S36.E07: Walk and Chew Gum Baby

[chitowngirl]

Teams must put on their best performance in Montevideo, Uruguay, when they choose between banging out a drum routine with street performers or singing a Spanish tune with professional troubadours at the detour.

Airs 9:30 ET April 24 on CBS.

[Lantern7]

Phil shilling the app. Eh, the show needs money, I’m not upset. 🤷‍♂️

“Oh, yeah, that coast.”

[nilyank]

Ooh food poisoning. Poor guy.

[Browncoat]

So Group 2 doesn't have Danny, their tour guide, to help them navigate this week.  And they're already lost.

And yet they think they can come in first. 

[Lantern7]

Full credits this week! And we see some of the tasks performed!

[mojoween]

I once had food poisoning on a Friday and left work early the following Monday.  No way I would be able to do anything they are doing on this leg.

[nilyank]

Of course Cesar knows how to weld.

Their welding masks has their names on it.

I love that Amazing Race always has team wearing costumes.

[Browncoat]

Cesar does not know how to weld.  Cesar only thinks he knows how to weld.

Hammer time. HAH.

Psyche!

 

[Browncoat]

Color me shocked!  Vinny can weld!

[dizzyd]

This is the 1st episode with shuffling order.

And so can Rod!

[nilyank]

They don't got it.

[Lantern7]

I like the exasperated look of the dog near Amber & Vinny trying to figure out directions.

Are there any other MST3K fans here? I see the welding, I’m thinking “gentle pressure.”

[Good Queen Jane]

Amber’s dad will now consent to the marriage ( assuming Vinnie and Amber are still together after the Race.)

I know what the dog was thinking. "Learn to read a map."

Also, learn your right from your left.

[alexa]

Is it just me or are the tasks kind of boring this season? I find myself not following very closely and losing interest more than usual.  And the alliance isn’t helping matters.

[Lantern7]

I like how the non-players are wearing protective eyewear even though they’re nowhere near the welding.

[Browncoat]

Phil always looks so good in a hat.

[nilyank]

I would do Murga.

Vinny "I am the only one who knows how to do it."

Ugh.

[Browncoat]

Free Amber!

[nilyank]

"I hope you learn what you are doing."

Shut up.

[dizzyd]

I don’t think Vinny’s success at welding will appeal to Amber’s dad when he keeps racking up the jerk points. Gawd, this guy is toxic!

[Lantern7]

I’m amused by the names on the welding helmets.

Who is Monty Video? 😜

Meanwhile Ricky and Cesar are a lovely couple who are learning more about each other in this race.

Their conversation in the car was so refreshing.

[nilyank]

"You are not trying to be any better."

As opposed to Amber and Vinny. Ugh!

It is hard to be "better" when your teammate is haranguing you.  Shut up, Vinny.

And he thinks he can speak Spanish?  That exchange was terrible.

Excellent costumes!

[MerBearHou]

To be perfectly honest, I find both Vinny and Amber maddening.  They take turns with me.  They are so passive-aggressive with each other, babe.  

[bioprof]

Maybe her teammate wouldn’t be haranguing her if she learned how to drive a stick before the race, learned how to read a map, and learned how to give better directions than “ look to your left and see if you see anything” ….while he’s driving. Sorry, but to spend more than five minutes with her must be exhausting. 

[Browncoat]

"Difficult to get in sync" describes Amber and Vinny to a T.

[nilyank]

They were not in sync? What a surprise.

Let stop at any plaza and maybe we will be lucky.

[Lantern7]

“Now we’re back in Chile.” “What the hell?!?”

[Good Queen Jane]

Do the firefighters not know how to ask for directions?

[nilyank]

They also have an inability to read a map even when they do get directions.

[iMonrey]

Amber and Vinny seem totally over each other in their interview segments. I can't see that relationship lasting much longer after the race is over.

[MerBearHou]

The previews showed the firefighters saying “plaza” about 1800 times!

[bioprof]

The firefighters….OMG. They seem like lovely people but I hope neither drives the fire truck…they’d never find the fire.

[momlyd]

You're a little pitchy, dawg...

[Browncoat]

It's a good thing they don't actually have to be able to carry a tune.  

Sunny and Bizzy finally found the right plaza!  

Nice high kicks and shoulder shimmies!  LOL

[Grizzly]

Caesar cannot sing and he's not hamming it up like Rickey. 

[nilyank]

Ricky was better than Cesar but that was fun.

[Browncoat]

Damn!  Danny and Angie might actually have a chance at first!

[Lantern7]

Anyone else nervous Ricky & Cesar would fall off the stage?

[momlyd]

Oh, Amber.

 

She is finished - with a LOT

[dizzyd]

That was a huge jump for Walla Walla. Damn, I guess I have to credit Danny’s directional supremacy.

[iMonrey]

I think Amber and Vinny might be toast. They look completely defeated in their talking heads.

I would have to do the singing. I have zero rhythm.
