Am I crazy enough to buy wii just so I can play the TAR game?... The answer scares me.
I'm expecting India next. Only half of these second chance racers have experienced it before and it was absent in TAR17. The geography nerd in me would still ideally prefer another Asia stop in Qatar or Papua New Guinea or the Maldives, but realistically... that's not going to happen.
As to Jaime, I'm going to guess that her decision to appear in a certain magazine wasn't very popular.
I can only speak for myself, but: no. I had NO clue what she's been up to until I read it here a couple of days ago, I only really keep track of racers I like. I would never hold a nude pictorial against any woman, we're in the 21st century and damn well allowed to do whatever we please and I support that.
To answer the original question, I'll let TWOP's recap do the job for me:
As they head out to the street to find a cab, Jaime finds a way to be obnoxious even during this relatively simple transaction. After Cara asks a cabbie if the unmarked car he's driving is "an official taxi," she says, "It's a BMW, I doubt it." Come to Thailand, and bring your Western cultural assumptions with you! They go over to ask a cop for corroboration, and Jaime gets all yelly when the cop wants to talk to someone else. "Stop talking to him! Listen! Listen, stop talking!" Alas, she is not arrested on the spot. In an interview, she says that she's so frustrated by the language barrier that "I become a lunatic. And there's nothing I can do to stop it. It's like Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." Nothing? Learning another language might help. Or, hey, I've got an even better idea for avoiding problems with language barriers: don't go on The Amazing Race. I have never had an ounce of respect for any racer who's annoyed at people around the world having the GALL to not speak English in order to accommodate their winning a million bucks. Jaime is not as bad as KKKendra, but they're both Ugly Americans.
