Kevin disappointed me on multiple fronts. Not paying attention to the clue. TWICE. He wasn't as supportive as he has been in the past while his dad doing the bowling thing. But the capper for me was when they didn't have enough to pay the Taxi driver and he was all "but this is a race. We are in last place. Take 1/3 of what we owe you and let us go." Entitled much?
The clowning task would have broken me. I can't see me being able to spin plates OR play the accordion.
If there was a speed bump, I sure missed it. Which bugs. It is a rule right? How do you skip over it without comment?
Maybe the Speed Bump was so awesomely lame ("Watch paint dry for two minutes") that they were ashamed to show it?
I guess Kevin was well into Killer Fatigue territory on this leg.
I thought it was notable that both of the teams who misread their clues had run out of cab money by the pit stop. The producers had obviously given them enough only for the cabs they should have taken.
Jessica - I thought exactly the same thing.
That's interesting, about the possible misjudging. I do wish they'd addressed it in the broadcast though, rather than just letting all of us assume that CBS has decided to let its producers drink heavily on the job.
Even a five-second paragraph on the screen that summarized the situation would have been enough.
On the plus side, there were real Clues the teams had to figure out, AND the balance plates or play accordion challenge was sufficiently tricky. (And how do you like the one couple that tried the accordions and gave up, saying that NO ONE could get it, despite the fact that a bunch of teams had already done it... sigh.)
I'm watching last night's
Next Iron Chef.
What were they thinking trying to make a pièce montée in two hours? Also, what was up with complaining about the crunchiness of the caramel? It's right there in the name, croquenbouche literally means "crunch in the mouth."
No comments on The Fashion Show. Iman was FABULOUS. I loved her at the end "you can stay." Like granting a pardon. And of course "Tomato, tomahto, it was yellow!"
I missed it! I am taping it this afternoon and will watch it later. I love me some Iman.
