The Amazing Race - Season 8, Episode 7
Oh, goody. We get to spend two hours with these people tonight instead of the usual one. The teams jet back to the United States (specifically Arizona) to take in some desert scenery. The Weavers would still like you to know that they don't need friends on the race, then proceed to spend the rest of the episode whining about how they don't have friends. They pat themselves on the backs for being great competitors, then harangue DJ Paolo about Yielding them, which is...part of the competition. They claim to live decent, Christian lives, then try to coerce locals into impeding other teams and throw garbage out of their car window at the Pink Ladies. Why won't they go away?
The first hour ends with the Pink Ladies in first, and the Paolos narrowly edging out the Bransens, who come in last. The Paolos do, however, show some charity, and remind the Bransens to put on all their clothes before checking in. Good call, since this is a non-elimination point. In the second hour, the Pink Ladies again come in first. Those poor Linzes. This time the Bransens edge out the Paolos, who are sent packing. When you're sort of disappointed to see the Paolos go because it means the Weavers are still around, you know something's wrong with the universe.
Oh, and along the way, there are some fairly cool tasks such as doing a 360-degree roll in a plane and some fairly lame tasks, such as finding clearly visible clue boxes with a compass. The best news, however, is that my VCR cut off the second hour, so I can't go back and watch it again, which means that I can guiltlessly stop writing about this crap-ass season. Go me!
Overall Grade: C
