I thought the comment about how "Jon is just jealous becuse we are more manly and masculine than he is" was the most obvious example of this. It absolutely killed me to see the clowns go (and not just because I saw Jon shot out of a cannon a few weeks back). Chip and Reichen are much more obsessed with what they perceive of their sexuality than any of the other gay teams that have been on the show. That was obvious at the beginning when they blocked the train station doors or tried to skip the line to get on the boat and then claimed that people hated them because they were gay rather than because they're assholes. They aren't any fun. Give me the Cha Cha Chas any day. And while they're jerks, they aren't as much fun to hate as the Guidos. Of course, I would probably dislike them more if they wore matching shirts every day too.
Kelly is a shrew. He needs to think long and hard before he marries her.
What frustrated me most about the episode was that it was impossible to tell how far back Jon and Al were. I am curious because if it was close, then it seems that there is a good chance that had Jon done the shark tank instead of Al, they might have made it. Jon has nerves of steel. They were my favorite from the beginning.
Unlike Chip and Reichen, I learned the lesson of the Harvard Law bimbos. The last couple of episodes have taught me to pay careful attention to signs, (even the ones for going the other way) and to continue to check for better flights even after you have the reservations. I file these lessons away, as the Amazing Race is the only reality show I would go on. Unfortunately, this might be the end, as it is expensive and hasn't been getting the ratings the network wants after trying it in several time slots.
