The LA Blondes are just now leaving the Pit Stop and telling us about how they are BFF's. Wow, congratulations girls. As they enter the chicken pen, one of them says to the other, "They're going to pluck you and everything." Pluck you? Well that should be a relief because I'm sure it's been a while since you two have had an eyebrow wax, so you should be happy that the chickens are able to help out and pluck you. It's peck, brainiac, whichever one of you said that. The chickens may peck you. But I'm sure that neither of you know the difference. The little one is all freaked out as they get the chicken into the bag, but she pulls it together for the taxi ride. They decide to name their chicken Phil due to the similarity in looks between their host and the chicken - you know, spiky hair and all. The chicken just sits there looking extremely uncomfortable having to listen to them.
"Hello, my name is Phil."
The Siblings arrive at the end of their 100 mile taxi journey, but just as Azaria is gearing up to ride Hendekea's butt, she decides to look for a bathroom, nearly putting Azaria over the edge. Imagine the nerve of her, having to pee after 100 miles through the desert! Because Hendekea is dawdling around going to the bathroom, The Babies get to the clue first and learn that it is a Detour. Phil? Please explain. Well, it's like this. The teams can either shake their pan - trying out a local trade by panning for one ounce of gold out of a mud hole, or shake their booty - trying out a local art form by learning a tribal dance from some performers who keep bringing to my mind this big muppet:
Well, I was raised in America.
The dance will be judged by some local "celebrities," and the teams must incorporate some of their own creativity into their performance. If the judges like the dance, they will get the next clue, but if not, they will get a 10 minute penalty. Thanks, Phil!
The Babies decide to shake their booties, because, as Jennifer tells us, she has just finished a season of being a dancer for the LA Clippers. Really? Her? Aren't those girls supposed to be pretty? Oh there I go getting snippy. The Hippies also decide to shake their booties, as do The Siblings. Just about now Lorena and Jason are finally heading out from the Pit Stop in last place. Lorena's face is all red and puffy from crying for about six hours yesterday under the camel, but she's putting on a happy face for this leg. Meanwhile Nick and Grandpa Donald hound their taxi driver into passing the taxi containing Jem and Rio. Then Moronald and Christina's taxi passes them as well. Look out for angry Goths. Lorena and Jason grab a chicken and a taxi and they are still in this race!
The Clippers girl smugly thinks she is picking right up on the tribal dance moves and Nathan yells at her to not talk to him in dance terms. You know, like "two on this side, two on that side." It's just too confusing if you haven't been to Juilliard. For their performance, Jennifer stomps back and forth while Nathan looks like he's having an epileptic seizure and the locals look on snickering and hiding their heads. When they randomly stop dancing the judges tell them that they showed no creativity and to get in the naughty corner for their 10 minute penalty.
She used to dance for the Burkina Faso Hunters.
Don't mess with her.
The Hippies try to learn the dance for a minute and then give up and decide to go and pan for gold. Don't worry, TK and Rachel. Not everyone can dance for the LA Clippers. Nicholas is busy sending Grandpa Donald into the mud hole to get to work panning for gold and The Siblings perform their dance and as they wait for the judges' decision Azaria says "merci," thinking that means "please" in French. Retard. Oops, how obscene of me - I need to be bleeped. The judges tell them they were very good and I call favoritism. The next clue tells them to head for the Pelegtanga Market, but warns that there is a U-Turn ahead. Goody! That means Phil is back to explain.
"Will YOU-TURN a team around?"

Thanks for the recap, I thought I heard Handekia said "gimp leg" and not retard.

Another great recap! I have to say that I was a little disappointed by this episode. There were no equalizers so the teams ended in essentially the same order as they did last time. Watching Moronald and Christina dance was priceless though.

Thanks for the great recap, Honey. And for being so quick about it. I actually fell asleep before it started and missed the entire episode, but I figured I could watch it on CBS's website. Nope, they play all the other CBS shows except for TAR. I was glad to read that Lorena finally got eliminated!! (if you remember I was hoping last week that they would be gone this week). Sorry I missed it though. Thanks again....

I have to admit that I am sort of sad to see the Lorena madness come to an end. Her two year old tantrums left me in such laughter. Yes, Jason should snatch her right- can you imagine the breakdown she would have after a sleepless night when their "lovechild" awoke again and started crying?
Oh, and although chickens don't pluck, goats do ram. I know because I sported a bruise during my Jamaican honeymoon due to a
small goat incident on the way to our goat free resort.

That Jason was kind of cute.
I'm rooting for Pinky and Vixen from here on out.

Hi Guys!
Thanks so much for your comments! They make my day, week, month, etc.
Kibbles - Hendekea did say something about a gimp leg, but I thought the word that was bleeped was "retard." But what do I know? It was my best attempt at blurred lip reading. :)
Lotsofhose - You're right! My mom also told me that goats ram after I wrote this. Oops. It just sounded funny because their goat was a baby, had no horns, and was strapped to a basket. Those blonde girls...
I'm really liking Vyxsin and Kynt (Jem and Rio) too! They are very sweet and likable.
Much love!

Great recap, Honey!
Nick (or as I like to call him Do-Nothing-Nicholas) is getting a free ride around the globe, must be nice to have pap-pap do all your dirty work.
I think the producers gave Lorena a shot of elephant tranquilizer during the last pit stop, she was way too calm.
I can't wait to see what kind of livestock they introduce next week, maybe lion taming?
