The Amazing Race 9, Episode 5 Insider Clips: Double D Disaster
by Heathyr Ford -- 04/04/2006

 
Just how serious are Eric & Jeremy about winning the race? Why were people honking their horns at Danni & Danielle? And is there a feud brewing between Fran & Barry and Lake & Michelle? Heathyr has the scoop from the Insider clips right here.

Another Weaver-free episode of The Amazing Race (yes, I am STILL celebrating after all this time)! I’m also exhausted, having been away at a board, so I’m going to make this recap as brief as I can. All that driving and hobnobbing makes me tired, and I want to take a nap!

The Dish: Team Frat pops some wheelies in the wheelchairs as they catch up on all the scoop with Team Hippie and Team Redneck. They let everyone know that the girls (Team Double D of course) barely missed getting eliminated by five minutes, and that Wanda & Desiree were ousted. Tyler jokes that it’ll be Team Frat and Team Double D, but Team Frat quickly says no. It’s obvious to them (and indeed to us all) that the girls don’t have what it takes to get them up there.

Big Boobs =/ Big Brains: Yes, the girls are quickly falling apart. Sweet and amusing as hell, absolutely, probably quite smart under normal circumstances too. However, in the context of the race, One D & Other D have pretty much lost it by the time they get to Italy. In this clip, they drive with their hazards on (drive badly, I might add) and then figure everyone is honking at them because they are hated (due to driving badly). Then, in a fit of inspiration, they suddenly realize that they are, get this, driving. With. The. Trunk. Open. Yes, the honks were to get their attention, and they ignored them in embarrassment. It takes some serious talent to drive a hatchback with the trunk open and not notice it.

Things Could Be Worse: Double D’s chat in the car about how they could win it if stupid things didn’t happen. Seriously? You mean, if you didn’t keep making bad decisions, you could win? Wow.

Let ‘em Have It: Double D’s are at the Yield bemoaning their circumstances. The girls do try to build themselves up and not let it get to them, but their exhaustion in the race is evident at this point. This is the ugliest (and I don’t mean physically, people) I’ve seen them (not that it’s very ugly), so you can tell the stress is really getting to them.Big Payoff: BJ & Tyler are in the airport. Tyler walks, but BJ rolls around in a wheelchair. They are glad they got the ticket but Lake & Michelle were not able to. Team Redneck just wasn’t up to snuff on the internet like Team Hippie. BJ remarks he uses it more than he talks to people (if it weren’t for work, I could say the same thing!).

Ya Gotta Have Friends: BJ & Tyler chat it up with some other travelers while Michelle looks oddly on. No clue why, but she does. The boys discover some swimmers with their manager and a musician (or maybe the manager belongs to the musician, but I don’t think so). Tyler used to live somewhere one of them is from, it sounds like. Team Stoner exclaims that you have some athletes, a musician, and some hippies, the circle of life.

Destined To Be Together: I suddenly want to go all grade school and say 2Good 2B 4Gotten as Team Frat & Team Hippie decide they were destined to be racing together up front. Eric is obviously pissed at himself for not thinking of using the internet to find tickets. This is one of those clues that those “Team Frat opponents” out there should see to realize that the boys are actually serious and good competitors, not just idiots looking for a nice piece of you-know-what!

The Mountain Man: Ray & Yolanda talk about liking Lake & Michelle. They consider Team Redneck to be good competitors, but Yolanda does find Lake a bit crazy. She likens him to a mountain man who shoots you when you walk by his property in the wilderness and goes off about you doing so. Heh. Ray hopes they knock out one of the top dogs somehow, but he’s going to settle for knocking anyone out but him and Yo. Ray mentions that it will take him 3 years to earn a million so he needs that money. Yeah, whatever, dude.

Catching Up: Dave & Lori are in the airport trying to get tickets and run into Eric & Jeremy for the first time since Russia. They quickly fill each other in on the details of their escapades, such as the trips won, etc. Eric & Jeremy ask if they won anything with the gnome and seem genuinely upset no one else got something from the gnome.

A Day At The Races: Eric & Jeremy spend their lead racing in wheelchairs in the airport. This must be entertaining for the crew. Not as entertaining as say filming Survivor wherein swimsuits and buffs are constantly falling off, but still.

No Threat: I dislike Frankenberry more and more each episode. They walk by clueboxes multiple times (in multiple countries now!) and they whine all the time about being eliminated and how “this is it.” I keep expecting Redd Foxx’s ghost to bitch them out for stealing his thunder. Anyway, the team that keeps screwing up and isn’t that great to begin with starts dissing Lake & Michelle. Fran explains that Team Redneck is not that great (got a mirror anywhere?). Fran also makes a point that they have helped Team Redneck multiple times, but it’s a one-way street, and they get nothing in return, so no more help. Now see this, this I can understand. This makes sense. It also explains why she was all “get out of here” at the ticket counter. She was rude, but how can you nicely tell someone to get away? Anyway, some valid points, but Frankenberry is “not all that” either so they should just shush.

Battle Scars: Mojo and Team Nerd compare bruises from the various competitions. Apparently dancing took its toll on Joseph’s legs. Heh.

Wrong Way: The Rednecks weren’t the only team to run up the wrong way at the roadblock. Hours before them, Mojo did the same thing, still arriving at the mat second. Phil does his eyebrow and his pause then reminds them they have to go back and do the roadblock. They look befuddled then kick into gear and run off.

