The Amazing Race 12

Today I'm going to talk about my favourite TV show. Yeah, you're right, it is The Amazing Race. I came across this show about 6 months ago, while season 11 was airing in the USA. Never heard of it before, as they don't play it here where I live. I have watched 10 full seasons since then and now I'm watching simultaneously seasons 9 and 12 (season 12 because it is now been aired and season 9 because I'm so mad about the show that I can't wait the whole week for another episode of season 12). But today's matter is season 12. Let me talk about the teams that haven't been philiminated yet (and by the way, I haven't read any spoiler so, every assumption is made by me):

Team Ghost (aka TK and Rachel): OK, I just to like them quite a lot when the show started but man, I find them so boring now. I mean, every week when the episode finishes I wonder myself where these two have been. They don't get enough screen time I think. They are nice, yeah, and I love that, but The Clowns(season 4) were also lovely and I didn't get bored with them. My guess is...they'll make it to the final 3 buuutt, as always happens, the most unlikeable team(Team I-Shout-You-Shout) will win. For TK and Rachel...I guess 2nd place.

Team I-Shout-You-Shout (aka Nate and Jen): I don't like teams that yell at each other. And they do. A lot. But, since those teams usually end up doing a good job, as I have said before I expect them to be the winners (Please Lord, don't let this happen again). One good thing about them is that they are pretty good at tasks, and also quite good navigators. But still, please Phil, philiminate them. For Nate and Jen...I guess 1st place

Team Who's-Your-Daugther (aka Christina and Ronald): Before the show started I thought would be the first team out. Even if I don't like them either they are not so bad players. However, every time Ron says he's good at something (dancing, balancing...) they end up almost screwing the task up. And he's sooo irritating. Not final 3 for this team. Place 4, I guess.

Team You-Do-It-Grandpa (aka Nick and Donald): Well, first of all, don't know who is who, so let me call them Grandpa and Pilot. Even if I didn't like them at the beginning, they are now my faves. Well, at least Grandpa is. Because he does all the hard tasks while Pilot keeps complaining about everything. This man is awesome, he even got a tattoo. Well, many people have tattoos, yeah, but I know that my daddy wouldn't do that... Please, win, win and win. However, I don't think they will, so, let's say 3rd place for these.

Team Oh-My-Gosh (aka Kynt and Vyxsin): Ujummm, I like them too, but they were almost philiminated last week, and this week they'll have to cope with the Speed Bump, which seems not very funny (for them). I've got a feeling that they'll say bye-bye this Sunday. :(. So. place #5 for them.

Well, for those who don't want to read everything, this is a resume of what I've said above:
I think that the winning order will be: 1.Nate & Jen, 2.Rachel & TK, 3.Nick & Don, 4. Chris & Ron, 5.Kynt & Vyxsin. HOWEVER, I would like to have: 1.Nick & Don, 2.Kynt & Vyxsin, 3. Rachel & TK, 4. Chris & Ron, 5. Nate & Jen.

That's all for today, be good, and travel safe

The very first post

Hi everyone! or should i say, hi no-one? I really don't care, because I've created this blog just because I need to write some English. You know, I love languages. If I could, I would learn 3 or 4 languages at the same time. Currently I can speak Spanish and Basque perfectly, I can make myself understood in English and French (or at least I think so) and I also know some German and I'm starting with Chinese. I hope to be fluent in these two last languages by, let's say, year 2011, and then I think that I'd like to try Irish. But today's matter has to do with English. I began to learn English at school when I was a child. I also took some private lessons for several years but since I began to work, I don't have much time. I can understand almost everything because I read a lot in English and I watch tons of videos (Specially The Amazing Race, I'm such a big fan!!, but I'll talk about this another day). However, I don't produce. I mean, none of my friends is fluent in English, neither is my family. I would like to write in forums (in Tarflies, for instance) but it is really hard for me to express what I want to say, so I end writing a simple text with hundreds of mistakes and I feel quite embarrased because they may think I'm kinda stupid. So today, while I was having a shower I decided to create this blog. Because I wanna write, write and write. And I wanna be fluent in English. Of course, every feedback will be welcomed. That's all for today. Be good, and travel safe.
