Planning vacations around races (Read 108 times)


Ball of Fury

    Although it is, I don't consider this a reality show but more of a televised competition.  Something we would love to do one day.  Except we would be like Jonathan and Victoria, for those that remember.  The couple that wouldn't stop fighting.  Except we would be cursing each other in Spanish.

     

    This is I would love to see!!  I also love AR and would love to do it!

      DW and I auditioned for AR twice. Of course it's a long shot, but we are just too ordinary.

       

      lily: is there a specific website you use to find marathons in other countries?

        That is awesome!  How are the auditions, just sending a video?

          Marathonguide.com, in the non-american calendar. I found all of my races there.

            One was making a video and sending it in and the other was going to an audition where they interviewed us and put us on camera. They really are looking for specific types of people (implants, wannabe actors, gays, disabilities, etc.) It was fun, however, but we'll never get picked.

             

            lily: thanks! Smile

              This is exactly why I consider it reality TV. There is nothing real about it... All acting, like the other reality shows.

                I am sure because every time they deviate the show gets boring.  The family one we stopped watching mid season it was so boring.

                  I loved when they went to Puerto Rico and were driving at rush hour and that loser from Survivor

                  exclaimed, man, everybody with a car decided to go out right now, LOL.

                    Lily and Docket: Exactly!! I still like the show because I like traveling and DW likes puzzles and such, but it is very contrived. Also, the last episode to the finish is always boring and predictable.

                      I like the competition aspect of it and most people

                      are just normal

                      except when they make you to look like an ass.

                       

                      I love when they put the circus music when people cannot find an obvious clue.

                          That Survivor loser was the only reason I watched that season. I loved that people in other countries recognized them so helped. That is the only reality show I watch.

                           

                          Speaking of Survivor our club runners who ran Boston were asked to list their positive moments from the race. 1 woman wrote that a former Survivor winner was in her corral and how psyched she was to meet Ethan.

                              I met him and his GF (another winner) at a Disney race. I couldn't believe how much makeup were both wearing during their HM.
