Pat wrote in and said, "The 01:02:03 04/05/06 will happen again in the year 2106." This is true. I guess it should have said, "This won't happen again until we're all dead or being mechanically kept alive so we can watch Survivor Season 209." Pat also says, "OK, back to the Race." That is a fine idea.
Rome wasn't built in a day and apparently there's only one way to get there. I wrote last week that they'd have to do "something drastic" to get all the teams caught up. How does making the leaders wait about 10 hours for a train suit you?
Puddle continued to do what he does best by losing the directions and yelling at his wife. Did he call her a bitch on national TV? I hope his father-in-law is an Amazing Race fan and body builder.
The Frat Boys made an interesting decision to go after the Fast Forward even though they've been dominating the whole way. But their valet magic continues as they break the right plate and cruise.
MoJo and the Oldies also went for the Fast Forward which put them behind and made Mo cry some mo'.
Mrs. Old volunteered for a Roadblock that included hearing the "sound of your own screaming" and she was shocked it was something scary. But give her a lot of credit for completing the monster bungee jump.
The Hippies got lost on the way to the Detour--wait a second, what? That's right, the Hippies made a mistake! I couldn't believe it. That took some of the fun out of their Olympic events but it was still entertaining watching the wrestler in the briefs wail on them in the rain.
At the Pit Stop the Frats were obviously first. The Black team arrived next, but they had to sit through a 15-minute penalty for getting off their train too soon. This let MoJo sneak in for second place. The Olds were fourth again, but shouldn't Hairy have gotten some sort of penalty for trashing his SUV?
That meant last place came down to the Hips and the Puddles, and we knew that Tyler and B.J. had made the same mistake as Ray and Yolanda. I figured the Hippies were done because they screwed up so badly, but no! It was a newly-shaven Puddle. Then I thought they'd be saved since we hadn't had a non-elimination leg net, but no! They get a one-way ticket to marriage counseling.
Mrs. Puddle said she knows their relationship looks bad but she says it works for them and they're doing the best they can. The only clichés she left out were, "He's just showing how much he loves me" and "We're going to take it one game at a time," although I don't think that last one applies.
I still can't believe my Hippie friends screwed up so badly. And from the looks of the preview they struggle again next week. Can they pull things back together or will it be…
Peace out?
