Amazing Race – Week 7- 10.29.06

First stop this leg, is Mauritius. What a gorgeous stop! What I love the most is how each time has pronounced it wrong! Haha, a little geography perhaps folks?

The Billies leave first since they came in first. Booketing? What the hell is Booketing?!

Of course, they all end up on the one and only flight together. The Beauty Queens are just being horribly bitchy to the Bamas, and man I love that. I think that any moment their heads will explode! They try to get The Addicts tickets to be sure that they get on the flight. But hey, we all knew that they would all be on the same flight, they always do.

They get to the island of Mauritus, find their cars, and then get to Grand Baie. They then have to swim to the boat and retrieve the next clue. Which one of these teams is going to freak because of the swim? Well, that would be the Billies! She’s scared of fish and he was tossed in a lake as a kid. Love it. Somehow The Addicts get lost and are in last place. The Chos get their clue, make it to the other side and then wait for the rest of the “Six Pack”. The Addicts make some fast ass swim time and still somehow get lost! They always do somehow.

Off the Case Noyale to get the next clue from the Post Office. Rob and Kimberly, of course, have troubles and drama. He can’t get the car in gear so he starts yelling at her. She yells back and stomps off like a 10 year old. They push the car off the road, so they wait for a new one to come. The Beauty Queens get in a little fender bender and still make it to the Post Office first. They get the Detour. This legs Detour is Salt or Sea. In Salt, they have to drive themselves 2 miles to the salt pit. They have to find a saltshaker that contains their next clue hidden in 3 mounds of salt. In Sea, they have to drive to a nearby dock, pick a Captain and go to an island. They have to find the ships mast and attach it. Then go back to get their next clue.

The B Queens take Sea, and the others take Salt. I love that no matter what happens, Rob and Kimberly always gripe at each other! They swap, and head for the Sea. Then The Addicts also switch and go for the Sea task. Then the Bama girls and The Chos switch. Then the Billies start bitching at each other over it. Which of course, I love. I love when the teams tear into each other. They do end up heading for the Sea task in last place.

The Beauty Queens head to the first Pitstop named Chateau Bel Ombre. Then Rob and Kimberly and then The Addicts. I really want The Addicts to place in the top 3. I didn’t pick them in my game, but… still. I like them. I swear if they get lost, I’m gonna have a hissy. Thank goodness they didn’t get lost. And I’m hoping that the Bama Girls get the boot. They are some bad karma.

But they lucked out again, it’s the non-elimination round. I can’t believe they did it so close together.

What is the Intersection that Phil speaks of? Well, next week….we shall see.
