Just watched the first episode today -awesome as always! Where do you guys stream actually? Cause I couldn't find it anywhere except couple of some dodgy websites. Is there a chance I can stream it with the help of one of those live tv addons?

I feel the same about the dancing/cheerleading teams--- I feel like I haven't gotten to know them as well individually yet. At this point, though, with less teams left, I can already see that starting to change, though. When the family tree came up as a roadblock DH was all "That's for you!!", and then they paired it with rappelling down the side of the castle, and I'm afraid of heights. And so I was going on about how they ruined "my" perfect roadblock. I was happy to see, with that one, how they all thought to say "Wait a minute---I'm not standing here trying to memorize this whole thing before I even know what they're going to ask me", because my gosh, it was only 5 names---that would have been such a huge waste of time otherwise. And of course, self-driving is always an issue--whether navigational problems, or poor Glenda in the ditch.

DS asks if you are watching it through Roku? Also is there an asterisk button on your remote and are you able to set up the CC to work at all? No and no. ETA: Once the program starts I can sometimes scroll up to the top then the right and access the CC button. But it often times screws up the program so DH tells me to forget it.

DS is out again so I'll show him this next time I see him. I'm sorry we keep missing each other.

I have to say while I was really sorry the orange team came in last (at least they weren't eliminated) I love the way the husband continued to encourage his wife on the mat when she said she felt that it was her fault they lost so much time at the dancing challenge. What a great husband he is. I still hear Kevin Hart every time he talks! I love them! Me, too. He's the sweetest guy!

Wasnt too upset to see the cheerleaders go home.... they never really showed much of them... they are probably upset by their edit because they basically weren't even on the show... lol and they seemed like they would enjoy the attention...
Im feel bad the brothers are starting to break but it's kinda funny because they do seem to have a better then everyone attitude...
I still like Emily n Molly and Claire and Derek...

The brothers didn't communicate very well or read the map as Marcus insisted on taking the wrong exit while going to Toulouse. The rugby roadblock was fun to watch. It wasn't easy to kick the ball at the end. Too bad that Emily & Molly went into the wrong parking garage. That cost them the 1st place this time. Not sad that the cheerleaders went home. Derek & Clair played an excellent race in this episode.

I agree about the brothers. They seem to be so on top and experienced when it comes to navigation, but last night made at least 2 huge errors when it came to navigating that very much affected their race, and dropped them down to 4th place after starting out in 1st place.
I didn't mind the cheerleaders going home-I never really connected with them this season.
I am getting worried about the twins and the knee injury that one of them (can't remember which one has it) has. It slowed them down last night a bit, and it looks like it gets worse next week-but you know how those previews always like to fool us. Hopefully it's not as bad as the previews make it out to be. I want them to make the final 3 and win!
At least to me I thought memorizing the poem in French looked a lot harder than the brick challenge and I took one year of high school French.

We've definitely reached that point where one mistake can make or break a team. I kind of liked the cheerleaders so I was disappointed to see them go home, but at the same time I don't actively dislike any of the remaining teams so I don't know who I would have sent home in their place.
I was also surprised so many teams went for the poetry challenge, I would have gone for the bricks for sure!

My BFF's DD is playing professionally in England so I was thrilled to see the Roadblock with a woman's rugby team! I also LOVED that Aubrey and David switched the driver/navigator spots! They did so much better.

I was also surprised so many teams went for the poetry challenge, I would have gone for the bricks for sure! So would I. But then we are scrapbookers, so laying out a pattern would be a no brainer. Of course, I don't know how much info they got before choosing. If I read "bricks" I might think I had to fill and push a wheelbarrow full of them up a hill or something... I like Derek & Claire, but was surprised with their success this leg. I could not believe Claire volunteered for rugby, and I expected her to be there all day. And then I thought about how they struggled before with a language challenge. But their attitude is great, Claire picked up the kicking faster than I thought she would, and she seemed better at the French language than he was--even though he said he had had a few years of French in school. (Of course so did I take several years of French in school, and I can barely read the back of a corn flakes box).

Aubrey and Claire did amazingly well on the wire challenge, although I laughed when Claire made it back across and apologised for her attitude. I am not good with heights and there is no way I could have done that.
I was disappointed to see the brothers go home, I've really liked them throughout the race so far, but they struggled so much with the Picasso challenge last week that I didn't see how they could make up the time.
I'm excited to see next week though, it looks like they're in Iceland.

Pretty sure I would have had to take the penalty. Also disappointed to see the brothers go home as they had been one of my favorite teams since the beginning. Looking forward to the Iceland episode!

