mojostatue2Quick survey: raise your hand if you thought last night's Amazing Race was awesome? Yeah, me too. This season has been serving up solid, chaotic episodes one right after the other, and last night's was no exception. First off -- the airport intrigue was so wonderfully confusing, it almost made up for every Family Edition transgression (well, okay, maybe that's an overstatement). Then there was the rest of the race: when teams weren't getting lost or waltzing by clue boxes, they were spiraling out of control -- suffering minor meltdowns in the face of a simple puzzle Roadblock. We at the TVgasm offices were guessing outcomes right up to the final seconds, and for the most part, we were wrong. The Amazing Race is still the most unpredictable, exciting, and hilarious reality show on TV these days. Kind of a shame that CBS has tucked it away at the "late" hour of 10 PM. Alas.

Tuesday's show opened up in Munich, a city, Phil told us, that was "known for everything from banking to beer." Other things it's known for: being the birthplace of Nazism. Oh, and that whole icky 1972 Olympic hostage crisis thingy. But yeah, mostly banking and beer.

Anyway, first out of the gate was Team Jeric. "Fly to Palamo, Italy," Jeremy said, happily mispronouncing his clue. Palamo, Palermo. Same thing, really. And so to recap, we've moved from Russia to Germany and now were headed to Italy. Or in dictator-ese, that's Stalin, Hitler, and now Mussolini. Might a trip to Cambodia be on the horizon? Maybe Iraq?

Nevertheless, Jeremy and Eric informed us that they'd be keeping to their same basic strategy: not engaging their brains. "We're in a great position because we're not overanalyzing," Eric said. Uh, I'm not sure you're capable of overanalyzing. That being said, I tend to think they've been "in a great position" for probably about ten years or so.

"We're just being idiots like normal," Jeremy said. "Competing, getting chicks, just doing what we normally do, man." Yeah, man. Getting chicks. And exactly how many chicks have there been? Does Johan from the train count?

Well, while Jeric hoped to find naked girls in Italy, the Hippies emerged from the gate with their special strategy du jour: humor! Or, I should say, attempted humor. The guys said that life was about karma, and by using humor, they could get people to help them. This was evidenced by them asking a cabbie for directions and then dancing away like buffoons. That's not humor. That's just dumb. If I were that cabbie, I would have run those guys over.

Leaving next were Lake and Michelle, who were also of the "We can't pronounce 'er' sounds" camp. "Fly to Palamo!" Lake yelled, barely suppressing a KAN-KO-WEE-GO!!! As the hyper couple zipped off to the airport, Lake told us that he was still the leader of the team and that Michelle has only been right a few times with the decision-making. Yeah, that's right, Michelle. Only a baby kan-ko-wee-go for you.

At the airport, Jeremy and Eric showed up at the ticketing counter where they encountered two female workers with bandanas around their necks -- you know, as part of a uniform. The guys bought their tickets, and because curious minds must know, they asked the girls if they had hickeys under their neckwear. Two wild and crazy guys!!!

With nothing left to do, the two goofballs then found some wheelchairs and rolled around in them. I imagine what spurred this on was a conversation like this:

Jeremy: Pretty wheels!

Eric: Shiny too!
