But they ate a sheep’s head together!
Okay, that doesn’t really mean anything dirty, as far as I know, but you have to admit it SOUNDS like a euphemism…
Oh my god, it really does.
Found it, they were definitely just friends, judging from the answers they gave to the last few questions in this interview:
Huh. I could’ve sworn they said (or strongly implied) they were. I guess I’m mistaken.
I think my favorite part of this season is going to be reading all the funny shit you guys come up with.
I wasn’t sad to see the back of Daddy/Daughter there, in part because that flower in her hair looked really stupid and I got the impression that was going to be a daily look for her.
I can’t recall a team that made more obviously stupid errors than Rowan and Martin did. The Nathan Lane one especially. I rewatched the exchange at the bus ticketing window, and there was nothing whatsoever that gave any indication that the later bus arrived at their destination at 4:00. Seems like the kind of thing you want to double check before going off on your little subterfuge.
Also, in his post race interview he says the clue “basically” said find someone giving a shoeshine, whereas the clue apparently said “find a marked shoeshine stand.” While it would have been amusing to watch this idiot stumble around the world, it’s actually a bit surprising that he made it to the second leg. It’s actually a bit surprising that he made it to the right country in the first place.
Ella es El Diablo!
“Pinky and no Brain” was pretty funny too.
It was too bad to see the actors go, but there’s nothing I enjoy more than seeing a Racer grab some random unknowing local and assume he’s part of the task.
Can’t remember which bearded guy is which but fully enjoyed watching one of them smack Phil in the hiney as part of their mat dance. Best moment of the show so far!
I thought for a while there that we were going to have yet another team eliminated with two express passes in their pocket.
I don’t remember Pinky being that obnoxious on the first leg. Boy did she really ramp it up this week!
Loved the shot of the salt mine worker gazing at the two bikini-clad teammates while they hugged.
ER doc Nicole- “help me! - help me! - help me!” Honey, you’re riding a bike on a dirt road. It doesn’t get much easier than that.
I loved when her teammate told her that he agreed with that assessment.
I loved:
Pinky: What are you guys doing?
Afganimal: Taking the 12:30 bus
Pinky: THERE IS NO 12:30 BUS!
Afganimal: Then why you asking?
Looks like the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers might stand a chance after all. Disappointed in the Docs, they’ll be gone midway.
The look on the face of the one who they asked, after rising from the water, “Can I hug you?” said volumes.
“I spend most of my days breaking my back in an honest-to-God salt mine, and today I got to stand here doing nothing but watching bikini-clad Americans work. Then the half-naked blonde asks if I’d be willing to embrace her? Why, yes, I think I’d like that very much!”
I don’t remember that scene! The one teammate asked her partner to hug her for warmth, didn’t she?
I’m also 95% sure that the ogling shots were just amazing editing.
I vote for a “week 2 oglefest” tradition for all seasons going forward.
I want some black trunks like that one guy that looked like he had on red speedos!
One of the baseball wives, I think, was complaining about getting all scratched up by lugging the salt bags around. And I was thinking “Maybe you should have carried the salt bags over to the pool first, THEN put on your bikini!”
So, did we confuse zut by not starting a new thread for this week’s episode? Where’s our Taxi Assessment?
Well, at least the completely useless teams have been eliminated. It’ll be interesting to see how far behind the eighth place team the Baseball Wives were next week. They may completely useless as well.
If I were to be on the Amazing Race, the first thing I’d do is to show my partner the first two episodes of this season. Just about every error of judgement you can make was made in them.
I can’t wrap my head around the Atacama desert. It comes right down to the sea. I also don’t know how a city like Iquique (216,000 people) can even exist when it gets 1 mm of precipitation in an average year.
