The Amazing Race Category

Good news for me - bad news for Viva Laughlin fan.  The Amazing Race has been sitting on the side lines waiting for something to fail and gets it’s chance on November 4th.  CBS announced the new Amazing Race teams this week (thank god it’s not families).
I know certain people hold a lot of disdain [...]

If you haven’t watched The Amazing Race yet - shame on you. If so - how shocking was it to lose Rob and Amber (Romber) after their winning the first 3 legs of the race? While great competitors - they were the epitome of Boston arrogant and had become the team everyone loved to [...]

The ho-hum Race

In: Television, The Amazing Race

The Amazing Race ended Sunday with a whimper and controversy.
To recap - the 3 teams left had to fly from Barcelona to Paris at the beginning of the episode.  They ran around in Paris - with Lyn and Karlyn making up significant time by picking the better airport and flight.  After running around Paris, they [...]

Another Amazing Race…

In: Television, The Amazing Race

I love seeing the villains vanquished. Every season of the Amazing Race there is a villain - this year it was the beauty queens, Dustin and Candace. They were great racers, but also assholes. So incredibly happy to see them go.
Am also very proud to see The Bamas , Lyn and Karlyn, [...]

Those damn hippies!

In: Television, The Amazing Race

The end of Amazing Race 9 wasn’t as tense as the Amazing Race 7 end but it was still entertaining. My prediction of the frat boys was off but the hippies deserved to win - I love the brain teasing end rewarding brains over brawn.
I would love CBS to do an Amazing Race reunion [...]

The season finales are dwindling to a few including tomorrow night’s Amazing Race two hour end. I have to say if any of the three win, I’ll be fine with it. This year’s big bad MoJo was vanquished last week. No more crying (”this is the hardest thing I’ve ever done”). No more bitching (yields [...]

In the words of the Weavers - THANK THE LORD! (those that watch The Amazing Race understand).
First off - I love the Linzes, am happy they won, but in no way would they have competed in a normal race. They made too many mistakes and only their tenacity brought them through. That [...]

The following is from an article previewing The Amazing Race: Family Edition:
One of the first thing that hits you is the diversity of the casting. The producers, including Jerry Bruckheimer found a winning formula from the beginning, pulling on the diversity of the nation. What makes a couple? Man-woman? Man-man? Father-son? Siblings? Every year, they [...]

About this blog

Ostensibly A Rubber Door is about anything that's on my mind. Mostly that seems to be about politics, music, sports, and arguing with others about all of the above. I took the name of this blog from a Michael Penn song called Me Around. Check out Michael - he's about the best singer/songwriter there is.
