Hello Race! Nice to see you back.....sit down and tell me all about your summer, starting with Episode 1!
A nice mix of teams this time; no married couples, no dating model/actors and no one with a disability who is out to prove that "we can do anything". (Except if you count the diabetic, which I don't.)
I can't believe NO ONE said one Princess Bride or Monty Python reference at all during the castle task....no way could I have helped myself..... "I fart in your general direction","have fun storming the castle!", "Your father was a hamster.....!" Good times.
I was happy to see that they just dumped cold, dirty water on the racers; historical accuracy would have demanded boiling oil and cow shit. I'll bet the cameramen who drive with them are happy too.
Why did Team Gilmore Girls even think to do this? I don't think having met twice before consitutes an "existing relationship". By that measure, I could go on the
Amazing Race with my dental hygenist or the UPS guy at work. I could barely do this race with my husband, who I've known for over 25 years and I'm pretty sure I like. The last thing I want to do with someone I barely know and desperately want to think well of me is drive a stick shift on the wrong side of the road after an adrenaline-fueled sleepless night. For a month.
Speaking of which, that noise her clutch was making? That's the universal cry of distress from a dying clutch to warn all the other clutches within hearing not to drive with that woman.
You know you are in trouble when Phil mocks you at the mat. "That's, that's right, the country of London." Team Tattoo started out by saying you can't judge a book by it's cover, but really, what else do I have to go on. And I'm not by any stretch saying that tattooed people are dumb, far from it, but I can say that people who have never heard of Stonehenge and think a "battlement" is a person while actually touching the flag they are looking for and then walking away, are.
That watermelon to the face was one of the most horrific things I've ever seen on tv. How she did not have a broken, bloody nose and lose a couple of teeth is beyond me. I can't believe she got up at all, let alone finished the task. Can you imagine if that had been Mirna? Or Flo? (Trick Question: Of course you can't, because both of them would have made their partners do it.)
How did Ron and Tony get so far off course?? Didn't they have a compass?
I liked the fall at the Amazing Bathmat by one of the Singing Geeks. He managed to take out the other one at the same time, too.
Next stop: the country of Africa!
Until next week!

The show started late so I ended up watching the rest this AM on line. Good thing they have it available to watch that way or else I wouldn't have been able to laugh at all the boat (turtle tops?) tip overs.
Good bye to Ron and Tony...too bad but someone has to be first.
Funny how the one said "hit it right in the kisser" and that watermelon did just that but to her team mate. It's no wonder she didn't break her neck!
Yipee for another season of missed directions, arguments, seeing places I'll never get to see and reading your often hilarious next day commentary.
I don't understand why the tat couple was not penalized for not climbing the battlement.
B~ As far as I know, they did climb the ladders, but it wasn't shown. Don't know why.
