Amazing Race Awards: Column 11.1


Well, TAR: All-Stars kicked off last night, and just like last season, I was not a disappointed girl with the episode. (Well, TAR10 had a very meh ending, but meh is impossible with these teams.I have a good feeling about this season.) So, I'll be giving out awards with each episode. Comments are appreciated, and if you think I left an award out, you can tell me; I'll add it and give you credit for it.
Kicking off the first real batch of awards, I will give Oswald and Danny the Tris' First Sentimental Favorite Award. I'm pretty surprised at that-I had expected my first Favorite Team award to go to Charla and Mirna again. But Oswald and Danny quickly became the favorite of me (and my dad) with their nice attitude and great wisecracks. Oswald and Danny, take pride in your first award. (And people, stop calling them Team Cha Cha Cha. They told people not to on Mat Chat.)
John Vito gets the Huge Red Bar of Stating Popular Opinion. John Vito, a lot of us agree with you that Romber has had their 15 minutes and more. We have all had enough of them. (The way he said it was pretty funny too.)
Charla gets A HUGE ROLL OF Industrial Quality Duct Tape. This is the stuff they use to tape leaky pipes, fix huge holes, and a lot of really useful things too, so it must be good. Charla, you may apply the duct tape as needed to your partner's mouth in order to put an end to the "Come on, Charla!"s and all that crap. (My God, I forgot how much Mirna annoyed me! Charla, you kick ass. I think i may have to give Charla Half Of the Tris' Sentimental Favorite Award.)

Ian officially has his Christina Aguilera Award for Improved Sense in Fashion revoked. Sorry Ian, but i told you if you brought that ugly hat along, you'd get your award taken away!




Revenge of the Ugly Hat


I won't carp on them for bringing paper underwear. I know it may sound gross, my readers, but that means that they don't have to lug around dirty old underpants. It's disgusting, but that is what is called SMART RACING.

Edit: Wait! Ian also gets the I Need A Kitten award for Grossing America Out for telling the world that he went commando on the last leg of TAR3 during his Mat Chat. Thanks Ian. I'll never watch the finale the same way ever again.

John Vito and Jill get the "Why Me?" Bubble of Thought. No, JVJ, you did NOT deserve to be Philiminated so early. Have a good time in Sequesterville (or Elimination Station, as CBS calls it now since Sequesterville was trademarked by the fans.)

I couldn't really carp on Rombah this time around since we didn't see especially a lot of any team. (You almost never do on the first leg.) But-we can still laugh at Rob in his soldier outfit. Everyone point and laugh at him!

Guido thinks Rob looks ridiculous too.




***points and laughs***

Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha!
