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 … Continue reading →

Getting closer to the end! Rachel and Dave, first again last week, are off first again. The racers are in Tanzania in Africa. Right off the bat, the border patrol guys are rattling on about how they are dying to use that U-turn on Rachel and Brendon. They apparently made a pact with Rachel and Dave (trying not to call her GF but it’s so annoying to be referring to more than one Rachel in one sentence). They’ve agreed to U-turn both Rachel and Brendon and Nary and Jamie. They are clearly looking to put that final nail in Nary and Jamie’s coffin, which have the extra task to deal with already this week. Smart strategy? I don’t really think so, myself. I would think the double U-turn is a great opportunity to try to get rid of one of the stronger teams. Nary and Jamie are not a stronger team. No way. Again, I would think it was preferable to be with weaker teams at the end of this thing, but that’s just me. … Continue reading →

We are back, having had an extra week to prepare ourselves to deal with Rachel from Big Brother and her constant meltdowns again. May as well dive right back in because we all know it’s going to happen this week too.

Dave and Rachel are off first, having finished first last time. I got caught staring at that big forehead again, trying to figure out why it looks so weird. I actually think that she’s got a receding hairline; and paired with that forehead, it looks so large. Not to mention she insists on pulling her hair back, which only exacerbates the problem. Anyway, I’ll move along…I know I’m way too transfixed with Rachel’s head.

So, Art and JJ open the show by declaring that they are the frontrunners. We continue with the ongoing “We’re the best!” theme. What a tremendous shock. What makes no sense though is that they said that they need to get the dead weight to fall out of the Race so that they can win. Uh, I think … Continue reading →
