Terence starts flipping out and screaming. This show has become total schadenfreude for me! I giggle with glee as Terence comes undone in the middle of an intersection. Unfortunately Toni and Dallas ruin everything by stopping to tell them where to get the taxis. Damn do-gooders! At least they didn't invite them into their taxi.
Terenece and Sarah then hike it to the taxis while Terence whines about Sarah loving him. UGH.
Back on the beach, Ty & Aja and the Southern Belles (blondes) are neck and neck. The Blondes are about to burst into tears while Ty & Aja pull ahead. You can tell the Blondes are getting close to making a "if the confederates had only won" comment. Why I declare! The Blondes finally finish and declare they're "tough daredevils now!" Exactly.
The Divorcees finally decided to give up digging because "no one can find the container!" They still don't get it - until 10 minutes later in the taxi!
Teams find their next clue at the Parque which tells them they have to read a 600 foot wall to find their next destination. The Nerds and Ken & Tina get there first - Tina and Bill scour the wall looking for the destination - and Bill (wisely so) gets the idea to just write EVERYTHING down and bring it back to have it checked. Tina (of course) immediately steals his idea. Best part - she'll take all the credit for it. He OWES her!
Bill goes to the lil' Brazilian guy and reads EVERY line of the wall to him. Finally he gets it right (or the Brazilian guy just gave it to him because Bill was ruining his chance at getting laid by one of the blondes) and the Nerds are off! The next stop is "Cidade da Crianca".
Tina finally gets the clue and Ken is so excited he gives her a big ol' hug:
The Nerds are cackling about winning this leg which only means they'll fuck something up. Hubris! Sure enough - Tina and Ken speed up and blow by while the Nerds yell "Let the fat boys have one!" Yeah. FAT chance. Tina would rather go a day without telling people Ken cheated on her. (You're welcome Tina.)
As all of the teams arrive, they all tell their taxi's to wait (per their directions) - which can only mean one team's gonna forget. Votes? Blondes or Divorcees?! HA - sure enough - the Divorcees! Knew it! Holy shit. When the Southern Belles start out-smarting you - it's time to go back to clue-school.
Back at the checkpoint - Ken & Tina and the Nerds are in a footrace - it's Snatchy Bitch & Cheatin' Meathead followed by the Roly Poly's - Roly Poly's take the lead - Snatchy Bitch & Cheatin' Meathead pull ahead and... and...it's Snatchy Bitch & Cheatin' Meathead by a nose to win it!!!
What do they win Phil!? An off-road vehicle! Perfect! Just the thing for Tina to drive through Ken's house when they finally get that divorce!
Tina said that hearing they were team number one gave her hope again for their marriage. Ahh yes - running fast fixes serious marital problems every time!
After Terence and Sarah make-out/scream-at-each-other/make-out they join the other teams searching the wall.
Ok - BEST part of the episode: Nick goes up to Sarah and says "Let's work together." Sarah: OK. Nick: Wait - did you just get here? Sarah: Yes. Nick: Screw it. AND THEN HE DITCHES HER FOR ANOTHER PARTNER!!! HAHAHAHA!!! LOVE IT! Sarah is, of course, completely furious. AND he didn't even say HI.

bBitz, it's hard to say which is better, the actual show or the recap. It's like trying to choose between shoes and paying the rent..it's an impossible situation to find yourself in
Do white people ever get embarrassed by the stuff other white people do like black people? If so, the entire race should hang their heads in shame in honor of Terrance and Sarah (or as like to call them Rose Nyland and Noballs Magillicutty)
Every time I see Tina her eyebrows look like she is thinking *high voice* SAY WHAAAAAAAT *high voice*
Are the Fat Frats just recreating the entire movie "Super Bad"? I'm waiting for a bully to come out the store and grab one of them by the collar and say "you are not invited to my party and neither is your f*(%*&^ friend"

missed the epi, so thanks for catching me up, Bblitz!!! Great recap, and too funny how these people are just so . . . I honestly can't for the life of me remember who Anthony and Stephanie are, so I guess I don't miss them . . . .
I fear Terrence and Sarah are the Flo and Zach . . . sigh . . .
Sorry to see Nick being a dick . . . down several notches for me . . . inner ugly ruins outer cuteness . . .

Too funny recap! Loved the god taking a whiz comment.You know if the blondes HAD gotten to the Docket detour they would have been eliminated because they would have had to visit both their myspace,facebook and yahoo accounts while activating IM before ever looking for their crate number. PS loved the Yoda voice, can't help it, I'm a diehard Star Wars fan...I had missed the part where Terence had asked for an ice cream HAHAHAA that's just too much. I hope they stay around for a while. Thanks, your recaps are the BEST!

