Loved loved loved Jet’s (or was it Cord’s?) comments across the wall at LucasFilm.
Jump to the left!
Jump to the right!
Spin in place!
Dance!
Do a ballet move!
Sashay!
I want to see four 90-degree turns!
and so on…
And considering the little airport line business, if I was Cord (or Jet?) I would have just kept walking forward. If I walked into Dan (Jordan?), so be it. He was in my way.
And Carol- way to show your ass to millions on TV. Result- the world thinks you’re a bitch. They might also think Caite’s somewhat ignorant, but she was born that way. You’re just a hateful, spiteful bitch. Congratulations- hope you feel better about yourself now.
The thing about Dan and Jordan is that one of them (and I can never remember which one) is a Race ADDICT. He knows all the little tricks (no needle in a haystack, for example) and while sometimes they got lucky (champagne fountain FTW), when push comes to shove in the last leg, it’s good to have someone who knows exactly what’s coming up and has prepared for it. They knew to beg for a first-class upgrade, they knew to take notes for the memory challenge, and they got a million bucks for me.
They kinda grew on me throughout the Race. They both had kinda whiny voices, but they weren’t necessarily whiners–and when one supported the other during the pasta-making freakout, I knew they had the potential to make it.
I wish the Cowboys could have won, but this was the 2nd best result.
A friend who’d done something similar (he was in a vr game) said that you can start at any point in the room–it was probably just bad/dumb luck that they intersected. If the cowboy had started a couple of feet to one side or the other, it’d have been fine.
This is supported by the fact that there no obvious starting points marked on the floor.
Agree – the dynamics between the two of them, throughout, were helpful and supportive. Can’t remember offhand any incident of one of them turning on the other. (I did miss an episode or two though so I’m not saying it didn’t happen.) That alone makes them worthy of the final three.
Bummed for the cowboys, who were delightful (bring 'em back for an all-star season!), but de-fucking-lighted it wasn’t the Brent and Caite.
Like others, I am a little disappointed the Cowboys didn’t win, but glad it wasn’t Caite and Brent.
Last night, she showed exactly how unbelievably spoiled, conceited and homophobic she was all in an hour. She sat in the back of a cab alternately throwing a temper tantrum and sulking like the little princess she thinks she is, lashing out not only at her taxi driver (couldn’t they have just changed cabs at any time?) but her partner (who obviously isn’t the brightest guy in the world) as well.
Did she make herself look any better than her Youtube clip? No. If anything, she’s reinforced her reputation as an idiot with the way she acted on last night’s show.
Regarding the “drama at Candlestick”:
all that was really missing was the phrase “So there!” at the end. I was surprised it didn’t appear because I could fully imagine it coming.
Yes, it was a classless move for Brandy to try to rehash the previous leg at the end of the game – did anyone catch how Carol looked embarrassed and turned her head away when Brandy’s tirade started? That in itself says a lot.
Oops, I called Brandy “Carol” above. Carol was comparatively OK. Brandy was the one competing with Caite for Biggest Jerkface.
I could see being a little cool at the finish line, applauding enough to be polite, and responding to Caite’s vaguely conciliatory words with acknowledgment but not forgiveness or happiness. But pulling out the whole argument over how stupid Caite was to U-Turn them was just tacky and dumb.
As others have pointed out, the lesbians’ argument boils down to, “Oh boy are you dumb, because we obviously suck at racing!” Not putting yourselves in a good light on any level, ladies!
Dan and Jordan would snipe at each other in minor ways, e.g.: “I said let’s walk fast, not sprint!” and “Well now it bumped my shin which is worse than the calf!” But overall they were good to each other when it counted - especially at the noodle roadblock, when it would have been easy for the waiting team member to go ballistic - “Do it like this! Hurry!” and so on.
Honesty is not always the overarching virtue. If what’s going through your mind is hateful, spiteful and petty…it’s better to keep your friggin’ trap shut.
Her “I want to punch him in the face” “I want to punch you in the face” “I want to punch them in the face”
Who says that? Is it a common phrase in South Carolina that just reads badly everywhere else?
So happy they didn’t win.
This is the latest of final legs that I didn’t like very much. It didn’t seem like there was way to get ahead, other than getting off the airplane first.
Thanks, jayjay! Still mad at Phil for egging them on, but Brandy could have risen above the occasion too. Can’t get much respect going for Caite, though.
I would have liked the cowboys to have won as well, but the brothers ran a good last leg. Though Jet, or whoever, should have just gotten in the guys space during the challenge. I didn’t think it was that well planned if everyone had to be that close.
While I was rooting for Jet & Cord, I’m OK with the Brothers winning. Just as long as Brent & Caite came in last I didn’t care what order the other two ended in. If Caite tried to show the world she was *not *an ignorant spoiled princess, she failed miserably. That said,
I also wished the cowboys had won, they were just a bit more likable to me during the show. I actually think getting into first class on the flight had a huge impact. I’ve been in first class on an international flight before, and I was at the luggage pick-up for easily 30 minutes before any of my traveling companions. Customes can take up a huge amount of time.
I was also surprised at them not figuring out the ‘spin to make the words slow’ aspect of the virtual challenge. Part of me wonders how much time they lost standing there because they couldn’t move into the space needed to get to the next checkpoint in the virtual game. So I think it was a combination of those two things that caused them to lose ground. Which I don’t like…both were things totally outside their control.
Many adjectives spring to mind in trying to describe Catie (spoiled, full of herself, stupid bitch who will never amount to anything except for being physically attractive) but I don’t really get homophobic from her.
She had no problem with the gay brother who won, did she?
Just because she didn’t like the lesbian team (like almost everyone else in the known world) dosen’t de facto make her a homophobe, which is a word that gets tossed around WAY too commonly for my tastes…
Weren’t the cowboys stuck on the spinning words long enough for Caite to begin and then reach the same point in the maze? That’s reason enough to lose right there, especially when they had the brothers’ example right before them.
And Caite managed to finish the whole thing without bumping into Jet, so I don’t think the course enforced paths bumping into each other - maybe the initial direction was randomly selected, and it was just bad luck for Jet & Cord that their first goal was the same spot as the brothers’ final goal.
Oops…I missed that. So, um…nevermind. :smack:
