My TV Musings

I’ve been watching the early shows this season and finding there are many of the singers shown who actually go on to Hollywood. I always thought the early episodes were dedicated to the funny, really bad singers and I was wrong! Some of the best singers are presented and even come with a […]

Three teams remain: Christina & Ronald, TK & Rachel (the Hippies), and Donald & Nick. I’ve been rooting for TK & Rachel but it’s been good to see Christina & Ronald as well as Donald & Nick to bond more closely.
The first task is to fly to Anchorage, Alaska, the final destination city. […]

Christina and Ronald started out in first place, followed by Nate & Jen (the evil ones) and Don & Nick, each about 10 minutes apart, with TK & Rachel (the hippies) 3 hours behind.
First task is to taxi to a building in Osaka, Japan, and find the Floating Garden. Jen says we’re “not playing […]

I had firmly decided to root for TK & Rachel, the hippies, coming into this leg of the race. If nothing else, Nate and Jen must go! With the hippies in first place it seemed like a slam dunk!
The first task on this leg was to get a flight to Osaka, Japan. […]

Nate and Jen, as well as Christina’s father, Ronald, vowed to turn over a new leaf and stop being argumentative. But, of course, they couldn’t. Jen, who had the Goths one step behind most of the show, even went so far as to say they had supernatural power and her final words about […]

The teams left Croatia for Italy and had to drive cross country to find their first task. Some teams went the long way and TK and Rachel, the hippies, even had to double back to find their clue that they had left at a restaurant!
The Goths had a hard time keeping up, especially after […]

Nate and Jen started out on the wrong foot and things just went down from there.  They were in a line of teams waiting for the main airline ticket office to open but, when the Goths went to a different one down the way, Jen got curious and dragged Nate down there too.  They eventually […]

All the teams were vying for the earliest flights and there was lots of tension. Even the blondes were at each other’s throats because Jen felt bad about using the u-turn and causing Jason and Lorena to get cut the previous week. Shana, however, told her to get over it.
After all the juggling […]

The first task was to bag a chicken and carry it with you all the way to the pit stop at the end of the show. You would think it might be hard to bag a chicken but, surprisingly, all the teams did it rather quickly. The blondes even went so far as […]

I was pleased to see Ronald and Christina, the Asian father/daughter team, getting along better. Ron had suffered a hernia injury and required medical treatment but didn’t complain nearly as much as he had previously, and they came in 5th this week.
One of the tasks was to milk a camel and drink the milk. […]
