Synopsis:



Episode 8 of 12

A few markets might have to pad. Baltimore/Seattle is still going on in the 4th quarter as of 7:02pm ET

Can't believe Ernie is still crying like little girl that they got beaten in a footrace after he and Cindy used their express pass to jump ahead and still finished second.

LiquidSky

The bunnies!

mwbmis

Watching the AR all these years, they always build the "false drama" about who is going to be eliminated. Unless you see multiple teams in the same shot, it's always the team that's in last. Tonight was surprising.

I'd had enough of Lawrence anyway so I'm not really sorry to see him go.

LiquidSky

Agreed. I don't like those two.

Glad to see that twat of a dad get the boot. The son seems cool, though.

dolphinboy

They had them in such small cages, but at least they have universal healthcare.

The is the first time that I can even recall, where there is no team that I'm specifically rooting for at this point...even going into this leg.

mwbmis

I'm ambivalent about Ernie, but I like Cindy quite a bit. She seems pretty level-headed.

I was glad to see teams strategically use the U-Turn in this episode. Everyone is always so concerned about being the "good guy". Not using it in the last leg cost Ernie and Cindy a lot of money. They won that express pass fair and square and should have won that leg. I'm still questioning the fairness of putting a team of young athletes on the race (no matter how much pot they may or may not smoke).

Liked how Marcus was jumping with the bunny when his wife was leading it.

The first bunny got winded? I guess they have a use for all that butter...

Evan Meadow

I couldn't believe the backhanded compliment he was giving his son.

davidh777

How did they win the express pass again? I don't recall...

Derrich

I like the twist in Sandy's stroke when churning the butter. The woman has solid technique.

mwbmis

It's one of the "prizes" for winning the first leg of the race.

LiquidSky

I noticed that throughout the game. Putting his son down alot.

I have Jeremy & Sandy in the AR pool, I was convinced they were going home. The team that is behind never catches up like they make you think in the editing, I knew it wouldn't be a non-elimination leg, I was ready to be out of the pool. Then they show up on the mat first, couldn't believe it.

Groucho

Pretty much any time you read about "young person accomplishes _____________ at an early age" they've got parent(s) like that.

Red Dog

I knew that when Marcus and his wife were going to be getting in 12 hours later, it would be an overnight route marker bunch-up.

That father and son must have gotten really lost. The father was a douche, so no great loss.

Merkin Muffley

It's amazing the editors were able to piece together enough butter-churning footage, considering the amount of unairable masturbation jokes that must have been made.

davidh777

Thanks, no wonder I didn't remember. Kind of a big deal then to decide when to play it (then not win the leg anyway). I know that's obvious, but this is the first season i've watched in full.

sauce07

Somebody needs to make a montage of every football analogy Marcus makes, it seems like every episode we get a part where it's 4th and 10, at the 2 minute warning and we need to get the ball in the end zone.

sven

My thoughts exactly.

starseed1981

I really dislike Ernie & Cindy now. Funnily enough, I just found out my cousin actually works with Cindy at Deloitte downtown. Gosh I hope she gets bounced soon.

mugwump

"I was front man in a rock n roll band ya know?"

That Laurence was one smooth fella for sure.

Arpeggi

Same here. I hate Cindy.

Josh-da-man

Strange that so many of them chose the butter churning over the rabbit thing. The bunny hopping looked like it went a lot faster than making butter.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned that for the first time in Amazing Race history (this is slight hyperbole because I haven't watched every season), we have a pair of old people who aren't just in it for a free plane ride and walking tour.
