this is the only reality tv show that can attract me to watch for every edition. this family edition is one of the best so far. more people, more conversations, more bitching, more backstabbing.
i love the family idea. because it is through the show that reflects different family situation that exist in any country or culture. we have the gahgans who has a lovely dad and unbelievably strong and mature marathon-runner kids (the 9 year old girl can pitch a tent all by herself. how cool is that?) i was close to tears when they were eliminated. how carissa (the little girl) attempts to control her tears really touch my heart. and those who watched it, i'm sure what the dad says to the kids was truly warm. when they were close to elimination, daddy was like "we are the winners if we don't give up"
then we have the four desperate pink screaming housewifes. they are so suaku in singaporean terms. they seem to have never travelled out Illinois. they are irritating, but that keeps the show interesting. ha.
next, the paolo family. a family of italian descendent. and a typical dyfuctional family. lots of screaming, lots of nagging, lots of squabbling. but towards the end, they finally showed family team work and encouraged their mom to never give up. maybe they are high on winning and became abit complacent. i was quite sad that they got eliminated yesterday because i feel that they really need the money.
the most hated family: weaver. outcasted by all the teams. i used to not mind them as i appreciate how the family stayed strong after the death of their father and how they are strong in their faith. but they proved me wrong. yes, praying for the sake of praying so god can give you the right road directions? they keep insisting they are a strong christian family, but ha, their actions revealed otherwise. i was quite irritated when they surrounded DJ paolo cos the family yielded them. but hello, it's a competition.
my favourite family and i'm rooting for them: linz. they were not that significant in the beginning, but as the competition intensifies, they prove to be the best players of the game. they can laugh off any problems so there is barely any conflict between them. they are so close-knit as a family. being optimistic, they do not blame each other for wrongdoings, but instead forget the matter and move on. i think this is the most criteria reason why they stay strong in the race. but it's always a pity they always come in second. DAMN IT. they have to win the big bucks because they never got a coming-in-first-prize, unlike the godlewski. on a lighter note, the boys are pretty eye-candyish. haha...
all the way linzs!
hmm, i'm such a amazing race fan, i admit. those who don't watch AR, you are losing out a hell lot. yes. haha. are you jealous?
i've a feeling i'm gonna miss the final episode unless...
dear cousin, is amazing race shown in australia?
