Whoops, I got whipped cream in your ear.

So every week, this show called The Amazing Race (Sundays 8pm ET/PT on CBS). The best reality show on TV today. And I thought "Gee, since I have a blog, let's tell you what I thought of this week's episode."

And I will.

First, let me give you some nicknames I'll use for the teams (for simplicity):
1st entering the leg: Margie and Luke (mother and deaf son) or "Helen Keller and his son"
2nd entering the leg: Tammy and Victor (Asian siblings/lawyers) or "Me Love Them Long Time"
3rd entering the leg: Mark and Michael (midget stuntmen) or "The Shorties"
4th entering the leg: Mel and Mike (gay father and son) or "Fabulous"
5th entering the leg: Amanda and Kris (stereotypical dating couple) or "They Tried Too Hard to be Good-Looking"
6th entering the leg: Brad and Victoria (married couple, he's 52, she's 47) or "Geriatric XIV"
7th entering the leg: Jaime and Cara (former NFL cheerleaders) or "Give Me An F-A-I-L"
8th entering the leg: Kisha and Jen (black sisters) or "Sister, Sister"
9th entering the leg: Steve and Linda (married rednecks, he's a carpenter) or "The Rednecks"
10th entering the leg: Christie and Jodi (blonde flight attendants) or "Fasten Your Fail"
Already eliminated: Preston and Jennifer (the other stereotypical dating couple)
Got it? Good. Now let's go thru what haepenned.

We start Leg 2 on a rainy night in Switzerland with Keller and son revealing that they get to go to Munich. You know who else we....never mind. Anyhoo, 7 teams make it on the first flight out of Switzerland while 3 have to settle for a flight 100 min later. The road block would make this time difference irrelevant, because the road block would bunch everyone up and really be the deciding factor in this leg. The road block looked cool: get on top of a mountain and tandem paraglide with an expert to a designated landing zone. That is, unless winds got in the way; then you could wait there (which was stupid) or walk down a path to the landing zone that would take about 60 minutes.

As fate would have it, the wind picked up. Which turned out to be bad news for Fabulous. Mel hurt his groin in the cheese-rolling challenge in the last leg, and it turns out he was the one to choose the road block. So it would've meant further injury for him to walk down. As a result, all of the teams passed him before the wind died down. He got to jump, but not before Fabulous (who entered the block 2nd) slipped to 5th.

The other big factor in this block was the Rednecks, who selected dumbass Linda to do the block. On the trail down, there was a fork in the road, and Linda failed to see the yellow and red sign that guided the players down. She ended up 3 miles down the road from the landing zone and had to bum a ride to Steve. That probably would've been a penalty, but as you'll see later, it wouldn't matter.

Meanwhile, Me Love Them Long Time pretty much ruled the rest of the leg. Tammy got to the bottom of the trail 1st and they stayed in that position thru the detour to the pit stop. The detour was SO MUCH FUN TO WATCH THIS LEG. Their choice: a boring Segway obstacle course (which the midgets and the gays selected) or throw pies at a target until a cherry one popped up. Little did they know that their target was their partner's face. Yeah, probably one of the 5 best tasks I've ever seen on the Amazing Race (granted, I missed last season because I had to work and CBS didn't get Amazing Race up on demand until this season). But yeah, the Asians got through the pies in about 7 tries and went through a little diversionary "get a piece of wood" route marker before hitting the pit stop 1st in Salzburg, Austria.

At the end of this short leg (no pun intended for the midgets), Linda's mistake was too much to overcome. Despite "Fasten Your Fail's" best attempts to blonde moment their way out of the race, they made it in the last transfer spot and the Rednecks are gone to the fail villa. And despite their error earlier, Fabulous got into Salzburg 2nd.

After this 2nd leg, Tammy and Victor have to be the prohibitive favorites. They lost a close footrace to Keller and Son in the first leg and utterly dominated the 2nd leg. I see them making it all the way to the end of the race at least. Others I think will make it in the final 3 are Mel/Mike (they are resilient) and Mark/Michael (dark horse picks to win it all).

Christie and Jodi have to be next on the chopping block: they can't get lucky from their blonde moments forever.

2nd leg finishing order: Tammy/Victor, Mel/Mike, Amanda/Kris, Margie/Luke, Brad/Victoria, Jamie/Cara, Kisha/Jen, Mark/Michael, Christie/Jodi
Gone: Steve/Linda, Preston/Jennifer
