The Amazing Race FE
Episode 5
In the Weaver family is it a mom and 3 girls or 2 boys and a girl? I was sure last week as a collective the mom called them girls. I could be wrong but that just happens so little. I mean at first glance I thought it was a boy then I thought I heard her call them girls. So I thought maybe it was a tom boy girl. Who am I to judge?
The race is underway and they're flying to Panama and searching for some dude in a hammock. First Les in a gas station now a guy hanging from a tree. Are they running out of clue ideas or what?
I just clued in to the fact that a girl is doing this race with 3 brothers. She's either the bravest girl in the world or the dumbest. I think personally if I were in her position I'd get some rope, find the nearest tree and take a swan dive.
The teams seem pretty excited to actually be flying somewhere. So far this race must seem like the longest, most boring class trip in history. Finally they get to go to a place with a slight language barrier. Maybe the excitement will pick up.
There's a blond girl who is on the all girl team and it may or may not be the same girl who last week had a mental moment over her backpack but that's really no the point. One of those girls has runaway bride eyes.
OK I'm pretty sure now that the Weaver kid is in fact a boy. Like 98% sure.
It's very strange, every time I watch this show it's interrupted by breaking news. Last week it was sandbagging a dam and tonight it's storm info and the remnants of Wilma. I don't need a news report for this being that I'm pretty sure my house has blown off the hill I live on and is now sitting in Munchkin land while the Munchkins dance around it singing their little Munchkin songs. I'm unsure about landing on a witch but I do have a witch smashed against the side of the house, or at least I did before the storm but my Halloween decorations are probably all over Hell's half acre now.
OK back to the show, at the airport a lady (sorry I have no idea who again, I still don't know a soul's name) tell the Paolo boy to be nice to his mother. It's about time someone mentioned that. The mother is a pregnant dog but she's still his mom.
In Panama the teams get into taxis and are off to find dude in the hammock. This goes relatively smoothly except that the taxi driver made a lewd comment to one of the girls in the daddy/daughter team.
Of course the place where they have to search for dude in the hammock is closed until morning. What is the point of having a race if they always get to a point where they force them all to start at the same time? Would I ever pitch a hissy fit if I were on this show and I was hours ahead of someone and I had to wait on a dock with the danger of being eaten by a crocodile while the other teams catch up.
Finally the next morning they get on the boats that will take them to dude in the hammock. One girl starts spanking her ass as her boat passes another team's boat. How classy is that? Not to mention bad sportsmanship. She needs to learn a little couth.
On one team's boat the driver starts off in the complete opposite direction from the other boats. Apparently someone neglected to tell him that he's part of a race because he said he had to pick up some other people before they could go. I'd have knocked him out of the boat and drove my d**n self.
I think I'm dyslexic when I'm writing fast like this. Some words I can't even decipher later. Obviously this has nothing to do with the show but I thought I'd share anyway.
We finally learn that dude in the hammock's name is Ricardo. Great. How many Ricardos would there be in Panama? This shouldn't be hard at all. Not to mention the poor people that are not Ricardo that are trying to relax in their hammocks that keep getting bugged by groups of screaming people asking if they were Ricardo. I'd put a post-it note on my forehead that said "I'm not Ricardo so don't ask."
Detour is a choice between collecting 4 instruments and delivering them to a club or searching the rain forest for wooden birds and circling them on a page or something to that effect at least, and the only fast forward in the whole race is a tandem bungee jump.
d**n my pen is drying out. I NEED A NEW PEN! Why can you never find a pen when you need one? I probably have a million in this house.
They're told to get on the buses to go to whatever task they choose to do and the Paolo boy turns around, looks at a giant line of buses and says, "That looks like the bus over there." No nuts Sherlock. And for all of you Blue Collar Comedy fans, ' there's your sign '.
On the bus a Paolo boy has this random "I'm proud my dad's a garbage man" moment. A rare sweet moment from this team but the thought seemed to drop out of the clear blue sky and seemed completely out of place where it was presented.
Looks like the kid team and the Paolo's and going to try for the Fast Forward. Are they insane? First they let that child climb a giant chair and now they're going to let her fling herself off a big scaffolding thingy? They need to give their head a shake. I almost hope the Paolo's go through with it so I don't have to see that poor child go through this.
OK is it me or did one of those birds nutse on camera? Did they really think that was necessary to show?
The Paolo's did get through the Fast Forward and the oldest boy screamed like a baby girl. He creamed more than the mom. This boy is never gonna date again.
Did you ever wonder what Phil does when he's waiting for the teams to arrive at the Pit Stop? Is he off camera somewhere chatting with some local ladies while sipping drinks and smoking cigars until someone gives him the heads up that someone's coming? How far in advance do they get him? And what about the random person that stands with him, what do they do? If I'm gonna stand around for hours on end waiting for people to arrive they best be giving me something to d**n well do. An Uno deck or something.
The Road Block is something to do with baseball, missed the exact details but suffice to say it sounded impossible.
The sister/brothers team heckles the poor Weaver boy as he tries to accomplish the task. How freaking rude? He's a child for God's sake! What a bunch of not a very nice persons.
I'd totally suck at this baseball task but I'd give it my all not hyperventilate and whine like the girl on the all girl team did. It may have been runaway bride eyes but I don't know. Either way it's for $1 000 000, get the lead out of your ass lady!
The kid family team made it and the poor little girl is one bundle of sweat. Poor little thing needs a bath and a nap and probably something to eat. Someone get that poor child a drinking box and some goldfish crackers or something before she keels over!
Runaway bride eyes and the other 3 come in last wearing every stitch of clothes they own in case it's a non elimination round. Well they were right so at least they did one thing right. At the least the mental one can't have a break down over her backpack anymore.
