Amazing Race: Team Crazy Pulls Ahead

ARGH!! Everytime I think Charla-Smirchna are going down, they get a lucky break and escape elimination.

Not only did they escape elimination, the managed to come in first! Now we're all doomed to listen to their self-righteous prattle as they pat themselves on the back.

They didn't even bring the crazy this week. Just more atrocious fake accents.

As for the race, the teams had to hike around a ski resort and find a clue marked with an avalache tracer.

Here the Beauty Queens once again failed to read their clue and had to go back for their tools. This is a rookie mistake and they've done it twice now. Fortunately for them, the Cubans couldn't figure out how to find their clue.

Then the racers flew to Mozambique, and used trained rats to find hidden land mines. How cool is that?! Those were some of the biggest rats I have ever seen.

As for the next challenge, I'm surprised so many of them decided to haul coal. Any task where you have to sell stuff in a market gets done really fast. I'm guessing it's easy to draw customers when you're walking around with a camera crew.

My favorite part was when the Cubans, covered in coal dust and sweat, made it to the pit stop, and one of them chased Phil around the fort, trying to give him a hug.

That made my week.

So, what do you think? Will Uchenna and Joyce make it in first? Will Team Crazy EVER go home? From the previews, it looks like frat boy and girl get kicked off a plane, so I'm guessing Team Crazy is here to stay.

Sigh.
