The Black Family are like the Brady Bunch minus the charisma. I do not think they will be exciting to watch had they not been eliminated.

Go go Gaghan!

It would have been great to see those kids (the Black) in action. Pero I really want the Incredibles family to win this one. They are such a great family.

I wanted the Paolo family to be eliminated first kasi they seemed disfunctional. anyways, they are still in.

One of these days, either one of the Paolo family members will reach their breaking point, and that could cost them a whole lot.

On the first episode, the Paolo kids acted like dumb and dumber...

i really like the Gaghan Family!! the kids are really competitive! galing nila!!

well i don't like the Black Family although they are nice... feeling ko sobrang weak yung mga kids nila... ccomparing their kids to the Gaghan i think almost the same age lang naman sila pero mukahng mas marurunong and mas competitive yung Gaghan. the Black kids couldn't even row properly... getting a bucket of water lang nahulog na, di pa makatayo sa sarili... sorry i know a lot of you like the Black family... yeah they are nice but not competitive enough in my opinion...

Paolo Family... too much yacking and bickering!!!

look at the dad, napapailing nalang sa sigawan ng nanay and 2 anak!! haha

yung family na 4 ladies (3 pink shirts and 1 blue shirt), ang INGAY lang nila sakit lang sa tenga!! hehe

i was just thinking, sana they got 5 SMITH families... or 5 JONES familes... common naman yun surname eh... sarap sana discussion natin dito sa forum!!! ang gulo!!! hahaha

this show is becoming boring. I wonder why Studio 23 bother buying this. They should have known that these people are not going outside of the US. One of the show's appeals is seeing Americans look stupid in foreign lands.

The primeteime telecast seems to be needing more advertisers. During breaks, instead of seeing product ads, you get to watch Barkada TRip and ads for Studio 23's shows. Maybe the show is really losing audiences.

They ARE going outside the U.S.

They'll be eliminating teams within the U.S. for the first few episodes to save on travel expenses. (40 people instead of the usual 22 people).

Among the countries they will be rumored to be visiting: Panama, Costa Rica and Canada.

But it's also fun to see Americans act stupid in their own lands.

This "Family Edition" is more of a Road Trip than a race around the world--you already know that the travelling is limited to the Americas once the opening credits showed a huge American flag, and the "destinations" in the official web site just shows a map of the USA, Central America, and the tip of South America.

I don't know, but I'm enjoying this edition, just seeing "normal" families race across the USA and having fun while doing it, and almost all of these families are likable (except maybe for the Schroeder Dad, who's a jerk).

I'm in the minority here, but I don't consider watching obnoxious asswipes like Rob Mariano as "entertainment"--it's more of like having your teeth pulled out.

I hope you're right! I also thought this installment would be confined to the US, especially after the first few minutes of yesterday's show. Phil's opening narration has always been "...this was the (first, second, third...) pitstop in a race around the world." Yesterday, he said, "...this was the first pitstop in The Amazing Race."

Although the quality of the show may have gone down to those of us who've been watching it from the start, its American ratings are picking up, thanks in part to its three consecutive Emmy wins. Frankly, despite being confined to the US, I still find this reality show way more interesting than any recent Survivor or Pinoy Big Brother.

I hope Studio 23 sticks with this show, since I really can't stand watching AXN's edited broadcasts. Ever since they started cutting 2-3 minutes out of all their programs, AXN has been dead to me.

Hi... pls correct me if I am wrong... yesterday, i watched the primetime episode of amazing race sa studio 23. I started watching around 8pm kasi akala ko 8pm ang start. Pero when i turned on the tv, nasa kalahati na sila ng race. And the show ended at 8:30pm (followed by CSI).

I think they moved it to 7:30pm wednesday nights primetime edition.

it's always been 7:30... please refer to the first page of this thread. (it only becomes 8pm sometimes because they would run late due to the live programs that precede it... like the news shows or some sports event.)

They will be out of the US in the next episode...yipee (ho-hum)!

AXN has bought the TAR Franchise. They have the license now to do an ASIAN TAR, same format and concept with only Asian contestants.

But no Phil K.

The Schroeder family got eliminated, but the Paolo's are still in the race. Whatever's holding them together amuses me...

Klaus Weasley · « **Reply #47 on:** Oct 23, 2005 at 06:31 PM »

What's even more painful: The Schroeder family got eliminated in their own hometown. They don't even get that consolation prize of a brief sightseeing vacation which is usually given to eliminated contestants. Their house was also destroyed by hurricane Katrina. They're currently staying with the Rogers. They said they like everyone but the Weavers.

meron pa bang nanonood sa inyo nito??? la ng mga comments eh!! haha

I'm looking forward to watching the nxt ep. of TAR: Family Edition. Sa tingin ko, this season will be wrapped up sooner than expected. In two weeks, two families will be eliminated, tapos final four agad in the final 2 episodes.

The family teams that remained:

Bransens
Gaghans
Godlewskis
Linzes
Paolos
Weavers

Just a reminder that DST ended in the States last weekend, so if things go as they have for the past couple of years, then starting tomorrow, the Studio 23 Live Feed will now be at 10:00AM on Wednesdays.

"you can do it mom... no rush."

aaaaargh! i wanna strangle that kid!

Klaus Weasley · « **Reply #52 on:** Nov 02, 2005 at 04:54 PM »

No reason to watch any further except for the finale. The Gaghans were the only ones left who I was really rooting for.

Awww,

why did you reveal...?

Glenn Patrick · « **Reply #54 on:** Nov 02, 2005 at 07:28 PM »

Go Go Go Paolo Family!!!!

Klaus Weasley · « **Reply #55 on:** Nov 02, 2005 at 08:31 PM »

Dammit.

It's the Gaghan mom's fault they were eliminated. They may have gotten the red bean sooner had she just got down there and just shifted through the beans with her hands like everyone else.

might be because the 'rents are doing most of the work and are so exhausted from it. that mom took too long to find the bean... they should've let the annoying little kid look for it.

Klaus Weasley · « **Reply #58 on:** Nov 03, 2005 at 08:53 AM »

There's a HIGHLY reliable internet rumor that .... (POSSIBLE SPOILER)

The Linzes won it.

Klaus Weasley · « **Reply #59 on:** Nov 03, 2005 at 09:12 AM »

The Weavers overtaking the Gaghans reminds me so much of the time Colin and Christie overtook the Bowling Moms. (Villainous team defeats the "nice" team).
