J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff Crowned Dancing with the Stars Season 13 Champiion

After a season of nip slips, bitter jackass professional dancers, and a case of who let the mystery fart backstage; only one couple could come out on top. It was former Soldier, Actor, Motivational Speaker, and now Dancer J.R. Martinez and his partner Karina Smirnoff who beat out Rob Kardashian & Cheryl Burke AND Ricki Lake & Derek Hough (YES, That Derek Hough) to become the Dancing with the Stars Season 12 Champion.

This marks Two big firsts in Dancing with the Stars history. This is the first win for Karina Smirnoff, who nearly won in Season 3 with Mario Lopez, and has come very close several seasons afterward. This also marks the first time a Soap Star has won the show.

I thought it was a very enjoyable Finale, and the first I actually paid attention to, considering I only tune in to see who wins toward the end.

I enjoyed all the Eliminated couples coming back to dance, and really loved Carson Kressley's self-choreographed dance to Madonna's Vogue.


To me, the biggest suprise of the evening was that Ricki Lake and Derek Hough finished Third, thus marking another first (First Time Derek Hough hasn't won when sitting in the Finals).

After Monday night's Show, it was a very tight race with J.R. and Karina and Ricki and Derek tied at the Bottom, with Rob & Cheryl at the top.

The Scores shifted after the favorite performance portion of the evening, which saw Ricki & Derek claim the top spot from Rob & Cheryl.

After the instant dance round, our Top 2 JR and Karina, and Rob & Cheryl finished with a total of 112 and 113 points from the Judges, respectivly.

Astro may quit The X-Factor, accusing producers of placing him in the Bottom 2 as a punishment

It didn't take long for controversy to erupt from The X-Factor, but after Astro landed in the bottom 2 last week, and subsequently threw a temper tantrum on national TV, a can of worms had been opened.

After his bottom 2 outburst on last Thursday's show, Astro tweeted, “Its funny how people are quick to judge not knowing whats going on behind the scenes. Maybe I should have given my Disney smile instead!”

What Astro was talking about, was a conflict backstage with the show's producers. Due to sponsorship endorsements, Astro isn't allowed to air any other Earphone brands besides Sony's, however he chose to wear his own Dr. Dre earphones instead.

According to Astro, he thinks he was put in the Bottom 2 by producers as punishment for not following the rules.

In an interview with the New York post, Astro stated, “I don’t see how you can have the most followers on Twitter out of everybody in the competition and get voted in the bottom two. So, I thought something was jiggy.”

Astro's mother is supposedly telling him to quit the competition, and is also apparently siding with Astro in the ordeal, “She knew what was going on. She was tellin’ me, ‘Just leave. You need to leave and go home."

Astro states that if he's in the bottom 2 this week, he will perform because he will really know he was in the Bottom 2.

Tonight could be the end for him anyway, because of the Double Elimination. If he IS in the Bottom 3 tomorrow night, there is a chance he might end up getting the lowest number of votes.

I know Astro is very talented and very young, which could be adding to all the drama, but no one likes a Drama King, or arrogance.

X-Factor Theme and Results Show performers revealed

The Theme and celebrity performers have been revealed for this week on The X-Factor, and I feel that they really didn't do much thinking for the theme and just thought up the first thing that came to mind.

On tomorrow night's performance show, the Top 9 will perform songs about "Giving Thanks," whatever the hell that means.

Then, on Wednesday there will be a DOUBLE (OMG!!!!) Elimination, that will see two people going home, one being the person with the lowest number of votes, then the other two in the Bottom 3 will sing in the showdown.

Plus, Kelly Clarkson and Bruno Mars perform live.

Stacey Francis exits The X-Factor, Astro throws a fit after landing in the Bottom 2

On what was the most exciting episode of The X-Factor ever, we saw Stacey Francis FINALLY leave the competition after a horrible performance, plus Astro acted like a big baby on stage after landing in the Bottom 2.

I really like how they have re-worked the results show to space out Results and performances. The show started with a really good Group number, which featured LeRoy Bell forgetting to sing. I guess he forgot the performance wasn't lip-synched.

After the results we saw a boring recap of last night, then throughout the next 15 minutes of the Show, results were revealed kind of like Dancing with the Stars.

