Amazing Race
 
So am I the only one watching this, or are you all still refusing to watch Canadian TV? :lol:

I was watching it yesterday, it is a good show. I couldn't believe how much Jody (the war veteran) was milking his amputated legs for that busking challenge though, but it was kind of funny in a weird way and I can't really blame him. As for Jet and Dave who got eliminated, I can see them becoming a Canadian Ant and Dec given the opportunity :P

This describes 99% of programs, so I generally skip the first step too.

Well I started watching it because they go around Canada so it was interesting on that basis to see some of the places they went to. But yeah it's mindless pap other than that, however the last episode did crack me up when the girls were in last place and then they moved to first place in that busking challenge, just because she wiggled her hips on a street corner. :lol:

Ah, testosterone, so predictable...

I was half expecting them to roll out a "British Expat" couple as one of the teams - they would have aced the episode where they all had to drive a stick shift.

I've watched a few episodes, but not really liking it. I do like the US version though, better host, better locations.
