Did you guys all miss it? afraid of posting spoilers?? As a west coast person, I was expecting all sorts of spoilers from the east coast fans! I can't believe I got home in time to watch Amazing Race/Good Wife and The Mentalist (note to self, bid Sundays Off for rest of season!!!)

I watched it but I could never get in to it till the 2nd or 3rd week when you get to know the players. Although the 2 Million Dollars is kind of interesting twist :) being from Seattle please tell me you were at the game haha I wish I lived in Seattle area :(

I suspect it's a good thing the Chippendale's guys are pretty, because I'm not so sure they'll get by on their brains. That being said, we all know who Dirty Old Woman me is rooting for!

I thought the same thing. I like the twins....they seem fun. That girl needs to let go of the fact that they gave the location of the abacus lady to the other couple. Its a race....you do what you have to. If they could, they would have sprinted by the other couple.

I dont hate any couple yet....doesnt seem like there are any fighting couples (at least not yet)

Ummm....what about the twins bickering at the ping pong challenge? They were starting to get on my nerves quite a bit with that.

On another note, I couldn't believe so many teams didn't know what an abacus was.

And if I ever go to China, I am NOT ordering dessert!! :)

Yea but that was just sisterly bickering...they werent being downright mean to each others as some others have been.

Do you think the chefs and the locals in the restaurant get insulted when these Americans come and eat their probably expensive delicasies and practicaly gag over them and say how gross they are?

A lot of people don't have the premium channels.

Yep, ditto. Though the other half really wanted to watch Once Upon a Time (on at the same time as Amazing Race). He had to work all day (7 am to 5 pm), so I let him have the remote.

Guess I'll be streaming Amazing Race on Mondays.

I wasn't sad about who went home first. My gut is that guy is a serious control freak and would've been SUPER annoying over time.

Twins? All 4 of us wanted to shove gags in their mouths. We HATE HATE HATE them.

No favorites yet... but I like the substitute teachers (as I am one myself) and the rocker duo. I also think (weirdly) that I'm going to like the Texas cutie couple. That kind of surprised me. The girl with no legs is a no-brainer like too, although I'm suspicious of their "10-year on-again-off-again relationship." There's usually a reason for that.

Ryan and I both love Dexter and we have to wait for DVD's for that one. And I adore Homeland and I get to watch it for free in Europe when I have layovers over there!! We only get basic TV or TV we can get for free (we get the DVD's for free from our local library) Neither of us wants to pay for more television.

Couldn't believe how many missed the abacus lady tho. After all these seasons, a body would think that contestants would think to check out anything they see that's bright red and/or yellow, for pete's sake, and how many of 'em kept going right on past her big umbrella?

My husband and I laugh every time a team walks past a clue box and the camera guy is zooming in on it. Same thing last night with the Abacus Lady. We joke that if we're ever on the race and can't find a clue, we'll just keep an eye on the camera guy that's following us. When he shows an intense interest in something we should probably check it out!

If you two miss a clue we are going to revoke both your sig stamps.
