Amazing Race 10 Update!!
Marked For Death
They're off... and you just know if that crock thing had been a road block... ol’lazy-Peter would have had the cyborg wrestling it. Personally, half the reason I’m still watching is the vain hope that I will evenually see the Cyborg standing over Peter, holding some sharp object to his throat saying "resistance is futile!".
Good Afternoon Race Fans...
(aka "The show, in as few words as possible!")
Kicking off in Vietnam, it’s time to blow this part of Asia and get to India.
~ cabs, trains and planes... tickets from the agents and a bunch up at the airport,
~ off to Chennai, India
~ Team Asia screws with Peters head using a fake cell phone. So, in turn, Peter takes the initiative to copy... except with a real phone... and scams earlier tickets. Then Allanis Morriset jumped out of a box and started screaming "oh sure... he gets to be ironic... I’m telling you I thought it was irony... leave me alone." And then ran away crying.
~ Peter continues to be... outstandingly annoying.
~ Indian cabbies... brain dead.
~ Detour to walk around with some idian guys for a few minutes while they truss up a crockadile ... or spend sixteen years painting a giant mossaic thing. Of course, Kentucky goes for the paint job.
~ Sarah (Cyborg) and Peter fight some more...
~ Roadblock... earn an Idian Drivers license (which are apparently, nomally distributed through gum ball machines)
~ get to the matt to say hey to Captain Giant Hands.
~ Kentucky is totally screwed by the painting thing... but it’s Non-Elimination night ... and TWIST-O-FUN-O Phil tells ‘em they don’t have to give up their cash and clothes (phew on the clothing thing) but rather they are "marked for elimination" and have to come in FIRST next round of suffer a half hour penulty ... and – theoretically – "last" next time means homeward bound.
The Good
The cyborg not responding to the "hug me" gesture from Peter-The-Asswipe at the Mat when they come in first and get his and her prizes...
The Bad
Listening to the ex-drug addicts blab on about "life back when we were hooked". Just say’en...
The Ugly
Peter. Hate the Peter... as, likely, does America. Poor twit... I hope he gets evil mail for the next couple of years... When he falls hook line and sinker for Asia dude and his fake cell phone on the train to the Hanoi Airport... I was thinking "Yes!"... then he turns it into a win by actually using a phone to prearrange some travel agent time at a nearby hotel ("nearby" hotel to the airport). GRRRRRR!
The Exceptionally Pathetic
To quote Kimberly... "I want to be with the rich folk."
She’s had quite enough of these poor folk... clearly.
The Losers
Yeah... so Kentucky gets last place... but Mr. Big doesn’t chuck them. It’s non-elimination night ... and with the new twist of not having to lose your cash and clothes... but being "marked for elemination" meaning, you have to come in first on the next leg or face a 30 minute penulty. Seems novel... we’ll see.
The Winners...
Dick Head and the Cyborg win tonight... but the big money is going to the ex-drug atticts.
