The Amazing Race 3/4: "Bust Me Right In The Head With It"

When Dave initially checked in to the pit stop, he was dry which seemed impossible given how soaked he was “moments” earlier after the broken bottles. I’m curious if they refilmed it after Phil was informed of the two hour penalty or what really happened.

Also with regard to the cameltoe: there was one late bleep that sounded to us like HO-bleep. So we were thinking Honeypot? or Whore___? but the cadence and usage didn’t match any word that came easily to our minds.

I was thinking she was saying “You can see her whole ______!” although I couldn’t figure out what word I was missing.

My guess is Vanessa was obsessing on Rachels “Hoo-Haw” That is what I think was said. I think “Hoo-Haw” has made it past censors on Two and a Half Men before.

But that show is not a kid friendly as TAR.

Maybe Rachel is a guy and Vanessa was saying “Huge Tuck Under”.

What’s the deal with Vanessa obsessing over Rachel’s hoo-hah? The only thing it accomplished was to convince Team Big Brother to abandon the watermelon task. I propose a new rule for The Amazing Race - #69:* Don’t obsess over a competitor’s hoo-hah.*

WHAT IF IT’S A REALLY NICE HOO-HAH? :mad:
I really like Ralph, for reasons I can’t define, and I like Ralph and Vanessa’s relationship. But yeah, count me in with the people who thought Vanessa’s snatch comments were just kinda gross.

Team Kentucky is growing on me some, now that they’ve dropped it back a few notches and have stopped vomiting. They’re competent and they’ve got a joire de vie (I can’t spell French stuff). And they’re not fucking constantly whining about how tough it all is, like the Coal Miner’s angry shrew-bitch from 8 or so seasons back.

The military guy needs to unclench–seriously. He could easily have done that bottle task if he’d just relaxed instead of charging into it.

The Border guys pissed me off: they got help from Major Dad, they helped the “teachers” and then got all whiney that the teachers helped Kentucky? Double Standard, dudes.

The Big Brother team. Look, if she’s mentally ill, she shouldn’t be on this show. It’s exploitation and disgusting. If she isn’t mentally ill…(and yeah, this is assault and not politically correct) someone needs to just slap her across the face every time she bursts into tears until she learns that getting attention from whining and snivelling isn’t ok.

I liked the tasks this time. They were fun to watch, took skill and dexterity, the bottle dancers were super-cool to watch and the tasks were more than “Step forward. Let Lady Gravity do her thing.”

Good leg.

Have we mentioned the fact that last season’s moratorium on jumping onto the mat seems to be over? What was that all about?

IIRC, there was no moratorium. Apparently one racer decided that it was a rule (he/she misheard something, I guess) and told all the others. Phil apparently tweeted that he had no idea why they weren’t jumping on the mat either.

@Red_Barchetta

Yes, but how often has that been made explicitly clear in the instructions, as in this episode? (And maybe Rob & Amber’s?) A 2-hour penalty written into the rules is vastly different from a 24-hour penalty that basically guarantees a loss.

This was explained a while back, and I may have it backwards.

There is, unless noted, a 4(?) hour penalty for not finishing a roadblock, and a 24 hour penalty for not doing the detour. So far, IIRC, only Momily and one other team have incurred that.

I think the penalty for the bottles should have been that if you went through all of your bottles would you start in on any left over from anybody who’d already done it. And if you ran through those you’d have to wait for another team to come along and finish it so you could do their spares. And then if after that you hadn’t done it, you could sit out a 2 hour penalty.

They actually got less of a penalty than I expected. I thought they were going to have to wait two hours and then get another set of bottles to go through.

I wonder which specific word was being used that they were bleeping out. I’m guessing it wasn’t “oh my god you can totally see an outline of her exterior genitalia!” And I wonder if at the mat the producers were all “for the love of god, please stop saying ‘pussy lips’ on camera.”

I’m gonna guess she was saying “vagina.” Cause that’s what all the kids nowadays think exterior female genitalia is called.
