The Amazing Race 12 Nov 18, 2007

Sorry for not live blogging last week but I was out of town and only arrived back home literally minutes before AR 12 started. But if there was one thing to be said about that episode was that I really didn't like the father-daughter team especially the way the dad treated his daughter but I know that if my Dad and I were to do the race, we would be arguing the exact same way.

But poor Ron, a hernia -ouch. Anyways, I am chuckling at the plight of teams at the Roadblock. Somehow if you treat the animal with kindness and calm instead of freaking out and frustration, you will succeed. I really believe that Justin would be well suited to this as animals can scare a me a little and when I get frustrated, let's just say it ain't pretty.

The detour choice was obvious. I would want to learn it. You can't really control how fast the kids will learn English words and some might not even catch on and you could get frustrated at why they aren't learning them. If you learn it, you can control how fast you learn and I would take the same approach that the brother-sister team would, take five words each and memorize it and I have an excellent memory and if I have to memorize something you bet it will be memorized. Thankfully, each team member didn't have to take it in turns the 10 words so that was another in that detours favour plus I always want to know new languages.

And nice hair Phil, all spiky like a porcupine and didn't know there was that baby behind that local greeter. Too bad the sisters are gone but they were not memorable enough for me to miss them.

According to next week's previews is the only thing that the Blondes did that pissed people off is that they Yielded Jason and Lorena but I don't know what is so controversal about this as it is part of the game.

Until next week
