The most amazing thing I saw last night on The Amazing Race
Let's just call this the Mirna Comemorative Edition. Although what else can I really say about the Blanche DuBois of TAR5? We've already touched on her apparent gambling problem, her inability to understand the word "race," her puzzling interpretations of various languages and her sheer lunacy, particularly with regard to Collin (which was out again in full force in this episode). There was that one hilarious moment at the beginning of the episode where the editors lingered on a shot of her and Charla, unable to open their first clue envelope. (Bravo again, guys!) But other than that, all I really have to say is that I'll miss her. Yeah, you read that right. I'll miss her. It's essential to have someone to hate during each race, and Mirna was such a good candidate because she was so crazy and stupid that she just made me laugh. Now the only person I have left to hate is Collin, and he just makes me want to throw things.
I do wish Phil hadn't gone on and on about how amazing Mirna is when they were eliminated. Because Charla is the only amazing one here. She was able to run a great race in spite of her limitations (and by "limitations," I don't mean her stature, I mean having been burdened by Mirna). But Mirna? Not so amazing. Unless he meant it like, "Mirna, you are so amazing! Now, why don't you go with these nice gentlemen? Here, let's slip you into this little white jacket..." Have fun in the loony bin, Mirna. Say hello to Omarosa for me.
