b-i-n-g-o!

It's week 3 of the Amazing Race and crazy Asian dad has a hernia that is going to cause problems during the race for sure. The goth couple is still managing to keep up their makeup ritual and the teams are off to West Africa to find the town of Ouagadougu (or something similarly unpronounceable that I have no chance of spelling correctly). Every single teams gets on the same flight and they all end up waiting for the same train, so there's lot of bunching and all the teams are evened up. Most of this week's activities take place in an African town called Bingo.

The first task they finally get to attempt involves milking camels - LOVE IT. You know why? Because not only do they have to milk the camel, they then have to drink the camel milk. And THEN they have to lead the camels down a path. This proves to be pretty damn hilarious if I do say so myself. Camels are screeching, kicking and pooping all over the place. And then there's Lorena who won't stop screeching and screaming herself, kind of like the camels. Good times.

After some interaction with local African students, Azaria & Hendekea end up first at the pit stop to win a trip to Bermuda, and teams 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 all show up within a minute of each other - I don't know if I've ever seen that happen! And SOMEHOW, Lorena and Jason DON'T come in last even though they were a DISASTER on this leg. Alas, it's bye bye to Marianna & Julia, the bitchy sisters from Florida. All in all, a good week in the race!

Next week: Dancing and scandals!
