This Season's AR

[beejaybee]

Thought that my fellow Tuggers who love this show like me might have posted already, but couldn't find a thread.

Very interesting twist this week and I am delighted that the Survivor couple is eliminated. It really irks me when other CBS reality show winners are put into another show, e.g. Rob & Amber and the Survivor winners who were on this season's Big Brother. But I guess it helps ratings...

Don't have the names down pat yet but like the token oldies, the couple from Chicago who came in 1st last week and the boarders who had the presence of mind to read the clue. Whazzup w/ the bickering brother & sister?

Chime in!

No clear favourites for me yet this season. I was kind of sad to see Ethan and Jenna go - I imagine CBS was as they no doubt pay them handsomely to draw viewers.

Was impressed with Ma and Pa and their comeback. Like the brother and sister - you have to have one team that regularly melts down or it gets kind of boring. Like the boarders - I always like the teams that just seem to have fun and live in the moment and snowboarders kind of have that laid back reputation.

Rob and Amber were on Big Brother? I hate the show but am impressed with how they have parlayed his appearance on Survivor into what I'm sure is a career that affords a fairly comfortable lifestyle.

That would be her appearance as well. The first time they (Rob and Amber) were actually on Survivor together - they worked as a team and she was the one who won the million. Then he asked her to marry him. Since then, I believe they both appeared once more together in an All-Star version, and then he came back on his own. They did a reality show on their life together a few years ago, I think...then appeared on Amazing Race and won since they got a lot of help in different countries based on their 15 minutes of fame... The two of them together are very smart and focused. They plan and strategize hard to win.

Rob and Ambah didn't win Amazing Race though they did go very far and almost did.

We always watch this show and are enjoying it again this season. The double elimination was a surprise but nice for the older couple who were able to come back. The speed bump didn't seem very difficult and they got through it easily.

Glad that the Survivors left. They seemed a bit arrogant and above it all which I think hurt them (and made me not really like them so much). I didn't see them on survivor so didn't really know much about them.

I like the father and son, the snow boarders, also the engaged couple and the football player and his wife. Otherwise haven't really seen anyone stand out yet. The snow boarders really showed up the others- they were one of the few teams to read the sign at the orphanage. Guess they aren't so dumb after all?

Noticed that many teams didn't appear surprised that they hadn't done the task properly- the engaged couple did show surprise (albeit a bit over the top) but the rest were very relaxed about it- odd but perhaps it's just the editing.

Would like to see them in some European cities this season- haven't really gone to continental Europe as much- too expensive?

Read somewhere they will be in Belgium and Denmark this time.

Belgium and Denmark will be good. I like to see different countries that they haven't been to before. Enjoyed it when they went to some of the former Yugoslav countries in the last few seasons- those are beautiful and not really on everyone's travel map yet so was interested to see the scenery and the terrain.

I got a peek of Nyhaven in Copenhagen at the beginning of the show. Looking forward to seeing where in Belgium they go as we head there next year post Chateau du Maulmont t/s in France.
