The Amazing Race FE
Episode 6
The first clue has the teams off to Costa Rica to the rim of an active volcano. Are you kidding me? Couldn't pay me enough. Well I shouldn't say that because I'm sure I have a price, but it'd be high. Very high. Like Giants tickets, a night with Jeremy Shockey and a few million dollars kinda high.
Of course the Paolo family is bickering from the very moment the clue is opened. Dear Lord they drive me completely insane. I know the mother is a witch but the way those two brats talk to her makes me want to slap them.
OK so there's something I don't understand, why do people hate the Weavers so much? I mean they're a little odd and all but I like them better than most of the not a very nice persons on the other teams. So what am I missing? Did they do something I didn't catch or what?
The daddy/daughter team hail the smallest cab I've ever seen. It was like clowns squishing into a tiny car in the circus or something. It was hilarious.
The all girl team start out with no money and have to rely on their quote unquote feminine charms to get money from locals. You ain't that d**n pretty darlin' so good luck with that. They end up scraping together some money and go to the bus station and got the last ticket. One of them, being the braniac that she is, says "at least we got one". Well duh lady, everyone was going to get one whether you came then or next Tuesday.
I believe the Weavers were the only people to give the all girl team some money to help out, yeah aren't they a bunch of asses.
While walking throughout the seemingly slummy neighborhood of Costa Rica at night the kid family lets the little girl trail along behind the pack. Why isn't someone holding her hand? What is wrong with these people? I'd have had my kid in my purse in that neighborhood if possible.
When did the Weavers suddenly become all religious? Have they ever mentioned God before this point? Seems this show all they've done is pray and ask God to help them in the race as he sees fit. I'm pretty sure God doesn't help people win money on TV shows, he has far more important things to attend to.
The teams start arriving at the volcano and surprise surprise the gate is closed and they have to wait until morning. Vg, I've said it before and I'll say it again, I HATE IT WHEN THEY DO THAT!! In a way it may be good because Clarissa was sleeping in the car and she looked out for the night. Well actually what she looked was dead. Can you imagine how tired that kid is? My son comes home from school so tired he can barely function so I can't even imagine what that kid must be feeling.
After the volcano they head to a coffee plantation... mmmm coffee. Screw the race and the million dollars. It'd be like the mother ship calling me home.
The all girl team is so charming, after the Weavers gave them money they're going to yield them! How Fing pregnant dogy can you be? They ended up not being the ones to do it but that they even said they would is rude.
Is it just me or is it cheesy the way Phil walks toward the camera as he explains the upcoming tasks? I guess they have to have him on camera other than the very end of the show but still.
Speaking of tasks, the next one is to search through 800 lbs of coffee beans for one red bean. My freaking God in Heaven are they insane? This could go one of two ways, be lucky as hell and it just fall out at you or search until the wee hours of the morning on your hands and knees going more and more insane until you're jumping around like the evil purple smurfs snapping at everybody who tells you to continue looking.
