The Amazing Race 13 -- "Do It Like a Madman" -- 10/26/08

Photobucket


Synopsis:

Spoiler:


One team’s race skids to a halt when they find themselves in trouble with the law. A team’s catty behavior grates on the nerves of another as they vie for plane tickets. A racer tells a flat out lie inside one of the most religious places in the world. A broken boat engine sinks one team’s leg.

Shouldn't be much of a delay in those markets. Some are on time, the others over by 5 or so.

The Frat Bros are dimwits! Read the directions!

And I'm very happy that Tina and her football husband didn't come in first again. Hopefully, they've been knocked down a peg or two.

Me too, especially with the way Phil was half-smiling when the last team hit the mat and he told them they were the last team to arrive.

Now that there are only 6 teams, and one elimination will probably be for the last 3 or 4, next week is sure to be non-elim.

I cracked up when that chick thought that she had to take the woman's real teeth. One of the funniest things I've ever seen on that show.

I only started watching the show last season. Does each season have at least one episode that's non-elimination?

What was up with the red-headed frat dude? He was pumping that gas like a little girl! Couldn't he see everyone else was pumping the heck outta that gas?

The biggest problem with this episode is that you knew the outcome from the beginning. They tried to make it looks like the last team was right on the heels of everybody else, but there was no way.

I think phil said at the start there are 2 non-elim legs, or more to the point he said there are 11 legs, 2 of which are non-elim.

Those two are the geekiest frat dudes I've ever seen. They must be Tri-Lams.

I don't really think it was fair for the eliminated team since due to the airport schedules, they never really had a chance to catch up.

I want to see the slowest team through all the tasks eliminated, not the people who arrived at the destination latest due to flight scheduling.

That was one good thing about Treasure Hunters. Everyone started at the same time each leg so in essence the goal was not to come in last on that leg. It hurts really good teams as they had to come back to the pack each time, but it prevented stuff like what happened on TAR last night.

That's why I thought at first there would be a bunch-up (doors don't open until X) point. Then when there wasn't, I figured it would be non-elim.

I love the way the synopsis plays up non-issues...

"A racer tells a flat out lie inside one of the most religious places in the world."

Yes, quite a scandalous moment. I'm sure Nick will burn for eternity in some sort of Buddhist hell for that one.

"One team’s race skids to a halt when they find themselves in trouble with the law."
and
"A broken boat engine sinks one team’s leg."

Despite their race skidding to a halt AND their leg sinking, Terrence and Phili.... err, Sarah still ended up in 3rd place.

Well they have to manufacture some sort of drama since it's not like there's a lot going on at this point. None of the teams seem overly dysfunctional, or cocky, and the only really unlikeable team is the divorcees.

His make-up blast was spot on, though.

No doubt.

When I saw Dallas in the first ep, I assumed he'd be kind of a douchebag with his sleeveless shirts and gelled-up hair. But he and his mom have done a pretty good job so far.

The "Teen Wolf and Wolfmother" line had me cracking up

The bimbos aren't the sharpest team, but they gained respect from me for finishing the kiwi stomp--and not complaining about it.

And I'm not normally attracted to redheads, but...damn she's hot.