Parental Substitutes: BJ & Tyler explain that Fran & Barry are like substitute parents for them. They put it this way: You know those friends you had in high school with the cool parents who made you feel at home and worried about you like they were your parents, without the nazi oppressorism you associated with your parents because you were an immature twat? Frankenberry are those people. Heh.

Color Him Rednecked & Shocked: Lake post-race blathers on about Fran’s “threatening” of him. Ooh baby, shakin’ in your Reebok’s were ya? Fran’s a tough one, she is. Snort. This is a major ramble fest but it boils down to Lake is irked that Fran acted how she did in the airport. Remember, he admitted it wasn’t seemly for a doctor’s wife (whatever that means).

Still In It: Post-race with Ray & Yolanda. Yolanda talks about how she had nothing left in her, but she just let herself go racing from the roadblock to the pit stop. Good girl, that’s how it’s done. Ray mentions it’s hard, but it is a game and thus fun. Yolanda looks at it like a “live adult board game” and while on the surface, that sounds like some sort of nifty internet porn site you could find, it really makes sense. In other words, this is just a game, like a board game, with live adults running around doing stuff, and per Yolanda, when you get eliminated, you just have to take it in stride at that point. Nice way of looking at it, in my opinion. Look for my first naughty book, however, entitled Live Adult Monopoly as soon as I have time to write out all my lewd ideas!

Gridlock: Team Frat, post-race, laugh about how bad driving around Palermo was. Eric massacres the pronunciation something awful (anyone else notice how hardly anyone could say it right?) and Jeremy corrects him. They joke the girls have probably killed ten scooter drivers and need to have a big stamp that they just mark the dashboard with every time they hit a scooter. Heh. He’s bang on with their driving skills though. I’m surprised there wasn’t an accident!

Sad, But Not: Double D at the mat go on and on about how this was difficult and not what they expected. Again, more fatigue and frustration speaking, I think, because they do contradict themselves a lot. They say it was no fun, then mention they had fun. Phil of course asks them what they thought they were signing up for, and they explain that it’s just harder than it looks. Hmm, this season’s theme apparently. Well, at least they aren’t scared of leaves. They had fun, were upset, but feel good about themselves and how tough they are.

All Turned Around: Ray & Yolanda at the mat explain to Phil that they went 25 kilometers out of their way, because once they thought they were going the wrong way, it was another 15 kilometers before there was an exit for them to take. (By the way, dear readers, I grew up a pretentious little wench, and you have NO IDEA how hard it is for me to remember to use Americanized spellings. I have always used “colour” and “kilometre” and such stuff. Appreciate the lengths I go to in catching my spelling quirks!) Ray is glad it was a physical end because he doesn’t think many people can beat them in that. Phil emphatically agrees.

Self-Preservation: Lake & Michelle explain at the mat why they yielded Double D. Basically, they were left. Why they did not choose Ray & Yolanda is less clear, but it sounds like they just grabbed the first name they knew for certain was behind them without looking at the board to see who had come in yet. Michelle claims the purpose of the Yield is to get finished before someone. That’s a bit short-sighted actually. The purpose should be to get someone eliminated. Yes, it’s nice to put some distance between you and another team, and yes, you are at least possibly assured it’s not you going home that night, but ultimately, you want that team out of the race after the yield. In this case, it worked. Somehow Ray & Yolanda come up in context with racing against Dani & Danielle. Team Redneck likes Ray & Yo (though Michelle quickly exclaims they like all the teams, and Lake qualifies that some teams—meaning Frankenberry—have been acting badly today). Phil likes Yolanda too and believes she could outrun just about any man on the race.

We’re Number One: Phil asks BJ & Tyler at the mat how it feels to be number one. Oh come on, Phil! Surely you can ask a less banal question. The hippies say it is good because they haven’t seen anyone all day. They love Italy and the people were helpful. They envision being able to eat some fettucine and practically drool. Then they mention someone on the plane said that Palermo was known for eating cow guts, so they kept expecting a food challenge. They admit the person could have been exaggerating. Phil comments on the facial hair growth of Team Hippie.

Game Faces: Eric & Jeremy explain to Phil that they made mistakes, such as the internet ticketing fiasco, and they are obviously not happy about it, especially Eric. Phil seems shocked because they’ve been casanovaing around. Again, I think this is someone failing to look past the exterior goofiness show and seeing what many of their actions truly support—that Eric & Jeremy, while fun guys, are also here to do well and win. Phil jokes that Jeremy is sweating more than Eric and wonders if he can keep up. Jeremy admits his endurance is crap, but Eric stays in better shape. The Holy Hottie is looking on amusingly (and she truly is gorgeous).

Double D Parting Words: One D & Other D both learned that there is more to vacations than going to somewhere easy like the Caribbean and lying on the beach. Now they are more motivated to take trips that involve other countries like Germany and the cities therein, and actually doing things on them. They realize they can enjoy themselves doing things rather than doing nothing and getting a tan, which, one of them jokes, is bad for you anyway. This is what I like to see—some real growth from the experiences.

Girls, I am sorry to see you go because you were sweet and amusing and not quite like the stereotype you work hard at projecting. However, your racing left a lot to be desired, and that’s really how you wound up out. I was rooting for you over Frankenberry though, and I cursed my TV set when I did not have the power over the past like I should have!

All right, y’all, I’m off for a quick nap. See you next week when Amazing Race apparently moves to 8 p.m. Wednesdays. Here’s hoping I don’t forget.
