I don't know if you've heard of this yet, but you should most definitely check out kintarowalksjapan.com, which is Tyler the hippie's documentary about the time he walked teh length of Japan in search of the town where his father was born. It's fun, it's a bit mushy, I think you'll like it.
BJ reminds me of Peter Jackson, only, you know, cuter and younger and slightly spastic. They did make some dumb moves during the race, but they're so darn adoreable.
Everybody makes dumb moves during the Amazing Race. What's different about the hippies is that they really, truly enjoy the race for the travelling aspect and are always supportive of each other. Almost every team is either militant-style efficient or fights among themselves in every single season.
Kintaro Walks Japan was made before the race, actually. I agree that the fact that they let (almost) everythign just slide of their backs was the main reason I wanted them to win. I can't stand the couples who start bickering and then the wife becomes the husband's emotional punching bag and he's completely vile and berates her in front of the world and then at the end he's all "i love my wife and there's no one i would have rather done this with, isn't she wonderful." i hate those guys. i also dislike those women for putting up with that shit. Love those hippies.
I figured. I also clicked the link and got spoiled for Amazing Race :( but it's not your fault.
I am so sick of those couples too, although usually the 'friends' aren't that much better - like I said, militant efficiency. Like the 09ers. And why are almost all the couples like that? Do they have in the contract that they need at least 2 white trash couples every race?
