This week’s Amazing Race featured a particularly gruesome Detour, where racers had to dress up as a cow, drink their own juice, and then offer themselves to a butcher in exchange for a clue. Oh, there was and sauteed sheep ass, too! A vegetarian’s dream. Enjoy, Terence!

Our teams headed to Kazakhstan, where everyone went pretty light on the Borat jokes, thank goodness. Sarah impressed me by showing that she’s learned the words “fast” and “thank you” for every country they’ve visited so far. Dandrew acted like ugly little ignorant Americans by calling everyone in Kazakhstan mean and unhelpful for not speaking English. Hate them. Have I mentioned that?

Anyhoo, the first clue of this leg led everyone to a chicken factory (this really wasn’t your leg if you’re an animal rights person!) where they had to find a golden egg. There was also a Fast Forward available, which Nick/Starr and Sarah/Terence both decided to pursue. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE. The FF led them to a restaurant for the traditional “eat a large amount of something gross while the locals point and laugh” challenge. Terence was dismayed to find that they were eating meat. It was more like fat, which is even more disgusting. To his credit, Terence decided to give it a try. However, Nick and Starr (Starr especially) wolfed the sheep butt down, and I think Terence/Sarah should have given up as soon as they realized how difficult it would be for Terence. To his credit, Terence took full responsibility and didn’t berate Sarah at all. They fell way behind at this point, and never recovered. I was actually sorry to see them go, as they were completely unoffensive this week. As compared to Dandrew, who fought the entire time and were even sent back to the Detour by Phil for completing it incorrectly. And they still beat Terence and Sarah. Ah well.

So Nick and Starr got the Fast Forward and won yet another leg. There’s no stopping them!

This week, everyone chose the same Detour, titled “Act Like Fools,” which was quite appropriate. Teams dressed up as a cow and then had to find their way to a milk stall, where they would see a clue in the bottom of a glass of milk. Both Toni/Dallas and Ken/Tina missed the clue the first time. Toni/Dallas recovered quickly, while Tina misread the clue several times. However, both teams managed to pull it together enough to land on the mat in second and third place. Toni/Dallas continue to delight me with their positive attitude. Dallas stomping down the street in that cow costume screaming, “MOO!” was a highlight of this season, I think.

Dan and Andrew also did the cow detour, and complained throughout the entire thing. They, too, misread their clue and took a cab to the Pit Stop when it clearly said they had to walk. They managed to go back and correct their mistake and land on the Mat in fourth place, as Sarah and Terence were still so far behind from their Fast Forward attempt.

So Dandrew lives another day, and Terence/Sarah are eliminated. They gave a very sweet exit interview, and Terence didn’t piss me off once this week. Ugh, Dandrew, it should have been you.

Order of Finish:

1. Nick & Starr
2. Toni & Dallas
3. Ken & Tina
4. Andrew & Dan
5. Terence & Sarah (ELIMINATED)
