Pit Stop!

Date: 11/9/2009


Luckily for father son team Gary and Matt, last night's episode ended as a non-elimination leg of the race, leaving 5 teams still competing for the title.

Among the other remaining competitors:

  • Meghan (and Cheyne), who rocked in one of the toughest challenges out there,
  • Flight Time and Big Easy, the Harlem Globetrotting team who keep it carefree and exciting,
  • Brian and Ericka, who exemplify the principle that opposites attract, and
  • brothers Sam and Dan, who demonstrate the power of a blood bond.

All Female Team Felt Pressure

Date: 11/5/2009

Maria & Tiffany - Meet Maria & Tiffany VideoThe Amazing Race contestants Tiffany Michelle and Maria Ho have admitted that they felt pressure being the only all-female team.
The professional poker players from California, who were eliminated from the game for not being able to complete a challenge, told DS that they thought it was "time for a woman team to emerge" victorious on the CBS reality show.

"So, when we looked around the room and saw that we were the only chick team, definitely the pressure was on," Tiffany said.

She added: "Not only did we want it for ourselves, and to maybe make way to be that female team, but we definitely felt the pressure to represent for the other women."Maria explained: "But, it took us about five minutes from starting the race to realise that if we stay focused on something like that, on trying to become the first female team to win, then we're never really going to get anywhere."

What Goes on After the Race
Date: 11/3/2009

Ever wonder what goes on after a team is eliminated from The Amazing Race? After each episode, CBS airs an "Elimination Station" video clip where ousted members learn who's coming next. It's a chance to see the contestants with their hair down and get a real sense of the group's nitty gritty on the most recently eliminated duo.

Femme Fatal in Amsterdam
Date: 11/2/2009

In a frustrating-to-watch episode of the Amazing Race, the only all-female team of Season 15, Maria and Tiffany, quit the competition after a series of back and forth and back and forth choices.

During the challenge portion of the episode, the "femme-fatal" duo chose dance over game but were unable to make it pass the high striker carnival game. However, them swingin' arms were needed once again when they went over to a Dutch version of golf (complete with wooden clog). Unsuccessful at farmers golf, Maria and Tiffany went back to the high striker and forth again to golf to simply strike out.

Religion and the "Race"
Date: 11/1/2009

Victor on Leg 9Last season's TAR winner, Victor Jih, has been blogging about this year's Race over at RealityWanted.com. I love reading previous players' comments because they have so much insight into the current teams' experiences.

This week he touched upon the always controversial topic of religion, and mentions that he was surprised that when Mika and Canaan were faced with the water slide challenge last week, they weren't shown praying (considering they'd been depicted as devoutly Christian). Victor reveals that his and Tammy's mother asked them to pray every day while they were on the race, and they heeded her words after their notorious, disastrous third leg in Transylvania. But perhaps for the TAR producers, this aspect of their team wasn't noteworthy.
