The most amazing thing I saw last night on The Amazing Race
I had to change the name of this feature again since many of the things I saw last night cannot be described in such one-dimensional terms as "best" or "stupid." No, they are "amazing," for a variety of reasons.
1. Steve and Dave, along with David and Jeff (whoooo? [tm Miss Alli]) thinking they could make a one-hour flight connection between Orly and Charles de Gaulle. From my experience, you'd be cutting it close to make a one-hour connection within the same airport (especially in a huge airport like de Gaulle), not to mention trying to get across the city of Paris. I don't know who told them that was a good idea, but whoever it was is seriously deluded.
2. Jon (of Jon-and-Kelly fame) comparing picking up live eels to touching "a slippery penis." As with the orgasm metaphor last week, this lets me know a little more about Jon's extra-curricular activities than I really cared to.
3. Millie and Chuck doing the Fast Forward at a windmill that just happened to be called the Molen van Sloten. Seriously, did they pick that on purpose and then somehow delay Millie and Chuck so they would be the ones who did the Fast Forward? Because that is almost too perfect. Perhaps "Molen van Virgin" would have been a little more appropriate, but "van Sloten" just adds that little touch of irony, don't you think? From now on, I'm referring to Millie as "Molen van Sloten."
