CAMBODIA! They’re going to Cambodia!
So far, this is my dream race, destination-wise. Brazil, Bolivia, New Zealand, Cambodia, they’re all countries which I love. (And SPOILER! – India is next!)
My love for Toni and Dallas continues to grow inexplicably as I become terrifi every tie they fall out of the top 3 an elated whenever they move up again. They’re sweet and caring and running their own race, and Dallas is hot. Heh, so I’m happy! They finish in 2nd, which causes me to leap about excitedly.
Another team I actually like is Nick and Starr. I have this strong affiliation with the family teams, but tht may have something to do with how no family team has ever won the race. Is that correct? I keep getting myself all confused between seasons. Anyway, when they stop paying attention to other people they do really well, so I’ all for them. They finish first, after a lot of jumping around the order.
Next up is Terence and Sarah and he’s still pissing me off. You can tell he likes being in control, because he continuously tells her off for running off ahead of them, for reaching places first..and it drives me bonkers. Grrr…But they re strong players, even if their karmic boat manages to break down. And yes, I did squeal with glee at that moment.
They also caught themselves a speeding ticket in NZ – something which hasn’t been seen on the show for awhile – the comeuppance for not following the legal rules! They’ll get a penalty on the next leg….hee……which explains why they were on the mat with my favourite team? who knows?
She of the scary eyebrows continues to get along with her husband, and they continue to do well. I wonder how they’ll cope under pressure? Tha would be kind of cool to see.
The frat boys piss me off and I want them off my show. They’r epetulant, whiny little spoilt brats who are upset the world doesn’t revolved around their shiny asses.
The divorcees also grate occasionally. Having been to Cambodia, well, yes they do live in poverty, and it’s always good to see people acknowledge it…but that’s now what it’s all about. There is so much beauty between the lines, and it’s when the teams can’t see that, it makes me want to cry. Cambodia is such an amazingly beautiful country with so many wonderful people, I would simply love to go back and live there.
I knew from the very first heartfelt lovey-dovey camera piece Aja and Ty would go home, obviously never making up that deficit. Which is such a crying shame, because if the frat boys had been stuck with them, this lovely couple would have so whooped their asses. they have a cute little moment on the mat, and this long-distance couple who spent their entire time floting in the back f the pack finally fail to come up for air.
So, this epiode they land in Siem Reap, fill diesel tanks for jeeps, then head to the harbour and jump boats for a floating restaurant, in the middle of a floating village. For some reason, Cambodians like living on the water. There are so any leader changes her eit’s not funny, as the top 4 teams keep swooping past each other. Detour time – getting wet and muddy finding fish, which proves to be slightly quicker, or the good old hunting journey, going to 3 locations, picking up an object and taking it to the harbour. seriously easy tasks!
Next stop – Angkor Wat! Oh, the memories! And I think I saw y monkey on TV!
Here they roadblock, one person goes in and ries to find, what is effectively a chamber, beat their fists over their heart and pick up a stone tablet…which ended up being surprisingly tricky! But it was lvoely seeing the teple..and they got to stay at Bayon Temple overnight?I hope they realise jsut how lucky they are.
Next stop – oooh india! WEEEE!
