--- Quote from: apskip on September 14, 2011, 12:44:26 PM ---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

I forgot about Lena's heartbreaking demise at the Roadblock. In fact, I'm editing my picks to have that be the most heartbreaking moment.

Do you agree with the choices?
The list:
BEST LOL MOMENT: Swiss Cheese Task in First Leg of TAR14
BEST OVERACHIEVING MOMENT: Charla Carries 55 lbs of Beef on her back, TAR5
BEST DISPLAY OF KARMA: Uchenna & Joyce shave their heads for Fast Forward... then win TAR7
BEST FINISH: Chris & Alex Pass Tara & Wil to win TAR2
BEST NSFW MOMENT: Underwear Running Road Block in Russia, TAR14
BEST BREAKDOWN: Mika is Afraid of a Water Slide in Dubai, TAR15 (I'd have chosen Flo in the Vietnam.)
BEST COMEBACK: Jet & Cord Last to First, TAR16 Alien
BEST OMG MOMENT: Claire's Watermelon Smash, TAR17
MOST HEART WRENCHING MOMENT: Luke Loses the Million Dollars, TAR14 Alien
BEST HISTORY MAKING MOMENT: Nat & Kat Are the First All-Female Team to Win TAR, TAR17

Those that I bold are the ones I really agree with. The best karma moment can be also be when BJ and Tyler Yielded MoJo and then come in last. Or BQ's Yielded Bamas and come in last.
As for most heart wrenching moment, Lena and Kristy eliminated (Hello, they had a Switchback based on it), Meredith and Gretchen eliminated... anymore? I don't think Luke losing the million dollars is heart wrenching, because the best team should win.. BUT, the luck based RB which resulted in them being eliminated in India for UB was more heartwrenching.
Best Comeback.. nothing much about Jet and Cord from last to first. I think Uchenna and Joyce from 3rd place in the previous NEL and then win... (within a 2hours finale) had a BIGGER comeback moment. In fact, when Colin and Christie CAUGHT up with Bowling Moms (EEGGRGRGRGRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH moment) but you gotta agree that was indeed a huge comeback.
Best Breakdown.. TOO MANY. :lol3:
Victoria being shoved by Jonathan. Freddy screaming his head off. Hayden not being able to find the key to the correct lock. FLO IN VIETNAM gets my vote. It was not sad to watch, but hilarious to watch how she just rowed around helplessly in her oval shaped like paddle boat and then sink. That was golden classic moment! :lol:
Jobby:
BEST OVERACHIEVING MOMENT has to be Meredith and Gretchen... THROUGHOUT the race. :lol:
Hello, they beat teams like Lynn and Alex, Brian and Greg and Ray and Deana OKAY? And that was after they were stripped of ALL their money AND Gretchen having a bad fall with bloody head.
Why isn't there a MOST INSPIRING MOMENT/HEARTWARMING??
:)
I guess TAR has too many good moments!!!!!!! :tup:

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

I'm actually surprised they HAVE ANY moments from any pre-TARAS seasons. lol
Since their belief, apparently, is no one cares or remembers anything about pre-TARAS seasons. :groan:
