Not surprisingly, tonight's episode was a non-elimination leg of the Race. I knew it was coming, but I had hoped it would come in time to save the Aiellos or Schroeders. Instead, it saved the Godlewski sisters, who feel to the bottom of the pack because Sharon couldn't get a hit off of a Panamanian little leaguer.
Wait! Did I type Panama? I did! You know what that means, the racers actually left the country! What's funny is that even the teams were giddy to be getting out of the States. I'm thinking that this isn't the kind of Race they signed up for.
So anyway, teams traveled to Panama and had to take boats through the Panama Canal and find some guy on an island in a hammock. First, I need to confess that the song "Panama" was in my head for this entire episode. Thanks producers. Second, to get that song out of my head I invented a new song that went a little something like this:
Take me down to Panama City
Where guys named Phil are looking pretty
Oh won't you please take me home
After finding the dude in the hammock teams could a) go for a bungee-jumping fast forward, b) go to a nature preserve and look for wooden birds or c) go to a bunch of music venues and collect instruments.
The Paolos and the Gaghans headed for the fast forward. DJ Paolo sucked it up long enough to do a tandem jump with his Mom and the Paolo family completed an excellent leg with a first place finish. The Gaghans did some backtracking and eventually completed the musical instrument detour.
It looked like the bird detour was a little easier to find, so the teams that did that one (the Weavers & Bransens) made it to the roadblock first. In this roadblock, one member of the team had to get a hit off of a little league pitcher. Rolly Weaver and Beth Bransen made quick work of the roadblock, but not before Ma Weaver could bitch at the other teams for heckling Rolly while he was batting. To me, it sounded like some good natured ribbing. None of the teams can stand the Weavers. If one team doesn't like another team, I can explain it away, but when all of the teams hate a team, they're probably on to something.
Nick Linz and Pa Gaghan also got hits pretty quickly. Unfortunately, poor Sharon Godlewski looked like she would fit right in the 2000 Milwaukee Brewers. That's not good. After god knows how long she finally made it to first base. The Godlewskis obviously knew they were way behind because on the bus ride to the pit stop they put all of their clothes on just in case it was a non-elimination leg. And, it was. As is his new habit, Phil confiscated all of the Godlewski's cash and posession, except the clothes on their back.
Team Standings:
1. Paolo
2. Weaver
3. Bransen
4. Linz
5. Gaghan
6. Godlewski
Next week: there's trouble in Weaverville. Woohoo!
