How's Amazing Race this season? Not hearing much about it. How many teams are left at this point?

Well, it's been pretty darn good on a few fronts.
Going to cool places and doing cool things: Check. Last week, the fast forward involved feeding four pieces of fruit to orangutans in Malaysia, which is more fun than anything I've ever done that didn't involve two naked girls.
Disastrous meltdowns: Check. Last week, both Jon and Kelly and Millie and Chuck made huge errors. Apparently, Millie's and Chuck's were huger, and they got bounced. Also, Tian and Jaree's going mental at each other every episode (until the one where they were getting along great and got eliminated).
Questionable decision-making: Check. The NFL wives' use of the fast forward.
People making fun of other people: Check. Millie had a huge mole on her face, and everyone else would say "milliemilliemilliemiillieMOLE." Good times.
Sadly, what it's missing is any real stand-out personality driven story lines. The leading teams are all kind of blah. I think they were hoping that the father-son team did better, where the son was a Jack Osborne type megalomaniac. But they lost early on. As did the NFL wives who were kind of fun.
It's down to four teams: Kelly and Jon, Chip and Reichen, David and Jeff and Jon and Al. Once again, women aren't faring very well. I bet if they do it again they make all teams MF to even it up. (And I know Flo and Zack won last year, I know).
