amazing race 6...

ATTENTION MIKE: DO NOT READ THE FOLLOWING BLOG ENTRY. I REPEAT. DO NOT READ THE FOLLOWING BLOG ENTRY. BUT READ THE ENTRY BELOW THIS ONE THOUGH.

5 vital skills required for amazing race success.

1) know what kind of gas your car takes.
2) know how to read a map.
3) bring a compass and know how to use it.
4) be able to walk without losing your breath.
5) know how to drive a stick.

notes from episode 1:

1) many couples believe that screaming obscenities at one another is a normal form of communication.
2) many icelandic people can be found out in the middle of nowhere, at road’s edge, willing to help out obnoxious americans in english.
3) everyone in iceland is drunk.
4) of all the seasons so far, this group is the most incompetent of seen.
5) there aren’t any speed limits in iceland.

initial impressions:

hell boy/rebecca – (ex-daters). must learn that the word diesel on an icelandic car means the same in english. hopeless. will eventually kill each other (WEKEO)

lena/kristy – (sisters). hot mormon chicks. i hope they’re in it for the duration.

avi/joe – token goofy jewish buddy team. incompetent. hopeless.

gus/ hera – token father/daughter team. who the hell would want to drag their old man half way around the world? hopeless. gotta love her name though.

bolo/lori – token freak team (wrasslers). should spend more time focused on the race rather than wrasslin’ one another. otherwise, 1! 2! 3! you’re outta there…(WEKEO)

kendra/freddy, kris/jon - very beautiful people, indistinguishable so far.

jonathan/victoria (uber-idiot/passive wife). jonathan’s this season’s “colin”. top 3 finishers… just because he’s an idiot. (WEKEO)

hayden/aaron (dating actors) - young, restless (aren’t we all?), smart. top 3.

don/mary jean (token old folks) – did well in physical challenges but way too decrepit…

meredith/maria (best friends) - wow, that sure was a pretty waterfall… totally hopeless.

"suck out the gas? the whole tank? ...with my mouth?"
