And Eric and Jeremy have the luck of the…what? They aren’t exactly evil. The luck of the dimwit? The luck of the closet? The luck of the nipple rings? Help me out here.
I can’t say you didn’t warn me.
Because TAR now coincides with bedtime around here, I foolishly opened that link with my baby on my lap.
Child services should be here any moment.
So wait…Michelle doesn’t mind being called a “bitch” but Lake says “dammit” and she flips? Weird.
Heh heh heh, from the week before:
I strenuously object to the use of the Race as a commercial for “The DaVinci Code!” Contempt, your Honor! Badgering the witness!
That was a near thing! I would’ve hated for BJ and Tyler to go home. But you know, you’d think by now that the teams would realize, if the clue says “go by train” it means “go by train”.
Dagummit.
Yeah, that was seriously the first MAJOR frack-up for the Hippies. Going the wrong direction (for 2 hours, at that) is high up on the “Thou Shalt Not” list for this show.
And, oh my, did I want to do that Herculean detour…stocky hairy wrestleman make me feel funny in my woowoo…
So…when are they going to wedge in all the NELs?
Exotic locales! Cool tasks! Half-nekkid men! Map reading in foreign languages! This show so kicks “Survivor”'s ass!
Next week is an NEL for sure … right?
This was another oddly constructed leg. The Detour piled on top of the Roadblock; is that the first time the two have been that proximate? The Greek to Me task confused me. Were there several sets of the fragments scattered around, and they had to check to make sure they didn’t have duplicates?
Lake is an asshole. Plain and simple. But when Michelle told him off, he shut up real fast. Sayonara.
Frankenberry, learn how to drive. Oh, what was that? That was just your back window being shattered all over the Grecian ground. D’oh!
Last week I was bitching about the last roadblock being a few minutes from the pitstop, this time they did the opposite it seemed–a lot more exciting. Man, I thought L&M were gonna beat that 15 minute hippie penalty.
Best line of the year. Yolanda, looking at MoJo…“I don’t think there’s a lot going on there.” Maybe next year we can team up Monica with that one Pink Lady from last year who cries at the drop of a hat too. That would be a roller coaster ride I would not want to get near.
Good episode, 2 good belly laughs and a greeter with a Greek hat, looked like he had a few tales to tell. “B”.
I’m pretty sure that Lake and Michelle were on the bus with the hippies. They would have had the penalty and lost no matter what, right?
Why am I posting when I should be watching Lost?? 
Yes. And why are you posting? Effing commercials.
At the “It’s all Greek to Me” task, did anyone else think of the Monty Python sketch of Philosopher’s football? All those guys in togas in an arena . . . Please don’t tell me I’m the only one.
When Lake called her a bitch, I just reared back. 'Scuse me? Do you want those to be the last words you ever speak? She should have clubbed him right there. Of course, now we don’t have to listen to that twit. And that one either.
Now the key is how the Hippies are going to claw their way back to the top. They made two big mistakes this ep. I hope they’re not falling apart. Maybe they’ll take it a bit more seriously the next time out.
Good ep. A little heavy on the bunching, but forgivable.
Yes, Lake and Michelle were also on the bus and they would have been assessed the same penalty had they not already been in last place.
And it’s been said before, but I’ll say it again: Do not molest Phil.
It’s on the Official List, don’t you worry.
Now that I’ve seen those pictures, that takes on a whole new meaning. *Why, why, *WHY did I click on that link??! I need a brain scrub.
I’m starting to get the impression that there are no NELs on this race. The fans have been complaining all along that the NEL muggings didn’t act as a deterrant at all, so maybe TPTB gave them up.
I think it was the pointless Rome stop that screwed up this leg’s timing. Too much stuff to show so they had couldn’t show everything. They had no video from that train/ferry ride and nothing from the night they stayed over in Athens.
I don’t like the looks of that preview.
I’m sticking with my theory that they’re operating on a reduced budget this time around. Every time someone gets kicked out, that’s two fewer people they have to fly around the next leg, so financially, it’s to their benefit to postpone the NELs as long as possible. See also that horrible Da Vinci Code ad turd plopped right in the middle.
Agreed. I was watching that and just thinking to myself, “That’s a PRIZE? Booby prize, maybe…”
It was so…Big Brother.
