and better shape than last time, he's lost weight" etc. I was like 'bitch where???' and then the cramp thing just topped if off :joker: Only thing that would've made it better is if it had been Rachel that knocked them out instead of Rupert <3333

Screaming at that old man twisting his leg on the slide :skull:

They bullied Rachel and other women relentlessly on their season so it's what they deserve!

I'm hoping that for one of the clues, Eliza gets a clue attached to a stick handed to her.

I thought Rupert/Laura were going to be eliminated first, given they'd follow the same curse Blood vs. Water has with Vytas and Ciera becoming first boots.

Except Tyler :fist:

[Headie]

WHY do non-elims ALWAYS seem to occur when it's the worst teams at the bottom :rolleyes:

[starry]

There have been some good non-elims in the past, maybe not as much in recent years but then again I may not have been as involved with the casts to care so much. I wonder if like Rupert they'll be saved only to be eliminated very soon after anyway. I'd be surprised if they went far.

Otherwise the karaoke task seemed the weakest. The editing overall has been decent and there seems to be enough of a competitive spark between the teams so far (not too much co-operation interfering with the race).

[Headie]

Team Fun dancing on the graves of Victor & Nicole :love:

[Headie]

Honestly airport drama is what makes this show so special, I hate that nowadays most legs are just "all teams are the same flight to x", so this is a nice change.

Although of course Nicole & Victor somehow luck out :rolleyes:

[Headie]

Alol Nicole getting face slammed and then pulling that stupid ****ing victim face as if to say "how tf is this allowed to happen to me??" lmao

That's what I thought, at least most of this leg had drama anyway.

The letdown was teams co-operating at the roadblock which just showed the task was set up wrong, they should have waited in line.

I thought Leo & Jamal would’ve gone at the end, which would’ve been karma!

Becca getting mad.... sksksksksk

[Wojtek]

This has to be one of the worst elimination orders :skull:

[Wojtek]

And for someone who liked Nicole on BB, I have to say that she became really annoying

[Macie Lightfoot]

Is the boot order even that bad? Like other than Rachel/Elissa leaving early, which even so we still got 8 legs out of them thanks to frontloading all of the NELs, what's been bad about this? Getting a full season of Colin/Christie is still surreal to me, Leo/Jamal have been a fun trainwreck team who starts off so strong every episode and then does something stupid to put them next to last, and Tyler/Korey have been... not good but not not good? Probably about as enjoyable as they possibly could be.

And I know this is going to be #controverchele but I kinda dig what Nicole/Victor have brought to the table? He's totally fine and she's trying to bring her trademark whiny self-victimization to another show and it's soooooo transparent that it almost wraps around to being funny for me mainly because no one takes her seriously? Rachel read her for filth in the read of the century, she undermines Victor to the point where he even gets frustrated with her, and she's SO USELESS that I love watching Victor having to run the race with a dead weight partner. Say what you want about Jessica Graf last season but she was Cody's emotional backbone and she actually did tasks and pulled out the final Roadblock. Nicole couldn't even pedal the bike this episode :love:

I'm glad Becca and Floyd are finally gone because Becca Buckwild is just Not It. They're boring racebots who are way too consciously aware of the cameras and try to make moments happen and it's NOT fun. It *sometimes* wraps back around ironically like when she's singing "Old McBecca had a farm" and saying **** like Hakuna Matata and referencing Pokemon somewhat seriously, but it's just way too much about the Team Fun brand that even when Becca's mask *does* slip like it did in TAR29 when Floyd lost the passports, she brings it back together after 30 seconds and goes back to mugging for the cameras :\ Randomly unrelated but I could NOT deal with how every episode needed one of them to talk about how being a drum major/whatever else they do in real life is secretly helpful to running the race.

Let's end this post on a positive note with this interview (https://ew.com/tv/2019/06/19/amazing-race-31-colin-christie/), where Colin and Christie pretty much admit that they texted a casting director and forced themselves onto this season :love:

Nicole making her victim noises already bc Tyler and Korey are working with Colin and Christie :love and then making Victor do the Roadblock lmfaoooooo

[Macie Lightfoot]

Also this is incredibly stupid because now Nicole is locked into the final Roadblock if they make it to the final leg :joker

[Macie Lightfoot]

Leo and Jamal's panic as soon as they get in the boat :love:

Also, Colin comforting Christie and telling her that ENERGY IS FLOWING is what I want him to say when he holds me in his arms in bed after he ****s me......x

[Macie Lightfoot]

Nicole: Do you think we're strong enough to row?
Victor: Yeah but we both have to do it :\

Shade!

[Macie Lightfoot]

Daddy Colin's WET ABS as he talks about letting the energy flow into every cell in their body while Christie sits there not doing anything <3333333 when will your faves/

[Macie Lightfoot]

DADDY COLIN TAKING OVER THE LEAD

"The place we're gonna come in today" gave me CHILLS

[Macie Lightfoot]

Okay having a flash mob type of performance blasting SEVEN NATIONS ARMY loud as could be while the teams complete a Route Marker is ****ing fantastic

[Macie Lightfoot]

"Attention to detail is what we're good at"
*camera pans to washer on the ground*


Shaaaaaade

[Macie Lightfoot]

YES DADDY <33333333 Colin and Christie winning is still *surreal* in 2019 holy ****

[Macie Lightfoot]

Colin: I'm so proud of you.
Christie: I'm so proud of you.
Colin: I know *pulls Christie's head closer* I feel it.

:gay:

[Paige22]

Ahhhhh Colin & Christie winning :love:

Great ending! Rachel, Elissa, Colin, Christie, Britney, Janelle, Corinne, Eliza, and even Bret were the best parts of this season <3

[MB.]

The Old Christie Lee Woods briefly coming out in the taxi :love: Eliza randomly rolling her eyes at Leo & Jamal at the finish line :love: Korey remembering Collingham Road because his aunt's name is Colleen Hamm :love:

Colin & Christie coming back as zen life partners and winning is probably a top five multi-season reality TV arc of all time

[Headie]

I never thought I'd be celebrating a Colin & Christie win but here we are <3333

Probably my favourite glow-up in reality tv history :love:

[reece(:]

Corinne/Eliza, Britney/Janelle, Rachel/Elissa robbed!

[Headie]

Now bring back Charla & Mirna so they can finally get their million dollars <3
