The Amazing Race 4, Episode 6: Packed to the Gills - Literally!

Jon & Kelly get to the Roadblock next and Kelly tells Jon before the clue is even opened that he will be doing it. I love her. Jon reads the Roadblock and hurries to get the fish. Meanwhile, Reichen & Chip are racing to the pit stop with the Goats. Both look like they are going to be first, but the Goats just barely beat Reichen & Chip. They find out they have won a seven day cruise for winning this leg of the Race. Lucky. Anyway, Reichen & Chip check in immediately after as team number two. Jon finishes gathering the fish and heads to the start. Kelly is cheering him on as they find out they have completed it and head for the pit stop. Just as they’re leaving, Chillie arrive with the Clowns right behind them. A few seconds later, the Models are there too. Tian, Chuck, and Al all run to complete the Roadblock. All three come back to the start with the wrong fish. Chuck needs 10 more palai, Jon 12, and Tian 6. All run back in to try again. Meanwhile, Jon & Kelly arrive at the pit stop and are team number 3. I’m so happy they are getting along much better. They look so good together.

Chuck comes back with more fish and finds out he has the right ones this time. Chillie head for the pit stop. Jon also finally completes it and the Clowns head off as well. Tian is struggling, but eventually gets back to the start where Jaree is cheering her on. They are told they are good as well and rush off to the pit stop. Jaree says that Tian is being nicer to her and that makes her want to work harder and faster. That’s good. Tian really redeemed herself from last week. I like them again; in fact, I’m making them sentimental favorites! The Supremes finally get to the Roadblock and Monica struggles as she performs it. They finish it and head to the pit stop knowing they are going to need a miracle to stay in the Race at this point.

Chillie check in fourth and are happy. The Models are fifth and are also ecstatic. They say they are working better together and want to win. Wow, I really hated them when the Race began, but I have come to appreciate them. The Clowns are team number six and they are also happy. I like these guys as well! The Supremes get to the pit stop and run the whole way. They refuse to give up, and that’s why I love them. Anyway, they find out they are last and have been eliminated. Monica says they were strong and then begins to cry. Sheree finishes Monica’s sentence by saying they had a bad leg, but they really miss their children. Both girls cry and state how the Race has made them more humble. Lastly, they manage to sneak in that India is not their cup of tea. Don’t worry ladies; I don’t think it is to MANY people!

Next week, it looks like Kelly & Jon may be back to their little tiffs again as it looks like Jon is getting testy with Kelly! Everyone is dragged through the mud, while the Models may be heading back to old ways again as well. I can only wonder what they have in store for us next. Some closing thoughts from me? Sure! First, the teams that I love: Kelly & Jon, of course, as well as the Models and Reichen & Chip. All three of these teams have overcome so much bickering and drama which makes me love them. Teams that I like include the Goats, whom we FINALLY got to see more of, and the Clowns. Chillie is still on my disliked teams list. Even though Millie had an emotional moment that tugged on my heartstrings, it didn’t cancel out the fact that I think she’s a whiny and bossy bitch. That’s just me, though. Next week, I’m hoping Chillie mess up and get eliminated, but I have very good reason to believe it’s a non-elimination week. Guess we’ll have to see!