Thanks for the recap! I too, loved the line about God whizzing, hahaha. Too much funny stuff in this recap for me to remember it all, but that definitely sticks out. ;-)
I couldn't believe all the teams that made mistakes this episode. I thought it was hilarious though that Terence and Sarah couldn't find the taxi's. It seemed like everyone else found them right away. They must have been too busy making out though to see which way to go.

I'm glad Terence is a straight-ee cause he's just an embarassment to men everywhere. I'm SO glad he's not gay. (He's not gay, right?)
Okay, I don't understand why Ken is staying with Tina. She's old. She's saggy and she's a b*tch. Couldn't he find someone young, perky and a b*tch? Wouldn't that be better?
Like Mark and Bill because they seem like decent men.
Likin' Dallas anytime he takes his shirt off.

This episode was chock full of...something.
Digging at the beach...missing the telltale arrows...asking for an ice cream cone...but the best part for me was the divorcees while in the cab swearing that they would never again make another mistake because they would READ THE CLUE...immediately followed by them not telling their taxi to stay put, because they forgot to read the clue!
Keep up the great work.

Your recap was hilarious!! I literally laughed for 5 minutes about the description of Anthony and the taxi cabs... too funny! There were so many other priceless gems that also made me LOL.
I kinda like the computer geeks ~ did ya hear them when Kent & Tina passed them in the cab, say something sarcastically about them winning a foot race with an ex-NFL guy. They seem pretty cool.
Thank you for the laughs! Keep up the fantastic recaps!

OMG!!!! Get out of my head! These bitches is crazy. I would give up my favorite pair of jeans to watch an Amazing Race - The Political Season. The world would have a much better idea on who to vote for. Or perhaps, McCain would just kick the bucket and the race would be less painful. Keep up the great writing!

I call BS on Tina actually getting an airline to change the type of plane. There's a bit more that goes into scheduling an aircraft than say, upgrading to a full size car at the rental counter. And could Tina brag anymore about this? (even though it was total BS). And then rewarding herself with frontsies in line? But her driving a dune buggy through McCheater's bachelor pad is funny.
And wow, the divorcees are D-U-M-B. Perhaps they should have used their alimony for brain implants instead of their custom made front lumps.

I don't know the nerds' real names, but the bald one with the moustache looks exactly like Tobias from Arrested Development.

I agree that the nerds are a couple of sweeties. But they're wrong about not being able to get snippy with a romantic partner on the race--look at Terence. God, what a jackass!
Does anybody know Ken's last name? I am wondering if I know him from his NFL days. I agree, he needs to ditch the wife. He could do better.

"AND THEN HE DITCHES HER FOR ANOTHER PARTNER!!! HAHAHAHA!!! LOVE IT!"
Joke's on Nick (and you, too, bBitz), though. Sarah solved it long before he did. If he hadn't ditched her, he'd have been done.
Sorry you support his assholish move to Andrew, too. That made me lose any and all respect for you. So a big "FUCK YOU!" to you.

Hey everyone!
Thanks for writing comments - love it!
Some thoughts:
Fayellis1: I get embarrassed by the things white people do all of the time - have you watched the current campaign for president? :)
juddfan: I was a lil' sorry to see Nick be a dick too - but then I thought - at least he's being upfront about playing the game - unlike many others who smile and then stab someone in the back.
soapboxx: Don't forget tmz.com. Trash!
JustJesse: I'm beginning to think the producers hide the arrows when T&S are coming because they know it'll make for great TV.
Mr Dangerous: He is NOT gay: A) That hair. B) I don't want him on my team. And I think Ken stays with Tina out of compete and total fear. Shit - I'm afraid she'll read this blog and come after MY balls.
cattyfan: Isn't it amazing the Divorcees are turning out to be dumber than the Southern Belles?! Plot twists!
lijjy: I def love the nerd's sense of humor and laid-back but sensible pace. That's won a race before - the Hippies!
ralleykat: It would be great to have a political amazing race but I don't think Palin would participate. She can already see the world on her TV at home. Between the soaps of course.
swimbikerun: Oh yeah - haven't you ever been upgraded a plane at check-in? You just ask for it like she did. "Prop plane? - naahhhh - I'd prefer the 747. Thanks!"
Zwicker: LOL. Totally! But not as funny.
pixielated: No idea. You're asking the wrrrrrong person. Keep me posted though. :)
Dale: I was most excited to get to this comment! Either this is Terrence (not Dale) writing, or you are in a league of "takes TV & humor way too seriously" all of your own. I'm sorry you've lost respect for me. It's certainly why I write for TVGasm. To command respect! However - know this - your comment made me laugh the hardest - so now I support YOU over Nick! Now what?!

This is one of the funniest AR seasons, ever. I swear, though, when Terrence asked for Ice Cream it was like a child was talking. I kept waiting for him to stomp his feet and have Sarah put him in time-out.

Hey, don't you recap Amazing Race anymore???
I've been waiting! What's up?
