I want to LIKE this comment a thousand times.

The horse and carriage WAS right there.  If I was Ralph, and it would have shut her up and made her happy (he obviously could have predicted her reaction to walking based on their relationship), I would have done it. 
But I'm still going to defend Ralph and Vanessa, because I like 'em.  Couples get into arguments over

Best dig of the night goes to Dave's comment to Rachel during the Gnome curling.  "Of course you did well, it was like a bar game."  Damn.  At least he didn't blow up at her tonight.  (However, that comment should have gotten a response from Rachel along the lines of, "I drink because of you!").  I also liked the

I also noticed that and it made me laugh out loud.  There was also loud mooing when Brendon slipped on the mat, which I rewound about ten times.  So good.

When the Feds were talking loudly about how the one of them is good at hitting targets, I kept waiting for one of the other teams to say, "What?!!  They're kindergarten teachers!!" And then the Feds would give each other a dramatic wink and smile.  Enough with the ruse!  No one gives a shit because they haven't proven

Not the most exciting episode, as Mondo becomes more and more whiny and borderline obnoxious.  Seriously, for the past couple of episodes, Michael has emerged as the lone voice of sanity.  He seems well-balanced and actually likeable this season, and a little part of me is rooting for him even though he doesn't really

partdavid makes a good point.  If you're going to try to rekindle your relationship, was it really a good idea to do it on The Amazing Race, which is nothing but one stressful challenge after another?  Since Rachel knows Dave better than anyone, she should have seen this kind of behavior coming from a mile away, which

What's the overall consensus on "Mothman Prophecies" around here?  It seems we have a few people who enjoyed it, and I completely agree, but I always thought I was in the minority on this one.  It's an effective, well-done little thriller.  The big bridge collapse sequence at the end is especially impressive. 

Michael was a last minute replacement for Marco, who maybe has more of a personality for this type of show.  Michael always seemed to stay in the background because it seemed like he didn't know what the hell he was even doing there, or why.  If he wasn't going to take the lead on this challenge, regardless of the

Yeah, I knew Lou wasn't going home when Donald said that he has to step up and become project manager "if he sticks around next week."  That's too good a potential catastrophe to pass up.

Dave and Rachel…Dave and Rachel…holy shit.  Was I the only one who was incredibly uncomfortable watching the two of them interact?  Whenever the action would cut back to them, I would instantly tense up.   I gotta disagree with this reviewer, it did not feel like this was a fair fight and that Rachel was being equally

I completely agree, Sy Ableman.  This episode made me really like Vanessa and Ralph.  As you said, they have a sense of humor about themselves, and they really seem like two grounded people.  His joy in the auto-park feature on the car (he also used it twice, which must have made the producers collectively orgasm),

I think what shocked me most during this episode was hearing Michael become the lone voice of reason when Kenley and Mondo started arguing about how designers need to know how to sketch.  To hear Michael interrupt them and say, "We are in another designer's work space, let's not do this here," well, I was borderline

Agreed.  This was one of the best eps of "Amazing Race" in awhile.  I knew when the border patrol guys reached the pit stop about 25 minutes into the episode that some serious shit was gonna go down.  I was not disappointed.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Rachel's hyperventilating at the pit stop.  I couldn't tell if it was the extreme heat or some sort of panic attack from the perceived threat of the Guidos, who arrived at the same time.  The look on Phil's face in the background was priceless:  Extreme alarm with just a hint of

They did it both when entering and exiting.  I was thinking to myself, "You don't have to do that every time," but then when I saw that no other team did it, it made me momentarily not hate them with every fiber of my being.  Seriously, these guys are ass-hats, and JJ never shuts up.  I'm waiting for them to

I was thinking the word might have been "vag" but I could be way off with that guess.

My issue here is that the chefs still were cooking for over 100 people…on the FINALE!  Yes, they had a hand in all of the dishes, and yes, they were over-seeing the sous chefs, but that still means that they weren't completing all of the dishes on their own.  In some cases, they were depending entirely on their sous

Watched this last night.  About halfway thru, I realized that I am getting way too old for shit like this.  I remember of going to parties like this (ok, not THIS extreme), and recall having a good time, but I was drunk and/or stoned off my ass.  Having to sit through the movie, sober, and only watching a party

What was weird was when Lisa said something borderline insulting in the boardroom about Dayanna needing to step up and do something instead of merely blurting out ideas, and Dayanna got offended, then Lisa quickly recanted and said that she was defending her, then they half-hugged and everything was fine and Dayanna
