OOOOOH, I am so frustrated right now.
We started back in Spain, and headed up to France, followed
by a final leg in New York city. But who
was there?
I’m gonna run this a bit differently thatn I normally do,
but I want to keep you in suspense!
We started out with Trey
and Lexi leaving first, James and
Jaymes in second, Josh and Brent in
third, and The Twins last. Once they all get to France, there is a lot
of trash talking between the Twins and Josh and Brent, and alliance making
between all the teams but Josh and Brent.
The Twins were bunched until the first clue, where they ran
into their speedbump, which separated them from everyone else.
That is, until they got to the detour, where they ran back
into Josh and Brent. Unfortunately, the
Twins fell behind again, while Jaymes and James, and Trey and Lexi busted their
behinds and got out ahead of both of them.
Josh and Brent nearly got themselves out of it again when
they had navigation issues getting to the detour, and the Twins made it to the
Roadblock before them. The Twins actually
managed to leave the Roadblock ahead of Josh and Brent, but had their own
navigational issues, and so the Twins made it to the final pit stop in last
place, and were eliminated.
And then, I lost interest.
I mean, I adore the Chippendales, but there was no way they were going
to win, even with the hapless Josh and Brent in the running.
So, they all flew to NYC, and had to get to Coney Island
looking for an actual hidden clue on a Houdini poster. Trey and Lexi found it first, followed by Josh
and Brent. The Chippendales took their
sweet time locating it, but finally did in last.
All the teams had to head to a bungie jumping challenge tied
with a straight jacket challenge, and all the teams finished with little to no
issue(beyond Trey being hugely scared of heights), and they were off to the
first pizzeria in New York.
The teams had to deliver, by memory, three orders that were
already prepared. Trey and Lexi did it
with no problems, but Josh and Brent failed on two of the orders. Unfortunately for the other teams, the owner
TOLD them which ones, and had more pizzas ready to go. Least consequential error ever. All it really did was give The Chippendales a
chance to catch up, leading to all three teams…
Making to the effing UN building right about the same
time. The final memory challenge was
correctly matching hello’s and goodbye’s to the correct flag. And suddenly, all the subtitles at the pit
stop greeters make sense.
Apparently, none of the teams thought to keep the languages
in mind, so every single one of them floundered around uselessly for over two
and a half hours. Finally, Josh and
Brent(!) finished first, and took off, followed shortly by the Chippendales,
and we had a race to the finish!
And the winner of Amazing Race 21 is…
JOSH AND BRENT!
And that is why I am so frustrated. They should not have won. They didn’t win a single leg through the rest
of the race, and didn’t finish above third place, ever. I really hope a stronger team wins next time,
and that these two never come across my radar ever again.
Finishing order(average
place)
1. Josh and Brent(4.58)
2. James and Jaymes(3.08)
3. Trey and Lexi(3.67)
4. Natalie and Nadyia(3.27)-eliminated
