Penultimate Amazing Race 5

Watching Colin rage while trying to plow up a clue in the Phillipines was must see TV. I have to admit it was a guilty pleasure, since I now I can get pretty steamed when frustrated. In Colin's defense (I never thought I'd write that), Christie sure didn't help. If Kim could get down and dirty leading the Ox around (just like the other teams where both members worked together), why couldn't Christie?

Watching them both fume at getting yielded was priceless, but what did they expect? Ther other teams aren't goint to do nothing to stop their string of first places. I have to wonder if the producers didn't derail C&C in Singapore by asking (paying?) the airline to not board them. All that enjoyments was salve for C&C non being eliminated when they came in last. I guess they put those non-elimination legs in the race to pad the show out to the proper length whil keeping the number of teams to a managable level.

Next week we have the 2 hour finale to look forward to. I like 3 out of the 4 teams, and if Colin and Christie do win, at least they've provided a lot of the entertainment value of the show. I have to admit though, my wife is leaning towards the Brandon and Nicole team while I'm hoping for Linda and Karen AKA the bowling moms.
