A-fucking-mazing Race

Here there be spoilers, and a post dedicated almost solely to the show. Don't read if you haven't seen it yet, or are Pops. (Ok, fine, even if you are Pops, but don't say I didn't warn you.)

Joyce and Uchenna, the Bald Dynamic Duo, got their shit together, won the race and million dollars, knocking Rawb down a few notches and spanking Ron and Kelly's pansy-asses along the way.

In a non-elimination elimination leg, they were stripped of their money and belongings, and had a good Samaritan give them a ride to the airport so they could beg for money so they could afford a cab to take them to the first challenge. (Why they just didn't have him take them to the challenge, and skip the whole airport thing, I don't understand, but it still made for some good TV.) So, they're wandering around an airport, looking just slightly insane, at around 3 in the morning, asking strangers for money. Oddly enough, that didn't go very well. Business picked up later in the day, after they finished the challenge(s) and were back at the airport during daylight hours. Rawb and Ambuh got on the earliest flight, I can't remember what happened to Ron and Kelly (I can only assume she had to chew on her gum and be irritating, which can be quite time consuming), and Joyce and Uchenna begged and pleaded to get on the same flight as Rawb and Ambuh, and it WORKED. The attendant called the pilot, they wheeled the hallway-connector-thingy (that IS the technical term, I checked) back onto the airplane, and Rawb got his ass metaphorically spanked by Uchenna. That's some good TV, there.

At the very end, they were short maybe $50 for cab fare, and instead of shorting him and bolting through the gate to the finish, they ran around asking people for money till they collected enough. They ran up to the mat minutes before Rawb and Ambuh, reduced everyone to tears, and I want to have their baby. Ok, maybe not, but would love to have them over for dinner ... Naw, that's too much pressure, too, and I'd have to clean ... Fine, okay? I cried. I cried, my faith in humanity and cool people was temporarily restored, and I hope they have a very successful IVF and have lots and lots of bald babies, because they are just ... just ... well, they're millionaires, but very nice ones.

Now it's over, my Tuesdays are open again, Ron and Kelly can go off and be irritating in the privacy of their own homes, and raise your hand if you're planning on watching Rawb and Ambuh tie the knawt? Be honest, now ...
