But first, I have an apology to make. If you recall, last season I gave one family in particular a really hard time. I thought my good friends the Gags were spoiling their little girl by thanking her for doing seemingly simple tasks like running in a race. But now, having a growing child of my own, I find myself saying things like, "Thank you for not putting oatmeal in your hair," or, "Thank you for not peeing on me." So I'm sorry, Gags. You're doing a fine job with your little girl. I also have to apologize to my sister (yes "Kris in Phx" is related to me which is why I was nice and rude to her). Feel free to laugh at my pee-stained shirt.

On to the Race! It's interesting that the Frat Boys and the Hippies have formed an alliance of sorts. It's like the lion lying down with the lamb, except the lion has jewelry on his chest and pays for his friends

This week's Awkwardly Touching Nerd Moment was when Mr. Nerd referred to his beloved as the "hottie boom-body with the naughty Pilates." Somebody get Hallmark on the phone.

It looked we were going to have our first Girly Girl meltdown but she successfully repelled down that huge building. By the way, I'm not going to be able to tell them apart all season. You can't even say, "The one with the fake blonde hair," or "The one with the big boobs." They're the exact same person with the same ridiculous fashion sense.

How about Hippies getting an advantage by making everyone drive old-school VW Bugs? Are they going to let the Nerds answer Star Trek trivia later to balance it out? And sure enough, our hairy friends took first and won the trip to Tahiti.

The Old Folks continue to make terrible choices. "Let's see, we couldn't do the motorcycle assembly, but we'll be able rope climb up a waterfall for sure." They also broke the first car of the season. At least they didn't walk past any clues this time.

I was very excited when Ocean kept getting lost, but then he and his wife sprinted past the Girlies for the 7th spot. Last place came down to the Olds vs. the Glamazons well after dark, and the sisters' bad stick driving did them in.

Can the Old Folks get back into the Race? Can the Frat Boys make it a day without sexually harassing someone? Find out next week!
