The Amazing Race - 10/04/2009 - (Live Commentary/Discussion)

[Brent]

Looking forward to another great episode tonight! To recap, Eric and Lisa were eliminated before the first leg even began. Garrett and Jessica were eliminated at the end of the first leg, in Vietnam.

Tonight:

Zev and Justin’s race falls to pieces when they lose control of a giraffe.

Don’t miss it tonight at 8/7c on CBS!

 

[Brent]

Wow, TAR will actually be on time for me tonight, no delay! yay

 

[Brent]

Geez Lance is an idiot, "Where's the clue"? haha

Geez Lance is an idiot, "Where's the clue"? haha

Yeah, no kidding. Have these people never watched the Amazing Race before? Not every clue is spelled out for you, genius.

Anyways, my detour pick this week is "Child's Play". It just seems easier to move something then try and unscramble letters to spell out a word in Vietnamese.

 

[firehawk12]

Hah, they got the rights to that Globetrotters song!

 

[eastman23]

Idiots. Here I was thinking the giraffe was the last thing that needed to be moved and they had no choice, but it looked like there were some other figures that could have been moved.

But they go and pick the tallest and most awkward figure to move?

 

[firehawk12]

Wow... even though it's VCRs, I have to wonder if they're dealing with any toxic material.

 

[eastman23]

Nice foot race to the pit stop, though it's gotta suck to come in second and actually hear what the first place guys win.

 

[Brent]

Lance and Keri need to go, idiots

 

[firehawk12]

The preview was cut fairly lame, mostly because they tried to create a sense of "mystery". I figure it's kind of obvious that the teams on the minicab things wouldn't be the ones who lost their passport anyway.

 

[eastman23]

Didn't we have the lost passport thing last season too?

 

[firehawk12]

Yeah, but the team was eliminated anyway, so it wasn't a big deal.

Although, they've said that their passports were returned to the embassy, so they might have been able to pick up and continue if they were able to continue.

 

[Brent]

Losing a passport is never a good thing

Will Lance and Keri get a speed bump next leg?
