The Amazing Race does Perth and Darwin

Exciting as it ever is, the The Amazing Race continues the fine aural tradition of exacting an even more pronounced version of the Australian accent. Filtering through the lens of the Americans, even the most shallow of strine deepens to the bottom of a cavern, boundless in the ockerness of it all.

Even on the legless dash back from missing the State of Origin poetry slam event, the intensity of the race continues apace. Cracking whips in the face of host Phil, the race to the mat of the Darwin leg is the stuff made of excitement and one-sided shouting cheers to the slightly dusty television screen.

With Ray and Yolanda clear and out of the tussle at the end of the Australian leg, fury drops down to the other three. An extremely tight situation with Monica and Joseph (MoJo), BJ and Tyler (The Hippies (TTow!)) and Eric and Jeremy (The Frat Boys) all rubbing up close to one another. Close enough for fisticuffs even. And there in lies the hunger for that one million dollar prize.
