Wasn’t that Uchenna and Joyce that forgot the stick? They had to pull it from the ground but they didn’t and had to go back and pull it out. If it wasn’t them, I’m pretty sure it was the same season.
Found it on the site linked way back up there, at least the task. Season 7 scroll down to leg 7. Remove post, move logs.
I thought I saw it too.
I think she asked Charla if she was alright.
Oh please. Think with the other brain. They were being witchy, period. It’s not the first time nor will it be the last.
lol… I’ll decide which brain I use dammit!
I’m not arguing what they meant. I just pointed out that they didn’t say anything resembling “Do they really think they’re pretty?” They were talking about how they haven’t had a first place finish yet and said:
“We’re going to have to keep up with Too Hot To Handle though. It’s a little hard to keep up with Too Hot To Handle.” (laughter)
You can certainly argue that they were commenting on C&M’s appearance, but it’s not just-plain-obvious-period to me.
I definitely got the words wrong.
But I do think that was the sentiment. That comment feels different to me than the comments about their behavior.
Oh. My. God.
This has to be the most moronic thing I have ever posted on a public board.
Seriously—what was I thinking???
If you don’t see me around for a while, I’m taking some time off to recover from the shame. On the other hand, maybe I should start posting a lot so that this episode slips further back in my “see all posts” index.
In my defense, I’m sick with a cold and the oxygen isn’t getting to my brain. But still.
And the “Team Hornio” nickname comes from TWoP, inspired by Adam’s habit of wearing two little tufts of hair on the front of his head pulled up into little hair horns. Off-topic, I loved Rebecca. I loved how she checked out of the relationship about four episodes in and said flat out in more than one interview that she was pulling girlfriend duty in service of winning the million dollars and nothing else. Sheer unadulterated mercenary beauty.
And the details were that Hayden and Rebecca took the Lockblock. They were the last two teams. The task was to search amongst several thousand locks to find the one that their key would open. The teams faced the additional time pressure of their havign to travel down from the Roadblock task area by sky gondola, which stopped operations after a certain time. With the departure of the last gondola looming, Hayden decided to quit and take the penalty, figuring that Rebecca would also have to quit and that she and Aaron could beat them to the Pit Stop. At (from the editing appeared to be) the last possible moment, Rebecca found her lock so didn’t have to take the penalty.
But Hayden got a marriage proposal out of it, so that’s something I guess.
Here’s something interesting about Rebecca: I kind of hated her, a little bit, when she was on the Race, but now that she’s on Work Out? I kind of love her. Just a little, but still. She is a beautiful girl, if superficial, and her body is killer, oh my lands!
(OK, in retrospect? That comment says more about me than it does about Rebecca. Oh, well.)
Heh. Okay, she’s very entertaining on Work Out (the few I’ve seen, anyway). Like when she was bragging about and showing pictures of her (not-Adam) boyfriend’s gigantic penis…she’s massively inappropriate, but in the proper place, that’s fun to watch.
Stupid CBS scheduling…sigh…they’re really starting to irritate me. I lost about 15 minutes in the middle before I remembered to start recording “Cold Case”.
I was surprised that given how difficult it seemed to get a flight out, the producers didn’t have a reservation made for the teams that would keep them all at least generally together. Like they did flying out of South America. That struck me as weird.
I was also sad to see Ian and Terri go…I liked them this season.
And while I didn’t see the comment the BQ’s made, I did an eyeroll in my living room when I saw the “Too Hot to Handle” shirts. Not because I think they’re unattractive, but just because I think anyone that wears something like that is a moron. So that could have been the reaction that the BQ’s had. Let’s face it, it’s way tacky.
Now if they had a “My Ox is Broken!!!” t-shirt from TWOP, then I’d have been impressed.
I’m really getting tired of airport shuffle. Over the 11 seasons of TAR, we’ve probably seen the insides of every airport in the free world. It would have made for a much more exciting episode if the clue had just said, “Get to Dar-es-Salaam any way you can!” Maybe some teams would have waited on standby with the rest opting to take a bus – or even hitch a ride in the back of an open truck! Now that would have been good TV.
That would’ve been excellent – I was thinking that they could’ve gotten there by train, faster than by air. Logistically, it might be difficult for the TAR production team to be flexible enough to accompany the racers on an any-way-you-can leg…but I’m sure they could come up with a creative solution.
Realistically, though, even if this option was available, I bet every racer would gamble on a flight coming through, over committing to a long bus ride.
I agree, the airport shuffle is tiring. There’s always one episode that is nothing but airport drama. It gets old.
I will take 6,456 airport dramas over one ‘eat masses of (insert name of gross food here) until one of you, but preferably all of you, pukes.’ I hate that.
Next week on TAR – Charla chokes on live monkey brains!!
Heh.
Hey! Where’s our ratings?
I know. I’ve been jonesing for the taxi assessment all week.
Maybe zut’s on vacation.