The real drama started AFTER the Bottom 2 was revealed to be Stacey Francis and Astro. Stacey Francis took the stage first and performed an off-key oversanf version of Amazing Grace. Which was kind of ironic, considering what we've seen from the online controversy about her past, she is a Scientologist.

After Stacey performed, Astro took the stage and immedietly said he didn't want to perform. He asked LA for his opinion, then decided to sing anyway. After the performance, both finalists took the stage to hear their fate. Stacey already started with the over the top dramatics by wiping her face with a tissue as if she was in Church.

All the Judges admonished Astro for his poor attitude, which made the 15-Year-Old rapper start crying.

Ultimately, it was Stacey Francis and her wet tissue who were sent home from the competition.

As the audience booed over the decision (Give me a break), Stacey continued to bring on the dramatic Diva attitude by wailing on about how she needed to take responsibility for her performance blah blah blah and how she'll blah blah blah *sniffle*.

Although Stacey seemed ok about her Elimination behind the scenes, Stacey went on about how Astro was "ungracious," and how she felt Simon, "Set up [her] demise." She also mentioned that Simon only praised his contestants on Wednesday night, proving Stacey Francis is a delusional sore loser, and has no right to to call Astro ungracious. Hypocrite much?

Anyway, next Tuesday the Top 9 will performe live, and hopefully Astro can get past this rough spot in the competition.

The X-Factor finalists impress with their performances, some of which aren't even Rock. WTF???

The X-Factor Top 10 took the stage last night and performed Rock music.

Althought for a few people that didn't do their best, I was very impressed with a lot of performances, even though there were some that could possibly not be considered as rock.

I will just sum up by telling that I liked and hated about last night's show, since I really don't have time for a full recap.

What I liked:

Astro really impressed me with his rendetion of P. Diddy's I'll be Missing You, in which he again changed the lyrics, and made it a song about all the Hip Hop legends that have died over the past few years. I really enjoyed it, although it reminded me of something we'd see as an "In Memorium" tribute to dead rappers at the BET Awards.

I also really liked Leroy Bell's performance of Bob Seger's Why Won't you Stay, even though two out of the 4 Judges called it boring (Simon and LA).

Speaking of Simon, did you guys see he now has a Twitter? Now we get to see what's in his head more than once a Week. SWEET!!!

But back to the performances, even though it WAS a little boring, I thought Melanie Amaro did an awesome job with R.E.M's Everybody Hurts.

Chris Rene, who I am a huge fan was just ok to be last night, with his Bob Marley performance. I hope he can get out of this gutter he's in, and make a comeback.

Rachel Crowe still continues to impress me, and continues to grow in my mind as a front runner in the competition. If she keeps it up, I could see her at least getting 4th Place.

What I disliked/hated:

I'll start off with Stacey Francis by saying, when she is good, she is real good, and when she's bad, she makes me want to Put my ears into a woodchipper. Last night, she was horrible with her performance of It's all Coming back to me Now. I really think she could be in trouble after that performance.

I also thought Drew didn't do her best with U2's With or Without You, and I feel she needs to step it up before the competition ends for her.

I am a huge Josh Krajcik fan, but last night, I was just in the middle about his performance. He should really stay away from the Alternative Rock, and stick to the smooth Blue-Eyed Soul he has impressed us with during the beginning of the Competition. He is NOT a rock singer.

I also feel Lakoda Rayne could put an end to Paula in the comp, they did a horrible job with Fleetwood Mac's Go Your Own Way, and I think they need to Go their own way out of the Studio and take Stacey Francis with them.


Well, I guess we'll see after tonight who will be send packing, plus Rhianna performs (UGH). Until then, like Ultimate Reality on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ultimate-Reality/275923089117298#!/pages/Ultimate-Reality/275923089117298?sk=wall

TLC doing a Celebrity Cooking Competition featuring Rachel Ray and Guy Fieri

TLC is doing what failed on NBC 5 years ago; launching a new Cooking Reality Competition featuring Celebrities.

The show, which will premier in 2012, will be called Rachel vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off, and will feature 8 Celebrities competing in two teams being mentored by either Rachel Ray or Guy Fieri, and each week a losing team will face Elimination, with the winner ultimately winning $50,000 to give to charity.

