apocalypsosTurkey is so pretty. *pets*
Okay, by team:
Rob and Amber: BWAH. I loved the fact that Rob's little crack about the earlier flight ended up biting them in the ass. And that whole conversation between Ron and Kelly and Rob and Amber in the airport was hilaaaaaaaarious. In any other situation, I would have totally agreed with Rob's "blind leading the blind" assessment, since Uchenna and Joyce are notorious about getting lost and Meredith and Gretchen are still in it mostly because of dumb luck (but then again, dumb luck is a big part of the race), but this week, just ... BWAHAHAHA. I'm amused by Rob and Amber constantly, but I can't help but laugh.
"Hopefully they dropped their gnome somewhere." HEE.
Uchenna and Joyce: Okay, this is the first that I've seen Joyce without her hair, and WOW. That style really compliments her. And they just weigh people in the street in Istanbul? Ooo-kay.
And Uchenna is a freakin' doll. "Where's my princess?" AWWWWW. And they're having fun! They even said so. They're so sweet. :)
Ron and Kelly: Well, somebody had to make an "Istanbul, not Constantinople" reference. ;) As for Kelly, Ron took the precisely correct tact with Kelly's completely idiotic statement about the commitment thing. "Yes, Kelly, I did it on purpose."
And that little smile when they were fighting in the elevator? Free Ron! But seriously, did their lips touch? That was an accident, right?
I figured it was a non-elimination leg, but I really shouldn't have been so thrilled that they got mugged at the Amazing Bathmat. Honestly, if I weren't so bitchy, I really shouldn't have been yelling, "Take everything! Don't stop with their possessions! Take Kelly's stupid hat and their passports and just leave them wandering the streets of Istanbul!" Of course, now Phil's set for life in the Totally Unflattering Tank Top department, so he's got that going for him.
Meredith and Gretchen: It was nice of Gretchen to point out to Joyce she looks nice. It's one thing to hear it from your incredibly sweet husband, but it's another to hear it from someone else. And "the red cap"! Hee.
Of course, then those two had to go and get incredibly lost looking for the Detour. I'm rooting for you two, but seriously. And the scales? Blind leading the blind. That's all I'm saying.
Second place! And for the record, as long as she's on mute, Gretchen is just fine. :)
Next week: You think everybody's already stressed out? Hoo-boy.

Date: 2005-04-27 03:11 am (UTC)I'm adopting Meredith and Gretchen as my grandparents. Even with her squawking, they're the coolest senior citizens I know.
Still loving Uchenna and his Princess Joyce. They're both beautiful.
FREE RON! Shaddup, Kelly. You can't think without a coach. (This is what too many beauty pageants does to you, girls...)

Date: 2005-04-27 03:16 am (UTC)Nope, I was doing it, too. I just couldn't stop laughing at him, but then again, they've been asking for it for the entire season. (I mean, I like them, but still. HEEEEEEEEEEE.)
I love Meredith and Gretchen. Wandering around in a daze seems to work for them. And so does believing Rob's bullshit. *snerk*
Uchenna and Joyce are my favorite team this season. Also, you know what I need? A "Free Ron!" icon. Sure, it's a little late in the season, but really, free Ron!

Date: 2005-04-27 08:30 pm (UTC)And yeah, people really do just stand around getting weighed. In Azerbaijan they do it with a scale that yells your weight to passers-by. Can't even imagine such a thing in the US.
That earlier flight saved Gretchen and Meredith's butt, I'm convinced. With the random wanderings, I think those extra two hours saved them from having Phil take their stuff away again.
And a major "hee" to Phil having enough unflattering tank tops to last him forever.
I can't wait for next week.

Date: 2005-04-27 08:37 pm (UTC)Oh, definitely. I swear, dumb luck has saved their asses more times than I can count.
I can't wait for next week.
I know. I can't wait to watch everybody spazz out. (Well, except for Joyce, because, no, sweetie, don't do it! Not to Uchenna!)
