Hi there, Trash Talkers! Hope you all had a lovely week filled with stuffing and turkey and fun family activities. I had a great time of quiet reflection, in which I gave some serious thought to the actions of our Hot Docs in the last episode. I’ve decided that Samanda and Lizbot were right – Nicole wasn’t really trying to sneakily cheat in looking at Leo’s instrument. She was just desperate for help and a bit egocentric in believing that regardless of her actions, she deserved help from the Afghanimals. Now, I see the Hot Docs as more clueless than hypocritical. So, I’ve cooled down a little about their righteous “I can’t be near the Afghaninmals because they are not Jesus loving truth tellers” tirade. But I’m not sure it will last. This week we start off in Indonesia, where the Afghanimals are the first to step off the mat. They are off to an unknown local hut where they will have to eat a local delicacy. Leo tries to imagine what it could possibly be that they are eating. He hopes it won’t be snake. Jamal scoffs that nobody eats snake. Tim and Marie leave next and Marie is instantly afraid when she reads the clue. Apparently, she’s so picky she doesn’t eat anything much more than lettuce, so she’s agonizing about the idea that she might have to eat some kind of meat. Tim is delighted to see her squirm. Next off the mat are Pinky and the Brain. Amy laughs in delight and says she loves eating challenges as she dashes off for the taxi. Pinky follows reluctantly and doesn’t seem near as enthusiastic. In the cab, Amy predicts that Marie will have a tough time with the challenge, since she is a picky eater. Last off the mat are the Hot Docs, who feel they need to re-live the failure of last week before moving forward. Nicole explains to us that her relationship with Travis started when she was a student and he was her supervising physician. She says that means when things go wrong, he talks to her as if she were a student or a child. So let me get this straight…. the example setting Christians started off in a relationship that is most definitely is not allowed in a professional setting. Dude, you’re lucky this worked out, or you could have been sued for sexual harassment! So what is it that the teams will have to eat? Snakes on a tray. Turns out, the Indonesian daily special is grilled King Cobra. Leo is a little squeamish, but willing to take it in stride. Jamal is completely freaked out by the fact that an aquarium full of cobras are watching him try to gag down their brother. Pinky and the Brain arrive and are surprised that they don’t see Team Marie, who left before them. When they ask the Afghanimals about it, they are told Team Marie has left already. Leo & Jamal come […]