The 8 Celebs putting on their aprons to compete are

* Miss USA 2011 Alyssa Campanella

* Pop Singer Aaron Carter

* Rapper Coolio

* 80s Pop Star Taylor Dayne

* Former N*Sync member and occasional TV Host Joey Fatone

* Comic Cheech Marin

* Actor Lou Diamond Phillips

* Olympian Summer Sanders


Of the 8 Celebs competing, Seven have appeared on Reality Shows in the Past. Taylor Dayne competed in CMT's Reality series Gone Country. Cheech Marin appeared in the 2006 FOX show Celebrity Duets. Phillips competed on the 2009 revival of I'm a Celebrity...Get me out of Here, in which he won. Summer Sanders competing on Celebrity Apprentice in 2010. Coolio competed in the UK on Celebrity Big Brother. Joey Fatone and Aaron Carter both appeared on Dancing with the Stars.

Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovsky sent packing on Dancing with the Stars, after once again proving, what disrespectful, sore losers they are.

After outstaying their welcome about five weeks, Hope Solo and the very arrogant Maksim Chmerkovsky were eliminated in last night's Dancing with the Stars results show.

It's been a long time coming for the couple, who have been openly disrespectful to the judges during their run, causing a bitter exchanging of words between Maksim and the Judges, where Maksim exclaiming that Dancing with the Stars was HIS show.

The hatred and disrespect hit a fever pitch as we saw during the results show, in a Behind-the-scenes look at before the couple began dancing where Maksim looked at Hope and said very arrogantly, "f**** em[the judges]." Sounds pretty level headed doesn't it.

Hope also went in on the douchy action telling the judges to "kiss [her] booty," after she had recieved 7s for their first dance, and later added, "What we did, nobody can do, so [Judges] give us your little 8s."

When Hope and Maks were announced to be in Jeopardy, Hope gave a digsgusting, arrogant smile like she was better than everyone.

So much for the drama. Next week the Final 3 couples; JR Martinez and Karina Smirnoff, Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke, and Ricki Lake and Derek Hough will battle it out on Monday for the Mirror Ball Trophy at 8/7 Central on ABC.

Survivor's 24th Season rumors: Two Tribes seperated by gender, living on One Beach.

Survivor's 24th Season doesn't premier until February, but that hasn't kept our favorite spoiler site Survivor Sucks from finding out some info about the new season. According to the spoiler website, the 24th season will be entitled Survivor: One World and will borrow twists from past seasons.

The first major twist of the Season, is that Tribes will be divided Men vs Women. That's not all, both Tribes will live.......underwater.

Just kidding, this season the Two Tribes will live on one Beach. We have seen both twists to a degree before on the show. Survivor: Amazon and Survivor: Vanuatu both had Tribes seperated by Gender, and it worked out really well, and Survivor: Thailand featured the infamous Fake Merge which had both Tribes living on the same beach.

No word whether or not Redemption Island will return, however TrueDorkTimes shows a calander on their website which suggests Redemption Island will return.

The X-Factor = American Idol on Steroids

After much anticipation and shameless promoting, The X-Factor finally premiered last night on FOX. I have to say I was very excited leading up to the premier, and sure enough, it didn't disapoint. Between the good, bad, crazy, delusional, and sometimes Nude contestants, it was a very solid two hours.

It was fun to see Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul back together, and the addition of LA Reid and Nicole Sherzinger made the show even better. Plus the contestants were entertaining; and yes, very delusional at times.

The show got off to a good start with 13-Year-Old Rachel Crow who performed an ok rendetion of Duffy's Mercy. I say ok because why she has a good voice, she lacked control and seemed to hold the opening notes too long, "I'm begging youuuuuuu."

Although we got off to a good start with some really good auditions, including a 14-Year-Old boy who performed Cee Lo Green's Forget You causing every young teen girl in the audience to spontaneously have a seizure and a heart attack at the same time.

After a few good auditions like I said, the Auditions started to get Weird. The first Weird audition from the night name from the Artist regretfully known as Simeze. Yes Simeze had the confidence, and yes, the Arrogance to be a major superstar, he didn't measure up when it came to his voice, or his dancing.

Simeze, who said he idolized Prince performed a song and dance that would make any nursing home patient in america flatline due to shock. This included him dancing on the floor, and taking his shirt off to reveal what appeared t obe a see-through piece of material equivalent to a Wal-Mart bag.

