| Is There A Ray Of Hope For Deana? |
Bwahahahaha.
*Deep breath*
Bwahahahahaha - ha!
What a way for the ultimate Pigs to be pulverised into destruction - losing to two people who'd just experienced a mega-trauma near-death experience and still not being able to outrun them.
Ray proved exactly what he is - a bully loudmouth who's terrified of getting old and can't cope when the truth is revealed.
The most hysterical thing about it is that I don't think he can drive - if he did he would definitely have taken over from Deana during that final sprint. Yet there wasn't even a whisper of him taking over.
Instead he covered up the fact that he can’t even pass his drivers license with one pathetic bad-mouthing moment after the next. Telling Deana she was deliberately getting them to lose by trying to squash as little mielie-corn as possible was the most crazed and appalling of all.
Their losing was really such a wonderfully uplifting relief - if they hadn't been beaten by The Brothers Grimm there would truly be no justice in this world at all.
How hectic was their horrible accident? For the first time ever I was actually able to tell Greg and Brian apart because Greg's mug literally bloated into a balloon trying to cope with what he'd done. Imagine how it would suck to nearly kill your cameraman but still need to push on to try to win.
The fact that they managed to get their heads together, push on and stay in the game was excellently amazing. It was also equivalent to Rob and Amber's not stopping and driving past the scene of their accident.
If Rob and Amber had stopped then Brian and Greg should have stopped the race to make sure their cameraman was okay. As far as I can see there is no diffs because in both instances both teams carried on, knowing there was nothing they could have done to fix the situation.
I must say I was very unimpressed with Phil's grumpy judgmental mug at the pit stop. The way he disapprovingly quizzed Rob and Amber about it, making as if they'd been the epitome of evil by driving past was very inappropriate and unfair.
They could see that Brian and Greg had assistance - there was nothing they could have done to assist if they'd stopped. Pulling over to put on a show about how much they cared would just have been rubberneckingly fake.
I don't for a moment believe they wouldn't have stopped if it had happened right in front of them as it did with the Bitches and I also don't reckon that the Bitches really thought Rob and Amber were Pigs for not stopping.
It was just perfect ammo for their increasing armoury of loathing towards them - for which they thankfully got some very excellent come-uppance in our beloved South Africa.
I was delighted that their retribution happened here - you have noo idea how much I wanted them to find themselves way deep and lost in the heart of Hillbrow. Hehe. The way they were carrying on about being terrified was so ridiculous I couldn’t believe they were actually being serious.
They must have been though 'cos it set the mood for their entire leg, with them getting aggro with each other for the first time - most notably at the mielie Detour. Every moment of sweatily turning their Bitch onto one another was superb and I want more, more, more.
I also want Meredith and her husband to beat them during the next leg - they deserve it big time after kicking such butt against the odds.
The way they managed to get their themselves organised while having nothing of their own was incredible. Uchenna and Joyce were also very sweet giving them some of their clothes and now that they're doing better again - Gretchen's screechy voice calling everyone “kids” is back to needing a slap.
It's hysterical that after all this time nobody has one clue that Meredith's actually a "him" - it goes to show how ridiculous his name is. Uchenna and Rob’s very genuine confusion about it all had me chortling away and I just don’t see them ever getting it right.
It's exactly the same situation as Brian and Greg, where no matter how many times you see something in a moment and know it, it's impossible to remember it the next time.
Gretchen's plastic bag is also very funny and reminds me of the cat lady who's always cycling up and down my road. She's a total weirdo who entertains and feeds the cats in my neighbourhood – always with one creased plastic bag.
Together they are proof of what it is exactly that women want - a permanent somewhere to put their valuable goodies.
There’s something to be said about travelling really lightly though isn’t there? Not having to worry about clothes or money or cellphones or keys or socks etc.
It struck me as they were setting out when Gretchen – looking like an escaped convict - said that all her and him had was each other.
Them knowing this and relying on each other only worked brilliantly for them through it all, to the extent that they didn’t even need to ask for the money they did.
As for Kelly and Ron winning – I don’t even want to talk about it.
Urgh, I can’t believe how well they’re doing. Kelly gave Ron one or two slightly flirtatious looks this episode but other than that they loathed each other. I just don’t see that there’s any love between them – how could you if you were Kelly?
Ron’s saying he wanted to feed her to lions was so not a loving teasy-joke. It seemed like it - but it wasn’t. Also, as the juice showed for next week – they call each other names in their brains and just haven’t expressed them yet.
How is it possible for two people who feel this way about each other to do so exceptionally well together time and again?
I just don’t know what it is exactly that’s getting them to be so speedy. Like I can’t see what it is that’s putting them at the front. Could it be … dare I say it and die a gruesome death from anguish?... could it be Ron’s m..m..m ..military training?
Please noooo – if it is it’s just way too much of a problem as it's never gonna away. The only justice with them is that they didn’t win a holiday. It would have been such a waste. Imagine them holidaying it up sexily in the Caribearrean. Not.
PS: Those pans they're sleeping on are so cool! It's the best spot they've ever rested - it's like a Salvador Dali painting.
