PANnameh! PANameh-uh-uh-uh-UH-uh

The recaplet by the wonderful Miss Alli is up for the most recent episode of TAR8:

Television Without Pity | Season 8 Episode 5

The race heads out of New Orleans to Panama, where for the entire first half of the episode, absolutely nothing occurs to affect anyone’s placement that is the result of anything other than pure luck. Finally, after several bunches and unbunches that have nothing to do with anyone’s performance, there is one significant decision in the form of both the Paolos (in first place) and the Gaghans (in last place) deciding it is most advantageous to go for the Fast Forward, in which bungee jumping will be involved. By the time the teams reshuffle, the Gaghans are tighter on the Paolo tails than you’d think, but they’re still beaten to the FF, and DJ and Mama have a disconcerting bungee jump together, leaving the Gaghans to scramble back into the mix. But scramble they do, until they manage to catch up to the Gabbleskis at a baseball roadblock. When Sharon takes forever to get a hit and Papa Gaghan smacks one out of the park without too much apparent difficulty, the Gaghans once again pull their fannies out of the fire and finish in second-to-last place, while the Gabbleskis are predictably saved by the season’s first non-elimination round. You don’t necessarily want to know how, but this is also the episode where we discover that the Gabbleskis brought a large quantity of really, really impractical underwear.

Some of which appeared to be worn as headgear, but on second glance it turned out to be some sort of mosquito netting.

My only quibble with that was the eerie and disturbing way teh evil Weavers kept moving up, but that may have been entirely due to the bad luck of everyone in front of them. Yeah.
