The Amazing Race: Leg 5

*Spoilers ahead*

Many years ago, there was a movie that coined a phrase which most people have probably used once in their life. It came from the movie “Ghost” and it was the answer to Demi Moore saying “I love you.”

“Ditto”

Thanks Patrick Swayze, that line was kind of annoying for a long time, but no worries…Ronald from The Amazing Race has helped put the movie and that quote in the distant past. His daughter Christina keeps trying to break through her dad’s tough exterior by being kind to him, even going as far as saying “I love you” as much as possible.

But she probably didn’t expect the response she got:

“I love you dad.”

“They have great pastries in Lithuania I hear.”

So sweet, such a warm fuzzy. Thanks Ronald, I’ve already used that line on my wife last night. Went over REAL well.

I guess Shana finally realized that using the U-Turn was just asking for Karma to come kick them in the gut and eliminate them from the race, but in reality, it was time for the L.A. Blondes to go. Jennifer was losing it having to deal with Shana and they just appeared to be at the end of their rope.

They wont be missed for anything other than their utter desperation and paranoia.

Next up on the melt-down train is Nathan and Jennifer, who love each other, yell at each other and call each other names all in one leg of the race. The fence post challenge was a hilarious moment, but you had to feel bad when Jennifer miscounted, “87, 88, 89, 100.”

Ooops.

Finally, Phil really teased us at the end with the long pause before he said “Non-Elimination!” but no, I was totally wrong and they just pulled a fast one on us, making us THINK that slow announcement would bring the blondes back for Leg 6.

I guess it got too predictable with Phil and the non-elimination announcement, so kudos for shaking things up, I was sure they were staying.

Looks like no one lost a team in our little contest here, so we all hold over for another week.

(Although I think those with Nathan and Jennifer could be in trouble next week!)
