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 →

Week Five! The Racers are apparently headed for some place called Baku, Azerbaijan. Where exactly IS this place? I guess I was about as surprised that it was in Russia as if they had said the teams were headed for the moon. I think I had an okay grasp of geography right before Russia broke off into all of these various countries. I mean, I literally had NEVER heard of this country before. Pretty sad. What was totally annoying about the teams going there was that they seemed to want to keep mentioning the country name, as if this made them seem like they knew exactly where it was. “We’re headed for Azerbaijan. Baku. A city in Azerbaijan.” We’re not fooled. You had no clue either. Of course, our Southerners weren’t putting on any airs. Mark said they were headed for “Ashabayjay” and that he thought that was in Africa. Gotta love those two.

So, what’s new, Art and JJ are off first again. Joey Fitness and Danny leave second and have a conversation … Continue reading →
