Top 10 Amazing Race Moments

<< < (3/9) > >>

Belle Book:
Here are my comments on the list:

BEST LOL MOMENT: Swiss Cheese Task in First Leg of TAR14  That was funny, but the real LOL moment for me was when Nate & Jen's donkey hee-hawed at them right after Jen told Nate not to yell (while yelling herself).  It sounded so much like the donkey was laughing!   :lol3:  I also preferred "My Ox was Broken!" from Colin.
BEST OVERACHIEVING MOMENT: Charla Carries 55 lbs of Beef on her back, TAR5  Can't disagree with that one.
BEST DISPLAY OF KARMA: Uchenna & Joyce shave their heads for Fast Forward... then win TAR7  I'd put that in a tie with Kat eating meat despite being a vegetarian and then winning TAR 14.
BEST FINISH: Chris & Alex Pass Tara & Wil to win TAR2  I think that would be the best one because it's the closest one -- and because I loved seeing Wil lose!
BEST NSFW MOMENT: Underwear Running Road Block in Russia, TAR14  What is NSFW?  Anyway, I agree.
BEST BREAKDOWN: Mika is Afraid of a Water Slide in Dubai, TAR15 (I'd have chosen Flo in the Vietnam.)  Either Mika's fear or Flo's breakdown in Vietnam will do.
BEST COMEBACK: Jet & Cord Last to First, TAR16 Alien  I like this choice, but Colin's catching up to Karen at the Roadblock in the Philippines was also great.
BEST OMG MOMENT: Claire's Watermelon Smash, TAR17  I agree.
MOST HEART WRENCHING MOMENT: Luke Loses the Million Dollars, TAR14 Alien  Lena's failure with the hay bales was more heartbraking for me.
BEST HISTORY MAKING MOMENT: Nat & Kat Are the First All-Female Team to Win TAR, TAR17  OH YEAH!

It means Not Safe For Work. Basically it refers to something that would get you fired on the spot if your boss caught you watching it. (ie. Adult Film)

I agree with half of the CBS list, but here are some alternatives I like better than their choices:

LOL Moment- this has got to be Andrew marching at the Kolosok Military Camp in Russia in AR13

Comeback - I like Colin using his extreme sports background to demolish Karen's 40 minute lead and overtake her on Lagen Wall, El Nido Island, Philippines

OMG Moment - Rob and Amber sitting on the American Airlines plane pull back in to pick up Uchenna and Joyce, taking aware their guaranteed victory

Heart-Wrenching Moment - either 1. Jeff and David made a split-second decision in Cairns, Australia to fly to Sydney 3 hours away while the other two F3 teams went north to Tokyo. Jeff and David discovered in Sydney there wee no flights until the next day. This put them almost one day behind and gave them no chance at a win or
2. Lena tackles the hay bales at Bogs Gard farm in Sweden, failing to find a single clue in 100 tries when 7.7% of the bales had clues or
3. Gaghans get eliminated in Costa Rica after Tammy failed to find one red bean in 800,000 non-red beans for a long time

BEST LOL MOMENT: Swiss Cheese Task in First Leg of TAR14. I disagree. I found it funny, but I thought My Ox is Broken was better
BEST OVERACHIEVING MOMENT: Charla Carries 55 lbs of Beef on her back, TAR5 No complaints here
BEST DISPLAY OF KARMA: Uchenna & Joyce shave their heads for Fast Forward... then win TAR7 Really? I was thinking the Cho's giving Kentucky the FF in Kuwait.
BEST FINISH: Chris & Alex Pass Tara & Wil to win TAR2 Yes!
BEST NSFW MOMENT: Underwear Running Road Block in Russia, TAR14
BEST BREAKDOWN: Mika is Afraid of a Water Slide in Dubai, TAR15 Eh, no. Colin's Jail was better
BEST COMEBACK: Jet & Cord Last to First, TAR16 I disagree. I think this was more of a selection to please fans of the Cowboys. I don't think this was the best comeback. The leg was kinda wonky if I remember right.
BEST OMG MOMENT: Claire's Watermelon Smash, TAR17 Yes!
MOST HEART WRENCHING MOMENT: Luke Loses the Million Dollars, TAR14. This is one that I don't get at all. I mean, it was sad, yes, but to call it the most "heart wrenching moment" is far from the truth. Slave house in TAR 6, Gaghan's elim in TAR 8, David/Mary's elim in TAR 10, and Zev/Justin's Elims in TAR 15/18 are all more heart wrenching than this imo.
BEST HISTORY MAKING MOMENT: Nat & Kat Are the First All-Female Team to Win TAR, TAR17

slayton:
I don't know who actually decided on the list, but I think there's something wrong with having 3 moments from the first 7 seasons, and 7 from the last 5.

For CBS to call it "Top 10 Amazing Race Moments" and not include Brian & Greg wrecking their car is outrageous.
