Bebo! Many thanks for your post. Love your style of segmenting the lineage… please forgive my responding in like, but just to keep things clear;
I believe the biggie question here isn't so much why you had to write a summary for a NE leg but rather why it was so obvious that this was a NE leg in the production. I found this self evident after some 20 minutes and at any point was expecting the camera man in the car to say to cry out: "DUDES! No one dies today."… under his breath… “man to think I turned down an 8 week shoot on “Revival; Those Incredible Animals” for this.
Clowns – Clawounz; Ah poor Yorick, (and Yoruck), I knew thee well. Their goodness almost pre-disposes them as dead… I swear I heard a background melancholy chanting of Bruce Springsteen’s ‘The River’ as they headed toward the detour.
What I don’t get is these guys are clowns! EXCUSE ME! Clowns. BOO! If they need to rise some fear in the opponents… well you know they’re clowns, (I can’t go on…). Besides, give the Dudes some props! They got into a taxi with clowns! Who knows how many clowns were actually in that car. There might have been hundreds! Small ones! Big ones! Clowns with big red noses and white powdered faces, the kind of faces that in the middle of the night when your intimate with Mr. Woozy…
…but I disgress.
Clowns? Won’t make it because they don’t know when to say, ‘it’s show time’. Kind of ironic?
Chip & Dale:
Excuse me if I say what you are too nice to avoid. Reichen cried on his wedding day with the knowledge that he had experienced a certain taste for the last time in his life… suddenly everything returned in a terrible flash in Korea. One can only imagine the extra discomfort as Chip passed small shot glasses to his life mate stating such pejoratives as; ‘remember when you cheated on me with Raphael… well drink up.”
Guilt is a powerful motivator.
Actually I thought Chip and Dale did a good job this week. I haven’t liked the boys, (no not for that reason… I voluntarily catered, at my expense, a Lesbian shower last year), but I’m starting to root for them a bit.
Oh and yes Bebo.. lots of seafood. No oysters though… I figured with 30 dykes, 10 butch and 20 lipstick being the only male there could go any way and why tempt their Gods.
David and Jeff:
Personally I was pleased to the boys actually place for a change. If ever two people played the perennial Abbot and Costello being chased by the Wolfman, Frankenstein and Dracula and then backing into the swinging wall only to find themselves in front the Pit Stop it is these boys.
“Dude”
“Dude?”
“Where are we going Dude?”
“I don’t know Dude?”
”Hey Dude, who’s driving Dude?”
“Dude is that Dude with the camera Dude.”
“Dude he can’t drive Dude he’s the Dude camera Dude, Dude.”
“Dude is he the Dude camera Dude or is he… hey Dude we’re at the Pit Stop. Kewl”.
“Dude they’re chasing after him trying to sedate him Dude… Dude.”
“I guess we made him freak Dude.”
“Yeah Dude. But at least he drove us directly to the secret Pit Stop Dude. No detour for us Dude.”
“Cool thing Dude because like we’re still in America Dude.”
“Dude”
“Dude!”
“Dude.”
“Dude?”
“Have we left the U.S. yet?”
”DUDE!”
Well you get the idea.
Beauty and The Beast;
Personally I disagree with your thoughts on their detour. While I know that Jon attempted to anger Kelly into breaking the boards and I am still convinced that Kelly annoyed the boards to death.
“You stupid ass boards! That’s it… I working with asshole boards… they can’t even break.”
Even inanimate objects have a limit… luckily for Kelly, Jon does not.
To quote your ‘best of Kelly’;
>- “I hope you get eliminated just to prove assholes don’t finish first.” Um, who wants
>to explain who else gets eliminated if Jon does?
Isn’t this the parallax of this behaviour type? The worst player on the team who somehow believes that they can win it all without even playing, let alone finishing?
She complains about how they’re going to lose because of Jon’s decision to stay in the cab? Excuse me Lemming but I’m going with the odds… EVERY time you suggest something it fails, I’ll just go with the odds and hope that if I’m wrong we wind up in a chemically altered rat compound where they have a taste for red haired skanks.
I’m always amazed, (male or female), how those who rebut those who take responsibility for the choice always seem to find a way to say, “okay we did your choice every time even though I disagreed, yes every time you were right… but when are you going to respect my decisions!”
WOO-HAH!
I would love to hear from anyone else who was “SO SURE THAT IF THEY WERE WRONG THEY COULD EAT A SQUID” that this was a non elimination round.
Not to mention that it seemed this week that they were going for the most boring show ever!
