The Amazing Race Ep1

If there were any reality show that I would really want to be on it would definitely be The Amazing Race. I mean Hello! You are traveling around the world in a race with an ultimate cash prize. Sold! Plus this is something I've always talked about doing with my brother so there you go. 

There are some very interesting pairs this season, note worthy are the birth mother and daughter team, the home shopping bimbos, the couple with the guy who could care less about his boo (ew!), the father/son team, the southern belle and pops team, oh and my favorite the glee guys. I'm surprised there isn't the "old couple" team but I guess because they always go out first, that would be a waste of money for CBS. 

So the teams begin their trip to England where they have to find the Stonehenge and get a clue that redirects them to a castle for their mission. The team who initially was first on the flight to England got lost on their way to Stonehenge and never really bounced back. I wonder if it was the fact that they were driving on the wrong side of the road? Anyway, they had to climb up a castle wall, get a flag, transport it through what looked like a turtle shell boat across a lake and give it to their knight. Once that was done the had a road block, which is a task that only one player from each team must perform. Upon completion they will be given their next clue. So this was the watermelon toss. The player had to load a watermelon on a huge sling shot and knock over their knight. Easy right? Unless you are this lady (the other half of the home shopping team) that got hit in the face with a watermelon.. I swear to you I was laughing uncontrollably. It's obvious that this had to have hurt like hell but it still doesn't take away from the fact that it was hilarious!!

Sadly, this is our couple, not couple, the pair that got eliminated because they don't know how to follow English directions. OY!

Next week should be good!!
