After a good run, Tiffany Michelle and Maria Ho were eliminated from The Amazing Race.
Their downfall ultimately came at something you’d expect a team of women to not do very well with, so it wasn’t too shocking. No, driving wasn’t involved. No, there wasn’t a “Don’t nag for a day” competition. No, there wasn’t an emotional intelligence challenge. And no, the teams weren’t tasked with just shutting the fuck up for five fucking minutes.
Ultimately, a couple of physical tasks (the mallet-ring-the-bell carnival thing and golfing with shoe in 50mph winds) that honestly didn’t seem that fair to stick in a competition with an all women team but then again who said life was fair did them in.
See for yourself in the above vid.
UPDATE: From Maria Hooooooooooooo’s twitter/BJ Nemeth’s comment: “Watch me on Anderson Cooper 360 tonight on CNN at 10 eastern/7 pacific along w/ a great panel of women about “Breaking Into the Boy’s Club!”"
After either bringing up the rear or just getting lucky in surviving The Amazing Race so far, Tiffany Michelle and Maria Ho killed it this week.
Still in Dubai, the girls finished second overall. The alliance they’ve formed with the GayBros. (credit Dr. Pauly’s guest write-up for that term) that seems to be strong. So maybe the girls have a shot?
Side note, the girls had to don swimsuits in the episode that they came down a water slide in and went running down the beach. Except the swimsuit tops were actually their bras. Now, we’ve seen a lot of bras in our time (for about 5 seconds before unhooking them). And we’ve never seen a yellow bra like Maria’s. Interesting. Just when we thought learning something new everyday was going to cease, there goes Maria Ho wearing a yellow bra. Thank you The Amazing Race for that.
To be honest, we figured Tiffany Michelle and Maria Ho would’ve been gone from The Amazing Race by now. But with the help of a miracle on the river last week, they got to stay on the show. And they did pretty well this week in Dubai to make it to yet another episode.
The girls got pretty good air-time, especially after they busted up the radiator on their car and had to get a replacement. Maria got in a good crack about Asian drivers, which reminded us of an on-going RawVegas.tv skit we wanted to do to with her at the WSOP this past summer (and will have to revist in 2010). Anyway, on to next week. View this week’s ep in its entirety here.
Tiffany Michelle and Maria Ho made it past another challenge ofThe Amazing Race. However, Maria struggled with the episode’s task, and the girls finished in last. Their miracle on the river? A dude on another team (Zev) lost his passport. So the girls got a break and move on to the next round or whatever they call it.
The above clip is the after-the-completion interview. Go here to watch the full episode.
Ok, they’re not letting you embed the full video. So we gotta go with the above clip, which we picked because we might do a drinking game next week where after every time Tiffany Michelle says, “like,” you take a shot.
In related news, we may die of alcohol poisoning next week.
If you missed the full episode and do want to watch it, go here.
Eva Laskari would be the dictionary definition of "Greek Goddess." Plus she's not afraid to get naked in front of cameras, so she has that going for her too...
With the WSOP Europe wrapped, it’s time to catch up on some poker news from the past week.
:: Our favorite part-time poker player, Dancing with the Stars‘ Joanna Krupa, and one-time poker player dater Derek Hough, go second this week. Not sure if this is what she’ll look like, but either way, liking the brunette look. Anyway, Krupa did an interview with Fox News this morning and turns out her and Paris Hilton hate each other. Didn’t think it was possible for Krupa to get better. But there you go. [link]
:: More reality TV and more on this later, but Tiffany Michelle and Maria Ho made it through another week of The Amazing Race. [link]
:: Darvin Moon is getting all Dennis Phillipy, saying he doesn’t want the limelight, then going on ESPN’s Inside Deal and doing a Washington Post feature in a week. [link & link]
:: Full Tilt is getting sued so much, they should just start making cigarettes. [link]
:: The EPT London Main Event brought out 760 entrants. They’re in the money now with Annette Obrestad, a woman, among the chip leaders. link]
:: Occasional host of The TOKE, Dave Farra, made his MMA-ish debut of sort, kicking his radio co-hosts ass at the South Point. [link]
:: The murder of Poker Listings co-founder Andreas Oscarsson is now being investigated as a Mob style hit. Wtf. We thoughts Swedes were all nice, good-looking, morally casual types who just want to eat some ligonberry jam, have group sex, and dance to ABBA. Time to reassess. [link]
