*** The Amazing Race 24: All Stars; Sunday Feb. 23 *** (1 Viewer)

Dave and Connor seemed like big babies after they were U-Turned. It is part of the game. I like them more than Brachel, but damn, man up.
1/2 :goodposting: Seemed like Dave was the one really acting like a baby; Connor was fairly silent about it. Agree though that it made them look bad, and it made the Afghanimals look mature in comparison.

Sorry to see the Globetrotters go, but they've just not been in it all year. Those guys have been strong in other seasons; shows how competitive this season is.

Agreed, especially the "60 year old man" stuff. But I also think it is stupid to use a U-Turn to come in first place on a leg. The only times I would use it would be for revenge or to not come in last. It's not worth getting a target place on you otherwise.

It was cool that Dave & Conner were upfront with Leo & Jamal and helped minimize the impact on them.
Why is it stupid? They won $15k. It isn't a million, but it is a nice prize. I'd want to finish first too. How were Dave and Connor helping Brenchel before?

This isn't Survivor, the other teams can't actually do anything to you aside from help other people. The globetrotters were so far behind it didn't matter anyway. I don't think Brenchel will be helped less or hurt more than they already were. Dave and Conner were already helping the girls, not helping the cowboys, etc.

I personally hate when people get bitter during a game like this. They get u-turned and get pissed, yet they u-turn Leo and Jamal and it is all good. Leo and Jamal understand it is just a game and they are enjoying the experience. They also knew they were almost done with the donkey toy anyway. I liked Dave and Conner before this episode, but I like them a lot less now, especially Dave. I like Brenchel more because they are playing to win.

I am too, they always are having fun. But, they should have been gone in Rome. They got lucky that all shared the answer and outran the other couple.Rule #1 in AR - Read the Clue. If you get stumped, read it again!

Rule #2 - know your way around a map.

:yes: All good points.

Other teams can use a future U-Turn on you.

 
Man, the non stop cry over getting u-turned and they U-turn another team. hypocritical crybaby. I hope they go home next with another busted achillies.

I think this is Leo and Jamal's to lose this season. They are playing a pretty steady game. Lost all respect for Dave after that U-turn #####fest. Sack up

 
I never liked dave and connor; crying all the time, whining about his achilles, btching about getting uturned, complaining about how old he was. BLOUSES.

I hope Brenchel send those weenies packing.

 
Have to agree about Dave and Connor whining about being U-Turned ... or I guess really only Dave, to be accurate. I guess he thinks because he is 60 that he should get a free pass and teams should not be allowed to compete against his team.

Shut up.

 
When Dave and Connor and the Cowboys were racing to the U-turn, Dave clearly was last. I couldn't figure out why they got first choice at the U-turn.

I think I heard somewhere that he is a 60 year old man, who also may have blown out his achilles at some point in the past. I am guessing the cowboys were just in awe of this and let him go first.

Don't forget that they're Mormons.

 
Another non elim. I'm okay with it since the ladies were at a huge disadvantage unless Rachel had done it too. Maybe they will be someplace warm soon wearing bikinis.

Team accident is still complaining however the "woo is me" stuff from Rachel and her boyfriend is tiresome too. Interesting to see who the Animals uturn. Might be last time this race for a uturn too.

 
I guess I've never paid attention to their shirts, but Brendan and Rachel's shirts say Brenchel's with a dog or wolf. So it's Brenchel's dogs?

I just thought it was Brenchels ... plural.

(I may not be spelling Brenchel right, but you get the point.)

 
Can't stand the whining about being u-turned. Yes, you got u-turned...why, cause you're a threat. Consider it a compliment you old ******* and stop whining about how you're Methuselah with a busted everything.

The worst is those blonds being helped in every challenge...they're awful. And then screaming, "we did it!" after every challenge that someone helped them with...worthless freaking leeches.

Brenchal is awful but at this point...it should be them, cowboys and afghanimals.

I've actually been pulling for afghanimals to win this thing...they have the best attitude and have fun on each leg.

:goodposting: Hated them the last time they were on as I found them extremely annoying. But they have been fun to watch this year.

Hoping for them, the Cowboys and blondes so it really comes down to a race of 2 as the blondes have no chance.

