Amazing Race

One of my TV viewing guilty pleasures is The Amazing Race, which is actually pretty good as far as reality TV.

The show features teams competing to get to the next checkpoint, solving a few puzzles or challenges, and getting to travel all over the world. Granted, they don't have a lot of time for sightseeing. Usually the last team to arrive at a checkpoint is eliminated. This season is almost over; next week's episode is the 2 hour finale.

Unfortunately, one of the teams I absolutely despise is still in it. Tonight they came in last and I was hoping they would get axed but this round was a non-elimination round and they survived. The team that bugs me is Colin and Christie - she is fine, but he is a world-class idiot.

In a previous show, he tried to rip off a taxi driver in Africa. He was generally abusive, even to the police when they showed up. He clearly could get away with that behavior because the cameras were filming - had a film crew not been there, he would have been extremely lucky to not be beaten, robbed, and left with multiple broken bones. He also has a short temper and is always yelling at something or other.

I hope any of the other three teams win!
