  1. I don't know, the continual piling on Jeff is getting so old to me. I have not liked the man in other XLs, but what did he do here? He went for the caches in the first leg as anyone could have done then he wanted to trade. I really don't understand the others' disgust with trading since this is a competition and not a tribe surviving together. He was completely frozen out of leg two, both from the caches and "community". Leg three could've been a reset since the others made their point. Like, I'm irritated the show is making me defend Jeff cause this editing (or the reality) is that he's the outcast and the high school clique keeps ragging on him every chance they get. I'd appreciate it if they were just adults who could be mature about it and not vindictive. Matt's so holier-than-thou as a result. Waz is just straight up mean. Cheeny and Sarah sound like brats or worse waiting for either Jeff or Matt to show up. This format and particular casting is really making me sour on a lot of people I used to like which is unfortunate.
  2. The thing that's still a problem for me is when searching for a show in dark mode it's practically impossible to read the options that come up. Basically it's white on white. I search for shows quite a bit and this kind of an annoyance.
  3. It's actually some kind of tree frog. My husband and I honeymooned in Jamaica a few years ago and we were more than halfway through the week before we found out it wasn't bugs or birds. So loud in person and extremely hard to hear their nighttime conversations.
  4. Yeah, I just assumed the Commonweath made these, mainly because it says "the walking dead" in Latin on the back under the buffalo. The 1982 is a puzzler, though. I suppose it could be a significant year and not when it was minted?
  5. I think what Rylie said was "do they give you rashes as well?", which made me laugh.
  6. I thought that, too, before the big reveal. Both that it was so big it didn't feel that claustrophobic and amazing that the guards didn't see the hole. However, neither the hole she was picking away or the huge hole covered by the plywood was actually there. When she comes to her senses after beating the guard she looks both ways and there aren't any holes. So there you go. Even less happened in the episode than you thought.
  7. No, it wasn't our Briana that said that. There was another girl named Briana at the party that was identified as Paige's friend who said that. Engineer Briana was in the conversation, but didn't say it. Anyway, this is the first year I didn't have hope for any of the matches. I like some people individually, but not as couples. I watch to see two people who are really ready to be married try to work out their differences and don't watch to see train wrecks. Can't stand Clara's personality and her steamrolling the conversation with the other women. Take a breath, girl.
  8. That's so disgusting of the show to bring on Demi's girlfriend. A new low. Edited to add that the disgusting part is what the show will do for ratings, not the ladies themselves.
  9. As far as the final prize, I'm sure the same situation would've occurred if Zac had gotten the money, but I would've loved to see how each final couple would act when money or love is on the line. Since they actually ranked the couples at the end I sort of hoped that 2nd place would get to split, maybe, $25,000, then 20 and 15 for the others. It depends on the dynamics of the individual couples, but would even lesser amounts offered make people more or less cutthroat to take it all? I don't know, it's fun to think about. I didn't chime in during the season, but enjoyed reading all your comments! My husband and I watched this from the beginning and kinda loved having something to tune into every night. I downloaded the app right away and answered the silly questions and quizzes during the commercial breaks. So dumb, but fun.
  10. Just watched the latest episode. Why in the world don't they wait to air these episodes until the participants have had all their surgeries and recovered? For instance, Emilly and Jose: she hadn't had her thigh lift yet and he was clearly in the early stages of recovery from his surgery. If the show doesn't wait until there's a good result, what's the point? They hardly show the recovery process. It's just so much talking at the camera and pulling at their skin. Between this show and My 600 lb Life people sound so dull and boring. I watch these on demand so I don't know - is this the season finale?
  11. Just finished watching this season for the second time and my husband for the first. I actually really enjoyed this season but so disappointed that the cowboys didn't win. They were by far the most enjoyable team to make it far in the race. Very calm the whole time and a positive attitude. Loved Jet keeping his hat on for bungee jumping! Although the cowboys could also be frustrating in the mistakes they made. Just assuming, instead of asking, that they needed to go to Champagne, France, for instance! Dan and Jordan were ok as the winners, but were a little whiny and kinda were stressful to watch.
  12. My husband and I are watching/re-watching the Amazing Race in order from season 1. We just watched 13x2 and we're both stumped about the roadblock. Can anyone explain the "correct solution" for the wall challenge? Was the only way to figure it out to write down all the locations and read them one by one? If so, I find that quite unsatisfying!
  13. I was actually disappointed that Jorge wasn't Manny's father! Really laughed at all those scenes with Jay's little comments and reactions. Cringed through Mitch and Cam's storyline, but finally a Lily sighting. She might not be the best actress or they don't know what to do with her, but I find it ridiculous that she's been missing in so many episodes, often without a mention. Also thought that their would be a novelty keychain in that box of Phil's!
  14. I sort of did! And because of the big Italy trip reveal thought it could be something big in the driveway as the brother opened the door to go out. My husband and I both wondered where Kevin got the money for the honeymoon trip. Yeah, a box of donuts - not really the same as Vanessa doing donuts in the parking lot the night they met. But that was apparently what Kevin was supposed to remember from being handed the box! That was a stretch. I don't think it would have to be any one specific instance - just repeated exposure to Kevin would be enough to irritate the heck out of someone. My husband and I watched the show last year and were a little meh on it. I hated the idea that they had killed off the wife, but to be honest I've had more laughs this year. You just have to forget season one and take this for what it is. The quips and comebacks are funnier in general, so it's an enjoyable enough way to spend a half hour.
