After a week off The Amazing Race returns with the final five teams still in Thailand, this time Bangkok. Tammy and Victor were out first and remembered going from first to last in leg three, could they have some deja vu this time around? The reds were out next and once again one of them freaked out about the language issue. They didn’t think their taxi was real and flipped out on a taxi who told them it was. At the airport Tammy/Victor found out they can’t make reservations until the morning, allowing everyone to catch up of course. This episode already has a ton of flashbacks in the first five minutes, first Tammy/Victor now the fainting scene from Margie. When morning approached it was time for all five teams to get the same flight to Bangkok, where Margie/Luke leaped into first. Jen/Kisha passed them in the taxi, making for more taxi drama as their taxi didn’t know where to go. While Kisha/Jen’s taxi kept going, Margie/Luke’s stopped for directions. Kisha realized what happened with Margie/Luke giving wrong directions, showing just how manipulative the pair can be.
The rest of the teams also had some taxi drama as they were either too slow or not passing people. Margie/Luke then laded at the boat yard first where they found a Road Block. They had to select one teammate to attack a propeller to a boat for their next clue. Margie chose to do it as did Jaime, I think. Margie had an easy time putting the propeller on while crazy Jaime freaked out that the propeller didn’t understand her English. With her propeller on, Margie/Luke had to lead the driver to a clue box marked on a map. Tammy/Victor and Mark/Mike arrived next with Victor and one of the brothers taking the task. Jaime was still doing the task when the teams arrived but finished just in time to not scream at them. Kisha and Jen arrived following the Jaime/Cara run to the taxi, leaving three teams at the boat dock.

Last weeks Amazing Race 13 ended in India and this week did as well. Following the non-elimination leg all teams knew that someone was going home and the pressure was on for Ken and Tina especially. Leaving the pit stop the next morning the teams had to find an apartment building in New Deli that would give them their first task for the day. Nick and Starr landed at the Road Block first and read us the challenge. What one teammate had to do was run through an Indian festival, climb a latter, find a clue and return to their teammate. It sounds simple but oh was it crazy. The festival involved hurling colored powder and water at others, especially the racers. Each racer got pelted as they ran throughout the crowd and even some who weren’t doing the Road Block got painted as well!
Starr decided to do the Road Block for the siblings and she completed it rather quickly got surely got painted! As they read their clue one of the festival goers ran up to Nick and painted him with pink powder. They quickily left the area and were off to their next task. Toni/Dallas arrived next, beating out Kelly/Christy, and Dallas was able to quickily find the clue. He and Toni were then off to their next task at the Bird Hospital as well. Kelly and Christy arrived at the festival next and didn’t read their clue….. again. Kelly decided to do take the task, assuming that she had to run through the crowd and pull the clues one at a time and return to Christy. The task was actually to stay at the clues, find the right one and then return but by assuming she had to pull them one by one Kelly lost valuable time.

Posted by REALITY REHASH on July 28, 2008 under I Love Money, VH1
On the last I Love Money a love triangle forced the game into more drama then its seen before. But on the latest outing the show went overboard with maneuvers and game play never seen before on a VH1 show. I’m surprised how much like Survivor and Big Brother the show is becoming and its adding a lot to it for sure. When the next morning after Heat’s removal comes, 12 Pack realizes his best friend is gone and it forces him to play the game. He decides to align with over half the other team, asking them to throw the challenge and he’ll vote out White Boy. 12 Pack knows, or thinks he knows, that he can do this since he wants to be captain for the next round. After approaching Boston, Brandi and Megan, 12 Pack’s plan gets a green light as they agree to align and agree to throw the challenge to get their teammate Whiteboy out of the house.
When the house gets the call for the challenge the captains are locked in. 12 Pack is easily chosen for the Gold Team while Chance steps up as captain for the Green Team. At a local soccer course the challenge is explained and everyone learns that Hottie’s stupidity is the basis of the challenge. On the Flavor of Love the girls were asked to cook an entire chicken for Flave’s mom. Hottie was the only one to microwave her chicken, causing a bit of a salmonella issue as it wasn’t cooked….. at all. For I Love Money that moment was fitted to a chicken capitulate mission that was split into two parts. After three teammates put together the catapult, the remaining four would have to catch five chickens using aprons. The first team to get five chickens on the dinner table would win and send one of the opposing members house.
