Team Bama Sucks

No, I'm not talking sports--I'm referencing the The Amazing Race. I've barely been able to follow the show this season because Sunday night football means that the Race starts at a delayed time--which my TiVo doesn't like. So I was getting like the first 30-40 mins of each show and then would miss the ending. Not fun.

But, the Bama team (two single mothers from Alabama) are the first all-female team ever to make it to the final three and they couldn't be less deserving. They aren't great racers, they're petty, and they are mean as shit. The only reason they made it to the end was that the Cho brothers (who were nice but stupid) carried Bama the whole way.

So, I'm not rooting for Bama. And I'm not rooting for the pseudo-gay, drug addict, bedhead models. That means I'm left with Rob and Kimberly to root for which is a nightmare. Did you see Kimberly scream as people threw tomatoes at her in Barcelona?

To wrap up: Elke and I should have been on The Amazing Race this season. Anyone who knows us will concur that we would've won--big time. Yes, I know it's easy to say, but it's true. Elke would've done all the eating challenges in record speed. I would've done all the competitive running around challenges. And Elke's amazing sense of direction would have been our ace in the hole. Plus, we may have fought or bickered, but we would have had tons of fun and looked good doing it. Alas...

OMG. So had to post about this one, as I just finished watching this epi. First of all, I LOVED the blondes. i think everyone else was just jealous.

That being said, I CANNOT BELIEVE you would pull for Rob and Kimberly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They SUUUUUUCK. [adam]

I am not kidding. The part where they got pelted by tomatoes while bickering, and "babe" this and "babe" that? My favorite clip of tv this season. The part where they come in first and are so excited because "the million dollars will help my marriage to this amazing woman. . ."blablahblah. Ten minutes ago you were berating her for her weakness and stupidity!!! Todd and I (married for a paltry five years plus) were like - "I give them a year. Maybe."

They SUUUUCK.

Bama sucks, too, but less than them. The models are just . . . vapid but lucky and in shape. I think they deserve to win, just because they have managed to do so well so far. Then Bama, because, let's be honest, they need it more than rob and kim and they will be together longer. Rob and kim need to die.

Concerning you and Elke. Obviously the producers have heard that Todd and I want to do the show after our kids turn 18 and they want to pit cousin and cousin against one another to draw in max viewers.

You and Elke are going down.
