Wonderful race last night! But where did they get the dervishes? When I was in Istanbul 10 years ago, you couldn't find a dervish unless you knew one because they were outlawed...It was sort of like looking for a speakeasy.
What do yyou think of this theory? The starting times out of Istanbul revealed that Juchenna came in last week about an hour ahead of Metch, not hours and hours, as it appeared. Romber arrived at the Istanbul Pit Stop 40 minutes after Metch, and Relly came in 20 minutes later, making the difference between the first and last teams two hours, the time difference between flights. Discounting the flights and counting just their racing time, Juchenna and Romber's actual racing time was very close, with Romber effectively beating Juchenna and with Relly coming in third. Advantage, Romber. (But of course, you cannot discount the flight times. )
This week, Romber was clearly back in their groove, digging until they found the best flight and signing up a willing accomplice to speed them through the magical mystery tour of London. Stuart was having the time of his life with Romber, but apparently didn't recognize them from Survivor.
The preview of next week's show showed Amber falling and Rob carrying her on his back as he ran along a riverbank. Provocative to say the least. If that was the home stretch, Romber might be beaten by faster runners. Relly has always been the fastest running team if I'm not mistaken. If Kelly has to stop and apply lipstick, however, they would fall behind.
Speaking of that...women on this thread - help me out.
Would you give a perfect stranger your lipstick and then take it back after she used it? I know I wouldn't. But then again the closest thing to lipstick that I use is Chapstick.
My take on the situation? "Keep it, I'll buy another!"
I think Romber is in good shape.
BTTT
I have a theory that the producers are dropping in "helpers" to guide Rob and Amber and ensure they make it all the way to the final, pulling in big ratings.
