S36.E03: It’s Not Over Til Phil Sings

[chitowngirl]

Teams climb the stairs to the top of El Peñon de Guatapé in Colombia to find their clue and begin the third leg of the race.

[Browncoat]

Oooh, what pretty umbrellas!

[Lantern7]

Damn, so much for trying to calculate average times of departure.

Oh, Phil. He’s even cool when he’s shilling.

[Browncoat]

But I'm not sure about this Expedia-designed adventure.

[dizzyd]

This climb is killer!

[Pepper the Cat]

Ack! That’s a lot of stairs!

[Browncoat]

Probably just as well that Chris and Mary were eliminated last episode.  Walla Walla mom is really going to struggle, I think.  And so would I!  My knees would never forgive me after all those steps.

Steve watching at home, suffering PTSD from his epic climb.

"It's a whole lot of damned stairs."

No kidding.

The umbrella town was pretty and colorful.

[Lamb18]

Good thing Chris doesn't have to climb those stairs.

[WatcherUp2]

My knees are shrieking in agony just seeing those steps.

[dizzyd]

Wow, a cooking challenge, that’s new! I’m happy almost everyone is choosing it.

[Pepper the Cat]

Do they have to walk back down?

[Lantern7]

They broke out the grannies for this Detour!

If they do it right, it is delicious.

[Browncoat]

They really should pace themselves on those steps instead of starting off so quickly.

[nilyank]

 

After those steps, I would cook too and then eat.

[Browncoat]

Aww.  Tough day -- do the race for grandma.  

[Ladybugnine]

Those are speed boats?

[WatcherUp2]

The mother/son team didn't even look winded after that climb, although she did pause a few times on the way up.

[Good Queen Jane]

Why would anyone terrified of heights ever go on The Amazing Race?

[nilyank]

I do like the cooking challenge requires real teamwork to get things done.

[Browncoat]

Bad taxi karma even with water taxis!  That sucks for mom and son.

[nilyank]

Have they shown Yvonne and Melissa? Which group are they in?

This is the one team that I can never remember being shown during the show.

[Grizzly]

Caesar is a chef. I wonder if he's been on the Food Network? I keep feeling like I've seen him on something before.

[Quilt Fairy]

And the Amazing Yellow Line makes a dual appearance!  First with the flight and then with the water taxis. 

The statement that they have to choose a water taxi and cannot switch makes me think something is going to happen. 

That's a lot of damn food for one meal. It looks like the Colombian version of a full English breakfast. 

[Browncoat]

Heh, "Do you know how to read?"

[mojoween]

Dang when they showed the cooking detour I was really hoping for an Argentinian-type Meatblock.

[nilyank]

Another funny mode of transportation.

[Browncoat]

Oh dear.  Perhaps the vegan and vegetarian non-cooks should switch detours.

[PaperTree]

The veggie women are hilarious!

[Lantern7]

Is it bad that I’m a little bored? Maybe because I can’t smell the cooked food. Right now, I want to skip to the breakdown shown in the commercials.

[Pepper the Cat]

If no one knows how to cook meat you might want to switch detours

[WatcherUp2]

I'm fascinated by the Land of Overloaded Vehicles.

[Lantern7]

The cousins aren’t switching. Dunno if that’s the best idea.

[Browncoat]

And in other news, hot food is hot.

[Good Queen Jane]

Do the Pinks love everybody?

[nilyank]

I want some chicharron

Yup, READ THE CLUE.

[Browncoat]

Hey, twins, one Willys is still a Willys, not a willie.

[Lantern7]

At least the twins know they’re not smart.

Awwww . . . random hound!

[nilyank]

If you are going to switch, just do it.

[Pepper the Cat]

Are the twins high?

I know! Why all the hemming and hawing? This is a race!

[Browncoat]

Poor twins.  "We suck."

[nilyank]

Omg, there is no way the twins last.

[Browncoat]

Maybe they had their own personal detour somewhere else in Colombia...

[WatcherUp2]

The twins (with not a complete brain between them) have officially gotten on my last nerve with the spaced-out schtick.

[dizzyd]

Yay, was hoping for a coffee challenge.

[Browncoat]

Picking coffee cherries is better than trying to find one red one in a giant pile.

[WatcherUp2]

Has Phil ever eliminated a team mid-challenge to put everyone (especially the audience) out of their misery?
