kayo Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Standard brother team with an Asian twist! My hunch is that this is one smart team and may do well... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SCRebel Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 They got a dude with a Harvard education and are "super-competitve", watch out! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest StarBaby Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 They need to step it up a notch or two -- unimpressive so far, and they were a fraction of a second away from being Phileminated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rook9566 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Philemenated I thought they would do better, but so far they aren't impressing me. And bringing squirt guns into an airport? Umm if that what college education is worth these days, I ought to save money and not send my kids. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tarman12 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Squirt guns in an airpost will probably get them a military tribunal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stoneyGRL Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 They are great guys ... I used to work with them in SF @ the insurance company. Good Luck Guys !!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Methos Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 They didn't do very well the first show. They better tighten up or they will be out quickly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Depeche221 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 not even hitting the radar screen in my book. Found them to be kind of bland? And the squirt gun thing was just plain stupid. I have a feeling they might have gotten in a bit more trouble if the cameras hadn't been there. Dep Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Methos Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I have a feeling they might have gotten in a bit more trouble if the cameras hadn't been there. I thought the same thing last night when I saw what they were doing. A stupid thing to do in airports these days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fizzle Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 i found it odd that they only know english. but of course, stranger things have happened. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dep ITA with you they are boring, and kinda cheesy, wont be sorry when they leave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wincha Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I was hoping more from them since they are obviously very intelligent. Hope they are able to stay in the race and use their brains. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SCRebel Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Strong team. Made up a lot of ground getting to those horses. Went from last to third. Did all the tasks quickly. Much stronger than where they finished, just had a bit of car trouble. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Methos Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 They did much better tonight than last week. Definitely made up some ground. May be interesting to watch as it progresses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Catwishes Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Did anyone get the diss that the Mongolian guy gave to the brother when he bowed to thank him for fixing the car? The Mongolian had a look on his face that said "Dumbass" and the brother was totally taken aback that the Mongolian didn't acknowledge his appreciation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rook9566 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Yeah I saw that cat. This team wont make it to the end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Catwishes Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Too bad, I really like them. When I first saw their pictures, I thought "Wow, they will really have an advantage. They probably know how to speak Chinese. Surprise! I haven't heard these guys utter one word of Chinese. Now, please don't embarrass me by telling me that they are Japanese or Korean.

kayo Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I'm really starting to like this team, despite their committing just about the biggest faux pas in the history of Amazing Race-bringing squirt guns into an airport, however, I'm thinking that they'll be eliminated in the middle somewhere too. I believe that Cho is a Chinese name (or possibly Korean?) but they were born and raised in the U.S., so it doesn't necessarily surprise me that they don't speak any Chinese (if they are indeed Chinese). Maybe their parents never spoke it to them because they wanted them to speak English...who knows... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AFL Fan Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I think they make it pretty far (maybe even win) as I was told they've quit their jobs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol ok I am not embarrassing you, because I dont know if they are Japanese of Korean either, but I do know they are not Chinese, in the first episode when they were going to China, one said "we are going to our homeland, then I belive the other said but we are not Chinese.I know it still doesnt tell us what they are but it does tell us what they are not lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tvrocks17 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 This team needs to pick it up. They look sound good on the CBS website they sound like they could at least make Final 5 but they are barely keeping up. They seem nice and likeable enough that I want them to go further but i dont see that happening as of right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SCRebel Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 They were in third or fourth until their car broke down. That's not their fault. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
