"Perfect"

By amazing_race, Oct 31, 2009 Report Abuse

I was hoping for an improvement when I watched this episode, and that's exactly what I got!

The world's tallest building was really cool and I found it funny that Mika thought she had to jump off it!

The Fast Forward was an exciting one! I sure wish that I could've done that. Certainly a once in a lifetime experience for Cheyne.

The Road Block was really difficult, in my opinion. My parents come from that region, so they knew just how hot it was in the desert.

I absolutely loved the Detour! From blistering heat to the frigid cold! I think Build A Snowman would be easier, because Find A Snowman came completely down to luck!

I was extremely disappointed when Lance & Keri were eliminated. Not many people liked them, but no one can deny that they provided us with many laughs and exciting moment. He smashed an urn, for crying out loud!moreless
