Amazing Race: Dumb And Dumber Race to The End
Episode 7 Commentary by Jessi K.
November 10, 2008

Teams began this leg of the race by saying buh-bye to the Baha’i and dashing off to the Deshbandhu apartments for the most colorful road block in Amazing Race history. Nick and Starr were first followed by Kelly and Christy, who proclaimed in the cab on the way to the task, “I don’t think in India hair down is going to work.” I don’t think hair in India works period, Christy. Have you seen Gandhi? After their 2nd place finish, the girls were obviously feeling confident as they began to cheerfully discuss whether or not they’d make out with Dan or Andrew. “Who’s to say that they’d make out with the two of you?” I wondered aloud. OK, so they both totally would. But still.
Once at gate four of the Deshbandhu apartments, teams had to wade through being pelted with colored powdered dye and water in order to climb a ladder and find one of six marked clues. Starr was through first and as she searched for the clue, clouds of purple, orange, and pink “smoke” swarmed around her. My mouth actually watered as I watched for I imagined the colored powder to taste like Pixie Stix. I would’ve run through that detour with my mouth open. But from all the spitting, I gather it did not taste like a rainbow.
Starr made it through pretty unscathed but the crowd seemed to warm up and by the time Kelly had arrived, they were ready for her. Standing as if in a Soul Train line, they bombarded her in a rainbow riot of red, green, yellow, orange, and pink. I must’ve rewound this scene nearly four times to see the colors being subtracted off of her. She went from clean to chimney sweep in about five seconds. The rhinestone Texas longhorn on her shirt did anything but sparkle after just one attempt at finding the clue. (Though, amazingly her teeth still did.)
Even more amazing was the fact that Christy and Kelly weren’t able to read their clue again. Isn’t there some type of literacy test to be on the Amazing Race? Kelly thought she had to grab one envelope and run it back to her partner to open to see if it was right or not. Were the words TRY AGAIN written on each envelope not big and bold enough?! These two never cease to amaze me. Or rather, they never amaze me. I can’t help but wonder how long it took the two of them to figure out where to sign their divorce papers.
While Christy coached Kelly through the detour, Terence and Sarah arrived. In deciding who would participate in the detour, the word “babe” was uttered between them eight times. This was more than it was even used in the entire film “Babe: Pig in the City.” Terence said he would perform the task and in order to pump himself up for it, he asked Sarah, “Who’s my girl?” She replied, “You are! I mean, I am!” Her first answer was very telling. I think she’s used to answering questions from him like, “Who’s the best?” “Who’s the prettiest?” “Who’s the fastest?” “Who’s better at opening envelopes?”
Dan and Andrew also arrived before Christy and Kelly could figure out the task. Dan compared the road block to a “wild rave party” minus the hot blondes. He said it was more like a “sausage fest of guys” in which the women never showed up. I immediately thought it must’ve felt just like his frat house then. Welcome home, Dan! At this point, I began to wonder who was harder to stomach: Dan or Terence.
But just as I questioned that very thought, Terence whined to Sarah, “that was the most physically demanding difficult thing I have ever seen.” Covered in pink powdered dye, he looked sun burnt sitting next to her. As he hacked and spit in the back of their cab, Sarah wasn’t sympathizing enough for him and he proceeded to show her the color of his saliva: “Like I am spitting out the color, look!” And for the first time ever, Sarah turned away in disgust. There is hope for her yet.
After Christy and Kelly finally.....
