The Amazing Race 16: Final 3 Jet & Cord, Dan & Jordan, Brent & Caite

UPDATE: Jet & Cord come in 2nd. Dan & Jordan 1st to the finish line in Candlestick Park.

The cowboys, Jet & Cord better come in 1st on Sunday or it'll be another bad ending of The Amazing Race.

It will be a particularly bad ending if the dumb models, Brent & Caite win.

Less bad if Dan & Jordan win. Though I did find Dan & Jordan's meltdowns, in Shanghai, to be embarrassing and annoying, with both of them losing it in frustration in a taxi. And with Jordan losing it over the simple detour task of looking for his name on a ink stamp carving.

But the worst is Brent & Caite. Over and over and over again Caite's goes on about how she's proven to the world, by her imaginary stellar Amazing Race performance, that she is not the moronic idiot she showed herself to be in her infamous beauty pageant "such as" answer to a question.

Pretty much every time Caite reminds us how highly intelligent she really is, she does, or says, something stupid. Like, while looking for ink stamps Brent desperately needs a potty break. He is in such misery he can't concentrate. He tells Caite over and over again he needs to go to the bathroom.

Due to the rules, both have to be within a set distance of their cameraman, so, Brent could not take off by himself to find a restroom.

Eventually dimwit Caite figured out that it was hurting their effort to have Brent not concentrating, so she relented and let him have his bathroom break.

The detectives, Michael & Louis, over and over again bragged about what great detectives they were, only to be shown failing in an epic way. Like teaming with Dan & Jordan to look for the Water Bridge, with Michael saying he'd be able to detect it from on high. Then spying some random clothes and thinking they might be hiding the clue.

And Michael & Louis having trouble finding their ink stamps. They did do well at the Speed Bump, though. It didn't involve any sleuthing, just throwing coins in a hole.

Cord & Jet struggled a bit this episode. Communicating with the Chinese was a challenge for all the teams. Cord & Jet and Brent & Caite got the Pitstop clue at about the same time. It appeared that Cord & Jet got to the Pitstop location in 1st place, but then went the wrong direction on the boardwalk, while Brent & Caite went the correct direction and came in 1st.

Next week it appears the final destination city is San Francisco. Rumors abound on the internet that something happens of a confrontational sort at the race's end. Not between the Final 3, but between eliminated racers waiting for the Final 3.

Or maybe it will be something do to with one of the Final 3 teams. Something between Caite and her arch enemies, Carol & Brandy, the girl's nasty Caite calls the Mean Lesbians?

The Amazing Race 16: Episode 9: Dan & Jordan Fast Forward to Pitstop, Brent & Caite U-Turn Carol & Brandy

Dumb & Nasty Mean Beauty Queen Caite and her equally Bone-Headed boy friend, Brent, U-Turned Carol & Brandy, who the Dumb & Bone-Headed referred to, constantly, as the Mean Lesbians. This ended Carol & Brandy's run on The Amazing Race.

As Carol & Brandy, full names, Carol Rosenfeld & Brandy Snow, neared Phil, on their way to elimination at the Pitstop, Brandy was letting loose with some choice vitriol directed at the Nasty Mean Beauty Queen, including the suggestion that YouTube be used to view the Mean Beauty Queen's infamously idiotic answer to being asked why she thought so many Americans could not locate the United States on a map.

Brent & Caite's full names are Brent Horne & Caite Upton.

I'd not heard Caite's special Beauty Pageant Moment before. I now have. I took Brandy's suggestion and found a YouTube video. She is even dumber than I realized. Over 47 million people have viewed this moment of historically significant idiocy.

Brother's Dan & Jordan Pious provided some amusement as they Fast Forwarded to the top of the Singapore Flyer, it being the tallest ferris type wheel in the world. Jordan is mortified of heights, but he manned it up and crawled from one Flyer pod to the next, from the highest point, 541 feet above the ground.

I must say, Singapore is looking really good. The Amazing Race did a much better job this time at giving viewers a good look at Singapore.

Like I said, the Mean & Nasty kids U-Turned Carol & Brandy, which made them have to do the Ice Cream Sandwich Detour after successfully completed the Boring Drum Detour.

The Sandwich & Drums were followed with a boring Roadblock where the links on an anchor chain had to be counted. First to the Roadblock was Brent & Caite. Brent chose to count. I was sure there was no way he'd be able to count to 521. But he did. On the first try. As did all the teams.

This made the Mean Nasty Pair second to the Pitstop, after completing one more task, that being riding the Mega Zip on Sentosa Island. The 1,200 foot long zipline looked fun.

The McCoy boys, Jet & Cord, made it to the Pitstop in 3rd, after riding the Mega Zip without their cowboy hats, which then mysteriously showed up as soon as they were finished zipping.

The annoying, supposed Rhode Island detectives, Michael Naylor & Louie Stravato, came in 4th.

That left Carol & Brandy in last and eliminated.

Before previews of the next episode, Jet & Cord did a promo for the Country Music Awards Show, next Sunday, thus putting off The Amazing Race for 2 weeks.
