The Amazing Race

Somehow I got suckered into this show last season. Not that that is a bad thing. I thoroughly enjoy it, and I am able to take geography lessons @ the same time. I find it interesting how my loyalties change as each new couple is left behind (as I am sure is the case for everyone). For instance, I disliked Lori and Bolo from the get-go, and then, last week, when they were booted, I found myself missing them. Friggin! The same goes for John and Victoria the week before. They could not be nastier examples of humanity, and I kept wishing for them to be last in an elimination round, but when they were finally told they were the last to arrive, I was saddened. The remaining couples, while all young and attractive, are very cookie-cutter; no one stands out. The question is; when did my mind changeover from looks to personality? I have to believe that in my early twenties, I would have been all for the really hot folk, and could have cared less about the interesting, vicious, non-conformist players. Is it the age change? Just the maturity levels? While the show remains tense, I don't find myself voting for any of the last 4 couples. Somehow, we must let an evil couple win, just so I can have something to complain about. It appears I will have to wait til next season, as the remaining contestants hold little interest, aside from their buff, fit bodies. I guess I can settle for that. Hmm...
