Scandinavia was fun, but after all this civilized Ikea romping and hay bale unfurling, it was time to get down and dirty — Third World style. And so The Amazing Race once again shoveled its contestants out of Europe and into Senegal where teams faced all those time honored poverty traditions. You know, the smelly cabs, the flat tires, the haggling cab drivers, and of course, the Westernized condescension. Luckily for us, our usual gaggle of loveable old people and shallow models kept things interesting with an intoxicating brew of vomit, tears, and ambiguous gayness. Can you really ask for anything more?

The show jump started with the teams racing off to the Town Hall tower in Stockholm, which conveniently didn't open until 7 AM the next morning. Somehow Jon, Kris, Hayden, Aaron, Jon, and Victoria all determined that it opened at 10 AM, which meant the local Sheraton had the lucky distinction of hosting six reality stars/vagrants on their lobby couches for the night.

As usual, the episode provided a few snippets of interviews at the outset to frame the emotional and dramatic arcs we would be seeing over the next hour. Last night Rebecca revealed that when she met Adam, his mother was still cutting his toe nails. I don't know who to feel sadder for: Adam or his mom. Either way, Rebecca laid down the gauntlet. "If you're gonna be my boyfriend, you have to cut your own toe nails," she insisted, adding "And I'd like you to stop being gay too."

Meanwhile, the dating models tried their hardest to assert some sort of personality. Kendra commented that she likes the finer things in life, and apparently that includes her giant bandana (which, as we learned from a summer of Big Brother 5, is NEVER acceptable). Freddy meanwhile likes to get down and dirty, as evidenced by his raucous personality and life of the party attitude. Man, what would this season be without Freddy???

As for Bolo, all he wanted was peace with Lori. No more infighting. No more anger. No more people saying "I'm better than you are, you're better than me are." Don't worry, me aren't going to say anything.

Anyway, when the teams eventually plucked their clues off the top of the Town Hall tower, they were sent packing to Senegal. Most everyone got to the airport early on, although Kris and Jon decided to spend the morning sightseeing around Stockholm. Late risers Jon and Victoria approached the Town Hall tower at what they thought was an early time, but reality soon set in as they spied people already atop the structure. "How did they get up there if it doesn't open 'til 10?" asked Victoria. I don't know, maybe it's MAGIC! Amazingly, Jon didn't let loose a torrent of effeminate anger, but I'm sure that's because he was pre-occupied with his garrish blue furry hat. In case you missed it, it was like some ill-advised attempt at kitschy pimp chic - which would have been fine if he were Dennis Rodman, but, uh, he's not.

Eventually though the 10 AM blunder crew got with the program, and while they managed to catch up with the pack, it didn't prevent Aaron from doing his best Chris Farley impersonation as he berated himself with "I'm so STUPID. STUPID STUPID STUPID!"
