Danny: I thought it was ingenious. While there were some poor leg designs (weak challenges and teams falling way behind at points), disappointing winners and sometimes the hype wasnt metit was never boring. This is the kind of friend I have. Eric/Danielle - while I strongly disagree with their inclusion on All Stars, they werent necessarily boring and still contributed enough to the drama of the season (Eric was funnier with Jeremy though). While the Zanzibar section is pretty average (fish puzzle, delivering logs and throwing a rungu were dull), I do love legs where teams get to keep their lead from flights and it feels like a genuine race. Some may find them annoyingbut never boring! They eventually made it to the final three despite not winning any previous legs, and managed to be the only team to properly complete the final task to eke out the victory over Dustin & Kandice and Charla & Mirna. And of course, TARs closest race to the finish occurs as Chris and Alex pass up the team theyve been helped by the entire time on the run to the finish line. Usually winners dont affect my season rating much, but it was such a terrible result (considering what could have been) that I may have given this season 9/10 if Dustin/Kandice, Charla/Mirna or Oswald/Danny won. Have you ever considered it? The Beantown boys close in like sharks behind a trailing Tara, ultimately overtaking her and later Wil just yards before the finish mat. But that doesnt take away from the neverending flow of one-liners and awkward moments you provided. I think thats the best way to put it. I really enjoyed this first All Star season and there was some great drama and personalities throughout the whole season (the final 4 all delivered in entertainment, drama and storylines). You know you want to answer it. A starting or finish line is not going to make or break a season but it doesnt hurt to have something iconic, for example if they wanted a Miami start, have it on Miami Beach instead of a random mansion. AfterElton.com had the chance to talk to them following their elimination from Sunday nights episode of The Amazing Race: All Stars. Polar opposites in fact, and thats what makes this team so great. While there were some very dull leg designs, this drama made the season fun. 1.Leg 8 - Poland (F6 - Joe/Bill eliminated) - this leg did have some design flawsbut I dont care, it was entertainment from start to finish!

The teams made it entertaining but lacked the drama of previous legs and challenges felt underwhelming. Due to not knowing each other as long as their competitors had, the two often had to work on their relationship, bickering multiple times throughout the race. He's joking but all it really takes is a dash of patience and a lot of respect for each other. Charla/Mirna are great as always - getting snubbed by the rude Polish men, not understanding the piano tuning (being like why are we rubbing it?) and then switching to the mannequin and struggling at that too (the mannequin breaking apart but It will get fixed at the hospital haha). Wil does not like these Boston boys. Even challenges like white water rafting are a waste since no returning players would find it difficult or have any dramas. Are Oswald and Danny still together? - Question Library There seemed to be a lot of conflict between the last four teams. The last few seasons have had less airport scenes but TAR11 has some of the best airport fights and scrambles in history (with some taking up half the episode). Oswald: Actually, you know what? And I think well step all over them when we, when we need to. They should have showcased some other aspects of Guam though besides military bases. The thing is with them is they were trying so desperately to win, and they were so perseverant. The Amazing Race 2 / Characters - TV Tropes Uchenna/Joyce - they made it to the final 5 and I feel like they contributed NOTHING to the season. Danny: Absolutely. Oswald and Danny are the exception to the rule, and the friends they make along their race showcase that. Lets de-stress with a nice meal! And this is, if I recall correctly, the longest run any team has had to make to the finish line. Second team to be Yielded multiple times on the same season (following. However I still enjoyed watching legends like Joe/Bill, Teri/Ian and David/Mary who still had bits and pieces of their old characters. I dont think they wanna win that badly though.

This couple always seemed to be arrogant, no matter who they were talking to. I started watching the series on Gary & Mallory's first season so I decided to go back and watch the seasons I've missed. Who is still together? Oswald/Dannys stunt car Fast Forward wasnt that great, climbing the ladder with ninjas wasnt great, kicking down doors wasnt great, and pulling the gnome across water wasnt great. Posted: May 1, 2007 4:59 pm. Notes: Oswald: That's Danny's type. Teri/Ian - similar to Joe/Bill in that they didnt make much of an impact here but I enjoyed watching them for the nostalgia and the charm of seeing the return of Teri/Ian. Wil would do something questionable, Tara would mouth off to Wil, and it would just get worse from there. Her name became the shortcut term down the years among fans posting online for a local person helping a team a lot as in "Jack & Jill found themselves a Fern and so managed to find a shortcut to the mat to beat out Frick & Frack." You can tell I'm really into Season 2. They were both living in Los Angeles, CA, at the time. Danny: Oh! Danny: I will tell you that my friend pretended to be hesitant, but he was ready to go the second we were contacted, it wasnt even funny.

