"The closest thing to a musical instrument we play is a radio."


Many things have happened on the Amazing Race since I last blogged:
  • The detectives u-turned the Asian couple and made them do the hardest task ever. Note to self: brush up on morse code skills before I go on the Race. 
  • Caite and Bret, America's Sweethearts, bickered and yelled at each other while they looked for grapes and tried to build a tower of champagne glasses.
  • The teams flew to Seychelles, which no one could pronounce. Did no one else wear the chunky platform sandals of the same name that were all the rage in 1995-2002? I would have been great at that part. I had a heart attack when Steve and Allie decided to leave their backpacks behind and continue the race with only the clothes on their backs and their fanny packs, and then I had another heart attack when I thought that my cowboys were going to get eliminated. 
This is how we manage to watch tv shows "together" from 1200 miles apart
  • Jet and Cord somehow managed to be the last to start, complete a speed bump, and finish in first. Their prize? A sexy trip for two to Maui. Why do these guys always get the weirdest prizes?
  • The detectives offered Steve and Allie some extra clothes to help them along the rest of the race. The detectives referred to Brent and Caite as their wolf cubs. How lovable are these two goons??
  • Next Stop: Singapore, where the streets sparkle like Disneyland and the street vendors sell ice cream sandwiches on pieces of white bread. Caite proved to be an excellent drummer/dancer, giving them the chance to get to the u-turn first and send Carol and Brandy back for round two. You know what? Good riddance. I've never seen two grown-ups act so ridiculous. Even if the models are "stupid"....they did well enough to beat you. How embarrassing.
