The Amazing Race 13 -- "Do you like American Candy?" -- 10/5/08

Photobucket

Sunday's episode:

Spoiler:


A game of blindly following the leader forces two girls to unwillingly get their very clean hands dirty. After being slighted by team after team, one desperate couple is thrilled by another team's surprising "class act" move. One Racer gloats about convincing an airline to perform an unbelievable move…so unbelievable that a fight breaks out over how true the story really is. One team's failure to properly read a clue causes them to dig and dig and dig for a treasure that doesn't exist…will they realize their time-wasting mistake before its too late?

The want to get married girl and the guy who doesn't.

I wish they hadn't given it away early on in the episode. It was way too early in the season for the personal growth moment for a team not leaving at the end of the show.

In this leg - the divorcees

Intentional or not, that was some horrible editing with the painter awarding the last clue to the teams.

Yeah, I like the divorcee team. But, man, they were huge idiots on this leg.

I'm glad the geeks did well, but does it get more cliche than quoting Yoda?

Fucking football. I missed the last 30 minutes . So to prevent this from happening again, I manually added a timer from 8-10pm. Not taking any chances anymore.

Me too. I never remember until it happens the first time every season.

That couple that got eliminated was insulting the culture, talking about the poverty of the region, etc. in front of the cab driver. You have at least one team like this every season.

Terrence and Sarah are a couple of nuts. But they say there's somebody for everyone. T: "Blow on my forehead." S: "They went by and didn't even wave or speak to us."

And I think this has got to be the dumbest group of players ever. That said, it should be an entertaining season with all the opportunities for future stupidity.

The geeks are my favorites. Someone who quotes Yoda is okay in my book. Win, they will!

I don't think they'll win but I have to root for them. Not only are they from San Diego but Mark is the CFO for Comic-Con International.

Wait -- they're divorcees!? They should have mentioned something about it during the episode.

Man, next you'll be telling me that the football player and his wife are trying to patch up their marriage.

Cool. I knew they were comic book nerds -- they were both wearing David Lapham shirts in the first episode interview -- but I didn't realize that Mark was a professional comic book nerd.

At this point, I would be rooting for them even if I weren't a big old comic book nerd myself, simply because they are the only tem so far who seems like decent and capable human beings. In an ordinary year, they would stand no chance of winning, but with the collection of idiots they are racing against, you never know.

Damn that incessant taking credit for getting a bigger plane was annoying the crap out of me. Even if you were responsible for it, who cares - everyone ended up on the same flight and nobody got an advantage.

That annoyed the heck out of me as well. It seemed like no team was going to be able to get on the smaller plane anyhow, so all the teams were going to end up on the same plane no matter what. It wasn't like she and a few other teams got on the smaller plane and she then talked the airline into getting a bigger plane so the other teams in the back of pack could catch that earlier flight as well.

What I don't understand is why the blow on my forehead guy didn't just tell the blond bitch" they got a bigger plane because of your fat ass". The ensuing hilarity would have been great.
