Amazing Race 12/30/07 - "Honestly, They Have Witch Powers or Something!"

Last week: Kynt and Vyxsin still couldn’t spell their names like normal people and ended up falling behind, only to be saved by the NEL and the introduction of the mysterious and powerful Speed Bump, whose mystery is exceded only by its power!

This week: there’s skullduggery afoot at the airport and the mystery of the Speed Bump is revealed. Let’s watch!

Looks like football has delayed things by about 40 minutes. Reset your DVRs accordingly.

(And when are DVRs going to get smart enough to do this automatically?)

Even I, with my love of delays so that I can get the kids to bed, find this excessive. I’m yawning already, and there’s about 25 minutes until the first team departs.

These football delays suck, don’t they know by now that a game lasts longer then three hours? I think we’ve had one this season that’s been on time. Hell they wanted to delay it so much that they finished one game and showed the overtime of another!

Of course. They make more money on ad time for football than they do TAR.

I wish Kynt and Vyxsin would stop making me like them so much. They’re doing everything so right this leg so far, including doing hilarious “performance art” at the airport and being just the right level of cutesie-goth that I fear for them since I never like a winning team and the teams I like never win.

Oh, and I want Nathan and Jen to get U-Turned because it will be fun watching their eyeballs explode right out of their heads and fly around Mumbai.

“Do give it to the elephant?” !?!

My god, what an idiot. Do elephants get married in India now?

U-turn Don and Nick? That was stupid. Incredibly stupid.

So was getting the wrong receipts. Dumb dumb dumb.

NOOooOOooOOOO!!!

DAMMIT!

I am truly pissed. Kynt, you’re a Jyrk.

Unfortunately, it seems witch powers are not stronger than bitch powers…

One strategic mistake, one tactical mistake, and they are GONE.

The good news is, they’ve demonstrated that the Speed Bump is recoverable. I think it’s more balanced than the “first or worst” 30 minute penalty was.

Poor strategizing.

Delay the team you KNOW is close to you, not someone you HOPE is behind you.

Dammit, I got to like Team Hot Topic, and I’m going to miss Vyxsin’s superstructure…

(From the Preview-- are Shaggy and his girlfriend going to get lost again? They have shown sketchy navigational skills in the past.)

Forgot to add: Once again, when the editors show footage to suggest a photo or come-from-behind finish, it ain’t gonna happen like that.

Aw, fuck. I’m now convinced Nate and Jen will win.

Don’t. Even. Think it.

Do. Not. WANT!

I loved Pyscho Dad’s awesome strategy of yelling at the judge who will determining their fate at the poster roadblock. I thought Christina was going to slug him.

And why’d he start the poster so HIGH?! That was their biggest problem, I think.

Napoleonic complex?

:smiley:

I’m going to miss the goths. They were a breath of fresh air.

I hate to say it, but she would’ve been well justified in doing so. It would improve her team to no end.

Hey, here’s an idea - Nate should dump Jen and hook up with Christina!
