Amazing Race Season 14 Episode 8

Amazing race season 14 episode 8 recap

Jbox asked me to post the recap for this episode, I think because he was too busy with some ladies of the night (which he gave up for lent).   He didn't miss much this episode, because in my opinion it was the same old crap.  Team Midget Stuntmen broke the rules again and Team Sistas are so dysfunctional.

This one starts out by the teams leaving Phucket and headed to Bangkok Thailand.  It must have been nice to take a 1 hour flight instead of taking 15+ hours to get anywhere, but it sucked for the first teams that had to spend the night in the airport to catch a 7am flight.   After arriving they all took taxis to the first road block, and that's when hot red head cheerleader's anger came out again.  I was curious why Luke and Margie didn't wait up for Cara and Jaime, unless Deaf Kid already got some and it wasn't that great.   The roadblock was one of the easiest ones to date with the propeller, but it shows had bad Asian Lawyer Victor is at putting things together.   Things quickly got complicated after some teams decided to grab their gear and head by boat to the next clue, while others left their stuff waiting at the dock or in the cabs.  For some strange reason ugly sister Kisha decided to leave her shoes and their passports at the dock thinking they would come back to get them.  Of course the midget brothers disagreed on whether to take their stuff or not and it cost them in the end. At the detour teams had to decide whether to ride in karaoke cabs or fit dentures in some old folks' mouths.   Both of these ended up being really disturbing to watch.  All of the teams but one decided to go with the karaoke taxis but had to ride with Thai party chicks that were seemed to be trannies.   Luke and Margie chose the dentures, and Deaf Kid just kept moaning the entire time.  I couldn't tell if he was moaning because he was frustrated or because he was so disgusted.  Margie was methodical about the whole thing and completed it in no time to get them to the pit stop first.   Team NFL Cheerleaders were second to the pit stop, and then Team Asian Lawyers third.

Team Sistas technically got to the pit stop third, but Phil broke the bad news that they had left their passports behind at the dock and could not be checked in until they got them.   I kept thinking that they're screwed since last season the stupid college frat dudes left their shoes at a previous detour and couldn't retrieve them at the end of the pit stop.   So they had to take a cab back to the dock, grab their backpacks, shoes and passports and get back in time.   Meanwhile, Team Midget Stuntmen argued what seemed like hours trying to decide whether to go back to get their backpacks or complete the detour first.  They opted to take a cab back to the docks, and had to drop a ton of money doing so.  They finally met up with their first taxi and had that guy take them back to the city for the detour.  Unfortunately, they didn't have enough money and Mark offered a flashlight and something else (I think a HJ) to pay for the cab.  They did the karaoke and Michael loved the trannies and probably had no clue they were dudes.   When they took the last taxi to get to the pit stop, they were short on cash and Mark paid with his watch.  They made it to the pit stop before the sisters made it back.  Then Phil dropped a huge bomb on them reminding them that they had illegally paid for taxis with items other then cash, and incurred two 2-hour penalties... four hours in total they had to wait.  Stupid midgets.  Finally Kisha and Jen showed up to finish fourth and had a tender moment when they cried about how stupid they are for not taking two minutes to grab their crap.   Phil waited a good ten minutes and then finally decided to check in the midgets.  Good news for them is that it was a non-elimination race.  Bad news is that not only do they have a speed bump in the next leg, but they also have to wait out the remainder of their penalty  (~3 hours) in the beginning of the next leg.  Too bad they didn't know that in advance, because they could have asked Phil to wait out the delay before checking-in.  

In a preview for next week's episode, Jen and Luke get into a scuffle twice and someone gets called a bitch.  I can't wait.

Just finished watching it

I kept thinking there was no way they were going to be able to afford the cab fare for that guy waiting behind.

The trick is you can barter just not personal belongings that you brought on the race.

Angry cheerleader looked hot except for that piece of poo on her shirt.

I like how

with the Deedles, the one implies to the other that he is somehow weaker for bringing along mementos that he didn’t want to leave behind.

“Mark, I’ll be sad without the pictures of my family!”

“Well that’s what you get for having one, Mike!”

Angry cheerleader: I’d donate to charity to see her smacked in the face.

Angry cheerleader

the angrier she gets, the more attractive I find her. I love a feisty woman!

Don't hate the game, hate the nerds!

Bad news is that not only do they have a speed bump in the next leg, but they also have to wait out the remainder of their penalty (~3 hours) in the beginning of the next leg. Too bad they didn’t know that in advance, because they could have asked Phil to wait out the delay before checking-in.

There’s no difference if they waited before being checked in or add it to the delay in their start of the next leg. Everyone has to wait 12 hours (or whatever it is) from the time they check in until they start. So they either had to sit there for 3 hours and then start 12 hours later for the next leg, or check in and start the next leg 15 hours later. It’ll be the exact same time either way, except this way they didn’t have to sit on the grass for three more hours.
