No surprise that screen caps of The Amazing Race host Phil Koeghan are making the rounds this morning on the Internet.
I think the show has really stepped up the challenges this season, which is saying a lot since it's on the 14th installment! Anyhow, last night one team member had to strip to the underwear and run 1.4 miles... in Siberia!! While I was a bit disappointed that Victor had his sister complete the run, that was all forgotten after Phil provided quite the exclamation point upon finishing his explanation of the road block...
I am sure we weren't the only TiVo/DVR owners to hit the 3-second "did I just see that?"/double-take rewind button. After winning however many Emmys (4 or 5??) for Best Reality Show, I think Phil is definitely wondering what happened to his nomination for Best Reality Show Host in its (quite painful) debut this past year. I think Phil says touche to last year's nominees like Ryan Seacrest, Tom Bergeron, or even the first winner Jeff Probst (though he has dropped trou as well - click the link, then the pic)!
I also have to say (and I am sure I am not alone), that I was surprised how fit Phil is... not that he's gonna get any modeling contracts... but heck, he's my age (41 going on 42)... I would be quite happy to have my abs look like that after gaining the 30 (lbs) at 40.
I did the rewind. Phil is so great this season. Between his signing the race results for Luke (Luke?) and stripping to his skivvies, I am in love.
