Amazing Race

I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting the feeling that this season's contestants aren't the brightest bulbs on the tree.

This makes me think that the race will go to the smart teams, either the geeks (who I'm cheering for), the bro/sis team, or the bitter estranged couple that are trying to save their marriage.

The rampant stupidity does make for some good television.

This week, the teams were still in Brazil, and for the detour they had to choose between rolling a boat into the sea using the traditional rolling log method, or finding a specific cargo container in the city's enormous port.

This led to our first awesome duh moment of the night, where the Texas divorcees, after finally getting their boat to the water, started freaking out about "finding the container" despite the fact that other teams had already finished their boat rolling and were running for the taxis.

These two gals, on the other hand, ran around the beach looking for the non-existent container, going so far as to dig madly in the wet sand around the little Amazing Race flag.

After they finally caught on, they vowed to read the clues thoroughly, and then walked straight out to the next challenge without telling their cab to wait, even though the clue specifically told them to.

You gotta love a reality show where reading comprehension plays such a vital role.
