Pam and Winnie choose the chess task, though they try to do it without the humans for awhile for some reason. The country girls were also pretty clueless with the task. They got so desperate they started asking the human chess pieces if they knew where they should go. In English, no less. That’ll work.
Katie and Max decide to do the “Meal” task. Max also decides he is going to entertain us with some stand-up comedy. Really bad stuff, as expected. While they are collecting the chili peppers he says that Katie’s a “very spicy girl.” (Wow, hilarious!) Then, he asks “paper or plastic” to the grocery clerk. I mean, wow. Just wow. Unfortunately, he’s so busy freaking making jokes that they end up with the wrong amount of peppers. Way to go, Max. You failed at two things at once.
After Winnie and Pam finally finish the chess task, they head to a B-52 plane Memorial from the Vietnam War for the next clue. When they get there, there’s the double U-turn and it’s anonymous. They decide to U-turn Meghan and Joey and could not have giggled more evilly about it. Wow, don’t act like you feel bad or anything. Joey and Meghan get to the U-turn board and decide to sit there and cry about it for awhile as if that’s gonna help or something. They finally make it to the meal task, but they get into trouble pretty quickly. They thought a local at the store was going to help because she provided all of the groceries for them, but they basically end up with 7 out of 8 items wrong.
Winona and Chuck aren’t faring much better. She’s wandering around the streets basically carrying a giant scale of justice of her back. She calls herself a wide load, probably meaning the enormously wide baskets, but those shiny black spandex pants aren’t helping either. Just because you are doing something somewhat athletic does not automatically mean that you are fit for super tight, shiny stretch pants. That should be a rule printed right on a sign above the racks of these pants at the store. They should also have the cashier do a once-over of the person at the check-out to make sure they should be allowed to buy them. (May as well eliminate that rule at Walmart as the out-of-shape cashier will also have them on). We shouldn’t have to suffer watching people wear these things anymore, with cottage cheese-like dimples hanging out for the world to see. If you’re not Heidi Klum, YOU WILL NOT LOOK GOOD IN THIS STYLE. It’s just not that difficult a concept. Anyway, Winona seems to be super pissed at Chuck during this leg for some reason, and lashes out at him that they didn’t realize the baskets should’ve been holding chickens. She sees Meghan and Joey’s baskets with chickens and unloads on Chuck. Honestly, I wasn’t even sure if he knew what chickens were based on the look he gave her. Hey, you never know with these two.
I thought it was crazy that Meghan and Joey ask their taxi driver to take them to the B-52 Memorial and he takes them to some Apartment B-52 or something. They are like, “No…plane crash!” Must’ve been a language barrier or something.
Winona and Chuck get to the U-turn wall and are clueless that Meghan and Joey were also U-turned. They seem to think the board means that Meghan and Joey U-turned Winona and Chuck. Duh. Gotta give you an F in reading comprehension, guys.
Anyway, this show was a snooze-fest. It’s like the makers of the show got bored with the show too or something because they didn’t even bother showing us Meghan and Joey doing the chess task and barely showed Chuck and Winona doing it. They pretty much cut right from the U-turn board right to the pit stop mat. Maybe they figured we’d realize no one was getting eliminated once Dave and Connor bowed out. I hope they step it up next week because this show was BORING!
Pit stop order:
**Dave and Connor – Disqualified
1. Pam and Winnie
2. Max and Katie
3. Beth and Mona
4. Bates and Anthony (Is it me or did they barely show these two this week?)
5. Caroline and Jennifer
6. Joey and Meghan
7. Chuck and Winona (Saved because of Dave and Connor’s disqualification; no mention of an extra task in the next leg either).
Have a great week!

Doesn’t Winona realize she is going to have to do at least some of the individual tasks? I mean really, you couldn’t watch the singing/dancing group and find a poster with those words on it? If you don’t do something, eventually we are going to have to watch you try to pole vault across a river. Winona and Chuck have had waaaay too many lucky breaks – the brainless wonder team went out without using the express pass (which would have easily placed them before W & C), but they are happy they didn’t use it?? Then Dave and Connor DQ and so they are allowed to stay . . . those two are hanging by a thread.
And did anyone else find that song they sang a little creepy? First of all, they are in Hanoi – which just brings up all sorts of bad memories for those that were in Vietnam. But then to be singing happily about socialism and communism . . . . somehow, I thought they could have found a more appropriate task.
Also the teas needed to visit the B-52 site. So celebrating the death of US airmen . I really hated this episode.
