the amazing race (dunno what season liao)
watched the latest installment of 'The Amazing Race'.. one of my favourite and most enduring reality shows around.. unlike the other reality shows, eg Survivor, American Idol etc.. i lost interest in most of them except for The Amazing Race, America's Next Top Model and The Apprentice... watch gals fight then smart people fight.. COOL!!
for the amazing race, the format of the show is very much the same.. race all around the world, get to your pit-stops then the finishing line then $1million dollars.. but whats so lasting of the show is that every epsiode, they go to different places doing different things.. its like doing travelling infront of your tv in the living room.. and the characters are different.. so u see a different chemistry that sparks fire.. and sometimes, u get inspired by the tight bond they elude.. touched by their gestures or words of encouragement they give each other. the end clip of the eleminated teams sometimes make me go 'awwww.'. it has the elements of fear-factor (the food they eat sometimes are gross), survivor (fight for the fittest), Miss Universe Pageant and Mr Manhunt (the contestants can be quite candy-eye), Regular Joe (then again, there are also the opposites)....and of course.. it can be quite funny..
its not like your normal made-for-tv sitcoms.. but rather authentic moves that are fit for tv... its not the awkward falls that the contestants tend to make when they are in a mad rush, or if the contestants start stripping down to their undies and then pile themselves with all the clothings they are clothed themselves with when it is a non-elimination pit-stop... they can look pretty ridiculous.. sweating profusely but dressed in winter clothes.. underwears stretched over their thick clothes etc.. ok.. these scenes are funny.. but what really tickles me is when they walk pass the clue-box a billion times (i am exaggerating) and then say out loud, 'where's the damn box!! i dont see it!! did they (the producers) put it there??' and the box is not hidden. its most of the time placed in a very conspicuous place... and they can still miss it!! and then u hear them curse, walk back and forth, back and forth...
i am mean.. i laugh at others misfortunes.. but, come on.. who doesnt laugh at mine?
