[hannahbanana]

I love the Amazing Race! The Australian version is just way better too for some reason!

[peaceofsam]

I love the surfers and the models! Did you know that one of the surfers went out with Paris Hilton?

[xx_Vness_xx]

I love this show!!!
I loved watching the Muslim guys! They were so funny!!
I really wanted those two older ladies to stay because they were funny and I wanted to see them jump out of a plane

[ChristinaBerliBabbey]

I love the Surfers

[hannahbanana]

Mos and Mo were mine and my housemate's favourites! It was so nice what the BigW ladies did for them when they gave up on the challenge! But now they are gone I don't know who are my favourites. It's maybe go something like this:
1) Matt & Tom (Farmers) <---- Just so funny
2) Tyler & Nathan (Surfers) <--- they're good
3) Dave & Kelly (Bikers) <----- Underrated I think! I hope they do really well
4) Jeff & Luke (Father & Son) <---- the show doesn't focus on them much bit they're so muscly!
5) Sam & Renee (Models) <---- only in the show cos of their model status so all the boys will watch!
6) Chris & Anastasia (Dating) <----- I don't like the way Chris treats and speaks to Anastasia

You don't have to wait until next week. You can see the missed episode on the Channel Seven website

[innocentdeltafan]

I do hope there are more Aussie Amazing Races because this series is great

[hannahbanana]

I hope there are more seasons too! My friends were going to try out for the first season but one had just got a new job! I hope they try out for the next season if there is one because I think they'd definitely make it on the show!
And YAY it's on tonight!!

[innocentdeltafan]

Can't wait. I tape it on IQ then watch it half an hour after it has started so I don't have to sit through the ads


If you ever try out for The Amazing Race, let us all know! That would be great

Chris and Anastasia split two weeks ago. And they were eliminated in tonight's episode after they forfeited the logging task because Anastasia could not cut through the log with the saw.

Glad they were booted.

I do not think Chris will get another GF after the way he treated Anastasia on The Amazing Race. It was terrible!

Was it kind of funny the way Dave and Kelly were eliminated? They were enjoying a cup of coffee at the car park of a McDonalds on their way to the pitstop at Masada, Israel, when host Grant Bowler suddenly appeared and banged on the car window to tell them to get out? Obviously the cameraman who were following the couple told the crew at the pitstop what was happening.

Yeah I thought that was funny. They were just cruising along.

Go Surfers and Farmers!
