15. "RE: Episode #3 Messy Business" |
Well said Michel! I noticed the same things you did which unfortunately doesn’t leave much room for discussion! Here are my thoughts.There wasn’t a lot of movement among the racers except for Godwin and Erwin. I was sorry to see Duke and Lauren eliminated. I enjoyed watching them. The recap once again referred to Peter and Sarah (they couldn’t control the beast) and David and Mary (her twisted ankle). Interestingly, in the last two episodes, those are the only two teams named in the recap. They have been singled out three times (in the second episode they were also mentioned right before the teams left the pit stop). We are supposed to focus on their stories (but they won’t win!) 1) Erwin and Godwin had a terrific leg. However, the vibe I’m getting from them is different from that of Tyler and James and Dustin and Kandice. They are not as competitive. One brother has done all the roadblocks which is not great strategy. They are doing things their own way (they took a moment of silence at the Hanoi Hilton) but their story is shaping up to be more about their experience and friendships. 2) Tyler and James were consistent. They are happy with the way they are racing and they aren’t fighting. Have you noticed that James has an evil laugh?! 3) Rob and Kim fought as usual but had a strong finish. 4) Kandice and Dustin also had another strong leg. Once again Tyler and James commented on their racing strategy as “they always take the edge” which I don’t think is a bad thing. 5) Peter and Sarah finished well even though they were delayed on the wrong bus. When they set out from Mongolia, their confessional again refers to her blown out hydraulic knee. I went and watched a few segments from the first show and the hitch in her gait is becoming more of a limp. Peter was calm this leg, but the previews show that he wants to quit another task. Sarah is the one who wants to keep on moving. I admire her strength. The visual of Peter walking along rahrahing about “great teamwork” as Sarah crawled along behind him through the rice paddies was priceless! Even though Sarah is the handicapped one, I think Peter is being set up to take the fall for this team. 6) We saw a nicer side Lyn and Karlyn this week. They had two great quotes. The first one was comparing the race to childbirth – painful! I laughed when I heard their analogy but the comment fits their story. The second one was when they were walking to the bus station, “we’ll follow them to hell, I guess.” The race is starting to take a toll on them. 7) David and Mary are hanging in there, but Mary’s ankle could cause problems. She will soldier on as long as she can, “I didn’t leave my kids for nuthin”. They are better racers than I expected. They had a lot of face time but David was the only one with strong emotions regarding the Vietnam War who could comment on it. 8) Another careless error by Tom and Terry and they could be gone. I can’t believe they’ll last much longer, because their story hasn’t been developed, but maybe there isn’t much to tell. I was wondering if the back bus alliance would have formed if the Race followed its usual course of visiting South America and Europe first. The racers were thrown into cultures that were vastly different from ours (and with different alphabets which makes navigating harder). It may have caused them to bond more quickly. When they were searching for the fuel detour, the racers were working together to find it. There is a stronger camaraderie among all the racers this time. This could be another one of the “surprises” of this race, and will it affect the outcome?
