Amazing Race Australian Thread: this week they're paying us a visit at home

I figured I should start a new thread seeing as how we're getting the Australian ep this week.

I dunno if the show has finished airing in the US yet, but it's gotta be close to finished if it hasn't already. So tempted to look up spoilers, but must resist!!

So glad BJ/Tyler didn't get eliminated last week. About time they had a non-elim leg. Hope they end up winning.

Eric/Jeremy just suck, so I was glad to see them getting lost and ending up near the bottom of the pack for once. I've got a horrible feeling they'll be in the final race to the finish line though.

I'm not feeling any particular love of hate for Joseph/Monica or Ray/Yolanda, (though I do love a well placed, "Your momma..", so I was kinda loving Yolanda last week ), so I don't mind if either one of them wins.

Can't believe Fran/Barry have made it so far. Loved Phil's eyes almost bugging outta his head with shock when they rocked up in first place. Frankly I find these 2 annoying, so am hoping that either them, or Eric/Jeremy are the next team booted.

Bring on the Aussie leg!

Thanks very much Phee for starting the thread again

I can't wait for the Perth episode tonight. I can't believe I never saw them I saw that they're in Fremantle, I'm bound to spot someone I know in the background

How funny is it that the hippies managed to beg $300 on the flight to Perth when the other teams were given $181 at the start of the leg?

I'm sorry to see Fran and Barry go, but they had an amazing run considering how much older they are than the other teams. It was bad the way it happened, with the cab they booked not showing. And they somehow managed to get a bus to drive them to Fremantle Prison?!? I'm pretty sure it looked like the bus was empty apart from Fran and Barry (and their camera crew).

I wasn't too sad that Fran and Barry had to go I don't like MoJo anymore. I finding them really annoying last night about the Hippies yielding them. I hope they go next week and I'm hoping the Hippies will win it.

Loved seeing Perth on the Amazing Race, its been my dream for years to have them come to Perth.

I couldn't believe that Fran and Barry hailed a not in service bus to take them to the Prison. Its not that far away.

I remember how excited I was when they came to Brisbane a few seasons back. It's just cool to see your little hometown on a smash hit American reality show.

Didn't you just love the local they used to greet them at the finishing mat? Usually it's someone who has gone to a fair bit of effort, wearing their national dress and all. In Australia, you get a middle aged guy with a beergut in a polo shirt.

I thought that was awesome! Hell, I'd give those 2 money if they asked me for it. Honestly, I was never worried that they'd really be disadvantaged with no money and none of their stuff. They're resourceful, outgoing guys, they were never gonna have any problems.

Tell me about it. Lost all my MoJo love in this ep. No one disses my Hippies! That being said though, I almost wish they had have beaten Eric/Jeremy at the mat, because now those 2 idiots have yet another first place prize.

Glad Fran and Barry went. They were way overdue for an elimination.

I re-watched the episode again tonight. And when Fran and Barry where standing outside the Town Hall looking for the Prison, they were so close all they had to do was walk about 500m in a straight line and they would be there. Also to their left was a Tourist Shop and right behind them is a Travel Agent and Priceline I'm sure someone there would help. It looked like it was Saturday arvo there.

I didn't realise Fran and Barry were so close to the jail when they asked the bus for a lift! They did seem to get lost a lot, or miss seeing clue boxes right in front of their faces... I just would have prefered for MoJo to go, they're so annoying.

i havnt been really watching this season, but had to watch the perth ep, i was sitting there yelling at the tv with Fran & barry, they were so close to the prison

and the hippies, catching the ferry to Hillarys and then a taxi to freo... surely while they were standing there talking about getting to the prison someone would have pointed out that Hillarys is no where near freo and would take ages to get there via taxi

Oh I know.

I was thinking that too. But the ferries don't run on a regular basis. So the next one to Freo may not of been for another 2 hours.

The Hippies didn't go last night. I'm so glad.

MoJo are so annoying, especially Monica about the stupid yield. Yes, the Hippies yielded you, get over it. I hated hearing her complain about them being faster than them and blah, blah, blah

That was so rude that they cancelled the Hippies and Ray and Yolanda's taxis and very uncall for, but karma came up for the Frats I'm really hoping that MoJo go. All that the arguing and whining is so annoying and how rude was Joesph giving the finger to the Hippies.

MoJo are so annoying. Anyone would of yielded them as it was so close. You would be silly at that stage not to yield as they were so close behind the Hippies.

Hate the frats for cancelling their taxis.

Also you can run around Riverside Drive yelling for a taxi ... it looked like the Frats ran upto the Duxton Hotel to catch a cab. If they had run up Barrack Street and turned right they could of caught bus number 37 to the Airport

Um .. the crocodile task And swimming or sliding down the creek looked a bit
