Who's favored now?


Season 28, Episode 11 preview

Indonesia – Four teams remain. What happens next?

All bets are off:  The favored Frisbee boys, Brodie and Kurt, are gone, thanks to some strategic gamesmanship by the other teams
Brodie and Kurt apply face cream
when Tyler and Korey, backed up by Burnie and Ashley, finessed a Double U-Turn to guarantee the lads a last place finish and a ticket home. (And out of the pool: Team Bushnell.)

The boys had said about 100 times that there was a target on their backs; turns out they were right.

Thus, a team that had taken four firsts and two seconds is gone. The only consolation is that Brodie can stop off in L.A. on his way home and meet up with Blair, a previously eliminated racer who has stolen his heart. Giggle giggle.
Cole and Sheri give directions

Sheri and Cole will survive; they always do: This mother/son team may be the weakest (on paper) ever to be this close to the finals. Or am I wrong? She’s good and it turns out he’s brave, as shown when he overcame his fear of heights to jump four stories down into the ocean and thus grab a fourth place finish, just enough, as always, to go on.

Dana and Matt will quarrel: They’re overdue. There was only one barb from Dana (“Shut up Matt, seriously, shut up”) as they stumbled into third place, Dana carrying one chicken at a time. A

return to their old sniping ways, rather her old sniping ways, would freshen things up.

Burnie and Ashley will take a first: They’ve finished second five times in a row. Need I say more?

Tyler and Korey will barely escape elimination: They’re streaky. They’ve won two in a row. They've been on fire with the jokes. They’re due

for trouble, but not the sort of trouble that gets them the heave ho. They’re too funny to send off.

Overheard:

Ashley: We are currently the most consistent team.

Cole: No doubt we’re getting second in this leg, and by second I mean first.

Dana: A lot of the times we’re just shooting ourselves in the foot.

Tyler: They were not sarongs.

Korey: They were definitely so right.

Korey: How are we going to catch a chicken?

Tyler: Just be kind to them.

Korey: I hope it doesn’t cock-a-doodle-doo on me.

Dana:  I’m from New York, I only know how to hold chicken after it’s cooked.

Tyler: We love ‘em (Brodie and Kurt), but if we want a chance in the finals we’ve got to do it.

Brodie: Green slime everyone knows is a good luck charm.

Tyler: The fall itself was fine; landing was a little rough… My butt has never hurt that much.

Brodie: We felt like we didn’t have control.


Order of finish:

1 Tyler and Korey
2 Burnie and Ashley
3 Dana and Matt
4 Sheri and Cole
5 Brodie and Kurt
