The Amazing Race - Season 25 - *Spoilers* - Discussion

I was surprised by that too. If that couple eliminated had only done that one, they probably wouldn't have been last! 

Wonder if any of the bd couples stayed together. I like that a guy or two helped out their partner in that first challenge.

I too thought this was going to be silly and why ruin a good thing. It was actually very good.

That dance was insane. I'd be there till doomsday trying to get it right.

I enjoyed the first episode so much. I'm already rooting for the lawyer blind date couple

There was another episode tonight. Anyone else watch? It seemed like it was going too fast. My dh & I were trying to decide if we could do the Olympic Oval challenge. I'd be the weak link but think we could do it.

There was bean??? Geesh. I need to learn to check the TV guide to see what's on BEFORE I check what hockey games are on! I'm sorry I missed it!

GA, they had the premiere Wednesday and have the episodes on Friday's, I almost missed it too! I don't think they've done it this way before. 

Looks like we have a few strong blind date teams, funny that the first 2 teams in at the mat are in it more for the money! 

My dh and I would have done the other challenge albean.

Thanks Lost. I was so surprised it was on Wednesday, now that explains it. I only knew because of the posts here. I didn't check out any epi details at the time.

We season pass it so don't have to worry, GA. 

My dh used to play hockey when he was younger, Lost. I can skate so we probably would have done it although noodles were much better than a lot of the food challenges they've had.

Those noodles are good.

What was the noodle challenge?

They had to have their partner feed them this huge bowl of japanese noodles, which are yummy imo. Easy challenge.

I would have been the one to eat the noodles!

Since everyone knows I hate winter, I'm a Canadian that doesn't skate. Tried it a few times and never had the desire to do it again. But I would have loved to see the Olympic Oval challenge.
