A brief recap from last episode showed Luke saying “calling a deaf guy a bitch is not nice”. Okay, that may be so.. but they were calling him a bitch, because he was a pussy bitch. Ain’t nothing to do with his deafness. And all these talk about handicapable people demanding equality and stuff… that, my friend, does not give one a free pass to become an asshole and a total momma’s bitch boy. All these Luke supporters out there, I can’t help but think they’re just trying to be all PC about it. A bitch is still a bitch whether s/he’s deaf or not.
Anyway, teams fly out from Beijing to Shanghai.. minor airport drama, and once again, Luke pulling a Chris Brown on one of the girls upon arrival in Shanghai. Once there teams head to a detour where one must endure a 10 minute foot massage. I didn’t think that would be out of the ordinary, until I saw the pained expressions on their faces. Is it really THAT bad? Wow.
After the detour team quickly head to a Natatorium for a roadblock where they had to choose between (1) sink - where they had to participate in synchrinized diving, or (2) swim - where they had to go on a 100m x 4 swim relay. That fucking Michael Phelps plug-in was as almost as cheesy as the product placements in TARA. Shame on you, TAR peeps. I’m no expert at swimming (and I’ve never ever attempted diving before), but I was totally laughing my ass off when I saw Jen/Keisha leap frogged off the diving board. Hilarious. Although I must give kudos to Jen for actually not bailing on the roadblock (unlike a certain F/F team in TARA3 at the Final 4 challenge - unforgiveable that one).
So Jaime/Cara were praying they were the first ones to reach the pitstop.. and they were! Only to have Phil tell them that it was a non-elimination leg. Burn.
