"TOUCH, TUCK AND ROLL," OR "WHERE'S MAMMA ROSE?": Oh, for one shining moment I thought we had the return of Colin & Christie, just ridiculously large airport-based lead combined with an anticipated hours-of-operation in Romania -- really, who runs an all-night gymnastics facility? -- but for once I think we can attribute what happened to something other than producer intervention.
By this point, when [that team] made [that airport choice], you knew how the episode was going to end -- really, the worst such decision since the Groanies decided the best way from Brazil to South Africa was via NYC and London -- so the fun this week was just in seeing the first effects of Killer Race Fatigue, especially on a team that I think a lot of us wanted to see put under such stress. A pretty well-designed leg overall, other than the awkwardness about the exploitation of the nomadic life of the Romani people, but, hey, no worse or weirder than some of the tasks in India or Africa, really.
Teeny-tiny Race update: Fox Reality has been re-airing Season Nine (Fun-Loving Hippies v. Eric & Jeremy), and I am delighted to share some Googling results it prompted: beloved dating/nerds David and Lori, as of October 2008, are now married/nerds. Woot, woot.