Competing on opposing teams in The Amazing Race 9, Eric & Danielle began dating after their season and returned as a couple in All-Stars. 1: Leg 7 had an unaired Roadblock. Tara however, is not a fast runner. Usually Leg 2 would not be this tense! There were also too many non-eliminations towards the end when returnee seasons would benefit from earlier non-eliminations to keep these teams in for as long as possible (Unfinished Business does this). Too many action movie tasks and did not show off Hong Kong well at all (visited a laundromat, abandoned building and a jockey club). But ultimately the novelty of seeing returning players and small moments made episode 1 just passable (Oswald/Danny weve heard of Rob/Amber because we live on this planet, Joe/Bill feeling like the gutsy grannies, Ian being old and crotchety looking, Mary accidentally calling Rob/Amber Rob and Kim and Kevin/Drew Peru is nice - Were in Ecuador haha) but only fans would appreciate this leg. But here is where the race keeps anyone from pulling a Joe and Bill. Was your british colonization joke in bad taste? (on Mary and Peach) Dave: Mary and Peach theyre uh, theyre tough. The only team to damage their reputation would be Kevin/Drew. Oswald: From season two. Over the seasons, viewers have watched some dating couples get engaged on the show while others at least gush about how working together on The Amazing Race made their relationships stronger.

Leg 4 - Chile/Argentina (F8 - Rob/Amber eliminated) - fantastic episode because of the downfall of Rob/Amber - Robs meltdown misspelling Philippines, fighting with Charla/Mirna over a taxi, Amber leading Charla/Mirna the wrong way, Mirna overtaking Rob at the letter Road Block and the foot race with Mirna screaming LEVEL 5 ON THE TREADMILL!! Danny: That is the recipe. From there on out, Tara insists on working with them even when Wil disagrees. 6. David/Mary - and once again same as Joe/Bill and Teri/Ian - I enjoyed watching them and there were glimmers of their old selves but they didnt make much of an impact. Rob was still his arrogant self by saying Uchenna/Joyce have no idea where theyre going and it made their downfall even more satisfying. Oswald and Danny met in 1994 and gradually became friends. And guiding a horse half a mile in armor was a TERRIBLE challenge that was saved by Charla being hilarious (98% of teams would breeze through this challenge in a boring manner). AE: You guys touched on this a little earlier, but what did you think about the other gay team on TAR - Bill and Joe? Oswald: We went in to represent ourselves. Below you will find both a partial written transcript of the interview, plus the full mp3 audio of our discussion. Kandice And Dustin (6 Legs) It can take half a season to become emotionally invested in teams but here you care about teams in episode 1. Obviously, this rubbed just about everybody the wrong way, for reasons that are totally understandable. Danny: I wouldn't want to lose my best friend. Eric/Danielle were on a later flight and just never caught up. Cant remember anything they did in their 1 leg here besides driving to the wrong entrance of the park and saying America has had enough of Rob/Amber. 11.

Oswald and Danny Make Friends Across The World, The reservation agent told us, Im gonna help you, and the only reason Im gonna help you is because you guys are the only ones who have come in here calmly, and politely.. Eric was a huge drama queen after both of his Yields which was funny in a way. They always looked like they were enjoying the race and had a very sweet bond that was nice to watch. Hometown: And of course it included Charla/Mirna fighting with Dustin/Kandice on the side of the roadand then screaming at their taxi driver ($20 for food I give you. I do enjoy airport scrambles and there were good and bad aspects of teams falling far behind (made some legs duller, but in some ways it was fascinating). Taking into account Charla's height impairmentwe thought it was admirable that they came to win and represent themselves. I didn't know you had to put on an Italian accent to have people understand you in Macau. Nothing. I don't even get a third race with you? Will the combination of this big-city girl and self-proclaimed "beach bum" be a viable force to reckon with or will the other Teams discount this new pair who has never before raced together as Team?[1]. I especially loved the week you chased him around the Pit Stop covered in coal. Her sister Peach on the other hand, needs a lot more coaxing and pushing, being more of the pampered indoor type.

