Hello everyone. We’re back in Vietnam and apparently the Race pissed off some people. In retrospect, I guess it is a little disrespectful to have these shallow goofs climbing all over a fallen B-52 to get a stupid clue for some stupid reality TV show. Guess they took some heat over that one.

Anyway, the teams get their first clue and they are flying to Botswana. Winnie and Pam are worried that Meghan and Joey are going to hold it against them that they U-turned them. The whole thing was supposedly anonymous but everyone seems to know who U-turned both teams anyway. Pam and Winnie tell Meghan and Joey to take it as a compliment because they think they are good racers, but Meghan and Joey seem to know that there was some kind of pact with multiple teams against them. I totally screwed up last week too because I don’t think I realized that Meghan and Joey HAD U-turned Chuck and Winona. So here I make fun of Chuck like he’s a complete … Continue reading →

We’re back for the 5th leg. Watching the recap from last week, I still can’t believe that John and Jessica managed to get eliminated with that Express Pass still in their pockets. I mean, once Chuck and Winona were heading to the pit stop with one of those last surfboards, you need to make the call to footrace them to the mat ready to use the Express Pass. After that constant obsession John seemed to have over the Express Pass, you’d have thought he would’ve contemplated using the thing when it mattered most. Guess they figured they may need it later or something for a U-turn scenario, and maybe they hoped this was a non-elimination leg, but in hindsight, it just was not a smart move.

Anyway, we’re back where they left us: in Bali. Dave and Connor are first and read the clue that the teams are headed for Hanoi, Vietnam and that there’s a U-turn on this leg. Dave and Connor are in trouble because Dave’s doctor at home says he needs … Continue reading →

Hi again. Was just watching the reel from last week’s show and something came to me. Chuck and Winona were on, and as usual, that banjo music was in the background. Notice how the rednecks seem to be the exception to every racism rule? In case you were worried, this is apparently still A-Okay in America. Seriously, you think they’d be playing rap music every time they showed a couple of 50 cent type racers on there? Somehow, I don’t think so.

Anyway, back to the show. The teams are arriving at the pit stop. They get the bad news that they are still racing and need to head to their next task in Bali. Each team was like “Yay!” but you could tell that not one of them wanted to keep going. That was especially the case for Dave, who’s still hobbling around on crutches. Honestly, kind of sick of hearing about his stupid leg / foot / ACL now. Whatever. Quit crying about it already. I’m actually kind of missing all the … Continue reading →
