Amazing Race 27

Yes, that mom is annoying. I was glad to see that she was given a penalty for shouting advice to her son. She should have known that you cannot do that! I’m getting a little tired already of the conflict between the brothers and the ‘green team’. The brothers seem to have a nasty streak to them, despite their continual citing of how religious they are.

Sorry to see the dancers go.

I got to watch for the first time last night. What does #chacattack mean?

Cindy & Rick’s last name is Chac.

I’m so disappointed that the brothers went home. They were great.

I am enjoying the season! Really sad to see the brothers go. So far, I like the track girls and the newscasters. That mother is REALLY annoying! I would imagine the targeting of the green team will backfire on the Texas boys.

I feel badly for the mother. She didn’t support her son when he came out and now she seems to be struggling with how to deal with their new relationship. I wish the son would realize that parents make mistakes and then move on.

I find both the green team and the Texas boys annoying. I didn’t mind seeing the dancing brothers go. They just seemed too laid back for a couple of homeless people fighting for a second chance. Track girl are my favorite so far.

Ugh. Was really hoping for a non-elim night. We haven’t had one yet, right?! I really, really liked the brothers. Super disappointed. Please bring them back sometime!!!

Man, what a WASTE of an express pass! Those two should kick themselves!

Justin is SO annoying. He’s just going to be that kind of guy. The cute guys need to get past his annoying habits and just play the game.

Seems they have traveled to Africa a lot lately on the show! Too cool.

Yeah, that was really poor timing on the express pass. Their singlemindedness on eliminating the green team may be their undoing.

Bad luck with the Express Pass. I wonder if anyone will use the U-Turn and who they will give the Express Pass to. I wonder if they could say " give it to whoever comes in last today".

Although Justin is annoying, the boys are making themselves very unlikeable. And their very poor decision with the express pass illustrates that they really don’t know how to best play this game. I like Cindy and Rick, and Kelsey and Joey.

I find Justin annoying but I don’t really dislike any of the teams.
Kelsey is on our local news and I wish she was as relaxed in front of the camera on the news as she is on the race. Prior to the race I watched Kelsey on the news and thought about how lucky she was to have landed her job. How many young people want to be a reporter versus number of jobs available.
I love seeing all the locales in Africa and South America.

Well, now there’s a team to dislike: Chris and Logan! When every other team, without any hesitation whatsoever, puts every dollar they have in the donation box at the orphanage, Chris very carefully removes $20 from the $160 (!!!) in his wallet, tells the children what a generous gift he’s giving them, and then drops it in the box. Phil finally succeeds in shaming him into donating the rest.

But Chris’s stinginess of spirit knows no bounds - as they’re driving away from the pit stop, he berates teammate Logan for not having u-turned another team when they had the chance!

Too bad, so sad when they make a stupid mistake on the next leg and fall to last place . . . Karma’s a bitch!

The track stars made a stupid mistake. How anyone does not read each clue carefully after this many seasons just amazes me.

The reporters are the only ones who don’t make a scene and can hold their own against the boys and the green team. I’m routing for them.

What is it about Anazing Race that makes it seem so much faster? Like before you know it - down to 5 teams? Paparazzi needs to go - too annoying, both of them. Reminds me of that couple with the great Dane on Dog Show movie - anyone else know that movie? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rARKAStGRy8

Green guy needs to be nicer and more supportive of his partner. I think I would have really struggled with the pronunciations in that Rap challenge. Do you think it is non-elimination?

I think it’s an elimination leg because it’s a two-parter.

Seems like they’re replacing non-elimination legs with two-parters.

Was a bit surprised that virtually no one knew the proper French pronunciation, on either the flight task or the rapping task. The paparazzi woman came closest but even she wasn’t entirely correct.
