The race itself was most definitely… unique. I made a joke that it might be like CBS’s Amazing Race… and it really, really was due to more than a few times my inability to find the route markers and getting all turned around and lost. Had Jerry Bruckheimer TV been filming it, they’d have played that, “Look at these idiots missing the obvious” music as the camera surreptitiously zoomed past my confused look to show the route marker in plain sight.<\/p>\n

The stretch that reminded me of being a glorified extra in WAGES OF FEAR\/SORCERER was crazy….<\/p>\n
