Welcome to Pure Amazing Race

Just a brief recap and some thoughts about the show this week:

I know everyone makes stupid mistakes, especially under pressure, but Kelly & Christy really took the cake last night. They mis-read the clue two times in a row! And forgot what they just read about the clue (tell the taxi to stay), causing them an even further delay. They were extremely lucky they didn’t get eliminated.

Sarah needs to break up with Terence the second they get done the race. And Terence needs to get years and years of therapy before thinking about engaging in another relationship. This man is toxic! On the bright side, at least he allowed Kelly & Christy to get one thing right - they both thought Sarah shouldn’t be putting up with his crap.

I’m really hating…

- Nick. First his snotty comment to Starr when she was cheering him on and then the underhanded way he left Andrew at the wall rubbed me the wrong way.

- Team Hot Pink Velour Tracksuit. These girls are so dumb it’s not even comical - just downright painful to watch.

- Terence. I’m convinced Sarah is a saint.

I’m really enjoying…

- the classiness of the mother and son team - Toni & Dallas

- the honesty and self-awareness of the geeks - Mark & Bill

- the edit Team Hot Pink Velour Tracksuit is getting. Their stupidity is grating on the producer’s nerves, too, and it’s apparent!

Tina & Ken ran a good race last night and we didn’t have to hear about her Tammy Wynette-ness, but there’s still something about her that irks me. I can’t decide if the eyebrows or the never-ending stream of chatter that spews forth from her mouth is worse. And I’m scratching my head over the fact that Ken chose to stay with her as opposed to the other woman. Scared to think what she was like!

Aja & Ty are still in my neutral zone. I don’t have strong feelings one way or the other about them.

And Anthony & Stephanie will hardly be missed. They deserved to go home after nary an exertion from the pair of them.

Here’s the order the teams finished:

1 - Ken & Tina
2 - Mark & Bill
3 - Terence & Sarah
4 - Aja & Ty
5 - Toni & Dallas
6 - Nick & Starr
7 - Kelly & Christy
8 - Andrews & Dan
9 - Marisa & Brooke
10 - Anthony & Stephanie (eliminated)

Next week I predict the Blonde Bimbos will be going home.
