Previously on the Race, the cowboys went from worst to first, which was awesome, but the WFC succumbed to whiny decision changing and were elimiated. Kind of like the real Phillies. I guess it’s cowboys or nothing.
Welcome to Malaysia. Known for making me too lazy to look up anything up about it, this was the eighth pit stop…in a racearoundtheworld. Jet and Cord get the honor of gambling on pronunciation, and it’s Singapore. They really dodged a bullet on that one. When they get to their destination, teams are to find the host of…TAR Asia? Does he do the eyebrow pop? Because if he doesn’t, that show ain’t winning any Asian Emmys.
It turns out the train to Singapore is a big bunch, which makes sense since there’s a U-Turn ahead. General dislike for the lesbians brews, which, if it continues to be a story line in this episode, pretty much foreshadows them winning.
The Half Gay Brothers find the over-energetic Allan Wu first and get the first stab at the Fast Forward, which, while totally safe, might actually terrify me. They have to ride to the top of a ridiculous ferris wheel then climb across it. No thanks. They finish it largely without incident and finish in first.
The other teams choose between rhythm, which they’re all too white to do, and selling ice cream sandwiches. The cops recognize their lack of rhythm and bail in favor of the Fast Foward, which is always a bad decision if you aren’t the first team out of the chute. Once they see that the Fast Forward is in progress, they turn back towards the detour, only to see that their cab driver has disappeared. Well, that was predictable. Once he returns, they opt to play Fudgy Wudgy men.
Back at the drum Detour, whiteness abounds and almost all the teams debate switching to the ice cream task, which the cops bang out quickly. Such As, meanwhile, finish the drum task and make their way to U-Turning the lesbi…I mean, the Road Block.
Surprise, surprise, they U-Turn the lesbians. Their bitterness in the interviews suggests that it worked.The Road Block involves counting, so people should have ample time to catch up to Such As; people like the cowboys, who finish their Detour, just as we cut to the lesbians and their continued meltdown.
You know what? I don’t care if they use white bread; I want a Singapore ice cream sammich.
Going against type, Such As finish their Road Block quickly (they wisely selected Brent to do the counting), and the task continues on mostly First In, First Out, which means that the lesbians finish the Road Block last, arrive at the mat last, and are Philiminated. Suddenly, with them gone, the rest of the teams are 50% more tolerable.
Next week: teleportation! Lasers! Just kidding…no episode next week.
