Amazing Race. So, that? Totally fun leg. Except that a happy Ken & Tina are kind of nauseating. I am glad they have each other. Saves the rest of us, you know? Also, Terrence? Yuck. Seriously. “I need some love, play with my hair.” What guy says that??? “Waaaaaaait for me!” “I have to open the envelope, you suck at it.” Terence, regarding sucking and what you can–never mind. But…wow.
And Sarah just happily kind of goes along with it. Also - saves them from the rest of us.

Phil is clearly relishing explaining every leg, every challenge. He’s home! New Zealand is beautiful.

Everyone else - good times, nothing much new. But Maori warriors? Totally rock. Phil’s Dad at the amazing bathmat? Even more rocking. Team Divorce must get the most brutal pedicures known to man if those rocks didn’t even register on their feet while stomping kiwis. I loved that Star and Bro couldn’t figure out why their nemeses never showed up at the blokarts. But dude, she thought she broke her arm - why did you make her drive the car? At all? What the hell was up with that? Dallas and Mom also rock. Loved them this leg. Team Long Distance find the love despite the bickering. Ken and Tina taking the fast forward when they totally didn’t need to? Yeah. I hope that comes back to bite them later when the second one presents itself. Hope they don’t actually need it then. Okay, yes, I totally do.

Unfortuntately, in the end the Belles can’t muster the win. (Did you notice the Maori warrior totally kissed her instead of rubbing noses? HA!) BUT! They do get a hug from Phil’s totally hot to trot dad. Double HA!

Next week: Let’s hope a team I actually like finishes in first.

This week’s Free Stuff Contest is an easy one: email me at donna@donnakauffman.com with “I could use a free book” in the subject line. Winner chosen from all the entries and announced on Friday. Good luck!