Danny: Absolutely not. Itchy and Scratchy, Gary and Dave - 5th Place. Danielle whined a lot and Eric wasnt supportive (and made jokes about her boobs and mocked her hairdryer). someone like Oswald could be strong enough to endure the kind Oswald: I think there's a dog rivalry going on here. Always a pleasure to have on screen, Ozzy and Danny are my second favorite team for TARs second season, and luckily for me they return for TARs first All Stars in Season 11. Leg 12 - Guam (F4 - Oswald/Danny eliminated) - an exciting final 4 elimination leg despite weak challenges. I was so sorry to see you eliminated last night. Possibly the perfect summary of Team Cha-Cha-Chas existence on the race is the Hong Kong -> Sydney leg. Dana Borriello and Matt Stefanina competed on The Amazing Race's 28th season in 2016.

Oswald Mendez and Danny Jimenez are a team of Best Friends on The Amazing Race 2 and The Amazing Race: All-Stars. Attaching bolts was terrible but saved by Charla/Mirna screaming about step stools (and Charla almost hanging herself) and the piano tuning, noodle making, Guam care packages and climbing bamboo with ninjas was only interesting once again because of Charla/Mirna. Rachel became just as much a source of frustration as Brendon, largely because she spent almost all of her time crying. Brendan was probably one of the rudest people that ever participated on the show, even though he couldnt hold a candle to Jonathan. Challenges like guiding a rat has no potential to be interesting and is more luck dependant. AE: As a matter of fact, I do. Eric, who works as a waiter, enjoys his laid-back lifestyle and lives on the beach in Florida. 13. Hopelessly stressed, Mary drags Peach onward to the detour where they choose to drink a bitter herbal tea.

Wil does indeed, for the most part, act like a child. Oswald and Danny are the exception to the rule, and the friends they make along their race showcase that. Airports also played a big role as Teri/Ian, Joe/Bill and Uchenna/Joyce were all eliminated due to planes (and also Eric/Danielle finishing last in Hong Kong due to a flight). So much fun banter, even small things like Joe/Bill saying Ian was crotchety looking or Oswald/Danny complaining about Kandice snoring haha. Now that production knows what kinks to work out, Season 2 becomes Season 1 with something else - excitement! Movies. Set up early as the sneaky, conniving team, Blake and Paige become the ultimate underdogs by the time the finish line rolls around. They were sneaky! If anything, the Amazing Race god wanted them to use it. When Danny's life partner died, Oswald was there to help, and in Danny's words, the two "became partners in crime."

Danny: Go ahead. - Challenges and locations were mediocre but casting is the most important element and generally they made dull challenges and locations interesting.

First co-ed team to win the race without winning any previous legs. AE: Got it. The Most Controversial Amazing Race Contestants in History - TVOvermind There was a lot of tension because we were the last four.

Some fun banter with Rob commenting on Erics obsession with Danielles boobs. But they didnt make a huge impact here honestly besides some witty quotes here and there.

But not just that - it had Mirna saying she does more than anyone ever haswhile Charla forgets their bags haha Plotting Magellans journey was a tough task with many teams struggling and switching to the compass challenge, and another Charla/Mirna meltdown when carrying the logs! They never felt malicious and were very likeable like when they decided to paint a girls nails for free in Mozambique. I get they wanted a snowmance but Eric/Jeremy already proved to be a dynamic team. Leg 11 - China (F4 - Non elimination) - had lot of fun drama and each of the final 4 delivered in entertainment. What strengths and weaknesses do you bring to the Team? Charla/Mirna were just hilarious - Charla throwing up the sausage to fit more in and Mirna yelling IT TASTES LIKE POOP! (and Dustin/Kandice cant stop laughing at them), Mirna has another huge taxi meltdown (Im crying and hes laughing!) and Charla struggling to guide the horse and falling over in armour (Im going to Hell for laughing at Charla but it could be the funniest moment so far).
