The Amazing Race...spoilers...

it's been a little boring to me as of late but last night's episode was fun to watch. I LIKE when they don't quit!

I can't recall a challenge with a limit it on it like the one with the bottles, can you? After watching them years ago when the ladies had to look in the haystacks for hours, I thought they always left them open ended. I mean, I knew you could quit and take a penalty but I thought they were discouraging them from doing this.

Also, I thought the fast forward pass took you directly to the pit stop, but last night it did not work that way.

Anyway, I thought it was a nice ending last night.

This was a very interesting/fun episode. I don't watch "Big Brother" so I don't know anything about that team but I can't stand her. The previews for next week show her melting down. But it's probably just hype and all will be well with them in the end.

I loved the run to the end.

didn't realize who they were. I watched Big Brother only once years ago when Nicole Schaffrich from Atlanta was on.

and Rachel was a goddess on the show. Everyone hated her in the house except for Brenden. She would purposely annoy others, she sometimes played up to the camera, was sometimes too honest for her own good, etc. She also was the most intelligent in the house, often the most athletic, and the most stubborn.

Oh, and she's always very emotional. She wears her heart on her sleeve so yes, she probably does have a bit of a meltdown. She did it all the time on BB.

I suspect the girl on the team who was watching her unload the watermelons & "playfully" taunting her probably was a BB viewer, too, who didn't like her. And I've now got a team to pull for! I'm glad they were able to get to the finish line in time!

This season will be fun. I find the couple from Big Brother annoying, but I have to commend them on very good play. they are both bright and athletic. I think they will do fine in the game, but not win it. I find the pilot to be annoying. I felt badly for the twins, but they lost it on their own.
