Muslims & Hindus Have Something In Common
They both suck at Amazing Race. During the two hour season premiere of the show, Bilal a medical supply technician & Sa’eed a power lineman from Cleveland Ohio and Vipul and Artie, the Indian-American couple from Orlando, Florida were the first and second teams to be eliminated from the show.
We’re now rooting for the Kentucky coal miner and his wife for the rest of the season!

OMG
I just posted this on my blog.
I’m chuckling.
Too bad so sad…
I was gagging at Vipul’s gushing about his wifey.
Where the hell is the barf bag on this blog? :)
Too hilarious Turbanhead… hear hear for you!
And go COAL MINER (esp the wife who hugs EVERYONE..)
I just posted this on your news item, and the page refreshes and I see that you posted it in the main section
Who was of the teams referred to the 2 Muslim guys as “the beards”?
That aside, let us now discuss the most annoying teams and/or the ones we hope will be off soon.
I wish there’d be a future edition of the Amazing Race, maybe a shorter season, all set in one large country. Brazil would be cool, India would be great too. I guess that would be too boring a concept for general viewers, but I’d love to see a variation on the show with more of an element of the Michael Palin “Around the world in 40 days” concept, with more of the treasure hunt/cultural aspect, instead of the weekly everyone-must-reach-the-same-location bit. But that’s just me….
It was actually Arti who called them The Beards. We had to review that on our TiVO just to make sure we weren’t hearing things.
They already did that local US version of the amazing race with families. It was US only with only one trip out to Panama and Puerto Rico. [ which in reality are just US protectorates of sorts ] [Yes I know Panama is an country unto itself too :)]
i don’t forsee AR going to one country only…the family season was a huge BUST…
right now from morning reports, survivor had it’s lowest opening in ratings EVER in the 13 seasons…
treasure hunters used to be on NBC.. it was HORRIBLE..well the host was constipated…where they galavanted around the US visiting historical sites, etc… i was bored in less than 20 minutes
perusing the world especially watching those who haven’t ever left their neighborhood, let alone been on an airplane (aka the coalminer), is funny to watch..and endearing…
but i’m sick of having the token barbie dolls vs ken dolls vs gay couple vs asian brotherhood vs all that nonsense… we need to mix it up.. make it a potpourri of folks…
eventually it will turn into the ‘real world’ where everyone sleeps with everyone and a showdown ensues…
Oh that family edition was AWFUL, sooooo dull.
I agree, Chick Pea, I’d like to see one season where it gets totally messy!
And while we’re at it, I’d like to see less fish eyeball eating and a little more demonstration of people having to navigate using their wits and intellect.
reality tv with wits and intellect? that in itself is an oxymoron filmiholic ;)..
maybe i’m just jaded and miss my ‘real’ tv shows and am still irked that arrested development was cancelled…
