The Amazing Race 19 - Discussion - *Spoilers*

I thought the same thing about Laurence & Zak, Dee.

We couldn't believe Jennifer just stood there. All she had to do was go back and see what the clue said.

I love Andy & Tommy but Cathi & Bill are doing great. We're younger and I'm not sure we could keep up to them, .

I loved the bunny racing!

:albino: The bunny stuff was funny. I thought it would be harder than it was!

I bet they all wish they had done it. :Nod: I was kind of sorry Zak/Lawrence left but they blew it by getting lost. It's been the kiss of death so many times on this show. I was hoping it would be someone else who was u-turned.

Did you see the previews with them in bathing suits? Cathi looks very good. I know I would hate to be in a bikini on nat tv.

I thought last night's episode was very good. Lots of changes in position (was so worried our family's favorite team would be out...but they weren't) and some returns to the same kind of detours and roadblocks (dancing and making butter).

Haven't had a gross food challenge yet. Do you think we'll still get one?

The scoreboard and recap is posted.

How cute was that bunny challenge. I would have wanted to stay there and hug those little fur balls forever.

Did anyone else notice something strange in last nights episode. LOL well stanger than normal? Did you notice that while teams were looking for the clue on the roof of the bell tower that people were on the other roof rolling up the banner that said Fredricksborg. What was going on with that? I wondered if that contributed to Jeremy and Sandy's not finding that part of the clue at first??

I am growing to love Bill and Cathi more each episode and they have now surpassed Andy and Tommy on my list of who I would like to see win. What an amazing couple.

I was glad to see that Zac and Laurence were the ones eliminated. Jeremy and Sandy seem to get lost perpetually and bicker a fair bit but I find Laurence so condescending to Zac and such a bragger that he could have done everything better than his son...I was glad to see him booted. I liked Zac much better than his father.

The previews for the coming week look terrific. Looks like they will be doing some on stage acting and some body building poses. Can't believe how great Bill and Cathi look in the short flash we got to see of them. I am looking forward to that episode.

I did notice the rolling up of the sign. It was definitely a new twist. I think they said in the voice over that the sign was being rolled up and then out again in an attempt, I guess, to do "now you see it now you don't". Probably contributed to Jeremy and Sandy's confusion.

I do like Bill and Cathi and Andy and Tommy. It's my daughter who really likes Marcus and his wife. Glad to see Zac and Laurence go though I thought Laurence was generally less demeaning of Zac in this episode.

Wow, I did not get a voice over on my station. No wonder I was confused. They must have edited it at a wrong spot on our station. I find little differences like that all the time depending on whether I am watching on a Canadian station or American. I know that when I watch the Canadian stations we never get the previews for the next weeks show.

I am sorry, but I don't get why the engaged couple did the u-turn on the older couple, but that they just wanted to be first place. Just because they were dumb enough to use their speed thing & lost 1st place to the snow boarder guys, isn't a reason to me to use it on this leg. I truly hope they lose on the next leg.

Yes, I thought it was a lame excuse as well. Bill and Cathi were not likely to pass them unless they got lost or stuck in traffic and they were in no danger of being eliminated. Bill and Cathi I could see using the U-turn because they had no idea how long it would take them to do the second part of the detour and the only team they knew for sure were behind them at this point was Laurence and Zac.

They wanted to win at least one prize, I guess. And a trip to Fiji sounds good to me.

But you never know about karma...

Speckles is like the Secretariat of bunny racing, if you ask ME....
