(Update: if you want to join in the contest, you still can! Read the bottom of this blog)
So my three picks are still alive, although I’m worried about one of them.
The 12th season of The Amazing Race started off in Los Angeles and quickly hurled the teams all the way to Ireland.
The first episode is always great. I would be absolutely freaking out if I was one of these teams, because you just don’t want to be the first one to go home. How much work did it take to even get there, only to leave after one stinking leg? Well one team found out already, and maybe it’s because they cheated.
Thanks to Tracy and Jina for joining in on the Amazing Race 12 contest, which should be fun. Here are the picks made by the three of us:
Mike: Azaria/Hendekea, Rachel/TK, Lorena/Jason
Jina: Azaria/Hendekea, Rachel/TK, Marianna/Julia
Tracy: Ari/Staella, Rachel/TK, Jennifer/Nathan
So with that being said, poor Tracy already lost a team. The cheaters: Ari/Staella.
If you are going to steal someone’s taxi, be prepared to endure karma’s payback. Also, be nice to donkeys. Probably yelling at it and threatening to eat it aren’t going to help you get the donkey moving.
My three teams all finished in the top 5, so I’m happy about that. I like the ones I picked, although Lorena and Jason may not last. She was trying to tell him for like 20 minutes that he was going the wrong way, and he totally just blew her off, only to find out she was right the entire time.
That kind of total disregard for a teammate wont get you far.

The Contest:
I wanted more people to play this little game all season, so if you still want in and just missed the deadline Sunday, I’m granting an exception.
But you can only pick TWO teams, not three.
Enter in your picks in the comments below and we’ll see how we all do this season!
AR Rocks! But is it just me or should this season be called Amazing Race -Southern California? 7 teams have at least on member from So Cal. I guess that goes to the new strategy of casting instead of auditions.
Seems like this season there are 3-4 teams I like and the rest I cannot stand! So with that said here are my picks: TK & Rachel and Azaria & Hendekea at least that’s who I think has the best chance to win.
But since everybody else picked them I going in a different direction and take two darkhorse teams just to make it interesting. So here are my choices: Nicolas % Donald (who can’t love a Grandpa that swears?) and Kynt and Vxysin (yes, they are hopeless locked in the 80′s). If either team makes top 5 I’ll be impressed, but it should be fun.
I haven’t seen it yet; we watch on Wednesday’s. I certainly won’t pick the one team already gone, but will add my picks on Thursday morning!
Thanks for letting the slacker(s) join up late!
Adrian and I got around to watching it last night. I like your teams Mike but to mix it up a bit I’ll pick Jennifer/Nathan and Azaria/Hendekea.
[...] Yup…soon enough, Google is going to be literally EVERYWHERE. In less than a year, gas pumps made by the company Gilbarco Veeder-Root will be connected to the internet and running Google Maps, so you can find that road you missed because you were to proud to listen to your girlfriend (I’m talking to you, Jason).

OMG, you took the Goth couple!
No problem! Just come back!
