The Amazing Race - Season 10 - Episode 3

I’m a little late with the Episode 3 recap. All those Hollywood meetings to discuss my screenplay for “The Amazing Race Musical Broadway Show” have just eaten up my entire week.

This week’s rundown:

THIS WEEK - 1st - Won a state of the art home entertainment system!
LAST WEEK - 8th, arrived at
Erwin & Godwin - Oh yeah! These boys have been channeling some Hippy power from last season. At the moment they paused in the race to reflect on the history behind one of the challenges - “It is a significant place and it is a place we wanted to honor properly even though it meant that we would be in last place” - they got some major good karma points. What goes around comes around. 1st place baby! If I even see a hint of tye-dye next episode, I’m putting some money down with my bookie.

THIS WEEK - 2nd
LAST WEEK - 2nd, arrived at
Ex-Addict Models (Tyler & James) - I don’t remember a lot from them this leg of the race. Sobriety has definately helped their careers but years of abuse seems to have taken a toll on their personalities. *yawn*

THIS WEEK - 3rd
LAST WEEK - 6th, arrived at
Rob & Kimberly - Shoot me. Shoot me now. No, wait - just shoot both of these two. If you only have one bullet, just shoot her. I’ve yet to see an Amazing Race couples therapy book come out so I wish the dysfunctional would just stick to Doctor Phil or Jerry Springer.

THIS WEEK - 4th
LAST WEEK - 5th, arrived at
Beauty Queens (Dustin & Kandice) - Cho brothers beware. I think the beauty queens may be more than skin deep. You could even find a tiara sticking out of your back - especially if you listen to Tom and Terry who argued that the queens cut them in line at the airline ticket counter. Whether or not they did - who cares. Smart moves win the game and they aren’t in the running for Miss World Politeness here. I think they could make it to the finals - especially if the show visits many damp countries where rust could take it’s toll on one of the other strong teams.

THIS WEEK - 5th
LAST WEEK - 1st, arrived at
Peter & Sarah - Hey, did anybody notice the girl on this team has a fake leg? Whoa.

THIS WEEK - 6th
LAST WEEK - 9th, arrived at
Moms (Lyn & Karlyn) - They annoy me. And when they get kicked off, I bet they end up doing Oprah. Grr.

THIS WEEK - 7th
LAST WEEK - 7th, arrived at
Coalminers (David & Mary) - They’re still in it. Despite her mouth and twisted ankle and his Viet Nam nostalgia about his father, they somehow still managed to finish this leg of the race. I call foul that their major task involved working with coal - which is something a coalminer should be pretty at home with. That’s as unfair as having me in the race and making my challenge all about sarcasm.

THIS WEEK - 8th - Would have been second if not for a penalty!
LAST WEEK - 4th, arrived at
Gay Team (Tom & Terry) - Boys boys boys. Slow down and follow the clues to the letter! These two rode a motor bike from one point of the race to another - when it was expressly forbidden. This cost them a half hour wait at the check point and an almost elimination! After this week’s scare, I expect to see these two toughen up a bit in the next leg of the race.

THIS WEEK - 9th - Eliminated!
LAST WEEK - 3rd, arrived at
Duke & Lauren - Not a good week for the rainbow coalition. The boys in second to last and Duke and his gay daughter eliminated. He may not have a million dollars but he seemed to win some appreciation for his daughter. Maybe The Amazing Race really *is* better than Doctor Phil! Hang on Rob & Kimberly, there may just be hope!
