The teams must now fill a truck with a tank of gas by using a hand pump. I wonder if this would cut down on gas costs in the US if we pumped by hand. I'd just love to see asshole's with Hummers standing there for an hour furiously pumping away.
Nick and Starr finish first and must ride in the back of the truck to Siem Reap Harbor - on Cambodia's largest lake. They must then take a boat to a floating restaurant! Oooh!!! Something tells me they won't be eating surf n' turf.
Side note: Nick and Starr ask the guy if he knows where he's going. Good idea. BUT WOULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN MORE IMPORTANT TO ASK, "SHOULD I BE WEARING ONE OF THOSE HELMETS AS WELL?!?!" Nope - they just hope right in. Off to Skullscrackville please!
Other teams arrive to the gas station right behind them. Dallas and Toni finish first while Tina breathes down Ken's neck and the Fat Frats say something like "WAAAAAHHH!!! WHY'S EVERYTHING SO HAAAAARD!!!"
The Fat Frats go to Ken for help and he says "It's just like pullin' the zipper down and lettin' her flow boys!" WOW. If the Fat Frats just go back to their pump and just take a leak on it I'll friggin die laughing.
Meanwhile everyone, including the Divorcees, figure it out just fine. Soon the Fat Frats figure out what they were doing wrong. Turns out they had to pump FAST. Yup. That's it. Sadly for them some of these roadblock's require more energy than a game of Wii.
My favorite quote so far: Nick: I wish we could pull down some trees behind us to slow down the other trucks. Nick - 1, His Soul - 0.
The teams are all racing to the lake in the trucks now. This pretty much seems like one of the most unsafe things I've seen on this show. The trucks are flying by each other while the teams just teeter on the back of them.
Terence and Sarah manage to take the lead since Sarah inexplicably knows the word for "FAST!" in Cambodian. Now she just needs to learn, "Please bury my boyfriend in that forest over there. I give you 2 kisses now. Thank you."
Back at the gas station - Dan reaches levels of annoyance not yet seen by modern times. And Aja and Ty still haven't arrived. They're screwed.
Teams arrive at the lake and hop into the boats. Tina's head splits open as she screams at Ken to make the boat driver go faster. Ken's too busy explaining Tina's cement shoe-size to the guy to hear her. Then Nick and Starr blow by them and yell "BYE MOM AND DAD!" Ken looks like he's going to start cutting himself.
As the Divorcees speed through the Cambodian waterway - they notice the poverty around them. And quickly blow by little kids floating in the water in large saucers:
I hope these are the woks the teams will be eating out of at the restaurant.
Meanwhile, Terence and Sarah lose their lead when their boat BREAKS DOWN! And Terence struggles to paddle the rest of the way - awesome!
"When the moon hits your eye - spend time with me - you'll wanna die - that's amore!"
When the other teams arrive at the restaurant they find a DETOUR! VILLAGE LIFE - Teams use their boats to pick up 3 items. (boring) VILLAGE WORKER - They have to go IN the water to retrieve fish baskets and turn them in. Oh. FUUUUUUCK THAT. I can't wait to see who's brave enough to do that one.
RYAN AND STARR DO IT!? DALLAS AND TONI?! Are these people NUTS?!
As the Divorcees blow by yet another group of children they exclaim:
Meanwhile the kids are saying "I can't believe they let stupid Americans out here. 10 bucks says they break their boat and get malaria."
Once Nick/Starr and Dallas/Toni jump in the water for the fish, they all start freaking out and bitching - EXCEPT MOM!
And this is why Toni wins player of the day! Toni for VP in 2012!
Ken and Tina scramble to do "Village Life". bBitz Trivia Time! How many times did I want Tina crack her head on this beam?!
The answer?! Exponential! I'm still watching and STILL laughing my ass off.
Something must be wrong with me because I actually start to feel bad for Terence and Sarah because their boat still won't work. All I need is Terence to ask Sarah to touch him so I can go back to hating them.

Yay for getting caught up! As always, your recap had me cracking up. I loved the line under the pic of Terrence and the broken boat. ""When the moon hits your eye - spend time with me - you'll wanna die - that's amore!" How true is that?!?! I don't think I'd be able to spend 5 minutes with that guy before I would want to hurt him.
I was sad that Ty and Aja were eliminated last week, and after what happened on this week's episode, even more so. That's usually how it works though. Anyways, I look forward to reading this week's recap soon! :-)

"Soon the Fat Frats figure out what they were doing wrong. Turns out they had to pump FAST."
I would have thought the Fat Frats would have had experience doing that. Guess having to do it with someone else is what threw them...
Great recap, as always :)

Apparently the Fat Frats didn't know that there wasa valve on the pump to let the gas flow... that one of them started furiously pumping at the same time was a coincidence.

Did anyone else notice that Tina kept speaking snippets of Spanish to the locals, even though she was in Cambodia? She did it in India too. Apparently, in Tina's mind, all brown people speak Spanish. What an idiot.

Great recap (I appreciate your brevity, as well).
It was hard not to feel sorry for Terence when they had such bad luck on the boat (although I was sort of hoping the cop would either beat him - more - senseless or lock him up overnight).

Oh yeah I feel sorry for Terrance..uh..never. I like the comment about the divorcees cologne, isn't it Eau d' Desperayshawn? Any pix of Dallas shirtless are worth the time! Totally like Toni & D. Watching Tina and Ken is just sad because you can tell they'll probably never work it out and neither of them are the "babes" they must have considered themselves at one time and REALITY is a bitch when it bites you in the mirror. Tina doesn't have the money to afford a good looking Adonis boy toy that will lie to her, and Ken's had so much life force drained from him by Tina that he'll need the next two decades to recover. Wow I'm bitchy right now. But it's because I wrote out a check for $976.22 in property taxes while reading the recap. I'm goping to have to keep my "realities" separate from now on!

I remember Dallas' chest being bigger. Maybe it's the angle. Regardless, it was nice to see it again.
At least Tina knows when something is her fault. That's good.

This episode annoyed me because there was no way in hell Aja and Ty were going to make it. It bothers me when they make them do tasks even though it's clear they are going to be eliminated.
Anywho, those lovely little taxis are called "tuk-tuks" not "tut-tuts".
