The Amazing Race Heats Up in Thailand
Jaime (pictured above on the left) showed us her ugly side when she became extremely impatient while a little shopkeeper opened each door of the herb shop where the clues were hidden.
On The Amazing Race, the 6 remaining teams flew over 2,000 miles to Thailand for their next leg of the race. First they had to find a gorilla statue at the Phuket Zoo. Taxi drivers (again) made this part difficult for one of the teams. Mel and Mike’s driver took them in the opposite direction causing them to be in last place for the rest of the show.
After they found their clue in the mouth of the gorilla, they all had to have their picture taken with Esso the tiger. I’m sure it wasn’t too reassuring when they spotted the tiger handler had 1 arm missing. Then they all had to get “stomped and sat on” by an elephant.
The heat was too much for Margie as she collapsed on the mat after running and pulling a rickshaw down the streets of Phuket. Tammy and Victor won this leg of the race by default because brothers Mark and Michael incurred two 30 minute penalties pushing them to third. They tampered with the tire pumps and then let a taxi driver lead them to the next leg. See? Poor reading comprehension will get you on The Amazing Race.
Mike and Mel are out but were a great team to watch
Order of Finish:
1. Tammy & Victor
2. Jaime & Cara
3. Mark & Michael
4. Margie & Luke
5. Kisha & Jen
6. Mel & Mike
Really now,Jaime certainly was quite demanding and obnoxious…the poor Thai herbalist didn’t know what to make of this extremely brash American…geez,why was she ordering him around anyway? And of course, seeing the tiger at the Phukett Zoo (what a beautiful animal) with the one-armed keeper of the tiger was sobering.
I think one of sibling teams is going to win…like last season. I guess we’ll see.
Hey, Mycka, can you make your next post on Celebrity Apprentice?
We HAVE to talk about Dennis Rodman!
