Amazing Race 10

[Stan4dSteph]

I don't agree that Sarah is taking advantage, at least in what we've seen so far. I can see how she would need time to preboard. It's hard enough to get on a plane and maneuver with two good legs, much less with an artificial one.

I thought the emergency was the hydraulic fluid leaking from her leg. That's going to be tough to fix since I doubt they'll be able to just top off at any local gas station...

I think the single moms just like to complain.

Humm.. I remember it as Peter saying BEFORE the start of that days race that the leg was leaking and he could not fix it which from my point of view is really no different than a contestant spraining an ankle. You either run with it or drop out to get treament. Granted it's a bit embarrassing for Peter who makes the legs for her, but it's only an "emergency" if you are asking to go to the hospital . For now I'll stand by my opinion on her.

Which is it? Is she a capable athlete who's up for the race or a helpless cripple for whom catching a cab rates declaring an emergency.

I see your point theoretically, and if Sarah was obviously using her disability to garner sympathy solely on gaining in the race, then, I would be outraged too...but there was only at most one or two instances where this was the case (both examples you gave out in your post). Then again, maybe it's still early.

But, Lyn and Karlyn aren't winning sympathy with me by being catty and rude like that. I'm not seeing Sarah do that sort of thing...at least not yet.

On the other hand, the two Cheers say outright that they plan to use their hotness to their best advantage (ok, not their exact words...). Is that really any different than Sarah using her physique to her best advantage? In this case I say yes. It is different.

Nope, I don't think it is different.

Oh, I forgot to mention earlier that we were highly amused by their adventures in Seattle traffic. And we mocked them because NO ONE says "the" I5 up here. Tourists! And it was even a nicely overcast day. Two thumbs up!

I was thinking the same thing about 'The 5', and the weather. They should have had them take a Ferry in to the starting point, but I guess that would have given them time to introduce themselves before the race started.

When they introduced the teams at the beginning of the episode, I turned to Heather and said, "It's interesting that there are 2 teams that openly practice non-Judeo-Christian religions. It'll make for an interesting show." Guess not.
