fullofdumb.jpg This week's Amazing Race reminded everybody why we watch the show. Week in, week out, the outcomes of the race is completely up in the air. With multiple ways of travel and multiple challenges to choose from, teams are constantly changing positions. A first place finish one week doesn't mean you are the favorite the next. And if you are the last team to advance, you will have plenty of chances to catch up with the pack and get into the thick of things.

Never was this concept more evident than last night's episode. After spending some time resting at the villa in Uraguay, the teams had to drive to a disco in Montevideo, and teams didn't travel two miles before people were gaining ground, or losing it. Amazing Race often requires the teams to drive themselves, which is usually not difficult, but does require some sort of sense of direction. Out of the gate, everybody is rushing to get started and few take time to look at maps. Naturally, some people take wrong turns and several of the teams lost time because they couldn't follow the map.

In Montevideo, the teams had to go into a disco and find clues among the foam and dancing people. It was a fairly easy challenge, which proved difficult only for Mirna and Charla. After arriving in the city, they had no clue how to get anywhere. They even attempted to solicit a prostitute for some information, but apparently she was shy of cameras. The married couple Chip and Kim, along with the twins Kami and Karli (who must love their parents for giving them those unoriginal misspelled first names) decided that they would form a loose alliance, but they lost each other after only 5 minutes. Remember, these were the two teams that had trouble with directions during the first week, and it looks like we will see a lot of them in the future.

The first team to arrive at the next leg of the race was Donny and Alison, and we saw that the next destination would be Buenos Aires, Argentina, and the teams would travel by ferry. The first ferry was not leaving until 4:30 AM, so because of the delay, all of the lead time Alison and Donny had at the beginning was erased. Even teams that started one hour later than them arrived in time to take the first ferry. Even Charla and Mirna made it to the first ferry in time, thanks to the ever-tiresome use of pity over Charla's condition to get them great advantage. Remember when Charla wanted to show little people could do everything the rest of us can? Well, apparently, that is implicit on the rest of the world feeling sorry for her and wanting to help her out. You can see how she is taking her equality movement forward.

Buenos Aires gave us our second detour of the race, but teams first had to make it to the grave of Evita Peron to get the clue. Those sly producers knew that Evita and her husband are buried in different cemeteries, which might cause confusion. The producers were right, as some people went to the wrong cemetery. In a little bit of a surprise, Jim and Marsha accused the Bowling Moms of sabotage after they had been told by the two residents of Palmdale that they should exchange money. After spending some time in line at the currency exchange and seeing no other team, Jim and Marsha left, with Jim cursing the Bowling Moms along the way.
