Racing to get away

Amazing Race was on tonight, Marseilles to Amsterdam.

Millie and Chuck, they of dating 12 years and still virgins fame, were at each others throats for quite a while. Millie said that there is no denying that there are compatibility issues between them. Hello??? 12 years and they still haven't figured this out *shakes her head* Baffles my mind. Somehow they managed to get in first place for this leg of the race and as a result won a 7-day cruise with Royal Caribbean. Dang it all. They took the Fast Forward challenge to gain some ground -- today's challenge was being strapped to the fin/propeller-blade thingies of a windmill and going for a "ride" around 10 times. I would've so done that, too.

One of the other challenges the other racers had to face was collecting 25 eels into a bin for the local fishermen. I forgot who said it, but it cracked me up. When asked what the eel felt like he responded "like a slippery penis."

I would've paid good money to have heard Chuck say that to Millie, but alas they were not the team involved with that witty exchange.

And in other reality tv news: If the referrals to my blog are any indication as to who the favorites are in Fame, Harlemm and Jamisen are going to make it big. You've got great taste, good people!