Now of course the Judges didn't pass him through......think again. All the Judges, except for Rand...I mean LA sent him through to the next round.

Another reason the show was more like getting your teeth drilled into came in the form of a very old couple, Dan and Vanita, who said they would travel the world visiting retirement homes in an Rv if they won. This migh tbe better in the long run, considering most of their audience won't care what the hell they sound like. they wailed Unchained Melody, Simon's favorite song. Next time they need to make sure they start the song at the right time, because they started a verse late, and seemed to screech the song more than sing it.

We also met delusional, and possibly insane Nici Collins, who performed Best of my Love by the Emitions. I would have rather hear William Hung sing the song instead of her. The song wasnt even recognizeble, and included screaming the words.

Finally, the most weird audition of the name came in form of possible Mental Hospital escape patient Geo Godley; and Godley he is not. It started off rather tame, as he sang about being a stud, however it culminated when he literally went against Larry Platt's advice and dropped his pants, revealing his "Backup mic." He not only scarred millions of people, but caused Paula to vomit.

We also saw two very good auditions from Marcus Canty, who performed an awesome rendition of Stevie's Higher Ground, and recovering Addict Chris who performed an original song.

Tonight we see another Audition episode that HOPEFULLY doesnt feature any flashers, or Prince wannabees.

Top 12 men impress on first Idol performance show

Last night, the competition FINALLY got into a new phase when the Top 12 guys took the stage and performed on American Idol. It was a real exciting night of performances. Some good, some bad, and some we wouldn't touch with Steven Tyler's censor stick.

First up was Clint Jun Gamboa, who peformed a rousing rendetion of Superstition by Stevie Wonder. I know Clint is very talented, but since his antics during Hollywood week, I have a hard time becoming a fan. The performance was ok, yet it was a great way to start off the show.

The judges went easy on him and praised his performance, which contained too much over-singing. I think Clint has an awesome voice, but he needs to chill when it comes to high notes next time.

Up next was Jovany Baretto, who performed Edwin McCain's I'll Be. The performance was very karaoke-like, and I felt he was trying too hard. The Judges couldn't agree more with me.

NOTE: There isnt much recap of Jovany's performance because it was forgetteble.


After him was Jordan Dorsey who performed...............wait for it..................OMG by Usher

All I could think of saying when I found out what he was going to torture us with was, "What in the hell are you thinking."

Jordan got back to me and said, "I was thinking Usher!"

Seriously, he never got back to me, but the performance really did remind me of Jason Castro's performance of Bob Marley's I Shot the Sherrif.

The judges only didnt kill him with the comments, they talked to him like he was getting a lashing in court for a crime punishible by law, and rightfully so.

To make matters worse, Jordan even SAID he knew the song didn't fit him. At least we know your take on your performance. So much for being a legend like you said in your Interview package.

After Jordan's eardrum-rupturing performance, we heard from Tim Halperin who sang Streetcorner Symphony by Rob Thomas.

Although it was a little boring, I still really enjoyed it. He can sing. Tim Halperin actually somewhat reminds me of Tim Urban for some reason. I don't know why though.

After Tim was Brett Lowenstern, who performed Whip my Hair by Willow Smith.


No wait, sorry, my DVR accidently switched to MTV music videos mid-show.

Actually, Brett sang Light my Fire by The Doors.

I really like Brett's voice, and think it was a very fun performance.

The judges really loved not only the performance, but Brett's hair choreography, which took place during the perormance.

Before we went to commercial, Brett left the stage, but was called back by Seacrest. That is where Brett awkwardly hugged him.

After Brett was James Durbin, who performed You got Another Thing coming by Judas Priest.

It was an AWESOME performance. Enough screaming to carry the performance, and he didn't drown out the Vocals. All around a good job.

Robbie Rosen was next, and he performed Angel by Sarah Mclachlan

A good job for Robbie, but Randy didn't like it very much.

I really liked it, and so did Robbie's grandma, who looked like she was about to jump over the judges table and choke Randy with Steven's censor stick.

Anyway, Stefano Langoni performed Just the Way you are by Bruno Mars.

It was OK, nothing to jump out of your seat about. He also hit a horrible sharp note during a high part.

Up next was Scotty McCreery who sang Your Man by Josh Turner.

