drewbearPreviously: Mean horses, smugness for all, ageism, Patrick craps out
South America to South Africa. Sounds like a theme to me!
And it looks like the bunching created by last week's flights is negated entirely by this week's flight.
I wonder why that one airport clerk wouldn't let some people take their backpacks on?
Ray is absurdly fixated on Meredith/Gretchen. Do you think that he feels threatened that someone that much older than him could be doing as well and occasionally better than him? Masculinity issues, anyone?
Hephalumps!
Hey! Last year the first Fast Forward was during the double-leg. Admittedly, during the second half, but still... I hope that the FF doesn't bypass the entire double-leg. Of course, there's no way that I could do that FF. Unprotected heights are just about my biggest fear. It's not acrophobia, because I can handle heights if there's something between me and the fall, but no barrier = gibbering fetal Drew-ball.
I wonder why Team Queen dismissed the FF out of hand? It's always more interesting when multiple teams try for 'em.
Now, I know that the PTBs are just fucking with our heads, but how much would it suck if Uchenna/Joyce's backpacks actually were lost by the airline?
Okay, so Uchenna/Joyce are the last ones to leave, but it looks like they're also the only ones to get a map. That has the potential to seriously help them out.
That cooling tower is really pretty. I love large-scale murals like that.
Is it wrong that I kinda wish that Ray would tumble off that bridge? I know that he's wearing a harness and line, so he wouldn't actually get hurt, but I want him to get his pride hurt.
Hee! The Zulu guy scared Team Queen.
Okay, so maybe the map isn't as much help as I thought it would be.
It's always hard to tell when the Detour options are so different and so far apart, but I think that Team Queen chose the better option.
Interesting how, now that they're solidly in last, Rob & Amber are starting to lose their sense of superiority. No, wait, that's not interesting; that's entertaining. Actually, Rob's the one who's losing his cool. He abandoned responsibility for their actions onto Amber.
Hey, cool! They're repeating a location! (They did Nelson Mandela a few seasons ago.)
These tribal representatives really enjoy messing with Team Queen, don't they? :-)
AAARGH!! This is why I HATE that the PTBs *ever* cast *any* Reality Retreads! People recognize them and they have an unfair advantage over the teams that DON'T have international fans!
Hmm. Apparently the caves were faster, given that Team Queen got to their detour option first and are now in fourth. I still think that I would've done the tribes.
::sigh:: What is with the prizes this year? Money, trip, nothing, trip, cars.
Given that Tribes is apparently the slower Detour choice and that Rob/Amber were behind anyway, I suspect that they're going to come in last. Of course, I also suspect that this is a non-elim leg, so it's not like it really matters.
Rob/Amber are in 5th? What the hell took Team Queen so long?
I thought that Kelly didn't have any rands? Did she get change from one of the sellers?
Gretchen's about to lose it. I think that someone is borderline claustrophobic, neh?
OH SHIT! I forgot about the "Gretchen getting hurt" preview! I hope that she's okay.
Crap, that's a lot of blood. And she's needs a stitch too. That's gonna set 'em back.
I sometimes find these contrived tasks annoying, but the fact that they;re providing supplies to an orphanage is a really nice thing.
Uh oh, it's the wistful Piano Chords of Foreshadowing.
It's really sad that those kids are orphaned, but at least they're in a good place.
Surfer Bros are your typically goofy big brothers, aren't they? It's kinda cute.
AAAAAAARGH!!!!!!! HAAAAATE!!!
Yeah, Uchenna & Joyce lost a lot of time because of the fiasco with their backpacks at the airport, but Meredith and Gretchen lost more because of the cave injury.
Ah. I'd forgotten about Joyce's fertility difficulties. No wonder the orphanage hit them so massively.
Yup. Non-elim.
WHAT! THE! FUCK! As if the money-loss wasn't stupid enough, this no possessions thing is a fucking deathblow!
Commercial: AAAAH! Earworm! Must! Kill! Coke with Lime!
Kitties! Large, lethal kitties!
Do you think that Ray's headscarf acts like a tinfoil hat, only instead of alien transmissions, it keeps out intelligence and civility?
Ron? Stop comparing everything to downtown Baghdad. It's beyond annoying.
Okay, it's official: I like the Surfer Bros. They're silly and having fun. :-) (Food coma! Hee!)
Lions! Ostriches! Zebras! WHEE!
Oh joy. As if watching people beg for money wasn't fun enough, now we get to see people beg for clothes. How fun [/sarcasm]
o_O Did that guide actually swat a lioness upside the head?
Again, this is why you don't blindly follow other teams, people! Make sure you know what's going on!
Hmm... train-bunching, but it's not manufactured, so... okay.
Rob? Deal with it. Yes, Team Queen is overreacting, but you'd have done the same thing.
Giant. Aardvark. Ooooookaaaaaay...
Okay, I know that spear-throwing is harder than it seems, but have these people never thrown anything in their lives?
The Bushmen are really cheerful, aren't they?
Considering that they were on Survivor, I'm surprised that Rob didn't do better on this task.
I'm willing to forgive Gretchen her bad jokes because she's still recovering from a head injury.
HOLY! SHIT! When the Surfer Bros spin out, they don't do it by half-measures, do they? I hope nobody got hurt.
Crap! It looks like one of Surfer Bros' crew got hurt. That's really worrisome. And you know, as stereotypically queeny Team Queen is, they stopped and offered help. All of the teams at least slowed down and asked about them. Except Rob/Amber. I didn't like them for being Reality Retreads, but this is the first thing I can conclusively point at as being assholish.
Siphoning or pounding. Tossup, I guess, but I'd prolly go for the pounding.
Hey, it looks like there's finally a Pitstop without full hotel amenities.
Okay, so it was their cameraman. And the Surfer Bros offered up a sincere prayer for his safety. They're good people.
Gee, Phil doesn't sound too impressed with Rob/Amber's indifference/callousness, does he?
As much as I want the Surfer Bros to stay in the Race, I suspect that Team Gray aren't going to be able to finish the corn pounding fast enough. Of course, based on that exit-shot, Ray could start crying like a baby, which I would thoroughly enjoy seeing.
Okay, so Surfer Bros are caught up to the Detour and going for Water. Given that Rob/Amber seemed to get through that a lot faster than the others got through Food, it's probably a better choice to catch up.
Yay! Team Gray's still in it! I hope that get their stuff back.
You know, if Ray/Deanna bitched less and worked more, they'd be a lot further ahead.
Legitimate, not fake-out editted race to the Bathmat! C'mon Bros! Do it! Do it!
Next time: MORE car problems. ::GASP:: Ron isn't perfect! Recap in 8 days.
