AMAZING RACE PHOTOCAP: You Shall ‘Roo The Day

The Amazing Race: Unfinished Business continued its aforementioned unfinished business this week as the teams continued to trek through Australia. The added twist this time, however, was that the gang had to spend an arduous portion of the leg dressed as silly kangaroos, replete with bouncy shoes. It was really just the producers’ attempt to …

AMAZING RACE PHOTOCAP: ‘Unfinished Business’ Leaves Us With… Unfinished Business

Based on the miniscule marketing surge behind it, you might not have realized this, but The Amazing Race: Unfinished Business premiered on Sunday with eleven of our most somewhat memorable teams ever. We had some colorful faves like the cowboys (Jett and Cord) and the Harlem Globetrotters (Flight Time & Big Easy). Also returning were …

Furthermore, who do …

MUST WATCH: Finally, An ‘Amazing Race’ Clip For Our Inner-Gallagher

The Amazing Race may have finally lost the Emmy for Outstanding Reality Competition, but that doesn’t mean it’s not outstanding anymore. Take, for example, the clip above, which CBS leaked from the upcoming seventh season. This is a FAIL if there ever was one. Via Reality Blurred

AMAZING RACE PHOTOCAP: Well That Was Anticlimactic

I haven’t done a photocap for The Amazing Race in weeks, but I thought with the finale last night, why not write something up. Stuck with just the cowboys, the brothers, and Miss South California & Co., the hour basically hinged on one thing: make sure that spoiled brat Caite didn’t win. She and her …

AMAZING RACE PHOTOCAP: Feces For Everyone!

I was bored; so I did a little Amazing Race photocap. So far I’m loving the new season, and even though some people have complained that this batch of racers may constitute the dumbest group of all time, I say that makes it all the better. After all, what’s more fun and unpredictable than watching …
