"Gosh, that was dumb, Week 2"

Posted by Seana on 02-26-07 at 00:43 AM
A fair bit of stupidity this week. Let's talk about it.

1. Kevin and Drew: driving at 40 kph because they missed the sign that said 50 kph. How much time did they lose? And just why was Drew doing all the driving? He has the injuries and the need for meds and oxygen. Wouldn't Kevin have been the better choice? Perhaps they have some kind of arrangement about whose turn it is, but you'd think they could alter it in times of need.

2. Mary: sharing info with Charla at the Roadblock. They're not the strongest Racers. They came in last on 3 legs in their original Race. They would likely have been eliminated earlier if they hadn't gotten the FF, which was a gift from the Chos. They shouldn't be helping anyone. They should be worried about getting to the Pit Stop.

3. Charla and Mirna: freaking out on a local because he wanted money to go out of his way to help them. It *was* smart to ask the BQ's to pay up if they wanted help too, but oh. my. goodness, what the heck was that? Was it a good idea to hand over the purse and then go to leave without getting the info? No. Have a snit if you must, but stomp off *with* your money. Otherwise, they might have tried haggling a little. But then, everyone passed them in the time it took them to yell at the guy.

4. Teri and Ian: couldn't find the marked cars at the copper mine. They get a ride to the front gate and back again. How much time did they lose? Dumb.


What am I missing?

Did Mirna indeed leave without that purse or whatever? They later tried to get yet another cabbie to no avail.


Tribe strikes again!
You've been warned, so don't complain.

No, he handed the purse back because he didn't want it. Then she handed him $20 saying "here, I give you $20 to eat" and acted as if she gave him a million.

I'm pretty sure that it actually was worse.
I think she said; "Here I give you $20. I won't eat tomorrow.

Mirna= Queen of the Harpies

Eric and Danielle: Let's see, the roadblock is inside a corporate office building. It's very unlikely to be a physical task. So why send the athletic challenge-hound Eric into the boardroom instead of the less-athletically-gifted (and supposedly smarter) Danielle?

Teri and Ian: See above. Do you really want Teri scaling a cliff late in the race because Ian is out of roadblocks?

At least Uchenna and Joyce got it right, even if Joyce did take 2,432 years to figure out the puzzle.

Teri and Ian, part II: Read the clue before looking for the marked cars. (At least they realized their mistake and admitted it to us.) Older teams have to be smarter to stick around.

Final thought: What happened to the flat tire on Kevin and Drew's vehicle from the previous leg? They should have had to change the tire after receiving their clue in the morning.

They probably grabbed John Vito & Jill's vehicle, it wasn't being used anyway.

Apparently they did get a penalty.

My favorite? Whichever dummy said, "I can't drive a stick shift". Uh.. Hello?? You've been on this race already, not every car in every country is going to have cruise control & Onstar.... DOA!

That'd be Mirna.

Mirna did say that last week, but now that maryellen mentions it, I'm sure I heard someone say that again this week. Actually, that may be why Drew was driving...

I think that was at the Detour - either Kevin or Drew told them "if you can't drive a stick, you have to do 'hand'" or something like that. They were trying to decide which option to take - could you imagine Mirna driving a front-end loader? Run for the hills!

Might have been the Guidos now that I think about it. Someone anyway. And FWIW, they sounded irritated. I think the racers are already sick of them.

It was Kevin who can't drive a stick. The Guidos ran the front-end loader.
