The Amazing Race

The Amazin Race was off and running last night! The football game messed up the schedule so I had to keep checking to catch the start. Lots of unusual names and I'm not really pulling for anyone in particular, yet. I did sort of like the grandson and grandpa duo, but older folks seem to have a hard time on this show with some of the more physical things. You can get a gander at who's involved here:

The first country they chased each other to was Ireland. Looked wet and windy! The first roadblock was riding a bike on a cable, high above the ocean, with their partners eight feet below connected by a pole! They didn't say just how the bikes stayed on the cable and most of the contestants said it was fun but it looked scary as all get out to me! Next they had to pick a donkey, fill its baskets with peat and get it to move--which was harder than it sounds! One or two couples had to push their donkey to help it along!

Azaria and Hendekea hit the mat first and won a trip to Canada. Aria and Staella were last and were eliminated.
