Amazing Race Thursday

Thursday 14 June 2012 - The Amazing Race Episode 3 was on Thursday this week, so as not to compete with State of Origin on Wednesday night. Hopefully Channel 7 won't do the swapping nights thing they like to do when shows aren't rating or for whatever reason they do it.
Tonight they started by doing a driving test in Jaipur, India. Heh. 


Interesting moments:

• Sticky with half an arm missing does his team's test - the driving instructor's face was funny, changing from shocked and a bit scared, to respect at his ability. 
• The hippie ladies - Teresa spraying the aura cleanser while Sue tries to drive, getting annoyed
• Paul the conceited idiot, getting ready to drag race Kym & Donna - and stalls his car. Funny.
• Botox Sarah doesn't seem like a very nice person, and is kind of scary to look at. Of course princess has only driven an automatic previously. James her boyfriend: "She doesn't have the best driving skills, according to her insurance company". When she was stressing while driving, she said botox made her look "quite thrilled and happy and..." James: “Surprised” – I'm liking James the boyfriend’s dry humour. It's obviously how he copes with her. 
• Grace & Joseph - she is a bit irritating, I think she tries the dumb act on a bit: "How good do I look, driving a manual?" A random thing to say to your brother. Also: "I don't really like to use my brain". Urgh.

Then they had to load up clay pots on a trailer thingy and get a big bull to tow it without losing/breaking more than 15 pots. 
Donna & Kym thought Paul backed into their pots and knocked some off with his backpack - I actually don't think he did back into their pots, I think they drove a bit too close to him. Anyway, now there's animosity, Kym said he & Donna are the worst team to cross - grudgeholders for sure. Keeps it interesting. 


Poor old Sticky & Sam, did so well all the way through and then got to the pit stop, and the tuktuk driver wanted more money paid than what they had. They had to beg from other people, then were so relieved when they got the extra money, they hugged the driver - even after he ripped them off! They are nice guys and deserved to come first.
2 - Ross & Tarryn Father/daughter team
3 - Michelle & Jo - twins
4 - Kym & Donna who narrowly beat
5 - Paul & Steve - sucked in Paul - "I'm an accountant for a living so I should be good with numbers"... finished the stair counting challenge first go "but that's got to be expected of me" - gracious guy. Urgh again.
6 - Shane & Andrew the cops
7 - Joseph & Grace
8 - James & Sarah
9 - Lucy & Amelia the Italian sisters
10 - Sue & Teresa the hippies - goneski. Teresa said they were now "bonded for life" - I don't think Sue agreed; she seemed to be getting a bit irritated by the other chicky a few times.
