The Amazing Race Drives Me Nuts - Page 2

Part of: TV Nights

Now, those two clowns were well behind, but because Andrew and Dan are almost equally incompetent, they almost got eliminated anyway.  They, like so many people this season (Ken and Tina were guilty of it twice last night), didn't bother to read the instructions for a task.  That's right, people have been eliminated for it repeatedly this season, and yet none of the remaining teams have learned.  Andrew and Dan opted to take a taxi to the pit stop rather than walking.

Seriously, are these people crazy this season?  I'm sorry, I don't like to be quite so harsh (sometimes anyway), but this is the most incompetent group of people I've seen on a reality show since… well, ever.  Once a team gets eliminated for not reading a clue, every other team on the race should be double- and triple-checking a task's requirement, not duplicating the incompetence. 

I'm sorry, am I missing something here?  Are there points being given for foolishness?  Are the people this season betting against themselves in Vegas?  What, exactly, is going on?  Please, if you have any idea, let me know.

    Yeah I watched it once and I did not enjoy watching it for long and so I switched channel. My mom told me that the people there are not thinking much and just go and go without any tactics or strategy made up at all. I think you should still watch it and just watch who's the dumbest of all.

    I will say though that Toni & Dallas aced the whole leg with very little mistakes. They even had fun during the whole episode. I think they knew that with or without Nick & Starr taking the Fast Forward they probably would have been second. See they took the time to read clues correctly and had minimal problems with drivers.

    Nick/Starr and Toni/Dallas raced this leg perfectly fine meaning everyone else is crazy. Though looking at next week's preview, Nick/Starr are ready to join the crazy.