:popcorn:

 
So this is what the "Save the Boobies" campaign was all about. I will laugh my ### off if they pull a Beakman Boys.

and :lmao: at Afghanimals and Cowboys in such a rush to beat each other that they run past the elevator while Dave and Connor who had resigned themselves to 3rd stroll in for first place.

lockstep my friend

 
So are the blondes being carried to the finals because everyone thinks they'll be easy to beat?
The Blondes might be the luckiest team in AR history. They almost never do any tasks on their own and when they are finally out, they have a Non-Elimination (twice). I'm starting to think tht one of them is married to the Producer of the show.

I'm starting to think they're going to win, though I hope not. :oldunsure:

I'm with the others; rooting for the Afghanimals now. Cowboys are my second choice, and I hate to say it but would actually root for Brenchel after that, given all of Dave's whining.

They need to outlaw teams helping other teams.

It's ridiculous

 
damn you editors for making me pull for the Brenchels. (I want to shoot myself for even typing the word brenchels.)

 
Well that NEL is a bunch of bullsht. The producers pull that crap whenever they want. Does CBS rig all of their show these days?

Why didn't Dave run up the mountain to carry blondy's jugs?

It's gonna be so sweet if Brenchel win the show, just to see them throw it in the face of the nerd herd.

 
Where were Blondies' allies for the final task? Seemed as though Dave should heroically stayed behind to carry Short Blondie and her jugs (all of them) up the hill, since they're quality people.

 
No amount of editing and luck could make me root for the green team.
Particularly since they said if they win they're going to procreate.
Which begs the question, how much money does it cost to procreate? Didn't she already win $1mil on Big Brother? I would think that's enough. I know I did it on far less.
I'm sure it took 3/4ths of that to get him to marry her, so going to take more to make a baby with her. :X

(I may not be spelling Brenchel right, but you get the point.)
So, it's just me?

Not sure the significance of the dog, but the shirt says "Brenchel's" and then on the back of the shirt it says "...BACK!" Get it? They're saying Brenchel's back on AR, but made it funny by putting the word "back" on the back. Oh, they're so clever.

In her season, the winner won $500k before taxes, so she probably took home around $300kish

Still. I had far less than that when I procreated.

Everyones different.

Who knows what types of debts they have (Brandon was going for his PHD, which might have racked up some serious school loans) and whether she saved or splurged some of the winnings.

 
"Brendan, they're bullying me." LMAO

Too bad for the cowboys. Leo and Jamal said a long ago that they had to get rid of them. They would be too tough in the final three.

 
That U-Turn is a killer, way too imbalanced of a penalty. The non-emlimation round speed bump penalty always ends up being only few minute time penalty where as the U-turn thing is a death sentence.

Yeah, I always hate the u-turn when it's right before the pit stop. I'd rather have it first in the leg--detour/u-turn/roadblock--than at the end.

That said, navigation has always been Jet & Cord's shortcoming. They could have been up to the u-turn early enough to u-turn the country girls and have a shot at it. They get lost far too often.

Ive said it before, I'll say it again, they need to add the U-turns, (the now defunct) yields, and fast forwards to every leg. Just have every leg have at last one of those (except when they get to final 3 obviously) And teams can only do one of those (you do FF, you can't uturn, etc.) Now you got strategy coming into play as teams must decide when to use it. Obviously teams near the back will use them early on. But there will be cases where a team has 2 teams behind them and have to decide if they are better off holding onto it, or using it to ensure they don't get eliminated.

 
Afghanimals made the right call U-turning the Cowboys instead of Brendon & Rachel, they were the strongest team.

Anyone else think the Cowboys may be a bit racist? I like them but their response to the U-turn seemed a little off, especially since the Mormons chose to U-turn the Afghanimals even though the Cowboys were literally right behind them.

Brenchel's actually come in first 3 times to Cowboys 2. Cowboys seem to repeatedly get lost. How many times have they left a challenge first only to arrive at the next stop behind other teams? Heck, last night's episode alone, they apparently had trouble getting to the airport (and missing the first flight) got lost trying to find the clue in the reflecting pool, got lost going to the U-turn after the Bull Run. Oh, and they had to double back on the Bull run.

I didn't catch that when I watched it but yeah.

"We knew from the beginning we can't trust them."
