Team Kentucky --- coalminer David and his wife, Mary --- got the boot at the end of an especially chaotic edition of "Amazing Race: All-Stars" last night. I think they're sweet people and they definitely tried hard, but these guys were simply outclassed this time around. The important thing is that they enjoyed it, and I think they did. When they weren't feeling betrayed that other teams who were their "friends" were actually trying to beat them, that is. Because it is, you know, a race.
Almost every team made some kind of boneheaded navigation error last night. Some you would expect --- the increasingly frazzled Charla and Mirna; the somtimes map-challenged beauty queens. Others took me by surprise. Guido very nearly took itself right out of the race by neglecting to read the clue correctly (second episode in a row that's happened) and even the unstoppable Rob and Amber made a boo-boo here and there. Ultimately Rob and Amber came in first AGAIN, followed by a surging Uchenna and Joyce and Eric and Danielle. I'm totally stunned that that team is doing as well as it is.
