I have not been blogging about The Amazing Race, but have started watching again this season. I have been a huge fan since Season One and even converted some non-watchers into TAR lovers, but just did not get into the past couple of seasons, due to schedule and other things. I have been watching The Amazing Race All Stars from the first episode though.
I told Eric Lindholm at Viking Pundit a couple of years ago that I wished they would do an all stars show. He was not crazy about the idea then, but I think the all star show has been pretty good. This week was huge seeing the Phil-imination of Rob and Amber. My girls were cheering when they got eliminated -- especially after Amber's lie to Charla and Myrna. I am going to go read Eric's update now. If you have not watched the show, give it a try, either in the first runs this season or in reruns from previous seasons on cable. It is a really entertaining show with little geography and culture lessons built in as an extra bonus. Reality t.v. at its finest.
Pat Curley also has a great recap with lots of funny moments from tonight's showdown between Myrna and Charla and Rob and "Ambuh."
Lorie,
I continue to condemn All-Stars. Now who do I root for? Uchenna & Joyce who already won a million dollars? Gidget & the Midget? The token gay couple (OK, two of them)?
Least favorite TAR season except, of course, the execrable Family Edition.

Stop being such a downer. If nothing else, the All Star edition was worth it for the joy of watching Rob and Amber get beaten by Gidget and the Midget.
I was sad when Ian and Terri didn't win the million the first time around, but admittedly that was largely due to the fact that the whining chick beat them by just seconds.
Maybe instead of pulling for someone to win, you can pull for someone to lose every week. We sure were pulling for Rob and Amber to lose last week.
