The Amazing Race

A Human Gutterball

Make momentum angels, as we are back for our second season of old Amazing Race recaps - Amazing Race Australia 2! Over these twelve weeks, three people who are riddled with neither prostitues nor cockroaches - Logan, Michael & Michelle - are recapping a season that has an insane reputation amongst fans (which is completely justified), continuing with the iconic fourth leg and elimination of Kym & Donna!
In this episode - Michelle drops a bombshell, we discuss the legacy of this episode, the ethics of the Must-Vote U-Turn come up, Michael debuts an impression that definitely won't become tedious, we explain the difference in urinals, Grace can't even be relied upon anymore, Logan's jokes come back to bite him, Michael spots something no-one else has ever spotted, a surprise Stowaway team is introduced, there's an update on Grace eleven years later, Rochdale is finally brought to the forefront, we have some history with Four Points by Sheraton, Michelle reaches her limit, we deal with the arrested development, Tarryn shows emotion, Logan tells a decent joke and we wonder if it was a blessing for Kym & Donna that they only lasted four episodes.
Thank you for listening - we will see you next week for Leg 5!
Please note: This episode is intended on being spoiler-free - however, as with our other historical recaps, this episode may contain references to episodes that we have already covered - namely from Seasons 3; 23-32; Australia 3; Canada 2-5 and Asia 5.
Additional note: Even we can't believe it took this long to notice Sarah dropping an F-bomb - how did that slip through the net?!
