Well, peeps, the new season of "The Amazing Race" has begun, and already, I can tell you, I have some favorites.
My number one favorite team, right off the bat, for no other reason than the HUGE comedy factor is the team of Charla and Mirna. Oh my goodness, the things that come out of the mouths of these two had me in stitches! First of all, Charla is a "little person," and your first inclination is to pity her because of her physical disadvantage. However, Charla knows how to work it. In the first episode, she said in her interview that her size would help their team because, "people look at me and they want to help me because of my size." Her cousin Mirna wins the whiner's award. Watching these two carry a 50+ lb. side of beef for a half mile could be the most entertaining thing I have seen on TV all year. And the kicker? They carried it 4 blocks too far! Also, who would have thought that these two were MAJOR gamblers? Upon reading the "Zips or Chips" Detour: Mirna: Charla, we go to the casinos like every other week! This is a sign! We have to play the roulette! And, after playing and WINNING, mind you, in the middle of the race, Mirna wants to stay to play a hand of Black Jack! How great is that? My second favorite team has to be the Bowling Moms. What spunk! Those two hung in there, and actually, gave the youngin's a run for their money! They finished 3rd! My final favorite team is most definietly the African American couple, Chip and Kim. He summed it up best when he said, "We did everything that we possibly could have done wrong, and we STILL finished in 8th place!" Look out when (and IF) they ever get their act together! Mang, I love this show. :) [Edited: P.S. I was just over at Mac's place reading her take on TAR5, and in the comments of her post, Vickie left this: "Mirna needs a good whine slap. What a wimp....shut up and pick the damn meat up." (which nearly made me pee in my pants when I read it, and I can't stop giggling every time I re-read it!)] |
