I have always liked the first few legs of the The amazing Race! Although the second legs have proved to be boring to me. Hopefully this one will prove to be a better one! I hardly even remember some of the second legs of some seasons!
Here are the second legs I remember:
TAR1: "You're a fat bitch!" "LEEEENNNNYYYYYYYY!" Kim & Leslie are eliminated.
TAR2: Peggy & Claire's shocked reactions at making it to the Iguazu camp in eighth place out of ten teams when they thought they were last (and would've been were it not for Blake & Paige and Hope & Norm's bus breaking down). Hope & Norm hit the road.
TAR3: Nothing I really remember but Tramel & Talicia being so damn bad with their jetskis, or whatever those were, including them "signing off" after their elimination. So basically, Tramel & Talicia go home.
TAR4: Reichen & Chip rightfully face off with Steve & Josh over the way they screwed Monica & Sheree just to help Steve & Dave. Steve & Dave's street troupe Fast Forward. Masquerade ball Roadblock that leads to the Monica & Sheree/Amanda & Chris footrace. Amanda & Chris lose it and are out of the race.
TAR5: "You gots to go to Uruguay to go to a foam club." "Mine keep having sex!" "You might have to put your hand in the cow's ass." Start of the Chip & Kim/Kami & Karli rivalry. Alison & Donny are off to sequester after going from first to last.
TAR6: Meredith & Maria can't drive stick. Introduction to 6/6 Roadblock rule. Viking games. Meredith & Maria are sent packing.
TAR7: Rob vs. everyone over being a liar. Brian & Greg/Megan & Heidi footrace. Megan & Heidi get booted.
TAR8: Secret Service Roadblock. Battlefield Detour. Renee, Brittney, and especially Denny pile on Brock for Denny's mistake. The Weaver Family snags their first and only leg win. The Rogers Family gets the boot.
TAR9: Stair-climbing, ascender Roadblock that scares Danielle. "I'm gonna slap you, woman!", complete with Phil's hilarious "If looks could kill . . ." eyebrow raise. Lisa & Joni make their exit, and Lisa cries. A lot.
TAR10: Dustin gets dragged by a horse. Dustin & Kandice and Erwin & Godwin's helmet fiasco. Flaming arrow Roadblock, Peter & Sarah's first of two leg wins. Lyn & Karlyn beat out Kellie & Jamie since at least
they know how to navigate. Kellie quits the Roadblock after being there for three or four hours. Kellie & Jamie are tossed.
TAR11: Boardroom Roadblock that Dustin and Mary totally blow through. Rob & Amber's booty-shaking dance when they win their second leg in a row. Kevin & Drew's semi-sad, semi-not-so-sad departure.
TAR12: Ronald reveals he's kind of an ass. Hoist It/Hunt It Detour. Ditch-vaulting Roadblock that Jason, Shana, Rachel, and Marianna blow through, while Jennifer, Kynt, Hendekea, Donald, Christina, and Kate (I guess) struggle at it. Ronald gets his hernia. Kate & Pat hit the bricks.
TAR13: Tina allegedly gets the planes switched. Ken kisses Terence. Marisa & Brooke follow Nick & Starr and wind up at log-hauling Detour when they wanted the shipyard one. Kelly & Christy's unnecessary digging and subsequently forgetting to get their taxi to stay at the Roadblock. Ken & Tina's first of three legs wins in a row, this one just barely over Mark & Bill. Aja's hilarious "Aw, hay-ell!" Nick screwing over Andrew at the Roadblock. Anthony & Stephanie take a powder. So . . . basically, the point in the season in which things were still exciting and not too anticlimactic (thanks for that, Nick & Starr).
