The Amazing Race 10 (10/15)

Poor David. I can't help but feel for the guy. He spends his days in a hole in the ground, only to emerge to Mary's endless screeching at the end of the day. I think I can see why he says he "loves his job" in his website bio. And why does he run the race? So he can give his family a better life. Super-size the fries, take the kids to Disney World on an airplane, get Mary's teeth brushed, you know...the works!

I hope they can stave off elimination even from their disadvantaged position, but I have a feeling that's going to be near impossible. Mary is an awful big anchor to be dragging around Asia...but these two are turning out to have pretty big hearts at the end of it all. They're looking like pretty decent people next to Peter, who might just get himself dumped before the race even ends by the looks of the dramatic slow-motioned silent head turn by Sarah at the Indian bus stop (the standard Amanzing Race body-language of complete disgust with your partner for 10 seasons running now).

What's on tap next? The Prom Queens vs. the Queen Latifahs...the yin/yang conflict everyone knew was coming! I'll lay my money now on the Alabama Slammers. To lose. I mean come on, Dustin & Kandice have been forged into fierce competitors by all those pageants, right? They aren't going to tape those breasts together unless they mean business!

With Edwin & Godwin left as the last team of "intellectuals" (brilliant move with that fake cell phone that got two other teams inspired to call ahead and land an earlier flight than them), this is looking like anyone can win it. The male model/junkies aren't looking dominant...and in fact, got a little more glassy-eyed than I would have liked reminiscing about their heroin shooting days. I'm thinking that Rob & Kimberly were amazingly low key in the last episode...a stark contrast from that hellacious boat-screaming they put on each other in Vietnam. They can't possibly keep themselves composed long enough to contend for the win...can they? Only the Tivo will tell...
