There's a lot to be said about the last few episodes of The Amazing Race: All Stars. But the thing that has been most interesting is the airport. The challenges have been rather disappointing (Joyce in an interview today said that the challenges weren't as physical to accommodate Charla, which I don't buy at all...they had tough challenges on their season, and poor Sara had to climb and run with her artificial leg last season). Making a fabric print or tuning a piano isn't very difficult - certainly not all-star difficult.
What has been difficult is the traveling. I don't think that there's ever been a race where so many legs have been decided because of airport issues. One factor certainly is when the race was filmed - they started right before Thanksgiving, and traveled all through the holiday season where flights are harder to come by. But it's not great television to have teams be essentially eliminated before the leg even starts.
I continue to love Danny & Oswald and the Beauty Queens (and how much did you love Eric saying "Ladies & Gentlemen, Miss California!" when Dustin threw up?). They are both running good races, and seem to be nice, decent people. Here's hoping for the first all female team to win. And here's also hoping it's not Mirna & Charla. I can't handle how horrible Mirna is. (though I do feel for Charla...it's got to be tough enough to put up with Mirna's shouting, then to have to watch it again on tv...yikes). Every team I've seen in interviews talk about how they like Charla...most leave it at that.
