"TAR5 Not So Move of the Week: Episode 8" |
Let's just get on with the choices, shall we?1. Colin/Christie grab a taxi, which ends up getting a flat tire. The driver has to borrow a spare from Kami/Karli's taxi because he doesn't have one. They end up on the second charter flight to Nairobi. 2. Linda/Karen also have taxi troubles when theirs rouns out of oil. The driver has to call for another taxi. They end up on the last charter flight to Nairobi. 3. At the airport, Colin/Christie refuse to pay the driver $100 because they got a flat tire and were passed by two other teams. The driver won't leave until he gets his money. Colin gets very angry with him and almost gets thrown in jail. He finally does pay the $100. 4. Kami/Karli miss a flag at the Off Plane detour. They turn around and end up following Brandon/Nicole to the clue box. They get the second spot and end up last at the pitstop. They lose all their money. 5. Chip/Kim and Linda/Karen both choose the Off Road detour, but they both get stuck in the sand. They finish 3rd and 4th respectively.

As long as you're not last, I don't think it matters too much. I think they were redundant in following B/N as they know B/N are just as fast as they are, and they basically know they would have to wait 45 minutes for the second plane.

They end >up on the second charter >flight to Nairobi. To me, the bigger Not-So-Move was Kami and Karli allowing their taxi driver to stop to help out C/C's taxi and giving over the spare tire. You're in a race, don't stop to help out other teams especially when there's only five teams left! It wasn't C/C's fault the taxi had a flat tire, so wasn't so much a bad move for them but more of a bad luck situation. >2. Linda/Karen also have taxi troubles >when theirs rouns out of >oil.

Again a situation that had bad luck, not a bad move. >3. At the airport, Colin/Christie refuse >to pay the driver $100 >because they got a flat >tire and were passed by >two other teams. The >driver won't leave until he >gets his money. Colin >gets very angry with him >and almost gets thrown in >jail. He finally does >pay the $100.
Definitely a BAD move... but didn't cost them the game as they still made it back in time for their flight -- but a potentially damaging one if the cops had any guts and threw him into jail for dressing them down and not showing proper respect for the authorities. They could have said "You know what? You need a cooling off period. Why don't you take a seat for 12 hours behind bars?" The U.S. embassy would have been all over their arses for this, though. >4. Kami/Karli miss a flag at >the Off Plane detour. >They turn around and end >up following Brandon/Nicole to the >clue box. They get >the second spot and end >up last at the pitstop. > They lose all their money.
Ding, ding, we have a winner. Didn't one of the twins say she saw the flag? Why didn't they just turn right away instead of keeping on driving around like a headless chicken? >5. Chip/Kim and Linda/Karen both choose >the Off Road detour, but >they both get stuck in >the sand. They finish >3rd and 4th respectively.
More a bad luck situation. Didn't hurt them in the end, even if they barely edged out the twins.

Keep in mind that Chip and Kim also have no money. But Chip and Kim will get money at the beginning of the next leg.

No question that this put them in last place. It's so funny that the twins want to slow down and think things through, but how much do you have to think through two flags bracketing a gate into an airport?

All right, someone needs to be different. Yes, the twins are in last place ... but they were not eliminated. Colin made a total donkey of himself over $50! It would have been interesting to see what Colin would have done if he had only 5 minutes (vs. hours) to negotiate with the Cabbie.

If he had 5 minutes, he would have caved w/in the 5 minutes. He was arguing for as long as he did b/c his plane didn't leave for hours.

#4. They could have been second and still had all that cash. They could be at such a disadvantage that they are eliminated next because of it.

Cannot blame Colin because all the teams let him do whatever he wants.The twins could have been nice and let him call another cab. What happens if the twins had had a flat tire after giving colin their spare? Sorry but how many freakin red and yellow flags do you see in the middle of the desert? Um, chances are this is Amazing race flag. If the twins turn to prostitution I hope the editors don't cut too much out....It will be interesting becasue although men in dubai like young american girls, they usually will not give them too much, rather than expect a lot.

Now as a summary writer myself for another board (okay a soap opera board who let me get away with murder) I thoroughly enjoyed your rant uh, take on this week's episode. For some reason, I missed part of (must've fallen asleep at the wheel again..sorry Linda)but your summary painted a pretty clear picture. Love your nicknames for St. Chipper (and how do we know that Kim is really in this race anyway?) and The Blonde n The Nutcase (you guess) as well as for the most hated character on the planet as you can tell by my nickname. Oh Oh how I hated that he was even a little bit right about the tires! Of course Miss Confused couldn't get a word in edgeways...she's obeying her Master and right after the race is over..she's POOF!..going back in the bottle. Now even Major Nelson wasn't like this but then again he did morph into Old J. R. didn't he? Oh how I miss Will n Tara!!! Hey, just had an idea! Now that Donny has gotten smart n dumped Allison, hopefully Crazy will dump Confused and hook up with her. NAH!!! Let's see, who's left (Crazy n Confused, The Blonde n The Nutcase, St. Chipper n what's her name..hmm oh yea now I know THE TWINS!!!!) I think Adria n Natalie picked the wrong show n should've gone on this one or traded plces with Kami n Karli n Ole Marvin would've kicked them out a long time ago (they're gonna charm the natives huh) Phil's gonna be peeing in his pants laughing so now I guess you know who I'm pulling for: if only Karen would suck it up n pick up the slack for her partner...GO BOWLING MOMS!!

22. "Three -- duh!" |
1. Colin/Christie grab a taxi, which ends up getting a flat tire. The driver has to borrow a spare from Kami/Karli's taxi because he doesn't have one. They end up on the second charter flight to Nairobi. Just a portent of things to come. Really, how many of us bother to check the tires before grabbing a taxi?2. Linda/Karen also have taxi troubles when theirs runs out of oil. The driver has to call for another taxi. They end up on the last charter flight to Nairobi. See #1 reply. Good thing the Moms ditched those unlucky Bowling Moms shirts (see INSIDER)3. At the airport, Colin/Christie refuse to pay the driver $100 because they got a flat tire and were passed by two other teams. The driver won't leave until he gets his money. Colin gets very angry with him and almost gets thrown in jail. He finally does pay the $100. Pick your adjective: Colin the (Vice President Cheney's first name); Colin the (terminus of gastrol-intestional tract); Colin the Ugly American; Colin the Jerk; Colin the Clueless; Colin the Should-Have-Been-Tanzanian-Jail-Bird.4. Kami/Karli miss a flag at the Off Plane detour. They turn around and end up following Brandon/Nicole to the clue box. They get the second spot and end up last at the pitstop. They lose all their money. What? K&K making a bone-head (bones-heads?) move? Biggest surprise since hearing Phil-baby say "a detour is a choice between two tasks, ..."5. Chip/Kim and Linda/Karen both choose the Off Road detour, but they both get stuck in the sand. They finish 3rd and 4th respectively. But neither of them broke their cars. A.S.S.
