I wouldn't call last night's installment the most exciting leg so far, but then again, following in the literal footsteps of last week's ridiculous ending was no easy task. Wow, I mentioned "leg" and "foot" in the same sentence without realizing it. If only I had worked in a podiatrist reference too. Oh well.

Anyway, before the racers had even emerged from their moon-like Pit Stop, Phil asked us an important question. "Will Ron and Kelly's relationship be able to withstand the challenges ahead?" We then saw the couple gazing over a pond. Was that the challenge ahead? Oh no! Will they conquer THE POND??? To be fair, the pond did feature crocodiles carrying chainsaws and pepper spray (they have an intense fear of being mugged). The POW and his beauty queen ripped open their first clue and learned they'd be heading to Sankuyo Village where they'd find their next clue under a water tower. As the two loaded up their SUV, Kelly rambled on about how she read the Love Chapter in the Bible the night before and kept substituting her name instead of "love". That's a little odd. Luckily, Kelly gave us examples of what the hell she was talking about: "Kelly is kind, Kelly is patient, Kelly is forgiving," she said. It's bad enough to be so immodest, but to be so immodest in the third person? And in a biblical context? Somebody better smack this bitch.

Truth be told, I couldn't really fault her though. It was sort of fun using "Kelly" for "Love". Now I can say "Kelly's a bitch" and actually be making a cynical statement about romance. I wonder, does Kelly sign her letters, "Kelly, Kelly"? And would it be proper to say that the score of a tennis game is 40 - Kelly? Man, the Kelly/Love substitution is awesome. Let's try some other phrases: "That delinquent needs some tough Kelly", "I think I'm in Kelly", "What this world needs now is Kelly, sweet Kelly", "What's Kelly got to do with it?", "You Give Kelly a Bad Name." Hmmm... I guess I kind of veered into cheesy song titles. Okay, joke's over. Man, I KELLY the Kelly joke.
