Zimbabwe, Paris, Season
27, Episode 7 preview:
All you need to know:
Nothing ever ends. Episode 7 is actually a continuation of last week’s episode when, for the
second time this season, the dreaded words “to be continued” flashed on
the screen at the end of the hour.

It’s about taking
the plunge. Really, there have already been two death-defying,
gut-wrenching, into-the-gorge drops this season. I know they’re frightening
beyond belief (I can’t watch), but they’re getting old.
Fit to be tied.
Fitbit has come on big time as a sponsor, making us even forget the Travelocity
gnome. In Episode 6 racers were continually checking their heart rates, thanks
to their Fitbits. But there are those in Fitbit land who would like to know how
many steps they’re accruing. Are they getting their buzzes?
French is a tough,
tough language. Three words, “egalite,” “liberte” and “fraternite,” may
have been spotted from the air by most of the high-flying racers, but they were
generally butchered on the
ground. What’s happened to American education?

Did I say French is a
tough, tough language? Actually, it would seem to be a little easier if
you’re rapping in French. At least most of the racers were able to pull off
that challenge with the exception of Denise, James Earl’s mom. She was last
heard – right before “to be continued” – trying to get through a rap song for
what seemed to be the 800th time. Why, oh why, didn’t she opt for
the food-arranging challenge? (Oh, I remember, she and James Earl couldn’t find
the food-arranging challenge.)
What’s next?
Rotterdam and some sex, drugs, rock n’ roll.
Well, probably not, but I imagine there will be some plunging.
Overheard
Tanner (pre-plunge):
I’ve got about 40 minutes for the sun to come out so I can really see where I’m
going to hit the ground.
Diana: Oh my god;
I’m going to pee myself.
Logan (looking into
the gorge for Chris): Oh my god, he’s alive.
Justin: I figured
with my charisma, I guess, I could outweigh any problems she might have.
Josh: I have a George Foreman, and that is about all the
cooking I can do.
Rick: Controlling
a knife isn’t too different whether it’s oysters or people.
Justin: We may
argue but we come together when it counts.
