And let's see how I did

Amazing Race is over for this week. Let's see how I did.

Parent/Child Pair

-Check. Older guy and a punk son. Actually really liking these two.

Homosexual Pair

-Check Twice. They also are the sibling team I predicted.

Older-Than-All-The-Other-Teams-Pair

-Check. Also newly dating.

Seperated couple deciding their relationship on the race

-Check. Dating off and on for years now.

Newly dating couple

-Check. And also satsify the religious couple requirement.

I was off on the pair of college age guys, but that's still not a bad accuracy rating. One thing I don't really care for is the inclusion of contestants who don't need the money. I know it's a competition and they don't base the reward on need, but when I recognized a constestant last year when I saw him on an episode of Pushing Daisies I realized how often this happens. This year we have a pair of Harlem Globetrotters and two women who are national poker players. Funny enough, nobody so far has recognized the guys, but the women, who were telling everyone they work for the homeless, were spotted in an airport in Tokyo. It just feels like a cheap attempt to have antagonists early on, since I just can't root for people who are doing exceptionally well in their careers.

Right now I've got to predict the gay brothers for the win. Much more functional than most of the other teams. I'm rooting for the father/son pair, but he's older and frail looking while the son seems impulsive and a little heavy and at some point that'll be their undoing. The poker girls have only made enemies so far, the old people always drop off fairly early, the perfect pair are too prissy to get the job done while the Globetrotters are walking with bullseyes on them the whole time. I'll keep you updated to see just how good I am at this.
