I wonder if Blair is the one trying to outrace Hayley's berate of him. :rimshot:

A return of the gross food challenge. -rolleyes-

Re: The Amazing Race (S26E04) -- "The Great Amazing Nasty Race" -- 3/13/15
Yuck! I wouldn't have been able to eat that egg. I don't know which two teams were more annoying this week Hayley and Blair or Jelani and Jenny. No new episodes until April 3rd due to March Madness.

Jonathan and Jordan never stood a chance after missing the first plane.

Re: The Amazing Race (S26E04) -- "The Great Amazing Nasty Race" -- 3/13/15
Yeah Laura definitely knows she looks like Amy Adams quoting Talladega Nights like that.
|
Re: The Amazing Race (S26E04) -- "The Great Amazing Nasty Race" -- 3/13/15
Kurt had much less trouble eating the thousand year old egg than he did eating the ramen noodles.
|
Re: The Amazing Race (S26E04) -- "The Great Amazing Nasty Race" -- 3/13/15
Hopefully, they'll go to the Grand Canyon and Hayley can 'accidentally' slip and fall in. :rolleyes:
See You Next Tuesday. |
Re: The Amazing Race (S26E04) -- "The Great Amazing Nasty Race" -- 3/13/15
Just out of curiosity, I looked up the process and history of the 1000 year old egg on Wikipedia.
The process was created as a means of preservation in the age before modern refrigeration. They have a strong odor of sulphur and ammonia, thus explaining why they would be hard to swallow. |
Re: The Amazing Race (S26E04) -- "The Great Amazing Nasty Race" -- 3/13/15
Blair's fake smile while Hayley is nagging him, while you can see murder in his eyes :lol:
Yeah, team New Kids was doomed ... from the combination of the timing of the first flight, needing to do the extra challenge, and the mandatory challenges not being particularly difficult. I have a question for more regular viewers: I'm not understanding the rules for how many teams can do one side of a detour. Last week they all ended up doing the tree zip-line waiter task. But this week the 6th team to arrive at the boats was told they had to go do the other one. Are there limits to how many teams can do one challenge? Or is it one of those things where sometimes there are and sometimes there aren't (one of those random reality tv things that the players have to accept and roll with). |

I'm Chinese so I've seen (but never tried) the 1000 year old egg before, or in this episode - the century old egg. I've seen them preserved in jars and it just looks nasty!
you guys were right, Hayley is annoying! haha Sucks to see the lawyers arguing, but at least they're still in the race. |

I thought that the egg would be no problem and that the stinky tofu would be abhorrent, but I was backwards in my assumption--the stinky tofu wasn't bad at all, but the egg was disgusting beyond belief. I'm bummed that we've got to wait three weeks until the next episode. |
Re: The Amazing Race (S26E04) -- "The Great Amazing Nasty Race" -- 3/13/15
Someone called it in a prior week, once the lawyers weren't in the lead, they started to turn on each other, especially the woman.

Or is it one of those things where sometimes there are and sometimes there aren't (one of those random reality tv things that the players have to accept and roll with). They were doing a detour: a choice is between 2 tasks each with pluses and minuses. Most people did the zip line waiter detour last week because the water ski looked very very difficult and all the teams that tried the water ski switched to the zipline. The teams left the water taxi this week probably because the producers wanted to show both sides of the task and limited it to 5 water taxis. Of course they could have waited for the 5 taxis to go and come back but that would have wasted a lot of time. It seems like the producers have been dropping the ball a little bit with very uneven detours. The sake one was infinitely easier than the robotic dancing one while the water ski one looked almost impossible and this week, the tuk-tuk and cat cafe seemed faster than the water taxi one with the long temple actions. Still it is entertaining to watch Hayley and Blair and Blair's reactions. I assume that is the reason TAR put them together. |

Re: The Amazing Race (S26E04) -- "The Great Amazing Nasty Race" -- 3/13/15
Really surprised they didn't do something to bunch the teams up after Harley & Johnathan were so far behind the last leg. They really didn't have a chance, it seems.
And I'm curious if the egg was 100 years old or 1000? The description for the episode says 1,000, but they called it the 'century egg' when asking about it. |
Re: The Amazing Race (S26E04) -- "The Great Amazing Nasty Race" -- 3/13/15
"Century Eggs" are usually weeks old, sometimes months.
|
Re: The Amazing Race (S26E04) -- "The Great Amazing Nasty Race" -- 3/13/15
I think they had century eggs on Survivor a long time ago (or was it Fear Factor?) for a food challenge.
They look fucking hideous, and I can't believe they can be consumed without the chump who eats it becoming violently ill. |
Re: The Amazing Race (S26E04) -- "The Great Amazing Nasty Race" -- 3/13/15
Survivor and Fear Factor had worse things like balut which looks absolutely gross.
I think the producers are looking for people who have fear of heights or cannot drive stick or can't eat weird foods or are afraid of cats! If you say you are fearless, adventure is your life, the producers might see you as too boring. |
Re: The Amazing Race (S26E04) -- "The Great Amazing Nasty Race" -- 3/13/15
Sorry to see New Kids go. Yikes! Hayley! I held the TV control and began muting every time she was on.

That making the grasshopper out of bamboo challenge looked difficult as hell. That should quiet some of the people stating these challenges aren't pre-determined. Hell, I remember other people having to endure a foot rub on one speed bump so the grasshopper challenge was definitely not the one to give if they wanted to put the New Kids back in the mix.
