Amazing Race Week 2

After the first episode that was two hours, last nights episode seemed like thirty minutes. Let me back up for a second. Last night's taco dinner at Rosa's was awesome (even of they did jack up the price to $3.33). Went with Maisy, Mairead, Nolan, and Steph, we had a great time. I hope this becomes a more regular thing. We already have plans to go again in two weeks. We'd go next week, but we are going to be in Albuquerque then.

Anyway, back to the race. I've decided I don't like Ray and Yolanda. They think they need to be in first place every second of the race to win. This ain't Nascar. You don't get no 5 point bonus for most laps led. Although, the trip to Tahiti looked pretty nice.

The directions on the card for the roadblock must have been difficult to understand, at least for non-hippies. Maybe it was written on Hemp paper. You have to wait on people to rappel down the building, just go to the next stairs! The only thing worse than their reading comprehension was Team Rack sending up the girl afraid of heights. However, it was exaggerated much like gay John's fear of flying.

Next task was the detour. It seems there are two kinds of detours, ones that are easy and takes lots of time, and ones that are hard and take a short amount of time. Example A: Last week flying a helicopter took almost no effort, but lots of time. Example B: Putting together a motorcycle with a box 'o parts, difficult, but if you know how, it can be a big time saver. Example A again: Crank out some gas from sugar cane, not hard to do, just takes some time. B: Climb up the waterfall cliff. Physically tough, but shorter amount of time. Both weeks the old idiots chose the wrong one. Last week they chose the motorcycle...not a sodoku puzzle, it's mechanically difficult! Still the idiot woman accountant thinks she will be able to put it together. Ha! This week they chose the waterfall. Are they really that stupid?! Unfortunately, it pays off for them anyway. Mostly because the Glamazons are the worst racers since Meredith & Gretchen. Next week, idiots, you are screwed! You are now the group who everyone else can beat, even of they screw around all day messing everything up.

The Hippies came in first and won the trip to Tahiti, good for them! They trust the locals to help, and it pays off. I would have liked to see the race between them and the frat boys, but I'm sure that will come soon enough. The dorks didn't kiss all episode, and they move up the like-ability chart because of it.
