The Amazing Race > The Racers
TAR 20: Joey Lasalla and Danny Horal *Friends*
ryanmissing27:
you people are all terribly judgemental which really defies the true nature of the race: seeing the real people behind the gimmick that got them casted. yes ive seen jersey shore and i have my own opinions about those people but these guys really surprised me, they didnt seem to be playing it up for the cameras at all, they were just racing, they weren't villainous, misogynistic, disrespectful or rude as im sure we all assumed they would be to certain extents. what's to say they're not out to prove that "guidos" are not just the dumb party animals we've seen on jersey shore? what's to say they're not out to break the stereotypes? do they really have to announce that they're going to do it? i sure dont think so. give them a chance.
as for the name "fitness", haven't we had "big easy" and "flight time" twice in the past? and "coach" or "fabio" on survivor? i dont think its any more ridiculous than any of those
and for not being able to drive a manual i would hazard a guess that at least one other racer this season can't but either they didn't have to because they sky-dived or it wasn't shown because it didn't change placements, whatever.
given that the race has shown us the people behind clowns, beauty queens, goths, amputees, achondroplasiacs, deaf people, aspergers and countless others in past seasons, what show have you been watching that you don't even give these guys a chance before deriding them as "obnoxious, self absorbed", a "casting joke" or "high school douche jock"?

They aren't offensive, and they aren't very good, so I think it will be amusing to see them bumble along. I don't mind him being called Fitness - it's goofy, yes, but it's a nickname. I just don't like Joey "Fitness".
"Herbert 'Flight Time' and Nathaniel 'Big Easy', you're team number two!"

I'm not sure why they are so hated, either. :duno: To me they seem a LOT more likeable than 95% of past all-male teams. They actually seem to have some sort of personalities, unlike many other past all-male teams like Eric & Jeremy or Dan & Jordan. Having said that, I don't tend to like too many all-male teams! :lol:

ryanmissing27, I see you quoted my high school douche jock. I know it's unnecessary for me but I wanna say something :lol: I do not hate these guys. Infact, I am rooting for them. If you see my signature. I'm totally flashing my support for these walking tans. The comment was meant for Joey's nickname Fitness. It reminded me of the linebacker we had in high school, where he labels himself as THE WALL. Lol.
As for the haters, your'e all grown ups. I respect your opinions and even the most shallow reasons why you hate them. So, let's just all enjoy the show. :hrt: :hearts:
