On the last episode we learned never to trust a gaysian, always wear underwear in Russia and drunken locals + flight attendants = awesome. So get your bottle of vodka and the nearest babushka - it's AMAZING RACE time!!!
Margie and Luke depart first and discover they're all going to India! Jai ho! Once in India they need to find a sacred tree. Wow. Isn't EVERYTHING sacred in India? Good luck finding the right tree. I'm guessing it's the one Ghandi peed on.
But Margie and Luke are NOT happy about India...
Luke gives the sign for "Smelly India". Wow - a whole country summed up to the international sign for "Who farted?"
Victor is THRILLED that they're flying to the "pink city" in India! Holla guuuurrrrl!!!! He said he's glad this race has afforded him the chance to be more "out there". Honey - you're so "out there" I'm surprised you don't shit glitter.
The Cheerleaders head off and immediately start bitching about the cold weather in Russia. Can't wait for them to fall in love with the heat and smell of India.
Mike and Mel are excited to head off to India - as are the Lil' Guys. Oh Lil' Guys. They're not 1 minute into the race and Mark starts off in the wrong direction. They also add that the girls are stiff competition because they're taller. And they don't have webbed feet. They end with "India? Maybe we'll get a dot on our forehead while we're there." YIKES. So far we're 0 for 2 with India and the racers.
Kisha and Jen at the 6th to head out. Kisha tells us that she's glad her and Jen aren't fighting as much. What a delightful set-up to what I'm sure will be a huge blowout.
BTW - At first I thought her brain was bleeding and then I realized there's probably some India head painting something or other. Or it's satan's mark. We shall see.
Meanwhile, everyone at the airport is freaking out about the airline name:
Relax everyone... it means "Delta Ticketing" in Russian.
Christie and Jodi are the last to leave the pitstop. Jodi tells us about her daughter and how much she misses her. Hmmm - no mention of a hubby? I wonder which layover the daughter's named after.
Teams then arrive in Jaipur, India. Christie makes a comment about the car horns all over the city - but I touched up her subtitles a bit (the sound was bad) so it would make more sense:
'Nuf said.
Lil' guys get a cab and Luke & Margie try to sweep in on it but they get their fists of fury going and explain to Margie & Luke that...
It's our cahb! I'll fightcha far it!
Side Note: Notre Dame sucks. GO EAGLES!
Mike and Mel run into their first cabbie problem. The guy runs off to find directions of where they need to go - meanwhile Mike & Mel's luggage is trapped in the trunk and they have to wait for him. I was really hoping Mike would just walk around and yell, "CAN ANYONE HELP ME GET MY JUNK OUT OF THIS GUY'S TRUNK?!!"
The cabbie finally gets back and swears he knows how to get there. Mel then says, "This race is certainly not important enough to dehumanize someone by yelling at them." WHAT?! Where did they find this guy?! First time THAT'S ever been said on a reality show! I'll die if 10 min later the cabbie gets lost and Mel just loses his shit on the guy.
Meanwhile Jodi wants to know why their cabbie doesn't "have a hurry button." THERE WE GO! There's the dehumanizing we're used to! Thanks Jodi!
While Jodi tries to hold her face together the rest of the teams are admiring India on their cab rides. Jaime yells "Look at the monkeys, Cara!" Those are children, Jaime. CHILDREN.
Margie and Luke notice a cow eating trash. Turns out it was Jodi eating a Zone Bar but either way it was very disturbing.
The Lil' Guys refer to the area they're going through as "Slumsville". CBS? Yeah - you're gonna want to pick up line 3 - it's the National Tourism Board of India - they are NOT happy.
Jaime freaks when she realizes there's no Whole Foods OR Mac store anywhere near here. No seriously - she cries because of India's extreme poverty - which apparently is the best time for CBS to remind us "Cold Case" is on next. Oh America.

Nice recap.
I was hoping for a roadblock where they went to a call center and had to handle tech support calls for home computers.
Mel was a real trooper... and still a gentleman.
Mike totally could play Mr. Burns if they ever make a live action Simpsons movie.
Jaime demonstrates where the term "Ugly American" came from.
Still looking like the siblings are the favorites to win. (Lord knows, as lawyers they must need the money.)

Great challenges this week! I would have loved to paint the elephant. (Does that sound like a weird euphemism for something?)

Can't stop laughing about this one: "Look at the monkeys, Cara!" Those are children, Jaime. CHILDREN.
Priceless, bBitz. Priceless.

"Honey, you're so out I'm surprised you don't shit glitter!" HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Good one! Love your screen snaps and captions. This has actually been a pretty good TAR. There hasn't been a *really* despicable team. Everyone's got their meh moments and a spaz out. But, there's no team I really don't want to see win. No one's cleaning up on all the first place pit stop arrivals, either.
Then again, I haven't had a good belly laugh like when Dandrew were trying to march with the Russian soldiers last time 'round. Ah, but we've still got several weeks left.

I want to be more like Mel and less like Victor.

Brilliant. Effin' brilliant. I'd laughed out loud three times halfway down the first page and kept laughing. "Honey - you're so "out there" I'm surprised you don't shit glitter" and "Someone please keep him behind the piano" were two of my favourites. You outdid yourself with this one. Thanks for the laugh!
