The most amazing thing I saw last night on The Amazing Race
OK. I know I missed the first two seasons of this show, so I have not had the privilege of seeing the full range of country-specific greeters; however, I feel safe in saying that last night’s greeter was the most amazing one ever. (And I think the Amazing Editors agree with me, given that they showed his greeting several times instead of just the usual one.) First, there was the big whip crack after Phil announced the impending elimination. Then there was the boisterous greeting itself: “Welcome to Budapest! HUN-gary!” It made me really want to go to Budapest, just so I can walk around going, “Welcome to Budapest! HUN-gary!” It would be like when Bri and I went to the Grand Canyon and we walked around going, “Billions of years ago!” from that episode of Friends were Ross took Rachel to the planetarium to sleep with her for the first time. Come to think of it, I should probably take Bri with me to Hungary, because it seems like she would get a kick out of walking around going, “Welcome to Budapest! HUN-gary!” even if she had not seen this episode of The Amazing Race.
Also, I didn’t think it was possible for Kris to get any more adorable, but she proved me wrong when, on the rail car, she turned to Jon and exclaimed, “Ooh, it’s all vibrate-y!” with this cute little smile. Hee!
Oh, and memo to Freddy: If Jonathan’s telling you to calm down…well, that’s just not a good sign. But I did end up feeling sorry for the guy by the end of the episode. I mean, he ate his own vomit, which makes me want to vomit just thinking about it. Like, seriously. Ew. There are probably only a few things I wouldn’t do for a chance at a million dollars, but that would definitely be one of them.
