The Amazing Race This is Where It Ends S18E11-12 (CBS)

It was somewhat of a disappointment that the final task was so easy. Usually, the final task is a gigantic puzzle of some kind, that breaks down the contestants. This time around, it involved decorating a miniature trailer. Zev/Justin paid dearly for being so hairy in Brazil. It was funny to watch them getting waxed, but painful at the same time. I feel ambivalent about the winners of the race, Kisha/Jen. At least they deserve it more than the Globetrotters.

I don’t know who Vyxsin was kidding, but her partner Kent is one of the worst ones around. He doesn’t pull his own weight, gets extremely flustered, and has a low stamina. Vyxsin does most of the heavy lifting in this team. Also, I don’t understand why that girl looked like a clown in her final VT. The makeup was caked on so thick, that it was frightening. Needless to say that it’s good to see them gone. I wonder who will win this edition of  The Amazing Race.

The goths have a few tiffs but still manage to stave off elimination. Once again, the cowboys are in the rear of the pack. A few more times of this and they’ll end up going home. All of the teams who chose to eat schnitzel end up having to do the other detour again. That was kind of surprising, but I would have bet the the Harlem Globetrotters could have eaten that, especially Big Easy.

The Amazing Race You Don’t Get Paid Unless You Win S18E07 (CBS)

Bumbling Ron finally lost a leg of the race for his team and he gets eliminated with his daughter. Serves him right for being an asshat at times. Impressively, the Harlem Globetrotters managed to get from last to first place in this leg of the race. There was more strangeness from the goths and Gary/Mallory had a fun time with manure.

Probably the most disturbing thing in this episode is a grown man crying like a 5-year old. I mean, come on. Sure, you have a disability, but that’s no excuse for behaving like a toddler. His mother must have mollycoddled him a bit too much. That much is obvious since he’s running the race with her. Luke was pathetic and he caused his team to be eliminated. Ah well, they’re trimming away the fat.

It’s funny how unhappy the teams were to see the goths on the train to Kunming. They haven’t made any friends, and Kent used the strategy to lie to the other teams about why they were so late. They did so because of the double U-Turn that was on this leg of the race. After it was used, by the goths on the cheerleaders, and by the cheerleaders on the basketball players, they came clean. I was surprised that Jaime couldn’t pull it together and eliminated her team from the race.

Ron is definitely annoying. He’s abusive at times and wastes a lot of time. He’s always stopping to get something to eat and it’s driving his daughter mad. That wasn’t the worst meltdown though, it was the goths who got totally lost in Tokyo. I found it amazing how long it took them to get to the airport. They had been driving all night and day and yet they still couldn’t find the airport. They didn’t even stop to ask directions. Anyway, no teams were eliminated and they are still racing at the end of this leg.

It was time to trim off some fat. Mel/Mike have been having trouble since the beginning of the race and now they face some unsurmountable tasks. They almost freeze to death in a mud pit and have to recuperate in an ambulance afterward. Jaime/Cara’s bitchiness and pushiness gets them a whole lot of problems. They get really lost and arrive last at the Roadblock. It looks like next week, Ron is going to have a meltdown.

The Amazing Race Unfinished Business I Never Looked So Foolish in My Whole Entire Life S18E02 (CBS)

It’s time for a ‘best of’ series of the Amazing Race. This time, a lot of teams from the most recent Amazing Race editions are racing once again. I’m happy to see Margie/Luke racing again, with some of the other players. I don’t really like Ron. He’s somewhat of an ass to his daughter Christina and he tried to do the same to Mallory, but she just let him eat her dust. Amanda/Kris didn’t manage to catch up, but they were close. It looks like next week, the cheerleaders will hit some dude in Japan.
