sabBoy do I love this season's Amazing Race.
I am FURIOUS we've lost "Lifetime Friends" Debbie and Bianca! They were marvelous, MARVELOUS, powerful and full of love and respect for themselves and each other and the great nations of Peru and Chile, and they were the only ones who spoke Spanish (and brilliantly!) and Debbie ate FOUR POUNDS OF MEAT and I am heartbroken. They woulda been a tribute to reality TV. And now I have no one left to root for but the Happy Boys. *sigh*
Also, how much do we HATE that All-American couple? My GOD they are AWFUL. He's a, what, a POW and she's a beauty queen and they're only dating because for some PHOTO OP she thought a beauty queen would look hot with a young POW, and holy CRAP they're idiots. Ray and Deana are nearly as bad -- I want to smack that boy in the jaw for the way he treats his (yes, she's a numbskull, but that's not her fault) wife. Sheesh!
I respect the scrappy Meredith and Gretchen. Though I always forget which of those names belongs to the husband. And the big dumb brothers are the sweetest puppies in Argentina. And, like everyone else, both here and abroad, I hate Rob and Amber. "All I could think of is that I was burning calories! I have to fit into a wedding dress, you know?"
So, tally ho for Patrick and his mom, who just wants him to find a nice boyfriend and settle down. Way to eat some meat.
Meanwhile, on Survivor: Palau, I still maintain that this crew is STRAIGHT outta central casting. NYC Firefighter? A hunky HERO who breaks his ankle on a coconut and takes one to save his vapid blonde girlfriend, who gets cannibalized by the surviving soldiers after the hero goes down? A shelter courtesy of Home Depot are you KIDDING me, you freaks? ANGIE?
Let's talk about Angie. Angie is a TRIBUTE to all of us urban, drug-addled, tattooed artists who always thought we smoked too much to trump those athletic challenges. And she's almost SMART, bonding with Stefenie, riding that whole swell "our boys ain't nothin' special, but you should see the LADIES..." campaign for Ulong. Angie rocks so hard. It's too bad her entire tribe is going to be killed and eaten before she can hook up with Billy Bob -- Bobby Jon. Or, you know, before she can hook up with Stef and thus turn Survivor: Palau into a far, far hotter lesbian drama than the L Word no matter how much Jenny's my type. *g*
This show is absurd. It's important to make this distinction. The Amazing Race is absurd, but classy, and cute. This Survivor is just exploitative and BIZARRE. However, I will continue, intrepidly, to watch.
And now, to complete my overlate Remix.
