Amazing Race!

[cleolinda]

Oh my God. This Jonathan "married entrepreneur" "mental midget magician" person? Not twenty minutes into the show and I am already trying to figure out how I can go back in time and throttle him. SHUT SHUT SHUT.

O_O

Dude, I hate him. And his wife, kinda, for the whole "Geez, you idiot" comment. They ought lose first. o_o

I hadn't thought that it was possible for anyone to top Colin in sheer immediate annoyingness. Then, there was Jonathan.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Astonishing, isn't it?

(Also, I hate the two New York guys who keep talking about how fab they are and singing "New York Jews in Icelaaaaand," like the fact like they're Jewish is automatically funny in and of itself. Of course, I think I have some pre-hate on for them because the short one compared himself to Woody Allen in early interviews.)

You know we won't be that lucky. Sigh.

[bluestocking7.livejournal.com]

I am hating them because they really screwed over those two girls from Queens in a BAD way...

[pygmymetal.livejournal.com]

Oh I am so glad you posted this. I'd forgotten it was on! *eep*!

Of course, my daughter just tried to cook rice on the stove with a plastic pot...gee...what is burning? *headdesk*

[kittygopounce.livejournal.com]

*blinks* eep. Are your daughter and stove ok?

[ambiguousreason.livejournal.com]

Let's kill him, even though I have no idea who you're talking about.

uberannoying

[pygmymetal.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, everything is fine. Except maybe the burner. I will have the apartment complex replace it.

And dinner will be saved. :p

[zoniduck.livejournal.com]

Dude, seriously. I wonder if his ox is broken.

[beadslut.livejournal.com]

No one to like so far, but plenty of people to dislike. How can you drive an hour and a half out of the way?

*offers up her time machine so that cleolinda can throttle Jonathan*

[kittygopounce.livejournal.com]

Oh, good! :)

My god where are they finding these people? Can you imagine how many nice normal people they had to go through to find Jonathan? Shesh, I bet the producers were sweating that they'd ever find someone so obnoxious!

Honestly though I hate that they seemed to be 'casting' the same roles as previous seasons. You've got the grandparents, you've got the models, you've got the father daughter (though this year they used it as their minority team). I mean, its like watching a soap opera where the characters always stay the same but the people who play them keep switching.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

You know, I am actually considering going back in time and preventing that man from ever being born. Two hours of television, and I already hate him that much.

[drewbeartx.livejournal.com]

A-FREAKIN-MEN!

He's like Colin squared, and his verbal punching bag wife doesn't even have the backbone of Christie, so we won't see any fun mutual bitchfests!

And as someone on the TWOP forums said, what's with the high number of IMCs (Interchangeable "Model" Couples)?

[swordofthejedi.livejournal.com]

*mwhaha*

[brenah.livejournal.com]

Well, this was my first time watching TAR, (even though I've heard such great things about it for years.) I'm happy to see there is a reality show out there I can still find amusing :).

It did keep me from thinking *too* often - Is It Wed. Yet?

[neonhummingbird.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's possible to hate him enough. I was so praying he'd drop off the side of that glacier.... Better yet, that his doormat wife would finally snap and drop-kick him off.

[scarolinagrl.livejournal.com]

They need to fast forward to Thailand and bring on the "Ox of Doom" so that it can drag Jonathan through the mud already. This cannot happen soon enough.

[jonquil.livejournal.com]

My husband was hoping the rest of the teams would push him into a crevasse.

[zoniduck.livejournal.com]

Hee! That will never cease being funny.

[the-bumper-car.livejournal.com]

I agree!! He just sneaked past Colin on my list of people to kill for Humanity's Sake...

BTW, Have you heard about the latest Gregorian Chant album title "The Dark Side"? I saw a poster for it at the local mall, and when I saw the names of the artists they covered, I knew that you had to know, since one of em was:

Where the wild roses grow - Nick Cave & Kylie Minogue

OMG HAAAAAAAATE. He's worse than Colin and Mirna combined for sheer wanting to reach into my TV and beat him with a stick.

Also, can none of these people read a freakin' map? Gah.

[wayniac.livejournal.com]

Yeah how anyone could be married to that guy is beyond me. Where's a sniper rifle when you need one?

I so want the old couple to win. I have serious doubts about my ability to climb that ice wall now, much less when I'm 70 or however old they are.

[promoguy.livejournal.com]

The guy with the Blue Hair? I think he's this Race's "Colin."

Maybe Bolo will take him down with a clothesline to the neck!

[promoguy.livejournal.com]

Oh, and the line of the night that almost tops "My Ox is broken" is: "I think my implants are frozen!"

Question is, who actually said that? So many candidates....

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Twas Lori, the wrestler chick. I remember very vividly. : )

[pariah164.livejournal.com]

That guy needs to die... I can't wait to see that ox thing. I'm routing for the guy from Arizona, only because I was born, raised, and am still living in Arizona myself.

Otherwise, I hope that a midget wins. Just out of nowhere. I hate almost all the teams. They're either whiny, bitchy, or just damn rude.

The wrestlers, anyone...?
