The Amazing Race - Season 30

[Shannon]

As usual Jess knew better but Cody said follow me, and like a dumbass who desperately clings to kookoo Cody, she follow him to nowhere.  It was funny when she said were not in BB anymore and he said ...and we lost there.  

[MrsGryn]

Cody admitting his error did surprise me.

[AVorlon]

I didn't really want to see the Ring girls go before we even got to know them. I'm still not sure what they did to make them finish so badly. 

And yes, the Yoga girls can go next. I've already seen enough of them.

I loved the woman who jokingly told her partner that she would passive aggressively bring up any of his errors for the rest of their lives. She's my kind of girl!

I didn't hate the ring girls, but that yoga bitch needs to be the next one out. She's just mean to be mean.

Isn't goat yoga supposed to make you chill out?

This early, I want to see the annoying teams go.

The ring girls may have been useless, but they were not annoying. And ... cute. Because I am that shallow.

Goat girls were annoying. They are not long for this world.

Cody and Jessica did not annoy me. He seemed  to take credit for not asking for directions. And, they acted quite civilly towards each other even after they realized they blew the chance at first place.

Love this show.

[gforce]

Well, that frites race thing was a terrible, and boring, idea.  I hope they realize they need to never do that again.

[Tsylyst]

But it's The. Most. Competitive. Season. EVER!

[MrsGryn]

That race was awful, particularly when I thought Team Yale was going to lose. While it got rid of Goat Yoga (a plus), we did find out Phil is no Probst when it comes to running commentary of a live event. 

[copssister]

I had assumed Phil's commentary was dubbed in after the fact - which makes it even worse.  I don't mind the concept of the head-to-head challenges to complete a leg.  It can be a big win for the creating a time gap for departure when another team may have been right behind you to the "mat" (since they need to not only race, but wait for the next team to arrive to actually race).  In the end, it's a chance to see faceplants and teams turning on each other, so I'm not ready to rule the concept out yet.    All that being said - wonder why everyone chose to push the dolly rather than pull the dolly (it's easier to steer when you lead).

I have no idea how any of those fools were able to accurately rate a diamond.  

[Lorelai28]

I assume they had groups of numbers to choose from, making it a matter of trial and error, really.

At least the head-to-head competition kept us from having to hear, "We're probably last," or some variation on that phrase.

I thought the same thing at first until they showed him doing it a couple times. Either way, it was awkward, monotone and boring.

[copssister]

If only he'd added the PhilBrow to ramp up the excitement.

I don't know, I didn't have any problem with the whole French Fry elimination comp. It was funny that Joey held the record for eating the most French fries, and Ms. Belgium couldn't have cared less. 

Glad to see the Goat Yoga girls gone, and the NBA guys rebounding from their earlier dismal performance.   I think I like those guys, and I'm also finding myself liking Cody and Jessica.  Is Cody really only about 5'5"? I never thought of him as being short, until it was mentioned. .

[tlh9]

Yeah, I'd noticed he was pretty short on BB!  It seems that someone might have even teased about it in the house.  But had forgotten because that's not a fact I care a whole lot about.

The French Fry thing didn't really bother me, either, and it *was* interesting.  The most annoying part was the 1,467 times I heard the word "frites", the only foreign word amongst English which is just always a little weird.  But then after a while it because amusing instead of annoying.

The thing with Ms. Belgium being "meh" about Joey's French Fry Eating Record *was* funny... especially when he protested something about "but it's a world record!" and I responded "Yeah, in something stupid and worthless and possibly more than a little disgusting!"

Agree about the PhilBrow.
