Amazing Race 4/15/16 ***spoilers***

I'm thankful that I don't have to hear "daddy daddy daddy" anymore. 

Totally with you here.  I also had never seen any of these "stars" except Zach before the show.  He's really talented.  Does anyone else think Rachel looks--and sounds--like Anna Kendrick from Pitch Perfect?  I had heard of Tyler before from my younger dd and my son sometimes talks about Burnie (he's a video game addict).

A couple weeks ago my older dd and I were at the new Shake Shack in West Hollywood and one of the girls from Clevver (Erin & Joslyn--dd thinks it was whichever is the redhead although her hair no longer looked red) was there filming a spot with a group.  We were even in the background unintentionally--trust me I would have switched places with dd had I known we were included.  

Rachel does look exactly like Anna Kendrick... sooo pretty... i wish she had more gumption... like Ashley.. get in there n get it done... she some times gets whiney... not Dana or Blair whiney... but i don't wanna see her weak... cuz i want them to be part of the finals...

    Oh my gosh-Jackie! You are hilarious and so right about Dana!!! I was thinking about all of this while the episode aired except for the part about Flo because I can't remember season 3. What a total bitch that girl is! What is it with these young guys that stand that and say things like, "I know she loves me and she's only acting like this because she's stressed out." or whatever it was he said. NO, dude, that's not it. She's acting like that because she's a total bitch!

If I or anyone reasonable female who was doing this race with a partner she loves, and we're tracking through the desert and I'm extremely hot (well first of all I wouldn't be stupid enough to wear black, full length tights, I'd have stripped down to very light shorts) and my partner says he's not while wearing flannel I wouldn't bitch at him and say I hate men. I'd be happy for him that he's comfortable. That's what someone who loves their partner does. I think the only person Dana loves is herself. Bitch, Bitch and Bitch some more. Wow, Matt! Open your eyes and see through your rose colored glasses. This is not who you want to end up with. You deserve so much better. 

That camel race was hard and I was especially impressed with Shari beating the camels. I didn't think she had it in her, but she did. Yes, she and Cole are challenged when it comes to navigation, but you have to give them credit. They never give up, and so far are still in the race. I like that about them. 

I do really like Burney and Ashley too Jackie. They always treat each other with respect and are running a great race. I also like Tyler and Corey because they really seem to enjoy every minute of the race and are having such fun with it. I respect Brodie and Kurt for their abilities when it comes to winning so many #1 race spots, but as far as liking them, they're okay. That leaves Zach and Rachel who so far haven't made much of an impression on me. My favorites then would be Burney and Ashley and Tyler and Corey with Tyler and Corey at number 1, and Burney and Ashley at number 2. 

I would really, really hate to see Dana and Matt win this season of The Amazing Race, and that's only because of Dana.

I would love to have the job of pushing the button and watching the people disappear down the tube. You know that guy loves his job!! At least no one freaked out.

Well, in my family we call our fathers Daddy and I have several adult friends who call their fathers Daddy.  My mother is 72 and still calls her father daddy (he passed in 1997) and I am 52 and call my father daddy (he passed in 2015).  For us it is their names, what we call them.  Maybe it is a Texas thing. 

That said, I could not stand her voice. So anything she said drove me crazy!

I don't get the whole, I am going to shut down and not talk to you, when we have somewhere to go.  If we are at home, sometimes I have to walk away from DH.  We ride motorcycles together and the last time we rode, he talked to me like it was my first time.  At that point, I wanted to shut down and walk away.  However, that was not an option.  Suck it up, do what needs to be done then shut down and have alone time.

I agree, it was always Mother and Daddy. Don't know why. But the way Blair said it was like nails on a chalkboard. But now when I talk about him on a message board, I usually refer to him as my dad.

My daughter noticed it right away. Wonder what they would have done if one of the two girl teams were still in the race.

My favorite team is Tyler and Corey. Love Tyler's laugh, it makes me smile!

my second favorite team is Burnie and Ashley.

I can't stand the yelling. It drives me nuts and makes me wonder what the people in the other countries think about Americans!

     Interesting that you mentioned this Pjaye about Blair getting her Dad to do the dancing challenge because I was going to say the exact same thing, and then thought, "Oh that was last week, probably shouldn't bring it up". so I'm glad you did. I agree with you! WTF was she thinking? She's a young girl, compared to middle aged men, young girls are probably going to do better at a dancing challenge, right? I wonder how many times did her Dad do a challenge instead of Blair? I'm betting he did most, if not all of them. Remember the challenge where they had to string those nuts on a long string? I think there were 4 long strands that had to be strung. From what I remember she had her Dad do all of the stringing while she mixed together the red coating that went on the outside and called it "cooking". 

What a spoiled brat! She mentioned at one time how her Dad had gone to medical school and law school, but was perfectly fine with her dropping out of college to pursue her social media profession. I know my Dad wouldn't have been happy with me doing that. And at the end her father was praising her to the skies.