Just kidding, he performed Letters from Home by John Michael Montgomery.

He did AMAZING. I thought it was perfect.

The judges agreed.

Paul McDonald was next, and performed Maggie May by Rod Stewart.

It was a good performance, but I want Paul to do something different.

Jacob Lusk was next, and he belted out A House is Not a Home.

He owned the perormance. Everything about it was awesome, and made him a contender in the competition. He even made Steven and JLo cry.


The last of the night was Casey Abrams.

We didn't know whether or not he would be able to continue due to stomach problems, which he mentioned to Seacrest, who quickly backed away.

He performed I put a Spell on You, and really rocked it out. He was over the stage and proved why he was in the Competition.


My favorites of the night were Casey, Scotty, James, Jacob, and Willow

Damn it, I switched back to MTV!!!!

Anyway, stay tuned for my review of the girls and more Reality tv news.

Peace!

ABC reveals the 11 Celebrities competing on Dancing with the Stars

Ater months of long waiting, plenty of speculation, and fears of another Tea party ringer to appear on the show, ABC has FINALLY revealed the 11 Celebrities who will embark on the Journey or glitz, glamour, and Bruno Tonioli's imfamous crazy juice.

For the most part it's a pretty well-rounded cast who mant people know of whether or not they were popular years ago. Another thing I notice is that the cast seems to have no Prior dance experience. While I really enjoy seeing some experience so avoid seeing trainwreck after trainwreck compete, it's good to have a level playing field going into the Show.

The cast contains some people who have been rumored to be joining in the past (Kirstie Alley), a token Disney Channel star (Chelsea Kane Straub), and even a Playboy bunny (Kendra Wilkinson).

We also have a celeb competing who was supposed to compete in a previous edition, but had to drop out due to injury.

Rapper Romeo was supposed to compete in Season 2, but dropped out. HIs dad Master P. stepped in, and we all know how that trainwreck ended.

The 11 Celebrities competing on the Twelfth Season are:

* Boxing hampion Sugar Ray Leonard

* Disney Channel star Chelsea Kane (Straub)

* Rapper Romeo

* Actor and star of films such as The Karate Kid, The Outsiders, and My Cousin Vinny; Raplh Macchio

* Model Petra Nemcova

* Football star Hines Ward

* TV personality Wendy Williams

* Actress Kirstie Alley

* Radio personality Mike Catherwood

* Wrestler Chris Jericho

* Model Kendra Wilkinson

The Eleven stars will square off on Dancing with the Stars' 2-Hour premiere on March 21 at 8/7c on ABC.

Dancing wit the Stars to reveal cast February 28 during The Bachelor, will premiere on March 31.

ABC revealed that the Twelfth Season cast of Dancing with the Stars will be revealed during the February 28th broadcast of The Bachelor, and that the show will premiere on Monday, March 21.

Although the cast has yet to revealed, we already know that Professional Dancer, and defending champion Derek Hough, is taking off this season to film a Movie.

In addition, the ABC website has had a Cast the Season page going on their website for about a Month or so.

We'll have to wait and see if the fans get what they want in Three weeks.

Former Big Brother houseguest Adam Jasinski has been sentenced to 4 Years in Prison

Big Brother season 9 houseguest is not new to stirring controversy. During his season, the eventual Winner lost his job and much backlash for calling people with Autism "retards." Following his stint on the show, Jasinski went into obscurity until 2009 when he was arrested for Trfficing drugs and for failing to Pay Taxes for his $500,000 winnings.

Jasinski plead guilty to both charges and even said that he'd used the winnings to front the drug business. He originally faced 15 Years in prison, but had it reduced to 4 years with 5 years of probation.

Fellow season 9 houseguest Matt McDonald also faces similar charges.

American Idol is still the same show.

For months, people have questioned how Idol would be without SImon. The Answer: The same show it has always been. The premiere last night pvoded, that the show is still as good as it has always been.

Last night, the Judges went to East Rutherford, Ne wJersey to audition hopeuls for the Tenth Season. We saw some good, bad, and even some down right weird auditions.

