okay, so i am hopelessly addicted to the amazing race. may it be the only tv show that i watch during the week (i can prove this by attesting that we do not have cable...hence no reason to watch television otherwise)
but yes, i have watched every season of the amazing race and would love to be on it. this season, i absolutely hated alison and donny, and was so thankful when they lost early on. i also really do not like the twins. they seem pretty dim-witted and rely a lot on their self-perceived 'good-looks'. i will go out on a lone limb here and state that i enjoy watching the mirna/charla team. yes, the show teases them a lot as being a favorite. yes, the local and entertainment programs are having a field day with them. but what really amuses me is how they fall on most clues per-chance. they are almost like on a vacation, and the race is this second side goal of theirs. charla is big on proving herself to the world. mirna is unbelievably a lawyer in the 'real world' and is such a ditz....and is obviously competing for the sole satisfaction of meeting the host at the end of each leg (as evidenced by her constant touch up of makeup and rearrangement of tangled hair right before going to the platform). you have to admit, it is pretty damn funny.
yeah, i havent really picked a team that i support. i do like the bowling moms just because they arent the typical naive-cookie-cutter-truly-honest-older ladies that these shows usually choose. these women are sneaky and vindictive, you gotta love that!
i just wonder how next week will work with them not having a dime to their name.

this show also make me wonder, why havent mig, or humu tried out for it? you guys are totally the adventurous travel type. why not give it a go? you would have tremendous support here. :)
