Amazing Fail on the Amazing Race.

Ok, who else watched the Amazing Race last night?

It was an absolutely crazy episode. The seven remaining teams continued traveling around Dubai. The last obstacle everyone had to complete was to go down a water slide and then run to the checkpoint. Last team in is eliminated and won't win the million dollars. No big deal, right?

Well, it was for Mika and her partner Canaan. More so for Mika than Canaan, MUCH MORE SO. The entire season all Mika did was complain about how she hated heights. The water slide is 6 stories tall and at nearly a 90 degree angle. Reality TV freak outs at their finest in 3, 2, 1...

It was said later on by Canaan in a video posted online by CBS [all eliminated teams are sequestered in a place until conclusion of the show, and this year they are sequestered in Vietnam] that they were standing at the top of the water slide for 45 minutes. Obviously, CBS didn't show all that in the episode that aired last night. They did show Mika sitting like she would slide and Canaan ["newly dating" is their title on the show] pushing her to go down [it failed, and was borderline violent]. They were in sixth place, aka second to last, as Mika is deciding whether or not to go down this slide.

Cue the Harlem Globetrotters [and the music CBS plays whenever they're the focus] arrival. Flight Time and Big Easy had been behind this entire leg of the race and was planning on being eliminated. Once they arrived to the slide, Mika and Canaan had two minutes to try and get down the slide before the Globetrotters could go before them. Two minutes came and went (with the Globetrotters yelling at Mika saying "I wouldn't do it if I were you!" and "We are really high up!") and Mika moved out of the way... so the Globetrotters flew down the slide and ran and were the 6th place team. Canaan goes down the slide knowing they already lost and Mika walks down to the bottom, run to the beach and are eliminated.

It should be said that I hate heights. For the chance to win a million dollars, I would do pretty much anything. Apparently Mika doesn't feel the same. That is this week's Amazing Fail on the Amazing Race.