The worst and most amusing Audition of the night came from Yoji "Pop" Asano, who was a Michael Jackson impersonator. He said that he had been impersonating MJ since he wasin the womb. Good god, I hope he was kidding. It would freak me out if I saw a 3 week old Fetus doing the moonwalk in a woman's Uterus. Asano performed Miley's Party in the USA. It was awful, from the dancing down to him saying, "Butterflies fry away." When asked by Seacrest if he liked Miley Cyrus, he responded by saying, "Not wreally."


One of the best auditions of the night came form Travis Orlando, who I swear is related somehow to Bruno Mars. He performed two songs, and the judges told him to loosen up a little. He was one of several people to make it to Hollywood.

Tonight, the Judges head to NOLA or a One-Hour Audition Episode at 8 on FOX.

Young Girl's right breast exposed on last night's American Idol Episode

American Idol has been known for it'scontroversy. But none has been involving uncensored nudity.

during last night's Season premiere, we saw an Audition from Boy Scout Chris Cordeiro. The audition was one of the horrible auditions last night. He performed Sinatra's My Way. However, before he performed, it cut to a shot of host Ryan Seacrest speaking with his family. That's when, the young girl's breast was exposed. She quickly covered it up, but that was before it was seen by millions of people.

At the current moment, only blogs have reported on the incident.

White Tree FIne Art are Live to Dance's Final Semi-Final Act; The Vibe advance to the Finals

On the first Live Show for Live to Dance, Ballet Duo White Tree Fine Art claimed the last Spot in the Semi-Finals, while the largest group in the Competition, The Vibe was chosen by the Judges to Advance to the Finals.

The show began with White Tree Fine art being revealed as the final Act toAdvance to the Semi-Finals, then the Competition began as the First Group of Semi-Finals took the Stage.

The Vibe took the stage first and did an Instrumental Mash-Up of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal. The Judges all gave The Vibe high marks, and Three Gold Stars.

Up next, was Hip Hop dancer Jittin' Genius who was also highly praised by the Judges for his unique style of Dance.

Next was Chi-Town finest Breakers, a group of Young Siblings from Chicago. They danced to a Mash-Up of several Jackson 5 songs and Rapper's Delight by Sugarhill Gang. They didn't recieve as much Praise as the First Two. Kimberly Wyatt and Travis Payne both remarked they were not the best and gave them Red Stars. Paula however praised the young Group with a Gold Star.

10-Year-Old Lyrical/Hip-Hop dancer Austen Acevedo was next. He didn't get very positive comments from the judges, who not only said he had some Improving to do, but all gave him Red Stars. What the hell?

Bev & Hap were next. They danced a real Weird dance that has yet to have a Style. I might just call it the Suicide dance, considering Bev & Hap could expire at any moment. They were only given a Gold Star by Paula.

Last up were Latin Prodigies and future Jon & Kate, D'Angelo & Amanda. They were definately the best of the night, and deserved every ounce of Praise they recieved from the Judges.

After all 6 acts performed, the Judges revealed The Vibe moved on. I was a little suprised theychose The Vibe, considering D'Angelo & Amanda were obviously the best Act of the night. I hope america chooses to put them through. I actually wouldn't mind any of the acts to go through. Well, um...on second thought if Bev & Hap move on, I might have to deliver an Oxygen Tank to the Studio for their use.

Thank You

The 22nd Season of Survivor Premieres on February 16, 2011 on CBS

Almost a decade of The Amazing Race, Top Ten grestest Moments of The Amazing Race

During the 17 Seasons of The amazing Race, we have seen several moments that have shocked us, made us very happy, made us sad, and have just pissed us off. Here are the Top 10 moments I have chosen

10. Season 1 Premieres: Now I know people dont asee this as a big Moment, however we wouldnt have the show if it never Premiered. Although the first Season sucked compared to other Seasons, it did have it's fair share of Characters, personalities, fights, and more. One thing I remember was when Five teams were left, and 2 Teams became ahead of the others by almost a day. They were so behind, that trailing teams Nancy & Emily, kevin & Drew, and Joe & Bill were unable to catch up. Joe & Bill are one of only Two teams to never cross the Finish line, the other being David & Jeff from season 4.

