Amazing Race 2019

Two hour finale episode for THE AMAZING RACE 2019. From London, England to Detroit, Michigan. London to Detroit. UK to USA. Some of the legs of the race they had were nothing as sort of running errands but their strength, courage without fear in being hoist down the tall building with just a harness and ropes tied to their body? That's totally scary. Some contestants memory are so amazing especially in decoding important military messages: FAITH PREVAIL EVIL.
and the Dunkirk message that they will never surrender. You should watch the movie DUNKIRK.

One minute of rowing a boat to a designated point that's incredible. A lot of practice for such incredible race. Only Christie and Colin team was able to do such boat race (how many hours to be at such point in just 59 seconds?) Olympic athletes do such thing perfectly in years of practice. Colin and Christie probably are very athletic and had tried that before. And for Colin to open the bank vault with ease, easy as pie? WoW! Holy mammoth! That's totally, totally incredible, unbelievable. Colin's probably "James Bond." lol

Colin & Christie won the AMAZING RACE 2019 and all its glory winning the million dollar prize.

 Tyler & Korey came in 2nd (although they won so many prizes in many legs of the race arriving at the PIT STOP)

 and Jamal and Leo came in 3rd.

Colin & Christie, Tyler & Korey, Jamal & Leo were previous teams who already been contestants on AMAZING RACE. They are the "repeaters."

AMAZING RACE CANADA will begin on July 2, 2019.

Amazing Race 2019

You think that when these Amazing race contestants reached Switzerland they wont do any kind of task that will harm them or anything risky is out of the question. However long and behold that each one of them has to do the bungee jumping from up top of the cliff, 400 meters from top to bottom of the cliff where rushing water flows on rocky side. Then to walk on the hanging net where they have to reach for the clue (envelope) for the next task. A helicopter waits for them so that they can do the next task. The other contestants decided to try their luck on riding the tram going up the hill and have to memorize the name of those places that will be part of the test on top of the mountain overlooking the hydro dam. More mountain climbing and hiking and lastly they have to jump to reach the envelope for clues until they reach the last leg of that episode and have to meet Phil Keoughan at the Pit Stop, in a century old church. It's not that bad really, if you will just watch it but for those who will do the stunts, of course that's scary. Wanting to win the $ 1 Million dollars probably makes them do these incredible stunts no matter how hard and no matter how death defying. Maybe they all are fit, healthy mind and body that they can do the many rigorous stunts. Fortunately nobody was eliminated in this leg of the race. Tyler and Korey won in this leg of the race.

That's Why It's Called Amazing

I think AMAZING RACE was not broadcasted on TV last week, two hour episodes were shown on TV last Wednesday night.

OMG! Dubai is absolutely beautiful. I love those skyscrapers and tall towers. The ultra-modern structures are incredibly amazing! Those talented architects are really very creative and their imaginations out of this world.

Let me borrow this picture from Google. Thanks.

It's the famous DUBAI FRAME. The world's largest frame structure. Dubai has effective strategy to let the world knew about their futuristic endeavour and what  the extra terrestial entities will think about those structures from above. Eye-catching! It was there to show something out of the extraordinary. From being a rural fishing village and now look at this village. It means you wont believe what a lowly-downtrodden village of what will it become years from now once billionaire developers get in to their business of improving the lives of those whom they want to help. It's more like a cycle.

Contestants of the Amazing Race got their clues from on top the giant frame (access through the elevator) then only to be amazed that they have to skydive on top of the highest tower Burj Khalifa while the rest of them have to gather eggs at the Dinosaur Park while wearing dinosaur suits/costumes to wait for their turn at the "skydiving." They also had the tasks of finding another person inside the club who had the same "music" being played on their headphones.  Long & behold that the "skydiving" was just a virtual reality and test followed after. What is more shocking is the zipline from the top of the building down to the designated place for the Pit Stop. Wow! It reminds me of the movie DIVERGENT. Winners of this leg of the race: Becca & Floyd.

