I’ve decided who Hellboy reminds me of (and apologies to anyone who has already said this):
Sean Astin’s character in 50 First Dates. The kind of buff, closeted, whiner.
So that was why Aaron was so complacent about things at the roadblock.
Arrrgghhhhhhh! I thought Aaron was a pretty smart guy…up until about 4 minutes ago! :eek:
So, end of the first hour. Not exactly as I anticipated it would end. Except for Kris and Jon. And yeah, Aaron needs to give his head a shake.
And Amazingrace, he does look like Sean Astin.
Well, dammit. That is all.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Dammit!
She’s so horrible. I don’t mind him, but she’s so horrible! Dammit!
that sucks!
Frack that train!
I’m a little disappointed but what’re you going to do, it’s only TV. I am excited about the next amazing race though…Boston Rob man!
Stupid Chicago area trains! They make my commute longer every day! They make Kris and Jon late for the end of the race!
Kris and Jon screwed up on a basic element right when they needed to be focused. How could they ride that train for however long without preparing for where they needed to go afterward? They took so long getting off the train and finding the water tower that Freddy and Kendra had time to eat their whole pizza before they even got there.
Kris and Jon should sue American Airlines for lying to them about the earliest flight - or at least go back to Hawaii and punch that bastard in the nose. Not that it ultimately was their downfall.
“This man is truly worthy to have my children”?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I felt like Kendra felt after the pizza when I heard that one. SHE’S GONNA BREEEEEEEED!!
Okay, truthfully, just as I felt at the end of the last Race about the possibility of Colin & Christie winning, I’m okay with this. I’d have LIKED Jon & Kris to win, but the thing about TAR is that it’s truly about who runs the best race, not about being nice or being nasty or stabbing people in the back or lying to their face. And the only thing that decides worthiness to win in a race is whether you came in first without cheating. And F & K did. End of story.
I’m ready for the next one, Mr. Bruckheimer…
I forgot to add: Did anyone notice Jonathan in the final group shot, standing screen left, holding his right fist in the air while everyone else was clapping? Silly little grandstanding twit to the end. I’d say good riddance, but it looks like Dr. Phil is jumping the shark with a little Jonathan show. Hopefully we will all be done with him after that, and he can go back to his busy life of being an entrepreneur.
I retched at the arrogance in that. Like her womb is such a prize!
I’m so terribly disappointed! But as Jon said, at least he and Kris have each other, and they’ve convinced me that’s still a big win for them both.
The next season’s in just three weeks? How common is that?
I think the editing made it seem like Kris and Jon were much closer to Freddy and Kendra than they actually were. When Phil was interviewing F&K after the race, I distinctly heard a train whistle in the distance. That was the train that blocked K&J, so they were a good 5 minutes behind when they were blocked.
PS I want to marry Kris! 
I just want to add that I have lived in Chicago for 23 years and I have never heard of “Ping Tom” park. Also, how did Kris and Jon end up in the middle of nowhere looking for a cab right after getting their clue at the base of the Water Tower? That is right on Michigan Avenue. You can’t go three feet without finding a cab. And finally, what was up with Kendra gaggiing on the Gino’s East pizza? That is some fine 'za if you ask me. The owners of Gino’s cannot be too happy at the reactions of the contestants as they ate the pizza.
Well, that just sucked.
Foiled by the slow train through Chinatown! I dunno about you, but the runners-up were quite stupid in not checking the clue on the train ride, and not realizing that when it’s just after dawn and you have to go two blocks east, you can run towards the sun!
Just watched the very brief clip with the winners on CBS 2 in NYC. They looked slick, and promised to donate money to the Joe DiMaggio fund in Florida.
Ah well, Hayden deserved to lose, but part of me thinks they should have just taken the 4-hour penalty as soon as they arrived, and they would have been in the final three.
See everyone in three weeks, when hopefully we will get to see a llama sink its fangs into Boston Rob.
Y’know…I kinda feel bad for Hayden–when she’s not freaking, she’s actually pretty cool (she was, early on, my fav). I wonder if she has some kinda anxiety disorder? Kudos to Aaron and Hayden for a very class (even without the proposal) exit. This is the way it should be done, folks. (And it’s only a 4 hour penalty? That’s nuthin.
Good couplea episodes–no bunching, no bottlenecking, no real luck involved (except for the stupid “key in the locks” one. THAT was dumb.
I still say that anyone who says “I’ve got a sick child/dying relative/etc” to get on a plane should A) suffer a 10 hour penalty and B) be forced to allow every other opposing team to kick them in the crotch. Hard. My dad had to take an emergency flight to Germany when his mother was dying and he had to fight to convince them that it really was an emergency–too many assholes think it’s fun to fake it. BIG pet peeve.
Adam is such a pussy–he hates tomatos and wouldn’t eat 'em—for A MILLION FREAKING DOLLARS??? (Rebitcha isn’t much better, frankly, but at least she’s not a pussy.)
One thing I can’t figure out–Kris/Jon and KKKendra/Freddy got off the train at the water tower at the same time–where/how’d K/J lose about 10 minutes? I went to the bathroom and musta missed something.
