The Amazing Race 12/12/14 - "Hooping It Up"

I could see him flying regular business class most of the time, but in a pinch I could see him using a corporate jet. I’m not saying he has, just I wouldn’t surprised if it came down to it. It’s probably easier to just fiddle with the legs & pitstop times, etc.

I wonder how many people around the world recognize AR racers. Just about every country on Earth has its own version of the race. Sometimes I wonder what I would do if some racers ran up to me. Would I go out of my way to help, or sabotage them? Bwa, ha, ha.

Interview with Phil here.

Next season is already filmed and will have more “Phil on the Scene” stuff.

New thread for tonight’s ep

I just want to go on record that I find it in extremely poor taste when racers tell their third world (or any world) taxi drivers: “We’re racing for a million dollars!”

Shut the fuck up you ugly Americans.

I totally agree. Why should anybody care that you’re racing for a million dollars? If I’m your taxi driver, how is that going to help me?

On the other hand, I expect that they have to pretty much explain in detail what is going on to every cab driver to explain why a camera man is going to be sitting in the front passenger seat and recording him driving them around.

Heh, I was going to say the exact same thing. “We’re in a race. It’s really important. Please help us win!” Don’t rub the million dollars part in their face.

Exactly.