On the Green Team the challenge throwing started early with Boston and Megan being two of the three members to build the catapult. They worked, or lack therefore, with Chance who basically put the catapult together himself. Over on the Gold Team was 12 Pack, Pumpkin and Toastee putting together the catapult. They worked well together and quickly put their slinging machine together, just as they planned it. While the Gold Team slung their chickens into the air, quickly catching three, the Green Team finally got theirs together. After quickly catching two it was obvious the plan might fail but Boston secretly screwed up a few chickens, forcing the team to go down hill from there. In the end the Gold Team just squeaked out a win. The only interesting part from the catchers was Rodeo getting slapped in the face by a flying chicken. She laughed it off with her famous cackle but since they won she didn’t seem to care too much.
Since the plan went as well…. planned most of the Green Team were happy with the loss. Only the Stallionaires were a bit angry and WhiteBoy seemed to realize the challenge was thrown. Chance and Whiteboy then went to intimidate Boston, hoping he would reveal their plan but he played sick, once again, and they left him alone after a few pranks. Once the two guys left him alone, Boston decided to celebrate with Brandi who just happened to be showering at the time. She didn’t like Boston joining her and it ended with a scream from Brandi and a laugh from Megan who was standing just outside.
While Brandi and Boston spent some not so fun time in the shower, Whiteboy took the time to talk to to Megan and wanted to see if the team threw the challenge. She says that she didn’t throw it but Whiteboy sees through her. He knows he’s on the chopping block and tried to make Megan realize that they had to keep the strong. That little chat seemed to flop Brandi’s thoughts as she agreed with him and agreed to Boston, Brandi and Destiney going up on the chopping block. The two then created a new alliance but if Brandi pulled through Whiteboy would have to do the same for her next time. Not sure exactly how that would happen since if Brandi doesn’t go into the Box next time then Whiteboy will have to put a stallionare in there. I really don’t see that happening.
The next morning Megan warns Brandi but basically told her to put herself in the box. She didn’t say much and just agreed to it but Boston didn’t. When Brandi told Boston that he may go in he didn’t take it to easily and wondered why she was going against the plan. When it was time to go into the vault, everyone voted for Boston/Brandi/Destiney to be up for elimination. Although Destiney and Brandi took the news easily, Boston didn’t. He grabbed his check in hopes of running the 15 minute time limit out and he almost pulled through with it. Following that little spat from Boston, Brandi easily put her check in while Destiney wouldn’t do it. Whiteboy grabbed at Boston, forcing the host to come in to stop any type of fight. After Destiney puts hers in more drama goes down as Boston still won’t put his in. With only 54 seconds left the check goes in the box and all hell breaks loose. Boston freaks on everyone, screaming at both Megan and Brandi. It wasn’t pretty and is hands down one of the biggest freak outs of any VH1 show.
Following the reveal of the three nominees to the Green Team Boston wanted to leave but its 12 Pack and the power outing that makes him stay. After crying for a few minutes he gave in and went to lunch. All 12 Pack wanted to do was find out who turned on who and he jumped right into things. While the girls were giving their side of the story Boston moved away from the table but he had a reason to. Brandi revealed she was the one who turned by voting for Boston and t seems pretty clear she’ll be going home. When he could choose one person to spend time with 12 Pack chose Boston. The two are friends and he trust Boston but his actions seem kind of strange to him. One thing came from the chat and that was Boston didn’t vote for WhiteBoy, which could have possibly saved him as Destiney also had three.
Back at the house 12 Pack called a team meeting to see who his team wanted to be kicked out. Although he wanted a team vote, 12 Pack revealed that he gave Destiney his word to keep her in. Pumpkin and Toastee didn’t agree with that as he wanted a team vote yet wouldn’t vote out Destiney if they wanted to. They claim that he wanted to vote out the biggest competitor out of the three and his mind flips when he realizes that. Pumpkin realizes that 12 Pack wants to keep Destiney as she’s “dating” Entertainer and flips out in her normal way. After slamming the door about 20 times Pumpkin pulls out another famous quote which I won’t mention here in hopes of keeping this as PG as possible.
At the elimination it was time for 12 Pack to choose either Brandi, Boston or Destiney to bounce. When allowed to give a few words before 12 Pack chose, Brandi opened up about throwing the challenge. Boston didn’t reveal at first that he threw the challenge but after Brandi told everyone about the plan Boston opened up to say that Megan was involved as well. The two kiddies, Brandi and Boston, continued to fight calling each other names which kind of caused 12 Pack to give Destiney her check first. With that there were two left to go: Brandi and Boston. In the end 12 Pack chose to save Brandi, forcing Boston’s check to bounce. Although the two were friends it is a game and Boston was forced to leave the mansion and the game.
