This episode really allowed us to see just what these teams are made of physically and mentally. One thing is for sure, the men definitely did come off as the weaker sex!
Was tying knots really that hard? Nathan was cruising along and then all of a sudden he came to a complete halt and needed to be prodded along by his personal she-devil. Luckily Jen (an evil name for sure) had the brains to work through the "knot puzzle" but at the expense of Nathan's manhood. There must be some great sex in[I] them there hills[/I] as her constant derogatory attitude is quite a price to pay.
Speaking of non stop mouthing off, what is up with Ronald? [I][B]OMG! SHUT UP! [/B][/I] I feel so bad for Christina!
Although, there is more to this then meets the eye and I really have to think about it from the perspective of him being a male business executive with a Chinese cultural background. Double whammy for a daughter who seeks compassion. When he talks about being older and it being hard to change I think what he is speaking of his upbringing and a heritage based on perfection as well as one in which woman can not succeed even if they do succeed.
I do want to see where this story ends up, although at best they only have two, maybe three weeks left.
The goths held steady and I think I can put up with their make up, as what is underneath is all that counts - [B][I]right?[/I][/B] I will not lie though, I really wish clown boy would have fallen face first in that ditch. Now that would have been funny!
Best splash down award for the week goes to the blondes (I can't tell them apart yet so I'll just refer to one of them as the plural.) Nothing more entertaining then a prissy blonde chick going "splash" into a mud hole and getting dark brown grit clumped throughout her hair! Gramps gets a close second in this award category, although I really didn't need to see all of that!
The lesbian ministers were the last to arrive and I was somewhat indifferent. They did not provide enough of a spark for me to really care, although they seemed nice enough. This does however bring up one request by me to CBS for the casting of the next Amazing Race : Pick two really hot lesbian women so that when they make out I don't almost pass out - [I]and maybe I'll get a little happiness out of it as a bonus!
