Hey everyone! I was in not one, but TWO weddings in the last week and a half - so my apologies for the late recaps! I'll say this - it's not easy being a bride's best man. What's a bride's best man you ask?! It's short for, "Bitch". Thanks for your patience and I'll have the recaps caught up in Ken & Tina-like speed!
Last episode we learned that a fallen sports-bra symbolizes the fall of decency, the fall of Christy off a bike and into a wall symbolizes God has a sense of humor and the fall of the Nerds made us all a little sad. We start this week hoping that things will improve but excited that they'll only get worse - lower your expectations folks - it's AMAZING RACE!
Teams ended up in La Paz, Bolivia for a mandatory rest period. And what better way to start off a relaxing rest period?
Than a good ol' bitchfest from our two favorite Bitter Betty's!
That's right - Christy and Kelly go right for Nick & Starr's jugular at the pitstop and tell them "Nah ah! Oh heeeellllll no!" or something like that. They're are BENT that they told Aja & Ty to U-Turn them! You know what I love though? I love that we got ZERO footage of this kerfluffel!!! ZERO!!! WTF?! We get 10 minutes of Mark sucking on an oxygen tank in the last episode - and NONE of this?!
After coming in first at the last pit stop, Ken and Tina are the first to leave and find out that the next destination is Auckland, New Zealand. Tina is ecstatic when she finds out. What's with all the positive energy Tina?! Maybe she's just excited to stop butchering the Spanish language.
Once they're in Auckland, they must find giant knots and untie them for their next clue. Awww - I can't wait for the Blondes to keep crying, "But the rabbit goes through the hole!" for hours.
I've learned this is the portion of the show where we get team updates, so:
* Ken and Tina feel that (because they're winning) there relationship has taken a good turn (until Ken nails all the hot Kiwi girls in Auckland.)
*Dallas thinks his mom is thinking of him as an adult now because he is "smart, good" and yet he doesn't even "know where New Zealand is". It's OK Dallas. Take off your shirt.
*We're reminded that Terrance and Sarah are newly dating (and that Sarah is either deaf, dumb and blind OR needs to have her fucking head examined).
*The blondes are realizing the can do just about anything they put their minds to. Unless it's something that they need brains for. Then they're fucked.
*Aja and Ty are trying to find the thin line of pushing that person but not hurting their feelings. Ask Tina, I'm sure she's good at pushing people just right - especially through walls.
*Andrew is loving that he's getting more power over Dan since he was an asset in the last leg. Actually it's better to say he was less of a mess than Dan was.
*The divorcees reaffirm that they hate Nick and Starr. And so the epic saga continues. This won't end until blood is shed.
At the airport, Sarah busts out some fluent-sounding Spanish and gets to use a stranger's computer. Meanwhile, Dan busts out some English and gets the same thing. He's brilliant. They're also bonding with the blondes because they know they're not a threat - and cute at the same time. Gross. I hope the blondes use them and abuse them.
Meanwhile, a fight starts brewing between Aja and Ty over how to find tickets to the flight.
Aja better watch her ass as Ty has obviously become a cyborg. Either that or he bought the world's worst MP3 player.
Soon Aja gets testy and Ty makes the situation better by calling her "Fidel". Have you ever been with another couple and they kind of start bickering and one says just that one little thing that makes you think "ahhh shit - there's no going back now." That's how I felt when Ty dropped the "Fidel" in there.
Luckily these two are in it to win it and soon make up. Which I'm glad - I like these two.

I couldn't believe how Starr was trying to drive after her accident - wtf?
Overall though, entertaining episode & a funny recap.

Between "The blondes are realizing they can do just about anything they put their minds to. Unless it's something that they need brains for. Then they're fucked," the Lucy & Ethel reference, and Phil's dad, this was worth waiting for LOL
Great recap.
Don't know why all the fear of the screaming tattooed guys. Do the teams really think the producers would allow the natives to (intentionally) harm them?
And maybe Sarah wanted the Maori to kiss Terrence to fulfill his endless need for physical affirmation.

I kept wondering if they washed their feet first. You didn't see anyone wash them, but maybe they just didn't film it. Gross!

"But the rabbit goes through the hole!" for hours.
LMAO
She should seriously make him wear a helmet at all times.
LMAO
I'm guessing it would air on Public Access from your basement.
LMAO
bBitz you don't disappoint!
They did show Nick and Starr asking Ty and Aja to u-turn the divorcees. It happened when the 4 of them were stopped at an intersection on the wood bikes. Is Terrence for real? Did he really need his hair stroked or is he playing us? Too funny thanks for the recap!

Aucklands my home town! haha wtf was up with that dude going the opposite way of the ferry... The amazing race should be renamed "generic travelling which is completely straight forward if you're not retarded or drunk", I guess thats not quite so catchy tho!
And im pretty sure we have more than 3 ambulances here in NZ :P Plus what we may lack in ambulances we *apparently* make up for in litres and litres of delicious home-squished kiwifruit juice. A true blue Kiwi summer really isnt complete without a nice cool glass of home-squish! Sweet AS!
Nice recap tho!

After I read:
"...As he's driving he asks Sarah to "just give me some love and touch me - maybe play with my hair". GROSS! Seriously?!!?..."
I thought,
are women so desperate for a man that they'll take any guy that tells them their ass isn't big? I don't understand women. Why would Sarah be with this idiot? She seems like a normal decent woman --- who's attractive in a librarian sort of way. She needs to kick Terence to the curb. I'll help her if she needs help doing it.
It was nice to see Phil's father. Phil's probably a good guy in real life.

Mr. Dangerous:
He probably has a big 'un.
Hey, you know you were all thinking it! lol

A pretty fun episode... and another great recap.
Enjoyed "meeting" Phil's dad at the end.
And, yo! I thought everyone loved Lucy?

Great Recap!
Loved all the comments about the divorcees and Terrance.
It was worth the wait.

Great recap!! Loved this line "Dan let's us know that they're in a "Ken & Tina and Terence & Sarah sandwich" with the cars. Talk about getting the grossest image in your mind! I'm sure whatever else is in that sandwich, there's got to be bad mayo involved." That does put quite the picture in your head. ;-)
And as far as the I Love Lucy reference, I'm only 24 and I knew what she was talking about!

Loved the editing when a team (Terrence and Sarah?) bitched that finding the gnome "was the hardest thing in the world to do" and the camera pans over their shoulder to the tower that Ken and Tina are climbing. Whiny babies!
