Is anybody watching The Amazing Race? This is the first time I've followed this show. It's down to the final four now. I'm really pulling for the father-daughter team, Ronald and Christina. A lot of people hate Ron, but being a Chinese-American, I can say that much of his behavior is standard operating procedure for Chinese parents. Not that he doesn't have his flaws, but I'm sure many of Christina's good qualities come from him.
I don't really dislike any teams, but I disagree with the Internet consensus. TK & Rachel (the dating hippies) and Nick & Don (the grandson-grandfather team) seem to be the sentimental favorites, but I can't get on board with their seemingly casual approach to the race. It might get a little ugly and stressful with Ron/Chris and Nate/Jen (whose fights are pretty entertaining), but at least they're showing some tenacity.
The finale is this Sunday, and I can't wait! I'm thrilled that Ronald and Christina made the final 3, but bummed that we won't get to see the trainwreck that is Nate and Jen's relationship again. Then again, seeing them get eliminated (on Jen's birthday!) last Sunday was a hoot. ("I can't believe you're treating me so bad on my birthday!" "We killed our relationship!") The last leg is in Alaska, so there aren't any language barriers to trip up anybody. TK and Rachel, being the youngest and arguably the most athletic team, would seem to be the favorites to come in first, but they seem too inept and mellow to take it. They bore me, too. Nick and grandpa Don are kind of entertaining with their sometimes salty comments, but they're too slow. Somebody analyzed the preview and predicted Ronald and Christina, winners of the last leg, would take the million-dollar grand prize, based on facial analysis. (They seemed to be more happy and content compared to the others, implying Ron/Chris were in control.) Daddy and daughter would be deserving champions, having won 2 legs in a row and 3 overall. Ron and Chris for the win!
