On the last episode we learned that Frat guys really are that stupid, Nick is a lying race-genius but turned in his soul to be one, and Tina couldn't find her way out of Angkor Wot - or a paper bag if she tried. Turn off your brains and turn on your GPS - it's AMAZING RACE time!
Teams are now off to Delhi, India with Nick and Starr leaving first. They must make their way to an auto shop run by this guy...
Who seems both pissed and confused to be a part of this circus.
Nick and Starr say they're happy to be on the race with each other and have never gotten along better. They're so good at deception I hope they're not just deceiving each other until the end when they fight to the death over the million dollars.
Toni and Dallas are close behind Nick and Starr. However, Dallas would like to be a little closer behind Starr in particular. There's a romance blossoming - although it's a little aaaaawkward with Mom and Bro keeping a watchful eye. Although if it'll help them win, Nick will probably rip Starr's clothes off and throw her at Dallas.
Speaking of Dallas...
Dallas' Big Thought-of-the-Day!
The Fat Frats admit their new plan is to "not be so casual". Wow. Now THAT sounds like a plan. I hope phase two of the plans includes "running and not walking" or just "walking faster."
Back at the travel agency, Ken is abruptly booted from doing research when control-freak Tina takes over. Poor guy just stands there looking useless and eating a cookie. Does anyone else think that Tina starts everyday out by grabbing Ken's junk and yelling at him "THIS IS MINE! YOU ARE MINE! SHUT UP AND FOLLOW ME!"?
After the travel agency, all teams are on the same flight to Delhi. Once there, there's a mad dash for the taxis. However the Divorcees have trouble finding the exit:
If these doors said "Pull" it would've made the best photo EVER. Although it might be even better because I don't even think those are doors.
As Nick and Starr take off in a taxi Nick talks about how he told the Divorcees to wear more clothes since it's not appropriate to dress seductively in India. The Divorcees, of course, stay dressed the way they are and get a taxi immediately...
Although I'm guessing the next "detour" they'll be taking is to this guy's basement.
Traveling through Delhi in the taxis, teams begin to learn that it's a much tougher city than anything in Cambodia. For starters - there are cows all over the place. Although I'm sure it's just like another date-night for the Fat Frats.
Ken and Tina get into an argument about where the motor shop is. Ken says that Tina "when it comes to travel, thinks she knows everything 99.9% of the time." Awww Ken - you could've left out that first part and we would have all understood.
Nick and Starr are the first to get to Moonlight Motors and the next clue - a ROADBLOCK! In this roadblock teams must help India's taxi industry go green..."litrally". Yes - that's how Phil says "literally". Oh Phil. I guess this is "Amazing Race"s way of going "green". Painting now-running-on-natural-gas taxis with toxic green paint.
The Fat Frats arrive to paint alongside them while all of the other teams are getting lost around Delhi. However, Starr's knight-in-pretty-bandana and his mother soon arrive.
For some odd reason, Terence and Sarah are having a difficult time communicating with their taxi-driver. Sarah learned how to say "fast" in Spanish and Portuguese, but apparently not Hindi. She tells the taxi driver to go "Vrrooomm Vrrooom!" I so wanted him to turn around and say "Bitch do I look like a 2 year old to you?!"
Ken and Tina finally arrive last after berating everyone in their path over the location of the shop. Tina is NOT happy about being last. Uh oh! Hold on to the jewels Ken! Somebody's aaaaangry!
Nick/Starr complete taping paper all over the no-paint parts of the taxi and start to spray paint. Fat Frats and Toni/Dallas are close behind. For the rest, this roadblock looks like it's clearly going to cause some drama. Tina's breathing down Ken's neck and Terence won't shut the fuck up while Sarah's trying to do it.

I get the distinct feeling that everytime Terrence and Sarah call one another "Babe," they're really thinking "Dumbass"...which is why the longer the race goes on, the more often they call each other "Babe."

That scene between Ken and Tina was very sweet. I was kind of shocked, considering how badly she has been treating him.
Can you imagine what it's like when Terrence and Sarah have sex? I'm sure Sarah has to stroke his hair and tell him he's beautiful the whole time.

Thanks BB, good luck on your quest to catch up!
They should rename this season, Amazing Tool Race . . . what a bunch of maroons!
Cannot believe the Frat guys can't handle ironing, their mom's should be ashamed, and frankly, I don't think anyone ever taught me how to iron, I just figured it out, same with all those chores . . . too lame . . .
Terrance, there are no words . . .
Tina is the new spelling of see you next Tuesday . . .
Me no likey Starr and Nick anymore, I don't think it's necessary to be so decietful, esp when they're winning . . . sometimes I enjoy when people play hard, but they seem to be petty at this point with the misleading and lying . . .

Awesome recap b!
Wow, I feel like I really gained insight into what Ken's homelife must be like. All I can say is, "I understand the cheating, Ken. I truly do." I wouldn't normally sanction such a thing, but really, the poor guy probably just needed a few minutes with someone who wasn't berating him every 4.2 seconds. yeesh.

The divorcees really need to get a life and some new and different frame of reference. Thus far every single episode they managed to somehow equate the task to some part of their past married life in a most disparaging way, and attack their ex-husbands. I've never seen such passive-aggressive women. They are so hateful, it defies explanation. They must have been truly dreadful wives. I wander that they do not just chalk it all up to youthful mistakes, and since they seem to hate all men now, decide that they are lesbians after all - they seem made for each other, and it is clear they adore one another, the rest of the world be damned. I really, really can’t stand them. I can't even manage enough sympathy for them thru basic female solidarity since they are both insults to women everywhere and to the institution of marriage. Those ex-husbands must be thanking their lucky stars every minute of every day.

I don't even want to think about what Terence says during sex! "Babe, I really need for you to..."-*shudder*
Maybe he is great in bed, and that's why she's with him?
I'm actually starting to like Andrew a little. And Toni and Dallas are sweet. Some of the others, I can tolerate because of their entertainment value. But if it came down to Terence/Sara, Nick/Starr, and Ken/Tina, who seem to be the strongest teams, I don't know who I'd root for! I just hope Toni and Dallas make it to the end!

Ooooh, Terence in bed:
"No, no, higher, higher! You missed a spot! We're screwed!"
Sorry! Hee-hee.

I have a new drinking game. Everytime Terrence and Sarah say "babe" drink. The only problem was that when I played it, I was unable to get out of bed Monday.
I also really like Dallas and Toni. He is really sweet to his mom and doesn't get frustrated with her. Plus his hair is amazingly high.

Great recap. Funny and not too long. Great job!
Record me as another vote for Toni and Dallas.
Nick/Starr have been downgraded below the frat boys on my list.
Do not EVEN want to imagine Terence and... ewwww!
