The Amazing Race 12: “The Final Push”

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Amazing Race, The, Features

Season 12 of The Amazing Race started with 11 teams…and in tonight’s finale, we were down to the last three.  Since their start way back in Los Angeles, CA, the remaining groups had traveled approximately 30,000 miles and reached four different continents.

Still in the race were Christina/Ronald (the father/daughter team once known for ugly criticisms from daddy);  TK/Rachel (the Hippies who were always very chill and pleasant with each other) and Nicolas/Donald (the grandfather/grandson duo with the oldest competitor to make it to the Final Three).

Amazing Race Team Update: Nate and Jen

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Amazing Race, The

At the end of the last Amazing Race leg, Nathan and Jennifer ended the episode on an unclear note.  Did the volatile couple break up or not?  Well, for those of you concerned/indifferent/thinking evil thoughts about the status of their relationship, we now have our answer.  Drum roll please.  They’re still together! (Cue head shaking now.)

The team I personally loved-to-hate revealed to TV Guide that after a little time apart, they realized they truly did love each other.  (In other words, they knew others would struggle to find them appealing once the series premiered.)  Apparently you only hurl insults at those you love.

In the online interview, we also learned other interesting tidbits about their experience (and costly decisions) during the race.  Why did they opt to take the subway instead of a cab in Taipei?  (They wanted to trust the locals.)  How long did it take to push that donkey along the trail?  (A whopping four hours.)  Why did Jen hate TK and his dreads so much?  (That answer was a little unclear.  I believe it’s because she’s simply a whiner.)

The Amazing Race 12: “Sorry, Guys, I’m Not Happy to See You”

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Amazing Race, The

Since the racers had traveled a whopping 4,000 miles to get their last pit stop, the producers of The Amazing Race decided to stick with Osaka, Japan for just a little while longer.  To start the 10th leg of the competition, the teams had to first travel by taxi to the the building ‘with the hole in it’ (the Umeda Sky building).  Once there, they had to locate the ‘Floating Garden’.

The first three groups (Christina/Ronald, Nate/Jen, Nicolas/Donald) kicked off the race within minutes of each other.  Standing by were TK and Rachel.  The losers in last week’s non-elimination round had to wait a whole three hours before they could proceed.  Luckily for them, access to the garden wasn’t available until 10am —approximately three hours after this leg started.  In other words, a huge chunk of time had already been erased for the hippies before the day had even begun.
