The Amazing Race 14 -- "Gorilla? Gorilla?? Gorilla???" -- 3/29/09

Amazing Race 14

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


The teams travel from India to Thailand on the seventh leg of the race. Once there, they pose with a tiger and receive foot massages from an elephant. The region's extreme heat causes one racer to collapse at the pit stop. Phil Keoghan is the host.



Looking forward to seeing Thailand again. I was born there and lived there for 1 year back in the 80's and it's a favorite and very inexpensive vacation spot for me. The heat is without a doubt really bad there.

As Red Dog would normally say....."Pad Pad Pad"

Oklahoma vs UNC starts at approximately 5:05pm ET for you East Coast viewers and very much could run long. The game will cause CBS programs to start at least 30 minutes late tonight.

FYI, college hoops just ended their coverage. If you padded 15-30 mins, you should be good for tonight.

My favorite line was when Mel asked if they could stop for a Thai massage since they were lost anyway

Sorry to see Mel and Mike go. There have only been small handful of teams in the history of the race that have had as good an attitude about the race as they had.

I prefer the nickname mini-men to the tweedles. I'm actually surprised they got docked for the gamesmanship. The cab escort was part of the clue, but they just put the pumps back in the box. Given their huge lead you have to wonder if having flattened tires hurt the other teams times.

Good ep with solid challenges and penalties, although I'm not sure what was wrong asking a cabbie to drive in front of you. Was there something in the clue that said that was a no-no?

Yeah, I didn't get that penalty at all.

The clue said that you couldn't hire somebody to guide you there. They didn't come out and say it directly, but I caught a couple teams saying it offhandedly.

Can't stand the ho-bag cheerleaders. Obviously they're being setup somewhat by the producers, but the things they say don't help their cause.

Yikes on the mom nearly passing out at the pitstop. Nice of Phil to help out there, but he should probably have had her sit down when they reached the stop, even before telling them their place.

Wow, that Thai woman at the end was hotter than hot. Though I wonder what she looks like without all that makeup. Anyone have a screen cap of her?

Victor told his cab driver that they couldn't help him.
So clearly he read something in the rules that made him say that.

They had a massive lead the tweedles.

Sorry to see Mel and Mike go, great attitude.

I was appreciative of more camera time for Jaime, though she's a bit mean and a ballbuster.

I was shocked they got docked for gamesmanship - this is a competition isn't it? Is there something that says they can't do what they did. It was evil but also a very good idea and in a similar situation I'm sure I'd wish I'd thought of it.

Dear god that Sneeze was hilarious yet annoying as hell. I couldnt stop laughing!

Glad the bros are still in and I despise those **** cheerleaders.

13.

Other than Mike and Mel truly having to do the fishing barrels because running the rickshaw would soley be on Mike's shoulders, I was surprised the athletic sisters decided to do that challenge.

Jaime (or should I say Debra Messing with a great pair of knockers) is really becoming irritating.
