Amazing Race 7 - Leg 4

It's Tuesday and time for yet another exciting leg of the Amazing Race. Since last week's episode seems like so long ago, and so less memorable, I had to read my own blog to remember what happened.

OK, so it's 3:30am and the boyfriends are the first ones out the door. Driving down the road, you'd think that being in the lead would mean something, but no, certainly they'll all bunch up at something that won't be open until later.

Horse riding... looks easy enough. Oops, almost forgot to hope for Rob and Amber to lose... so hoped. Nice work by Lynn and Alex... way to stay in the lead... but heading onto a plane which is sure to mean a lot of waiting at the airport. I guess that's the way the race works though.

Well Rob and Amber deserve each other. They think they're all that, and that people hate them because they want to be like them? As the Travel Gnome would say..."BULL HONKERY!".

OK, I think I'm liking Gretchen and Meredith more and more. They're doing a great job just hanging in there and making it work.

Didn't it seem like that 10 minutes waiting for the train to leave went on for an eternity? I think that's another bit of dramatic editing by the producers. It's no drama if you really notice that everyone is like 2 minutes apart.

Detour.... 7 sq. mile area searching for a shipwreck? Or find an island? I'll go with the island... give me a map and I'm a happy camper. Then again, navigating on water may not quite be as easy as it seems. Eh... doesn't seem like much of a difference here.

Seven words that make me cringe every time: "Rob and Amber, you're team number one!"

But on the bright side, my current favorite team of the brothers who were in last place just two legs earlier are now in second place.

Wow, everyone on the first flight makes it to the pit stop before the second flight even touches down. Seems like we have two races in one here. That can only mean one thing though... next week will be a long flight off the continent that will bring everyone back into one big group.

Oooh, craftiness... the key to knowing when to follow, and knowing when to not follow. Don't follow the team who is intentionally leading you astray.

So Susan and Patrick slide in a bit too late and are the latest victims of the Amazing Race. Another not too climactic ending (they weren't even close). I'm beginning to be unimpressed with the race... it's like always watching the race for last place. Oh well, another week next week... and the previews show that it is a 2-hour episode that FINALLY gets them off the continent and over to South Africa! Looks like plenty of drama next week! We'll wait and see.
