The Eighth Leg - Part 1

It doesn't look good for Meredith and Gretchen!

So, our first 'To Be Continued' episode. I guess it had to happen eventually. But c'mon, can Meredith and Gretchen possibly pull this off? It's very doubtful. They're going slower and slower each leg, and I think Gretchen is losing it even more each leg. And just who did all those Indians think Meredith and Gretchen were? It must have been the cameras or something, but that was a little odd. I'm still trying to figure out who they look like that would make people clap for them. Anyways......

Khwai River Lodge, Botswana to Lucknow, India

I don't have too much motivation for this page, as no one was eliminated, very little drama, and I just overall the episode didn't do too much for me. So here is a bulleted list of what I thought the highlights were:

- The alliance of Rob & Amber with Ron & Kelly is amusing. You can tell who is benefitting from this alliance and who isn't - Ron & Kelly are so being carried by R&A, it's not even funny. When R&K finally have to do something on their own, they end up bickering. Not too much hope for them, especially considering the background of their picture!

- The taxi fiasco at the Lucknow airport was entertaining. The calm, inside window that Uchenna & Joyce went to didn't seem to be hidden, yet here all the other teams were, screaming and haggling.

- A YIELD, and those dummies Ron & Kelly don't use it against Rob & Amber. There's only one more opportunity to possibly use this, and for the first time, someone was in front of Rob & Amber. Obviously it should have been used, even with the alliance there. You take any and all advantages you can get. Sure, it could backfire and bite you in the butt at the last YIELD (think Adam and Rebecca from last season), but you take that chance. Even Rob admitted he would have yielded!

- Gretchen, Gretchen, Gretchen. How will you find a clue when you are too busy exclaiming about all the silver boxes? You won't. So shut up and open some boxes already!

I guess we'll see what happens next week. It won't be too shocking to see M&G sent packing though at the end.