Would you like to do those tasks? It's kind of weird and risky to do the zipline above those skyscrapers. The risks imposed on who will do the zipline and the people who are down below. Whatever! That's how its being played in AMAZING RACE and you just pray that everyone are mentally and emotionally healthy in all those tasks provided by the host Phil Keoughan, and the producer of this hit show AMAZING RACE.

Their tasks in Uganda is the downside of being in Dubai. Gathering firewood, loading them on bikes then tread on muddy roads. Cleaning fillet of fish, separating the bones and the skin of fishes beside a pile of garbage. Sorting out different colored drums.  Life in Uganda is somewhat nothing to be compared to life in Dubai. The highs and lows.Winners of this leg of the race: Tyler & Korey

What they are up to next is...you have to find out next week.

Who cares?

Season finale of the SURVIVORS: Edge of Extinction. I wonder who will win this time. Lauren still in the survivors group. Although the prize for this survival game show is worth $1 Million in U$ dollars, the game was actually tough and almost like a torture. They were not punch or hit hard to sustain body injury but they were deprived of sleep and luxuries they once enjoyed in their homes. Their games are sure to give the contestants the taste of backbreaking and nerve wrecking emotional and physical injury but you can see how each one of them has turned so skinny, losing so much weight. Sleep deprived, food deprived and what else they were deprived of as if they were prisoners during the Japanese war of the 1940's.

Have you seen the movie "Bridge On The River Kwai?" Survivor game show is just like that.

Next. AMAZING RACE continues tonight. Last week the cast and crews were in Vietnam to finish their tasks of learning how to ride the motorbikes after they had a snowy winter sliding down through the mall covered with snow and met the white bear that handle the next clue. Then they were asked to go to the canal made for irrigation system and how a different kind of wind/waterwheel can fetch water to fill up the ceramic jars. That's right they were asked to build one water wheel, one for each team or choose to ride the big bilao. Weird. When it's easier to fetch the water manually from the waterways. To ride the big bilao to the water stream and take the mudfish from the handwoven basket on another side of the canal seems easy but there are bullies along the path. It's a canal not a river. Maybe that's brook for you but it's more like a canal. lol. Jokers.

Next. Hannah's time as the Bachelorette. Hannah supposedly the lady that Colton had chosen to meet his parents in Denver but something happened between Colton and Hannah that brought somekind of dark side or twisted story to their romance. In the end Colton had chosen another woman. For whatever reason the host of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette  brought Hannah back to the limelight and had chosen her to be the next Bachelorette so that she'll know what kind of show they were up to. Well, I don't know what this show is all about. This show is one hell of a weird show. But many women are thrilled and they think this is the right vehicle for them in finding the man of their dreams. For men, those single men (yung walang sabit) who are looking for their perfect wife to be this show is the right vehicle for them. However, for women having to choose their right man and to look for the husband to be, this is not the right way. Well, it's in my own opinion. Woman... to choose from among 30 different men, kissing and cahorting with a man that she likes while the rest of the men wait for their turn. It's like a wine tasting and food tasting in a restaurant. Oh, maybe this is a vehicle for would be actresses on how they deal with  "actors" for a certain storyline that best fit their show. Whatever. Or could be a place of training for "      ". Whatever! The only thing that some viewers would look up to whether their bet is Hannah's choice. Do you think the guy who fathered 114 children will win? How about the pilot named Peter? How about Tyler? Or the man named John Paul Jones who is a look-alike of McGyver? Maybe Cam? Or the guy who jumped from the gate down to the mansion to meet her? The adventure they have to endure such as bungee jumping and a lot more actions. This is an "acting class." Maybe they were trained to act and what else they are up to is not our f' business! That's right! I don't care!! If they want to be stuntmen and stuntwoman let them be. Fear Factor is worse than this show. In FEAR FACTOR the game show the contestants are asked to eat live maggots or eat bugs. So this show Bachelorette and Bachelor is mild in comparison with Fear Factor.

For those AMAZING RACE contestants they should pray that they wont eat scorpions or grasshoppers or eat snake's liver which was done in the past. The worse thing about Amazing Race is the death defying bungee jumping, climbing up buildings and mountain climbing to the edge of the cliff and sky diving.
