drewbearPreviously: weird bikes, the Weavers lost it (understandably this time), Stassi lost it (not sure why), Papa Schroeder just got lost.
We start off with a little New Orleans visual porn. S'cool.
Fly to Panama City? They're leaving the USA? OMG!!
Mama Paolo is crying in that interview because she knows that her son hates her and always will. I actually feel a little sorry for her.
Linz bro number whatever wants to ogle 16 year old girls? Perv.
Christine G.'s a bit of a bitch, isn't she?
The Weavers don't like alliances largely because no one wants to be in one with them, methinks.
At least, of all the teams in recent seasons, Carissa understands that it's about "not coming in last", not "coming in first".
You know, getting 6 tickets on flights is going to be a lot harder than getting 4.
The Amazing Map is back from its long illness! The Amazing Road Atlas has gone into hiding! Yay!
And UglyAmericanSpanish makes its long unwanted return with the "andale"s and "arriba"s and "el speedo"s. Ugh.
Hours of operation bunching right after airport bunching? How odd...
Beautiful vistas, as usual.
Does Mama Weaver call everyone "Driver"? Don't do that!
"Pick up someone"?! WTF?! I thought these boats were chartered!
Pre-commercials no effect, of course, but a scare indeed, Mama Gaghan.
ooh! Multiple hammock men! There's actually a SEARCH (*coughgasstationcough*)!
You know, God doesn't care about your standing in the race, Weavers. Stop pestering him.
Geez, Pink Ladies. Don't snatch-and-grab from the nice hammock man.
So both Detour tasks are scavenger hunts, of different kinds? Interesting... I think that the birds would be faster, though. You don't have to hike all over creation.
Only ONE Fast Forward on the entire Race? ?!?!?!?!?!
The birds turn out to be somewhat challenging. Nice. :)
Oh no. The Paolos are going to beat the Gaghans to the FF. I'm already misting up at the oncoming elimination.
Because bribing will make the motor automagically become faster.
::snerk:: The stupid speedboating just made them miss the dock and kill both their leads.
"Red Devils". Cool buses.
I'm confused. It's the Paolos and the Gaghans to the FF, the Bransens to the birds and everyone else on Rhythm, right?
Yeah, it's much cooler than any of my schoolbuses, too, Billy.
Wow. Mama Paolo's pretty vindictive. Not that DJ doesn't deserve it, but still...
Okay, so it looks like the Gaghans can 'jump from a different rig at the same time at the Paolos, so it won't be a total shutout.
I'm torn between wanting to push DJ off the edge and watching him break and back down.
Dammit! I hate the FFs that they've used recently; they're all designed so that ONLY one team can do it at a time, so there's no way for competing teams who get there (near) simultaneously to actually compete! It's a straight "first come, first served", not a contest.
Okay, so the birds weren't so hard after all.
Wait. The Weavers went for the birds too. I didn't realize that.
So the first-place prize is to come back to Panama? Okaaaaay....
Why did the Amazing Producers go back to the white/yellow color scheme of Season 1 instead of the red/yellow scheme of the other seasons? Something to do with McD's, maybe?
This had better be a non-elim leg. If the Gaghans get kicked, I'm leaving too.
Well, the Gaghans seem to be moving pretty quickly, but you can never tell with editing.
Huh. The baseball is an unintentional little mini-buncher. Maybe there's hope for the Gaghans yet!
The "Elimated Theme fromTitanic TAR" is playing over the Gaghans. :( It's good to see that the parents are still encouraging and supportive of the kids, though.
YES! Papa Gaghan nailed that sucker!
Jesus Christ on a pogo stick! The Gaghans have NO LUCK with vehicles this leg! What happened?
You know, I still have no idea what the first names are of most of these people. That's a bad sign, folks.
And the Gaghans squeek by! YAY!
Did they get rid of the Über-mugging? No. Crap.
Next week: rope bridge OF DOOM!!! Weavers get stuck in the mud. Does this mean that they'll get eliminated like the Aiellos were?
