Recap: After flying from Oman to Australia, some teams drag dead branches across a beach while others deliver crawfish to Zeke from Lost. For the roadblock, racers run back and forth around a prison complex looking for batteries. They think it's so they can go to the Pit Stop but it's really so CBS can pay their World Race Productions bill. Fran and Barry reach the end of the line, despite totally rocking the tandem bike.
Comments: How can my least favorite teams be fronting the pack for one of my most favorite seasons? This is total b.s.! BJ and Tyler spent their time picking up awesome Bedouin hitchikers and kissing Phil, but end up behind MoJo and The Frats.
I still don't know which one is Eric and which one is Jeremy! All I know is that for the last several weeks, I have seen some prime examples of latent homosexuality with nipple rings prancing across my television screen and pissing me off. If someone could tell me which one has the fangs, that might help me remember. Also, wearing a t-shirt that says "Puerto Rico Suave" on national television has to be the most idiotic thing I've ever seen. Putting the IOU in BJ and Tyler's car wasn't funny or clever. It was kitschy. I am not a fan of kitschy.
And could MoJo have LESS personality? Or be more immature? How were they even chosen for this show? Seriously, how do people who say things like, "This is where thinking began" and "We are the kings of not reading the clues right 'n stuff" get through casting? They may be the least interesting team ever to make the race. And don't say it's because they're good looking for television, because they're not even.
Fran and Barry were no Meredith and Gretchen, but they've grown on me over the last few legs, and I was a little choked up to see them go. Fran kicks ass.
Ray and Yolanda are awes, but I am now BJ and Tyler's bitch. Picking up the Bedouin hitchhikers just because makes the list of most excellent race moments. Not only are they in the race to win, they are extracting every iota of adventure and fun from every moment of this race. I hope that whole karma theory is true, because if it is, these guys are going home with a million dollars. Or at least the 300 bucks they fanagled on the flight to Perth.
All my alternate episode titles this week go to Tyler and the Beej.
