TVガイドに"10 Most Memorable Moments"が挙げられていました。 懐かしいシーン、あるでしょうか?
1. Gutsiest Performance(Season 5) Little person Charla racing with a 55-pounds hunk of meat on her back in Season 5. "She was the smallest person with the biggest heart." says Race host Phil Keoghan. "If you look at that, everybody was saying she couldn't do it, and she's probably heard that all her life. But she knew she could do that challenge and she did."
2. Dumbest mistake Four of eight teams putting regular gas into their diesel cars in Portugal in Season 3. By ignoring all the signs calling for diesel, the teams proved Keoghan's point that racers "stop thinking about basic things when they rush."
3. Most disgusting meal The live octpus entree in South Korea during Season 4. As the main course wiggled, contestants had to swallow it. Keoghan reminded the teams that "for the locals, it's a delicacy. It's no diffrent than us loving a hamburger." Except that hamburgers don't walk off your plate.
4. Oddest mode of transportation The bubble-like "zorbs" in Season 5, which teams used to travel down a hill in New Zealand. "I did the guinea pig test of them," says Keoghan. "It was the closest thing to what you imagine floating on a cloud would feel like."
5. Best line of dialogue Kevin yelling, "Swing, you fat bastard, swing!" to Drew as his teammate hung on a zip line over a gorge near Victoria Falls, in Season 1. "Watching him hang seemed so funny to me," says Kevin. "People still yell that phrase to us. It's become a term of endearment."
6. Most dramatic sacrifice Joyce getting her head shaved in India in Season 7. "As the hair came off, an internal transformation happened," she says. " I felt liberated. Later we learned that when a woman shaves her head, it's good karma. Maybe that was the key to our success." They won the race.
7. Most frustrating Challenge Searching for a clue in a giant bale of hay in a Swedish feild during Season 6. The challenge was too much for sisters Lena and Kristy, who struggled so long to find the clue that Keoghan had to come to the hay field to eliminate them. "If Phil hadn't shown up, we might still be out there," Lena says.
8. Sneakiest maneuver Rob taking the four-hour penalty to avoid eating four pounds of icky-looking meat in Season 7. By convincing two other teams to join him, he saved his stomach and his place in the race. Recalls Keoghan: "what I loved is he used [his brain] to manipulate the situation."
9. Saddest Moment Watching the faces of Race's youngest competitors, like Carissa, 9, when their families were eliminated this season. "You're telling a kid he's lost, and he thinks he's not good enough," says Keoghan.
10. Best side trip Danny and Oswald going on a Hong Kong shopping spree during Season 2. Even though the other teams stressed about getting to the airport, these friends followed their strategy of asking a travel agency to book their flight, leaving them with enough time to shop for cologne.

今シーズンのCarissaちゃんもランク入りしましたねぇ。 Joyceの剃髪シーンも泣けました。 ホントは10個に絞る事が出来ないくらい、もっと色々な シーンもあるのだろうなぁ。 そういえば、そのJoyceさん、 1月16日 Style Networkで放送される「How Do I Look?」で Makeoverするそうです。 今後は女優業にもチャレンジするとか。
Saddest Momentの2位は(7. Most frustrating Challenge でもでましたが)TAR6でLenaとKristyがスウエーデンでエリミネートされたとき。妹Lenaが"I didn't want to let Kristy down..."と言った後、姉Kristyが涙流しながら"You didn't..."と小声で言ったのが超印象的。
それに7. Most frustrating Challenge の2位はTAR8のCosta RicaでのRoadblock:Tammy Gaghan(母)の赤いコーヒー豆探し。探せなかったため、ビリに落ちてしまいました。TAR6のLena/KristyのHaybalesの悔しさがよみがえってきました。
