New episode, just in time for my birthday (tomorrow) – maybe I’ll get my wish and Phil will look into the camera and blow me a kiss! Barring that, maybe the Hippies and the Frat Rats will be eliminated tonight. In any event …
Which sounds like a fun birthday, except there is no mention of cake. Maybe they get that at the Pit Stop? What the hell kind of a rockle’s birthday would it be without cake? Chocolate with whipped cream icing, or even better: Dairy Queen ice cream cake, with the fudgy-and-crunchy center!
And I wanted to include these juicy little tidbits from Wee Carissa Gaghan’s column over on TARFlies, in reference to last week’s episode …
My God, I love that girl. She is going to be AWESOME when she’s a teenager. I wish I were throwing myself a birthday party, because I would totally invite her over.
I read on my digital cable guide about Mama Tiger’s spoiler, but it just said 'one team… ’ does it. No mention of names, and I was thinking it was another team. Quite surprised to read it was that team.
Coming down to the wire now. Every little thing counts.
I’m curious as to the circumstances surrounding the Title Quote - who says it and when?
I’ll guess the team mentioned in the spoiler after they do said dirty deed.
And can we get the thread title changed? I had a mild heart attack thinking CBS moved the show again and I missed it.
… !!! … How did I do that? I know when my own frickin’ birthday is! Sheesh.
Oh, and by the way? This is some of the ugliest racing I can remember. Even Colin wasn’t this bad. Even the Weavers weren’t this bad. I’m secretly thrilled, I think, but I’ve also been throwing up a little in my mouth.
Super-duper thanks to SkipMagic, who took care of this for me. If he ever wants to go on the Race with me, he can have all the Baskin Robbins he wants.
Only if we come in last on a NEL – otherwise, it’s all the air-conditioned splendor we can afford (after our $71 for this leg of the Race pays for cab fare and the requisite attraction tickets)! But just in case, I recommend you wear at least two pairs of socks and two pairs of underpants at all times.
Well, I didn’t get exactly what I wanted for my birthday, but I got the next best thing, anyway: the only team I still like came in first. Yay Ray and Yolanda! Keep it up!
Oh, Monica, it was too “fair” for the Hippies to yield you. Not only because it is part of the race, but you know you would’ve yielded them if you got there first. :rolleyes: Heaven forbid a team should use the rules of the race to their advantage (although it didn’t turn out that way).
Yolanda was so cute this episode, flirting with Jeremy, teasing Ray, giggling at the didgeridoo (?sp). Ray seems to have lightened up a bit too. Either they’ve gotten some, had a good night’s sleep, or they are really, really punchy.
Great ending! Ray/Yolanda in first!! Three-way sprint to the mat! Aussie cowboy! Phil in nice fitting pants!
I meant to say earlier that Ray is a fine-lookin’ fella when he smiles. He should do it more often. I hope he and Yolanda end up married after this Race. They are good together.
I think the reward for the first place team should be the opportunity to smack Monica. Girl bugs. “They’re playing head games! They’re devious!” Yeah, but they weren’t complicit in the cab-cancelling, were they, crybaby? Shut up and race.
According to TAR8’s Tammy Gaghan posting elsewhere, canceling cabs should be against the rules. There’s a difference between stealing a cab and actively canceling a reservation. So we’ll see if there’s any penalty for E&J next time. They seem to have been instantly penalized by karma.
And speaking of the Gaghans, Wee Carissa is apparently quite distraught – her heart heart has been broken by her erstwhile favorite team, Eric & Jeremy, with their dirty tricks.
And whatever possessed Tyler to be traveling the world wearing orange corduroy pants while going commando???
It’ll be interesting to see if they let BJ have his shoes. They might tell him to get himself a pair of 99¢ flip-flops with money he begs. Phil can be a cruel, cruel man.
Awesome leg! (And I wasn’t referring to Yolanda, for a change)
My only question is, doesn’t cancelling the other team’s cabs seem like cheating? I don’t know all the rules but it just left a bad taste in my mouth. I realize it was a NEL so everyone would still be in it, but Team Gonad should have received some sort of penalty and been the ones starting the next leg with no money. Of course, they’d just have to ‘service’ a few of the local women and they’d have money in no time. They’re such studs. :rolleyes:
Joseph is a major asshole. Monica is a major whiner. They’re my least favorite at this point.
B.J. seems to be pretty likeable. Tyler is just an annoying wuss. Even B.J. seems to get tired of him after a while.
I actually like The Gonads. They’re definite poseurs but they race well and they race smart. Did I catch one of them calling the other “baby” at one of the clue boxes? And the “I never let him out of the house” comment? Hmmm.
Go RaYo! They really are a good couple/team. I think we saw the worst of them a couple of episodes back, and if bickering for a day and then making up the next day is as bad as they get, they’ll go far.
The previews show MoJo going down in flames, so obviously someone else gets Philiminated next. I think the Hippies will get smoked next round. (Karma anyone?)
