Polanski, Amazing Race


Okay what is with all this support for Roman Polanski?? This a guy who raped a 13 year old and while awaiting sentencing escaped to Europe. I don't care what this guy has done in his career he still should serve time for this despicable act. He should have been deported long ago if anybody had some common sense. He made the mistake of going to Switzerland and was arrested. Now we have some stars like Whoppi Goldberg coming out in support of him. Give me a break. I am sure if it was there kid they wouldn't feel the same way. I hope he is deported quickly and gets what he deserves.

I watched the opening episode of Amazing Race on Sunday. This a show which up until a couple seasons ago I had never watched. I admit I got hooked and now look forward to it. I think its because of the travel aspect seeing which countries they go to.
Anyways this season they have two poker pros competing. Maria Ho and Tiffany Michelle.
The girls after a shaky start seemed to get their act together and managed not to get eliminated in the 2 hour season opener.

I found it curious that the ladies were selected for the show but after Annie Dukes run on the Apprentice I guess the producers couldn't resist the draw of these two ladies. Tiffany of course was very controversial in last years main event of the WSOP when she called a time clock on someone when she wasn't even in the hand. I am wondering if they will portray the ladies as villains in the show. It will be
interesting to see how this plays out. One of the other teams consists of two Harlem Globetrotters who should do well.

  1. Tiffany Michelle also was happy when the only female left was knocked out. The word for that is schadenfreude.

    Maria Ho is a bridge player! Actually, I don't think she's a serious player, but that was listed when describing her.

  2. I didn't know that about Maria. It will be interesting to see how the two of them get along on the show.
