Amazing Race Episode 4/8

[Laura PourMeADrink]

Ok = help solve the cookie debate. Did EVERY cookie in the winning box have licorice?? Or just ONE cookie?

1. looked like just one cookie to me...

[MaineDem]

2. That was my thought as well. n/t

[Laura PourMeADrink]

3. So who do you want to win?? For me, anyone but the male/female

couple. He's a jerk and she's too shallow.

[MaineDem]

4. I wanted Uchenna and Joyce

But that's not gonna happen.

I'd prefer Oswald and Danny at this point. I don't care for the Beauty Queens and Mirna/Charla annoy me (mainly the tall one.) The other two don't work well together and are, as you said, jerks.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

6. Well, it's hard to imagine Oswald and Danny winning it, however

much I want them to. I don't want the Beauty Queens to win - but - you have to admit - they are on the same wave length and are constantly in the "move forward" mode - which is what you need to win. You never see them lolly-gagging around like one member of every team seems to do which drives me up a wall. Surprised you can't hear me all the way in Maine screaming, "Go, go, go, move..."

As for Mirna and Charla - Mirna's quite the bitch - but I have to give her a hell of a lot of credit since she's almost a one person team (physically anyway). Someone here made me really crack up talking about her fake accent - when she's trying to communicate - Like if she's speaking to a foreigner - a loud fake accent helps!

5. I like Danny and Oswald best at this point too..

7. see post #6

8. Just ONE cookie

Otherwise it wouldn't make much sense, drove me nuts that Oswaldo couldn't figure that out!

Much as I don't like the beauty queens, they are playing the best game, as mentioned above.

I was hoping Uchena and Joyce won, but too bad.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

9. They already won once, right? Who else has won before - I'm

a fairly new convert to the show.


Still not totally convinced on the cookies. I rewound and it wasn't clear. They actually said, "600 boxes, one with licorice." My husband thinks I am an absolute lunatic for caring.

[Duer 157099]

10. I don't think they won

Weren't they on when the model-boys won? I think they were. If not, then the season prior was when the hippie boys won.

I'm virtually certain it would only be one cookie, otherwise it doesn't make sense because they would just have to (as Oswald said) just bit one cookie per box, which nullifies the point of having 600 boxes with a dozen or so in each.

What I don't understand is how anyone could conceive of that being the *easier* of the two challenges!

13. Here's a link for Uchenna and Joyce:

11. No all female team has ever won

Right now the odds are pretty good for that too happend. I'll be cheering for Oswald and Danny to win now that Uchenna and Joyce are gone. They took an unnecessary risk and it didn't pay off.

12. Pretty boring episode overall, pretty boring season overall

I was hoping for more drama I guess. The tasks have been boring and more attention has been focused on travel problems which usually doesn't occur. I like Danny and Oswald or the Beauty Queens.


Mirna is just a bad person, no other way to put it. Danielle's drama is pretty funny. I liked Uchenna and Joyce until the were pulling for Mirna and Schmerna to beat Romber who actually made this season bearable.

This season is boring the crap out of me. At least "The Apprentice" is decent and is on after AR.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

14. You're right - it lost my interest a lot when Boston Rob left. But

picked back up a little. I have and do travel a lot for my job and it just
slays me how ignorant they are sometimes about travel. Just taking one
person's word for flights - not being creative about alternate routes. I missed the first
20 min - is that what happened to Uchenna and Joyce?

I tell my husband I would do well on that regard - but we would kill each
other otherwise - second guessing each other. I think that the good teams have one
dominent person - otherwise you clash.

The Apprentice - I've been watching that too. Although I get pissed at that. Just sitting in my living room, I can think of much more creative ideas than these supposedly brilliant people can. Who do you like on it?

[MemphisTiger]

15. Uchenna and Joyce booked an earlier flight to land them

to their destination an hour earlier but had a very quick connecting flight and missed it. That set them back a day or so and no chance of beating the other teams.

The Apprentice stated out kind of crappy this season but I like James, he creative and energetic. Stephanie is good but she has flown under the radar by not being a PM and I think Donald Trump has said before he hates people that fly under the radar. Frank is good but he needs to learn when to keep his mouth shut.