When she found out the challenge I first thought she was crying because she was afraid to do it, then I realised she was just so excited about it. The twin did a remarkable job getting across to given her injury, she was much faster than I expected.

Just caught up on this weeks episode... i am not a fan of the brothers but i was sad to see them go... the just couldn't recover from the picasso...
I think Derek helping aubrey n david was dumb this late in the race.... but it turned out ok... it was funny to me when Claire said dont talk to me... on the wire and aubrey is like oh ok the talking was helping me...
I was worried last week when luis n Michelle did the paddle board but they managed it really well!!! Luis bothers me for some reason... i dated someone like him.... lol
Emily and her leg... wow she just keeps getting it done... climbing an ice wall next week well be really rough for them

that heights challenge would have been the end for me! I would have either been bawling like a baby, frozen to the first railing not able to take a single step, or peeing my pants the whole time I was on the wire. I totally understood Claire's breakdown when she got finished, although she handled it like a rock star during the challenge. They are my fave team besides the twins who i also love.

I'm not sure I could have stepped over the wall for that challenge, but if I did, DO NOT TALK TO ME while I'm doing it. I think it is hysterical that Luis and David are bro-crushing on Derek. I'm sure the helping each other will continue until the final leg. They've all mutually benefitted from it so far. Really the only impact of the mega leg was not getting the recovery time from coming in last on a leg. If the brothers had started only 15 minutes behind two of the teams, they probably would still be in it.

I felt so sorry for David this week doing not one, but two, water-based challenges. I was super surprised when he said he can't really swim, and after they got so many of the volcanoes wrong on their first attempt, I knew they were going to be in trouble. I'll admit I'm surprised the twins made it through the final, I thought for sure her injury was going to eliminate them, and it was a combination of their great memories and luck that got them through.
I don't dislike any of the remaining teams, and I think the producers did a really great job choosing them this year, but I'm hoping Derek and Claire win.

I really did feel bad for David, too, this week. I'm fine with any of the remaining teams winning and just hope there isn't a sprint to the end.

I'm hoping Derek and Claire win. Me too! They were amazing with the challenges this week. But, if they don't win, I'm okay with the other 2 teams. Usually there is someone to *root* against but not this season.

Post by melanell on Dec 2, 2022 22:04:49 GMT
I felt so badly for David. I will say, though, that it always surprises me when someone younger can't swim. I know it's due to my own personal background---and yet, despite knowing full well that's not how it is everyone, it still catches me by surprise when I come across someone who can't swim. And Emily & Molly---wow--DH & I are so surprised every new leg they make it through. There's always some other team that has a harder time than even they are having. But I can't help but think that can't keep happening as we reach the last few legs. I agree with everyone who said that they like all of the teams. I've felt that way for several legs now, so I keep feeling bad every time a team is eliminated.

I guess the swimming segments took the stress off her knee, but the twins were lucky that David struggled so badly. I like all the remaining teams. Somehow I don’t see Derek and Claire winning, even though they have been my favourites this season. They are up against a strong physical team and a strong mental team, so I can see them falling behind in at least one of the challenges.

I’m really rooting for the twins. I don’t have much hope they’ll make it.. but you never know what will happen. Claire and her husband is my second choice. Really won’t be unhappy as I like all three teams.

I’m good with any of the three teams winning but hoping it’s the twins.
I’m shocked at all the memorization there’s been in the race. I would have a really hard time with that. Claire must have a photographic memory. She’s been awesome at it.

The 3 final teams are exactly the teams I wanted in the final. I will be happy no matter who wins.

I agree that there isn’t a bad team in the final. I don’t have a favorite. I like all of them and really liked this season.

Is it just me, or did they do away with the rule that the team had to split the roadblocks in half (ie, one team mate could not do them ALL?)? I swear Clare seems to be doing most of them.

I could be misremembering, but I think when they read out the roadblock Derek said "Derek has to do this one" at the end. I agree Claire has done a disproportionate number of the roadblocks for their team.

I could be misremembering, but I think when they read out the roadblock Derek said "Derek has to do this one" at the end. I agree Claire has done a disproportionate number of the roadblocks for their team. It feels that way so I had to look it up. Claire did 6 and Dereck did 5 roadblocks - I would have never guessed maybe because of how much she struggled with a couple of them. amazingrace.fandom.com/wiki/Derek_%26_ClaireIt was a heartbreaker how David & Aubrey went out like that but it was the only thing that kept Molly & Emily in the race and I'm rooting for them. But I thought 2 swimming challenges in the same episode was extraordinary. I'm looking forward to the finale...I like all three teams and would be happy with any of them winning but with a slight preference to the twins bc I love their story.
