drewbearPreviously: There were international flights, Team Queen continues to obsess, to their detriment. Kelly needs to dial back the bitchy. Rob doesn't act well when he's stressed. Gretchen suffers Killer Fatigue (and lingering effects from her head wound). Phil fakes-out the Pitstop.
TEEMING HORDES OF HUMANITY!!!!
"Teams must now make their way across the street ... and wait for your next clue." ........That has to be the easiest task ever. EVER!
The Erstwhile Chords of Impending Doom do not bode well for Team Grey's chances to survive this Superleg.
"I think these guys ahead of us are gay." HAH! Honestly, I doubt it, but the Amazing Editors do a great job, as usual.
::sigh:: We see mega-bunching return. I don't know exactly when Rob/Amber first made it to the train, but there must've been at least a few hours of wait.
::snerk:: Waking up the Racers to give them their clues is somewhat cruel, but kinda funny to see them all muzzy. At least the 24-hour train ride gave everyone a chance to decompress somewhat. Joyce playing dress-up on Uchenna was hilarious too!
And now they have to make their way 1 mile to Sardar Market and climb a clock tower. Yeah... the thing ain't gonna be open 'til the morning, people, you may as well walk and save the cabfare.
Yup.
Cool! Indian wedding parade! Firecrackers! Men dancing with men! Some kind of float-looking thing! Team Queen having a good time not invloving obsessing over Rob/Amber!
As much as I find Rob/Amber constantly having people helping them annoying, I'm okay with this one, because Rob sought it out instead of having it come to them.
Fast Forward! Wait, didn't they have this head-shaving thing a couple of seasons ago? But no one could bring themselves to do it.
Lugging a 600-pound elephant statue or doing tie-dye. Either option is viable for me. Elephant statues are cool, but so is tie-dying!
Man, those statues are pretty. I have no idea why Team Grey chose this option, though. Besides, it looks like they're doing it wrong. Also? There's no steering mechanism.
Oh, Team Queen! Don't second-guess yourself! Now Uchenna/Joyce are the only ones going for the FF, so of course they'll get it.
Okay, I see why people find Gretchen's voice annoying. She gets very strident and screechy when she's upset.
Good lord, Gretchen! You know that you don't have to ride the elephant, so WHY ARE YOU STILL IN IT?!
Is it just me, or was Rob actually dragging kids off the sidelines to help him push that elephant? And that "it's hard to organize Indian labor" comment didn't come off nearly as cute as he wanted it.
And the TEEMING HORDES OF HUMANITY are just as much of an obstacle as they have been in previous Races.
I gotta say, those little taxi/jitney/rickshaw things are cute.
Yeah, Gretchen's got the Killer Fatigue but bad.
Camel racing? That looks like fun. From the sidelines, of course. I know enough about camels to know that they're evil-minded creatures who would love nothing more than to spit directly into your eye given the chance. Plus they're funny-lookin'.
::snerk:: Lynn looked like a gopher or meerkat when he poked his head out of the cab like that.
...Why does the cameraman have a camera mounted under the camel-cart? I can't imagine that that would be a particularly impressive angle aside from the camel knees.
Man, that temple is beautiful.
I feel sorry for Joyce. She obviously doesn't want to lose her hair, but she knows that if they don't complete the FF, they're seriously fucked. It looks like she's about to cry.
...And there it goes. She's so distraught that it's painful to watch. The only thing that makes this scene bearable is the obvious love that Uchenna has for her shining through as he tries to comfort her. There better be one hell of a first-place prize when they win this leg.
And to support my "Camels hate people" theory, Meredith's camel just sits down in the middle of the task and has to be thwacked a few times to get back up.
At least Joyce has a good-looking head. She does look good, just in a different way than before. Kinda like that model, whassername? Iman? The one that married David Bowie?
Kelly: "That hurt my bottom so bad but it's so much fun!" Yeah, Kelly's into spanking. Or at least she is now. ;-p
Does anyone else get the feeling that Gretchen is one of those people that pushes you as far as you can take just so she can see what her limits are with you? It could just be the stressors of the Race, though.
Man, Lynn looks exhausted.
Wow. Team Queen went to a completely wrong palace/compound. You think they would've been tipped off by the fact that there're at least 2 teams ahead of them and they don't see anyone else there.
As Miss Alli said, you'd think that Teams would start asking potential drivers about how much gas they have.
Good. I would've been pissed if Joyce had gone through that and they hadn't come in first. But wait, no prize? Dammit.
I'm glad that TPTB have disallowed ties at the Mat. While it's not as critical for non-first or non-last Teams, it was still annoying.
WOW! Team Grey came in fourth! I was not expecting that. They really are proving themselves as an amazingly strong pair.
Aww! I didn't know whether this was going to be a non-elim or not, but I'm still kinda sad to see Team Queen gone. When they weren't Romber-hating, they were really great to watch.
Next week: Rob gets even more cocky. Kelly gets even more bitchy. I have no idea how either is physically possible, but they manage it.

Date: 2005-04-20 01:06 pm (UTC)As for Rob's cockiness, I really think the Amazing editors keep showing his more snide remarks because they're going to bite him in the ass later on. And to be honest, even if they did win, I still can't bring myself not to think they deserve the money. They're good Racers, they're good to each other, they're entertaining (well, me, at least), and while they're not nice to the other teams, most of the other teams haven't been very nice to them, either.
I'll miss Lynn and Alex. Or at least Alex.
I'm just awed by both Uchenna and Joyce (they have a perfect marriage, whether they realize it or not) and Meredith and Gretchen (her voice may be grating, and they may by suffering from KF, and they don't have their original backpacks, but damn it if they're not hanging in there). And I'm still thinking her voice only makes her sound whinier, and Killer Fatigue's not helping. I think without both of those factors, she wouldn't be getting nearly so much flack.
