Amazing Race: Bilal & Sa’eed and Vipul & Arti Eliminated

Well, my dumb ass forgot that the Amazing Race 10 season premier was on tonight so I missed the first 15 or so mins of the show and didn’t take any notes on the show. Boooo. I also forgot that a new Simpsons was on that was going to feature one of my favorite bands, The White Stripes, which really sucks.

Anyways, I’ll give a very brief recap of the premier episode of Amazing Race 10 as best I can, and by very brief, I mean very. 🙂

Everyone started off somewhere in Washington state, I think Seattle, and the first leg of the race was to get to Seatac airport and catch a flight to Beijing China.

Once everyone arrived in China they were set out to find thr Golden House restaraunt where 1 member of each team had to eat the eyeballs out of 3 stewed fish heads, for a total of 6 fish eyeballs each. Ewwwwwwwww.

After they finished the eating challenge all teams took a ww2 motorbike w/ sidecar to a market where that got the first Detour, choosing between Labour and Leisure. The labor challenge required each team to take a penny cab 1 mile where they would lay stones as part of a walk way in a specific pattern, which turned out to be pretty hard and looked rather difficult, actually. The Leisure challenge required a 2 mile penny cab trip to a square/monestary/something rather where each team must learn a specific set of Tai Chi movements, completing them together and correctly before being allowed to move onto the next leg of the race.

Once each team finished the Labor or Leisure challenges, each team hopped in a cab to the great wall of china where they had to scale the side of the wall and run a few feet to hit the closing marker for the first portion of the race. The last team to arrive at the location were Vipul & Arti, though they were the second team eliminated, as Bilal & Sa’eed were eliminated when they came in last for an earlier challenge.

So, here we are, the official first episode is over and the season has no kicked off. I’m looking forward to this season, it looks to be quite an interesting crew and I’ve already taken a liking to a few of the teams. It’s going to be a good.

Stay tuned for more Amazing Race 10 recaps.
