The Amazing Race – Season 9 – Episode 11
THIS WEEK – 1st
LAST WEEK – 4th, arrived at 1:22pm
Hippies (BJ and Tyler) – “We’ve made a date with elimination, and been stood up.” Yes, Tyler, and two times at that! It was a wild ride, from the oddest start I’ve ever seen with BJ in only undies and no shoes, to a first place finish after eating humongous bowls of fried grasshoppers and crickets at the fast forward. “Dude, you’ve got a little cricket on your face!” Karma beats Mojo in the end. Hippies ROCK! ‘Nuff said.
THIS WEEK – 2nd
LAST WEEK – 2nd, arrived at 1:20pm
The Sickening Frat Boys (Eric and Jeremy) – So, we’re down to the end and the Frat boys have only become stronger. I’m a bit worried that very soon there is going to be a million dollars blown on hookers and beer. Sigh. I was *really* hoping for a rabid monkey attack this episode. Okay, okay, they did give BJ on the Hippy team a pair of sandals at the beginning of the race, so maybe wishing for rabid monkeys isn’t too nice. How about a monkey attack without rabies? Phil could have been standing by on the sidelines with tranquilizer darts and then *accidentally* missed with both shots and hit these two monkeys instead. Yeah, that would have been pretty cool too.
THIS WEEK – 3rd
LAST WEEK – 1st, arrived at 1:13pm
Ray and Yolanda – These two have picked up a lot of momentum – but is it enough to carry them all the way? They did arrive first last week, but after seeing the departure times this week, it was only by 7 minutes and this week they narrowly avoided elimination! With the final race for the million, the pressure is really on and they need to count on the other two teams making more mistakes than they do next week. If they can stay cool and let the Frats and Hippies duke it out, they might just have a chance. Last but not least, best sportsmanship award in a tight race goes to Yolanda for giving BJ her purple pants.
THIS WEEK – 4th – ELIMINATED
LAST WEEK – 3rd, arrived at 1:21pm
Mo Jo (Joseph and Monica) – I least I’ve grown to “love to hate” the Frats. These two, I’m glad to see go. If only it could have been earlier, like the first time they started talking and we got to see what an insepid Barbie doll and verbally abusive Ken doll they turned out to be. Wherever they end up living, I hope tie-dyed hippies move in on either side of their house. TTOW! 😉
It’s funny how you think you know someone… We sat side-by-side and watched this and I had no idea that you had visions of rabid monkeys dancing in your head.
Anyway, I was waiting for one of the frats to flirt with the monkeys, “Hey baby, want to come and see my golden gnome?” Rrrrr.
