Why are Americans so dumb? Why do they all think they can win the amazing race?
Take for example, old grandparents who vehemently believe they can win the race. Ohmygesh, oh pul-sease, It is impossible. You need a combination of luck, wit and strength to win the race. Stop daydreaming about the million dollar cash prize, you should have worked harder when you had the vigor.
Example number 2, father and daughter team. Again its about strength, poor old daddy will never make it. Unless you fathered your child when you were a minor, why not just watch the race from the comforts of your home.
Example number 3, couples who claim they want to build their relationship. Ok, so these people do at least have some chance of running the race decently. However, they usually land up screaming at each other half the time because they cannot read the map, the do stupid things like filling petrol into a diesel tank(happens every season), they jump at the chance to blame each other etc. They blame each other too quickly.
I am always amazed at the rubbish these Americans say, how they think so highly of themselves, how they all think they will win the race.
At first you think, woa, confident people. After some time, I think there people just do not know their limits. Thus, the cliché ,"Empty vessels make the most noise"
You see the fire and aggressiveness in their eyes, but really after 5 seasons, I know better and I scoff at them.

Hahaha, certain truths you present! Amazing Race always bring in an old couple, i believe, to distill hopes for the lesser capable. It's good to bring them to the race to show that they can achieve to a certain extent. To them, it is the journey, not the destination to gain one millions. Likewise for the parent and kid team to show how kinship work in the competitive environment. I can see that the bond of kindship actually manifest through the race, which is more worthy than just monetary rewards.
I agree with you to those who want to rekindle their broken relationship through the race, end up sorer than before. Gimme a break. If the couple cannot get along well in the normal lifestyle, how can they tolerate with each other through harsh competition? Nevertheless, the producer might just wanna add more entertaining drama (which I watch with amusement of their stupid intention), realising that they end up in two separate lifes.
The boastful comments made by the teams, perhaps, are deliberatly crafted by the producers. Well, reality show is never a reality to full extent, the producers only highlight what the audiences want to see like bickering, emotional break-down.
Hopefully they can get some decent Asian team in the next race.
PS: Can't stand the cocky Married Entrepreneurs. What business do they do? With that kind of characters, I bet that their business will wind up in less than three years after the show, not to mention losing the one millions.
