The Amazing Race!

One of my favorite TV shows is "The Amazing Race". It started out with 11 teams (2 people in a team). They all race from this place to the next place. They end up going all over the world and having to do crazy things like bungee jump, sky-dive, walk into a pool of alligators or eat something really nasty...just to name a few. I would love love LOVE to be on that show, but there's only 1 problem. I can't swim! I would try out for that show if it wasn't for that. Imagine winning $1,000,000 (that's 1 million) for just running all over the world (something that is a dream of mine anyway). I don't know if I could have walked thru the middle of a bunch of tigers likd they had to one year but most things don't seem like they would be too terribly bad. This year I'm rooting for BJ & Tyler (the hippies) or Ray & Yolanda to win. There's only 2 other teams in the race and I want them OUT. One team is usually eliminated every week.
The only thing I really hate is when the teams start being mean to their own team-mates or when they go into "Ugly American Mode." That's when they're in another country and they act like an "ugly American". Example: Last year everyone was in....I think it was Pakistan...and 1 guy refused to pay his taxi driver. They ended up at the Police Station. After alot of arguing and yellling the American guy threw the money down at the feet of the taxi driver. I was shocked. No wonder people hate Americans I thought. He knew he was gonna have to pay him in the 1st place. Why did he waste his time when he's in a race for a million $$ arguing over a few $$ ?? Plus when people do that in another country, it just makes us all look bad. That may be the only American that guy ever meets. So he's judging all Americans by that ugly one. Sad....
