Even the Fat Frats can see how obnoxious Terence is to Sarah:
They say, "Who makes their wife do body work on a vehicle!?" AWESOME. Hey Terence - when you have guys who look like this showing more chivalry than you - you're officially an ASSHOLE.
Meanwhile - Tina has become UBER-BITCH with Ken. Oh my God. If I was competing on this race I swear I would've turned around and been like "TINA - SHUT... THE FUCK... UP!" Poor Ken - I think I'm going to awake screaming tonight after hearing "KENNY! TAPE HERE! YOU MISSED A SPOT! AHHHHH!!!"
Not to mention if I hear the word "Babe" used after watching this show I'm going to instinctively scream, "SHUT THE FUCK UP TERENCE!"
By some miracle the Fat Frats are the first ones done with the Road Block! The next clue reads that they must head off to the Ambassador Hotel and look for an Indian doorman hidden in the gardens. Nick and Starr quickly finish right behind them.
Ken/Tina and the Divorcees soon finish while Terence has a melt-down that Sarah isn't going fast enough. He's so supportive. Screaming things like "We're gonna be eliminated!" and "We're so screwed!"
Nick and Starr have already made it to the Indian at the hotel where they find a DETOUR: Launder Money or Launder Clothes. In Launder Money, teams must make an Indian wedding necklace decorated with rupees. Teams must exchange their own case to get the right amount of rupees for the necklace. Then they have to find a waiting groom to give it to. There's a good chance I fucked that up as it confused the shit out of me.
Other the other hand, Launder Clothes: Iron clothes. Ahhh - much easier.
Ken and Tina got their cab river to hang around for them while they painted - but it turns out that was a bad idea. It appears this guy just moved to Delhi and has no fucking clue where anything is.
The Divorcees decide on "Launder Clothes" because they "don't want to get confused with money." Yes - it's much easier to let people like lawyers handle money so they can wipe your ex-husbands clean. The Fat Frats make the same decision which is also hysterical since I'm sure their laundry experience is limited to washing skid marks out of undies in the Frat house sink. However they think they'll outdo the Divorcees since they're only "semi-attractive". Suave guys... suave.
Terence and Sarah finally finish and head off in a taxi while playing "Dr. Phil". Only in this case "Dr. Phil" is a cab driver that I'd assume contemplates suicide once he hears them talking.
Teams soon arrive at "Launder Clothes" which is something like a Guantanamo Bay for dirty clothes. They beat them, put them under pressure - and oh look - here come Americans to do it all for them!
Side note: Is anyone else sad that instead of this "traditional" Indian tasks they didn't include a Delta Call Center for one of the road blocks or detours!? How GREAT would that have been?! Teams would have had to answer 50 customer service calls in 20 minutes with a success rate of 10% (5% higher than Delta's).
Meanwhile, Nick wears gloves while ironing because he refuses to touch non-designer jeans with his bare hands.
Let's check in with Ken and Tina who are in last place - you doing OK kids?!
Tina: "Si". That's right - Tina speaks Spanish to the cabbie. Luckily for her the cabbie doesn't understand he was just insulted in another language. Unless of course he watches "Dora" like Tina does to learn about the world around her.
The Divorcees then arrive at the Laundry center to compete.
Yeah! Don't it?! Now you just need your husbands there to suck the life out of them and it'll be complete! Oh - and a lesson in grammar would help. "Don't it make you smarter?!" Yes. Yes it do.
The Fat Frats soon arrive and immediately assume the position of bitching and whining. Meanwhile Ken and Tina begin to figure out the rupee situation. Ken is confused and Tina is (wait for it... wait for it...) annoyed with him! SHOCKER!
The Fat Frats begin to unravel while ironing - complaining that their Mom always does this. Do they realize that millions of people watch this show?! It's like they're TRYING to sabotage their after-AR selves.
Nick and Starr - well in the lead and kicking ass - finish and head off to the pit stop - the Baha'i House.

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!
