Ninth leg of the Race already! Hard to believe we’re two months into the show already. We are getting close enough to the end to start contemplating who is in best shape to win this thing. I’m definitely thinking that it’s between Rachel and Dave and Art and JJ at this point. You never know with this show though. Especially after seeing JJ’s dancing skills on this episode. Another challenge like that may bring him down.
The teams are headed to India. Rachel and Dave seem to realize that they are officially in trouble with JJ and Art. And they are. Art and JJ are really pissed off. These two seem to be the type to hold a grudge. Rachel and Dave are definitely on their radar as targets. I guess that it’s getting near the end so the whole “Let’s help each other” friendships are pretty much out the window either way. Still, it’s definitely not good to become a target near the end with another U-turn in the future.
Anyway, it is evident that Art and JJ aren’t going to just let it go when they reach the travel agent’s office. They are pointedly ignoring Rachel and Dave and acting hostile. Rachel and Dave didn’t exactly seek Art and JJ out either, but it was clear that the hostility was directed from Art and JJ. Rachel and Dave seemed to just be bracing themselves for the fallout. Bopper and Mark commented that Art and JJ were acting like babies. To me, I don’t blame them for being pissed. Rachel and Dave basically betrayed them and put them in a spot where they are now targets for using the U-turn. What exactly do they expect?
The teams land in India and have to catch a bus to a place called Thevara. Wow, India seems like the worst place to drive a car ever. I’ve never heard so much horn honking. And it’s not just like a short honk here and there. These people lay on their horns like someone just freaking sideswiped their car or something. It’s like a constant noise. I’m sure the people are used to it, but it’s really annoying to me.
Those Kentucky boys have really grown on me! They are two of the most positive people I have ever seen on this show. Their children should be proud of how they have presented themselves to the world!
