The Amazing Raceコミュの【予告】TAR7-7: "Houston, We Have an Elephant!"

写真が消えているのに、一生懸命更新してくれているKenChanへ。ありがとう！！なんだか可愛くて笑えてしまった。MIXIのバグに違いないですね。

あれ、写真が戻ってた。おかしい。
でも、お笑いくださり、ありがとう？ってなんのこっちゃ
やはり管理人ですからねぇ。。。

Meredith/Gretchenどこまで生き残るか？
車が転倒してカメラマンに負傷を負わせたBrian/Greg、最下位から這い登れるか？そしてBrian/Gregの横を素通りしてったRomberとLynn/Alexの対決はどうなるか？

楽しみですぅ！

アメリカ在住の皆さん、今晩8時（セントラル時間帯は7時より）の号外特集、忘れずに！

号外特集、よかったです。
今シーズンのはじめから7レッグ終了時点まで、未公開ビデオも含めての楽しい一時間。

ハイライト：
＊Brian/Gregはかなりのおっちょこちょい。LongBeachからLAXにドライブしている最中にクルーをなくしてしまった。。。と思ってたら、運転手のBrianの股下に。。。
＊レーサーは各レッグ出発時にお金をもらっていても、途中で他の旅行客におねだりすることが多い。それだけ金銭的にもきついレースなのだろうか、それとも先に備えておくためなのか。
＊南米を飛行機で旅行中（何処まで行くのかは不明）、途中リマ空港に立ち寄ったが、飛行機待機時間が長いので、Brian/GregとMegan/Heidiが、ホテルにチェックイン！ラブラブのようです、この2チーム。。。きわどい。。。
＊Lynn/Alexがサンティアゴからメンドーサまで運転中、アルゼンチンど真ん中の高速道路沿いにWAL-MART Supercenterを発見！Alex: "Yeah, it's super-scary..."アメリカ企業のグローバルリーチを実感。
＊第7レッグ終了時点で残った5チームはかなり競争精神が強いチームばかりだが、ほとんどみんな旅行面でのAmazing Raceも満喫している。そして、行き先の文化や風習をこよなくエンジョイしている様子。それこそがAmazing Race挑戦者の資格ではないでしょうか。

TAR7からCBS.comにてPhil Keoghanのリクエストにより、"Mat Chat"ビデオが見れるようになりました。Mat Chatとは各チームがピットストップに到着した時点で、そのレッグの体験談をPhilと話し合っているところを記録に撮ったものです。次の到着チームが来なければ、長い場合45分マットにたってPhilとぶっちゃべっている様です。（Lynn/Alex）
http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race7/insider/ に行くと見れます。タイトルに"Mat chat"が含まれているのがそうです。

えっ。。。そんな未公開シーンがあったのですか。。。逃してしまったです。クスンっ。どこかのサイトで見れますか？見逃した私に情報下さい！LOSTを見て興奮してたので、チェックするすらしなかった。。。。。

みきやん、残念ですね。
残念ながら、Bittorrentユーザが誰かネットでシェアしてなければインターネットでは見ることは出来ませんが、みきやんシアトル在住じゃなかったでしたっけ？VHSに収録したので、来週お貸しできますよ。どうです？見ます？

未公開シーンは、昨日放映した分以外にももっともっとあります。http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race7/insider/ 参照のこと。

Amazing Race Goodies You Missed!
by Ethan Alter

When you're a contestant on The Amazing Race (Tuesdays, 9 pm/ET on CBS), you quickly get used to having a camera constantly on your tail as you race around the world in pursuit of $1 million. Of course, that means that every funny, foolish or ・as in the case of "Boston" Rob ・downright devious thing you do has a good chance of being shown on national television.

But for every memorable moment that makes the final cut, there are at least a dozen more that the audience never gets a chance to see (even if a few do turn up on the CBS website). Here are a few examples of incidents that didn't air, direct from the mouths of this season's recently Philiminated racers.

While passing through yet another airport, mother-son team Susan and Patrick Vaughn were told that Susan's backpack weighed too much to be allowed on the flight as carry-on luggage. In a rush, they unpacked the entire bag right then and there. "Mom pulled out a hair dryer, makeup kit, a curling iron," Patrick tells TVGuide.com. "I had no idea all that stuff was in there!"

The gambit worked, though ・Susan's newly lightened bag was deemed the right size and weight to be allowed on the flight. "It weighed like six lbs. less after that," Patrick remembers, laughing. "I wish we'd have seen that on the show ・'What's in Susan's bag?'"

Mom, for one, is glad that America missed that moment. "I didn't think it was that funny," Susan says matter-of-factly.

It's become a common refrain among ex-Racers that the show's editing made them seem worse than they really are, but you rarely hear contestants complain that the editing made them less funny. Best friends Megan Baker and Heidi Heidel ・aka "the Barbie twins" ・feel very strongly that viewers never got the chance to see their sense of humor come through.

For example, during the shopping challenge in Chile, the duo kept their spirits up by fooling around with the merchandise. "At the fish market, all the other teams put their fish in a bag, but I wanted to have some fun," says Megan, "so I carried the fish like a baby and we ran through the streets wiggling it at people." Hmm... maybe you had to be there for that one.

One of this season's most memorable moments so far came when Rob bribed a Chilean bus driver to keep the back doors of the vehicle closed so that the other teams would be delayed in getting off. But according to engaged couple Ray Housteau and Deana Shane, the original plan was much worse.

"We were going to hijack the bus in the middle of nowhere," reveals Ray, who adds that he cooked up both this rotten idea and the door trick and then enlisted Rob's help. During the long ride to Arequipa, the bus made rest stops along the way. At one of these stops, Ray and Deana and Rob and Amber planned to bribe the driver to leave before the other teams got back on the bus.

"We were going to strand those teams in the middle of a remote mountain area with no other bus coming through for 24 hours," says Ray. "But by the time we were able to bribe the driver, some of the teams were already back on the bus and we couldn't do it. Had we pulled it off, it would have been a classic moment. Of course, then I wouldn't have as many people coming to my wedding."

Hey, after hearing this, a few guests might change their minds yet!