9. Linz Family Triumphs: Season 8's Family Edition is regarded as the worst season of TAR by several fans. However, I really liked this season. I loved the rivalry between Weaver Family versus everyone else, and I thought they casted a lot of good teams. Never mind the Annoying Paolo Family, and the Gaghan Family not making it farther, it was an awesome season. The Linz Family, started the race off well, but by the end of the first Leg, they had fallen behind and were in danger of bieng Eliminated. They thankfully made it to the Pit Stop, and not only kept getting better and better, but ended up winning the Race.

8. One Fat bastard and a Rope swing: Kevin & Drew are one of my all-time favorite teams. They are funny, loud, and hilarious. One of the best Kevin & Drew moments occured in Season 1 during the first Detour, which involved swinging from a Bungee cord to recieve a Clue. that's when Drew uttered the line heard round the world, "Swing fat bastard swing."

7. Rob & amber are beaten by charla & Mirna: One of the most shocking Eliminations, I bleieve in The Amazing Race history occured during The Amazing Race All-Stars. Rob & Amber, who had dominated Survivor: All-Stars, raced together in Season 7. They dominated Season 7, only to lose to Uchenna & Joyce. Season 11 seemed to start the same way, where they came in First Place the first 3 legs. During Leg 4, they fell behind, and embarked on one of the greatest foot races to the Pit Stop ever, which resulted in their shocking Elimination

6. Chas proposes to Stephanie: Season 17 was a very exciting Season. It gave us some great Charatcers, awesome Competition, and the most hated Couple, Chad & Stepahnie Waltrip. In the first Episode, Chad revealed that he would ask Stephanie to marry him during the Race. A few legs later, he did just that and proposed to her on one knee. Now, they are married and have a baby on the Way. Congrats I guess.

5. Carol & Brandy get owned by Caitlin Upton: Who said beauty queens didnt have guts? During The Amazing Race 16, Caitlin Upton, famous for her YouTube video where she mumbled like a drunk monkey, tried to redeem herself by competing on The Amazing Race with her boyfriend Brent. during the first leg, Dating Couple Carol & Brandy decided to bad mouth the Beauty Queen. During the race, they had poor attitudes during each task, and were negative in every situation. Their bad attitudes and trash talking caught up with them during Leg 9, when Brent & Caitlin U-Turned the team. This Carol & brandy to bitch and moan about how stupid Caitlin was for U-Turning them, and she could have U-Turned other teams based on they were bigger threats because they had come in first. I feel like they just wanted to pick on Caitlin, and were being sore losers like they were about everything else.

4. No Passport, no Check in: Justin & Zev were fan favorites for Season 15. Zev had Asperger's Syndrome, and he was raicng with his best friend Justin. I personally was a fan of the Team. But during their best leg, they came in first. However, after checking in, they realized their passports were missing, meaning they couldn't check in until they had been located. This led to one of the saddest Eliminations ever in the Series.

3. Melongate: There have been several tasks involving food in Amazing Race's 10-Year history, but during Season 17, it led to a watermelon to the Face. during one of the best tasks in amazing Race history, Home Shopping hosts Brooke & Clair were doing a task involving launching Watermelons into the Air. After a few shots, Claire launched the watermelon, which then slammed her in the face.

2. A Douche and his wife: There has been a fair share of bickering Couples on The Amazing Race, but nothing comes to close to that of the phsycotic relationship on Jonathan & Victoria Fuller from season 6. Jonathan would never stop complaining, berated his wife, and in one of the most shocking confrontations ever, actually hit his wife victoria. This led to tons of TV Talk and even an appearence on Dr. Phil. A couple years later, they again appeared on a Reality Show-themed Episode of Fear Factor. Johnny Fairplay was one of the Contestants competing, and was taunting Victoria during the Challenge. After Victoria was Eliminated in the Challenge, she went up and hit Fairplay. This caused Joe Rogan, tv host and UFC commentator, to say to Victoria, "He [Jonathan] may be able to hit you at home, but you cant do that here." This caused the most likely steroid positive Jonathan to get in Rogan'sw face as if they were going to have a UFC match on National TV. However, the fight just consisted of the two yelling, "hey hey hey," back to each other.

1. Nat & Kat make history: After 17 seasons of waiting for history to be made, it finally happened on December 12, 2010 when Nat Strand & Kat Change become the First all-female team to win The Amazing Race.

So there you have it, my Top 10 best moments in amazing Race history. Be sure to watch when The amazing RacE: Unfinished buisness premieres February 20, 2011 on CBS
