An anti-climatic start to the show. Sometimes it doesn't pay to have locals help as in the case of the blondes. The Bama girls really studied that map well and got to the antiques shop fairly quickly and it did annoy me that the rest of the teams underestimated them.
But what I don't understand is that if you want the Blondes gone then why didn't the models and Rob and Kim yield them, that made way more sense to do. I understand why the Blondes yielded Bama so that they can get some distance from the last place team.
As for that Roadblock - I would like to be a Gladiator please!!!! That looked like so much fun. I would have had a blast doing that.
Again the yield did nothing and the Bama girls pulled ahead of the blondes. I really want the blondes to win. I want an all-female team to win and they are the best bet. No offence to Bama but they are not as strong as the blondes but the blondes made many directional mistakes on this leg of the race. But I am glad that it was a non-elimination. I know that they can come in first next week. They are a strong team and again I really want them to win.
I would have chosen the olives for the detour as the pots would have been hard to do. I am not very artistic so it would have been a disaster.
Only two more weeks until we crown the winner of Amazing Race 10 then it is on to the All-Star edition. I really don't care who is part of it as long as the Bowling Moms are there because they never got a fair shake and with the rule changes it makes the game more fair for them and it was because of what happened to them in Amazing Race 5 is why all the rule changes happened.
Anyways, here's hoping that the Blondes come in first next week.
Cheers

Amazing Race 10 -November 19, 2006
I thought it was funny that people wanted tickets to Cherylnoble and the ticket person was so confused but all the teams figured it was Kiev.
The roadblock was cool, it looked like so much fun but I think the whole line about who wants to take command or something like that would have suited by brother so he would have done that road block.
Again the Chos waited, time to wake up and smell the coffee this is a race not a vacation. I am sick of them waiting all the time. I am agree with Karlyn, the Chos stop too much and I know they want to be sure but still. The moms needed to break away.
The detour is difficult choice. Finding the music then the piano player could be a needle in a haystack type of task and writing the music can be difficult but since my brother and I are both writers I guess make the music would be a better choice to go for even though I might not be able to performance due to stage fright. After seeing the teams perform I still don't think I could do it, I would die of embarrassment.
Anyways, I am glad the Chos are gone. As cute as they are, they were way too annoying with them wanting to run the race with integrity and wanting to keep friendships, its a bloody race and you really have to do everything that it takes to win and the friends you make on the race will understand why you have to break an alliance. The Chos were really annoying me and am so glad that they are gone.
Now I am cheering for the Blondes!!!!! Go Dustin and Kandice!!!!

Amazing Race 10 -November 12, 2006
I could tell that this episode was going to be a good one. Now, I didn't watch it when it was on here at 8PM ET as I decided to watch instead a BBC period drama as it was the only time that show was going to be on, so I decided to time shift it and watch the western feed at 11pm. But when my brother called around 8:44pm I knew it had to be about the race but I had to tell him that I wasn't watching it but will at 11pm.
Anyways,
The messages from home were a bit lame -sorry if I sound a bit heartless but really no one got that emotional about it except for Bama. As for the taxis, I would have waited in the queue like the Chos or asked like Rob and Kimberly if it was ok to take the cab before anyone else instead of jump the queue like Bama. Interesting to see how karma will bite them in the ass or reward the Chos for being nice.
The detour: Swamp this or that?
I wouldn't have chosen the cross-country skiing one because I twisted my ankle while cross-country skiing so the image of me doing it again remain so I would never have picked that one plus it didn't make sense as you wasted time in taking them on and off to jump over the obstacles. I would have done the other one and carried my brother!!!!!! And I agree with the blondes, I would have changed on the train and not wasted time changing at the detour, sure you don't want to get the cab dirty but it is a race.
So my brother called me about Rob and Kimberly driving in circles? Not an overwhelmingly interesting twist. I expected something else.
As for the roadblock, I probably woudn't do this one because it is not that I am claustrophobic but I fear that the air in the mine plus the uphill ride/walk with the bike and limestone would trigger an asthma attack, something I rather not experience on the race and national TV.
And how did I know that this was a double-leg. There was one coming and here we are. But that was cool rappelling face first!!! And you know what I was surprised with that Nokia didn't do some sort of product placement since Nokia is headquartered in this country.
So it looks like next week that the Chos have woken up and smelt the coffee about their "alliance" with Bama. Hopefully, they will race hard and actually win this thing.
Cheers.

Amazing Race 10 -November 5, 2006
Last week I had technical difficulties posting my blog but briefly I think the Chos have to stop thinking about keeping their alliance in tact. This is a race and not Survivor.
Ok, the intersection is an interesting twist. I like it
The Fast Forward again after a non-elimination but at least this time David and Mary can't use it so they will have the 30 minute penalty no matter what. Eating cow lips doesn't seem so bad, I mean it is beef and I like beef but when Kim said it still had the hair and teeth on it, then maybe not so much.
It was a no brainer the Chos would end up working with the Beauty Queens as no one else didn't want to work with them and I would have chosen Long Sleep as it seemed the easiest and the Chos and the Beauty Queens rocked that task. I never like the idea of doing an intricate task and the other detour option seemed that way.
After the Chos completed the detour, I was surprised that they didn't wait for Alabama and Kentucky but I am glad that they didn't
And the road block was relatively simple and I don't teams yelling who has this stamp was the way to do it, you had to visit each stall and look for the right stamp, that was the only way to quickly do it instead of going up and down hoping that someone will them they have the stamp that they desire.
I love it that the Fast Forward teams think they are golden when they were being overlapped by some of the teams. I think this is the first time in a while that someone who has won the fast forward didn't come in first.
And what is up with the cabs in Madgascar, do all them always run low on gas!!!!
Too bad that David and Mary were eliminated, they were entertaining but you knew that they were goners. I mean there was no way that they could have gone for the fast forward with Bama, as Mary suggested, because they wouldn't have been eligible even though Bama didn't use their fast forward yet.
Anyways, still glad the Chos are in it but now they really need to break free from the alliance knowing that the single moms are independent minded.
Until next week!!
