Episdoe 4 thoughts:I was very happy with the bunching in this episode. It's the first time I can remember where all the teams were virtually dead even and I loved the mad dash to the finish line. Glad that CBS didn't disappoint with the "ending you won't believe" bit, unlike what Survivor did with last week's episode and the whole attacked by a sea creature thing...barely an impact.
Anyway, bunching is good once in a while, and we got some real competing with it this episode, though I can't figure out why JVJ still can't push their way up! I love this team and I hope they make a move pretty soon.
I won't bother to comment on Eve's non-stick driving and thier stupidity over walk vs. take a cab...I think most of you have said all that needs to be said on that. But Eve making team Firecop help with the wine crates before she would move the car was sneaky and just made me dislike her even more. Heather I was actually starting to like a little but Eve needed to go.
Flo is starting to irk me, and am I the only one who detects absolutely no romantic chemistry between her and Zach? Maybe we just aren't seeing it, but they seem more like brother/sister than will they/won't they.
Surpised none of the lagging teams went for the FF right out the gates. I'm glad though, because of, again, the good bunching. I loved the Roadblock this episode...mainly because of the Portuguese soccer players...*ahem*...We're seeing more of Mike and Kathy, which is good, because I'm starting to like them now. I'm glad they weren't bitching at each other when they thought they were last and Michael even offered to carry her bag. Good man. (incidentally, what do they do, ask for the most inept cab drivers they can find?)
Everyone in the brother hating alliance needs to get their priorities straight. Hopefully AA will be somewhat humbled by their near elimination.
Ok, I know I'm going long, but, if you'll indulge...a few random thoughts from a gay boy:
I adore Ken and Gerard. I hope my brother and I are that close in 10 years.
Phil's Portuguese sailor co-greeter: yum-E!
John Vito looked totally hot last night. I think it was the baseball shirt. Aaron said it best...JV is a big hulk of meat!
Anyone catch Derek to Drew (or vice versa) about the wine barrel rolling? "You really man-handled that thing!" Last week the thing about making better use of the pole and now this? Gotta love the homo-erotic twins.
Finally, next week promises fun with diesel. I suppose it's too much to hope for that this will involve John Vito taking on the FF in which he has to pin down Vin Diesel three times in a nude oil-wrestling match...what? The stuff you put in your car? DAMN!!!
