Um, obviously, if you haven’t seen last night’s episode yet, blur your vision and scroll downwards. Thank yewwww.
The Amazing Race just got a lot less “tune-innier” last night, as our favorite team in possibly the history of the series were given that all too familiar gentle “pat on the back or was that a shove to the airport?” by hot be-leathered host Phil Keoghan. That team being… The Harlem Globetrotters. Flight Time and Big Easy. Two of the nicest and most hilarious players to ever grace the game. Sadly, Big Easy missed the mark last night when he had to unscramble the letters R-F-Z-A-N, to reveal FRANZ, as in Franz Kafka, who was no doubt rolling over and over and over in his M.C. Escher grave during last night’s challenge. After “working together” with Dan, who left him in the dust once he himself unscrambled the word, Big Easy instead chose to take a 4 hour penalty rather than simply filling out the form 24 different times, the exact amount of combinations F _ _ _ _ could yield. (Factorial math, don’t fail me now.) After that famous Luggage Lock challenge weeks back, it’s clear that Big Easy’s brain is not as jacked up as his body, or, as it is more commonly known, “exactly.”
Now while it is clear that the Gay Brothers Sam and Dan are this seasons “Worst People Ever,” you can’t really blame them for the Globetrotters’ downfall. Sure, Dan is a f*ckface from space who, even without his “deceptions,” is unbearably annoying and rude. But franzly, Big Easy would not have gotten that clue with or without Dan’s “plan.” Working together when there are only 4 teams in the race is equally as stupid. Big Easy could only have benefited from that: Even getting the letter F was a bonus he would not have gotten otherwise.
Having said that (Larry David, are you out there?), my Mother’s exact quote when the Brothers headed towards the Czech Freezatorium was “I hope they freeze their d*cks off.” Needless to say, they are not making any friends in older Jewish mothers living in Miami.
So, who are we rooting for in next week’s finale? Looks like we have no choice but to place our bets on the blond virgins Megan and Cheyne (They are virgins, right? We kind of assumed.) Them, or Brian and Ericka. Really, ANYONE BUT THE BROTHERS.
Today, let’s look back on the Harlem Globetrotters finest moments. Plus, tell us what you thought of last night’s episode… ahead.
That Big Easy… so adorable.
