'Dancing With The Stars' Season 14 Dream Casting
MTV Sets Premiere Date For Pauly D's 'Jersey Shore' Spinoff
Amazing Race 9: Episode 6
Tonight's episode was one of those
navigation episodes with plenty of behind-the-wheel angst but no really difficult tasks to make anyone vomit or go
ballistic. BJ and Tyler, who are first to arrive at the first location create a little sign-up sheet, which Eric
and Jeremy find amusing. Considering that these teams are always jockeying for first, they don't seem incredibly
competitive with each other. No wonder, seeing the pictures up on Jaunted this week. The first challenge is to count the number of
heads surrounding an amphitheater, a nice little non-task that sets the pace for a pretty boring episode. Any drama to be had in this episode centers around big smelly swordfish. The detour is to either pick up a 32-pound swordfish and carry it to the fish market or to sell fish in the fish market. Most teams end up doing the fish lugging since it's the easier task. But toting the swordfish is no simple business, especially for Monica who ends up scraped up and weepy. Joseph has an Ugly American moment, saying he wants to stab the locals. She's the type of girl who, even completely covered in fish guts, looks charmingly mussed. But these two are quickly reaching Lake and Michelle levels of annoyance. I'm a little mystified as to why Ray and Yolanda aren't doing better. They are young, fit and organized. Is it all bad navigation that's doing them in?
The road block involves a vigorous game of kayak polo (did I hear Eric call Jeremy a pansy?) It looks like a difficult challenge but no one has a real problem with it. Michelle chooses to play the game for Lake and Michelle, and this gives Lake a chance to nearly lose his mind on the sidelines. Once Michelle finally gets out of the water, Lake starts spouting off about something again, and Michelle tells him he is talking too much.
The pit stop is
in Siracusa. In the rotation this week, Eric and Jeremy are number one, followed by BJ and Tyler, Joseph and Monica,
Fran and Barry, Lake and Michelle and Ray and Yolanda. Lori and Dave are last and get eliminated (I was sure it would
be non-elimination this go-round). Oh well, at least they won't be stuck wearing their fish clothes.
