Back at the money challenge - Ken/Tina and Terence/Sarah are having a hell of a time. Finally though - Sarah uses her charm (and Terence shuts up long enough) and they get their change. The Indian guys ask Sarah for a kiss in return...
And although Sarah gets all svitzy, Terence glares the guy down with his super tough "Please don't take my girlfriend - you'll hurt me? - oh ok go ahead" look.
Back at the pit stop, Nick and Starr check in FIRST! And are greeted by...
That's one hell of a place to keep your Weber Grill. But Ok. I hope they didn't make this poor lady stand there like that for 4 hours as teams arrived. Ironically, this is also exactly the way Tina looks when she blows her top at Ken everyday.
Phil tells Nick and Starr they've won electric cars and they're really excited about it. I would've died laughing if at that moment little remote controlled cars whizzed out and Phil was like "Surprise!"
Dan is back at the Laundry center... (go ahead...guess)....BITCHING! He says they chose this detour because it was the lesser of two evils. Sounds like a great team name for them.
Back at the money detour - Tina screams at Ken to move on from trying to get change from a guy - only to find out that the guy DOES help them out thanks to Ken. OHHH SNAP! Ken is immediately thrilled that this one moment when he was right was caught on film. It'll be playing in a loop on their TV at home.
The Divorcees come in second at the pit stop while Terence and Sarah have begun their search for an Indian groom. Dallas and Toni complete their ironing and head off.
This shot sums up Terence and Sarah. There's Sarah - making the best of it and smiling. And there's Terence - looking like the apocalypse is at hand.
Back at the laundry center...
The wind blows over their clothes and Dan SNAPS because, according to him, the entire world is against him. Do you think when Dan applies for a job he lists "Positive Attitude" as a strength? I hope it's right after "Can Multi-Whine many things at once."
Terence and Sarah make their way to their taxi where Terence SCREAMS "GO FAST!!!" at the guy. Yes Terence - you fucked up all day - now by all means place all of it on top of the poor cab driver. You dildo.
Meanwhile, Tina and Ken go running through the streets looking for a cab while dogs run after them and bark. I guess even Indian dogs just love a bitch in heat. HEY OH!
Just as the Fat Frats finish, Ken/Tina find a taxi and it's a race for last place! However, Tina decides to waste time by FREAKING OUT trying to get into the taxi. I swear Ken was about 5 seconds away from yelling, "JUST LEAVE HER BEHIND! GO!"
Ken and Tina arrive LAST - HOWEVER - it's a NON-ELIMINATION ROUND! But - this means at some point in the race they will encounter a "speed bump" that only they have to complete.
OH MY GOD. And then comes the most heart-wrenching part of this season yet. Ken gets all teary-eyed talking about his and Tina's relationship - and then she touches his face ever so gently and asks if he's OK. WHAT?! Where did this come from!? I'm guessing after the camera shut off she finished him off with a slap and screamed, "DON'T YOU EVER SHOW WEAKNESS AGAIN!"
And that's it! Great episode! Any thoughts?! I'd love to stick around and chat but I'm headed straight into last night's episode in an effort to catch-the-fuck-up! So until then... DISH 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!
