My friend, Wyman Lee, has got a personal web site going on. I couldn’t tell if its an actual blog, but it looks as if it is considering its got posts and all. I see that he has posted about the Amazing Race. Check it out. But turn on your pop-up blocker, because its a Lycos server.
The Amazing Race ended tonight on their two hour race finale. Hopefully, this post is set for the future and you won’t read it until it has aired in your time zone. SPOILER ALERT!!
Congratulations to Chip & Kim! They proved the old adage that slow and steady wins the race, the turtle beats the hare. They got some luck in finding that the teams ahead of them were on a delayed flight. Took advantage of that good bit of fortune and won it all in Texas. Sorry to Colin & Christie. You guys were unstoppable, but lucked out in the end.
I can’t wait til season 6.
I have told you of my fondness for CBS’s reality series, The Amazing Race. I have it TiVo’d, but still watch it live. Well, they are concluding this season next week with a two hour finally.
Today’s episode had them visiting the motherland. They rode in jeepneys and pushed around caribous. There are only four teams left, and today was the final non-elimination leg of the race. Next week we find out who wins. I am rooting for Chip and Kim, but actually think the Bowling Moms may squeek by. That Colin dude needs some anger management courses or he may eventually beat up his girlfriend and teammate, Christie. As for the Lord’s team, they look like they may finish in the middle of the pack. Not bad, but not millionaires in the end.
I hope you watch the season finale.
I have already sung the praises of CBS reality show, The Amazing Race, trying to get you all to see it. It is the most fun show to watch on TV. I always shout at the screen rooting and jeering at the teams. So watch it. And if you missed any shows catch the recaps on Television Without Pity. They’re hilarious.
I am not talking about Billy Idol’s band before he hit it big in the 80s, but the set of people born between 1965 and 1980. If you understand what I am talking about then go relive our glory year’s on VH1’s I Love the 90s.
Finally, season 5 of the best reality show is on. I don’t know who to root for. I think the twins! We’ll see how it shapes up. Right now I can’t stand the Texas queen. This is going to be so fun. My TiVo is ready.
Today, I bought the Northern Exposure DVD for the first season. This is one of my all time favorite shows. Too bad the DVDs sucks. It costs too much for what you get which is basically two disks of the first seven shows, some out takes, some extras, but not much more. The packaging with the mini down vest is probably why it costs so much. I also think this is why it costs so much. There is nothing for the average fan. It is overpriced. But I still love the show.
