Last Week's Most Schadenfreudtastic Reality Television Moment Reduced to 7 Screen Grabs

What happens when one of the contestants of “The Amazing Race” — a home shopping network host — attempts to catapult a watermelon into a suit of armor? The watermelon backfires, exploding in her face, three-seconds of golden television I’ve watched at least 12 times.

That's fuckin' awesome, and I feel no shame in thinking that it's hysterically funny.

Boom, headshot.

It took me a while to realize that a watermelon blew up in her face, but I laughed my ass off thinking her face exploded and the red stuff was blood.

Yes, I'm a schadenfreude enthusiast.

I've seen the video at least a dozen times, but I never caught that last bit with the guy in squire gear. He's practically the knight of not giving a shit.

Back, and to the left. ... Back, and to the left. ... Back, and to the left.

I loved that scene. I was pretty impressed that she got back up and finished the challenge even though she couldn't feel her face.

It is so damn cold and rainy and miserable and Monday. Thanks for the laugh.

I don't know...don't watch the show, but it sounds like that would really fucking hurt. And as one of those people who hurt themselves in moronic ways, I feel bad for her. (I once ended up in the ER with a squash injury...not the game, the vegetable).

BOOM, BITCH!!!!!!!!

You wanted some adventure, lady? You wanted see countries blur by as you mock taxi drivers and demand that they put themselves and their livelihood in danger so you can get out of their country as fast as possible and maybe win a bunch of cash? You wanted to participate in asinine competitions loosely based on each country's culture and/or history? You wanted to be a part of an Emmy-winning montage? Here you go!

And do you know why that nerd in a knight's costume isn't helping you? Because he understands that you don't give a rat's balls about his country, and he hopes your face now matches your horribly disfigured soul.

Enjoy your "world tour", fuckhead.

Had I been there I would have grabbed a sword and knighted her as "Lady Melonhead".


Seriously she took it like a champ, no complaining. Guess that's not the first thing to explode in her face.

Is she ok? Damn...

Posted by: ZombieNurse at October 4, 2010 11:31 AM

I totally agree with Kballs.

I like the idea of the show, even without the million bucks or however much they get, but the moronic people that they choose, who complain about fucking EVERYTHING is what makes me not watch it.

Although...they probably make for "good" television...and that is specifically why they choose assholes...instead of people who would actually enjoy jumping into other people's cultures whole heartedly and without a single complaint.

ZombieNurse,
I think she had a concussion. I couldn't believe that she didn't break her nose.

For anyone who hasn't seen the footage, the velocity of the watermelon is impressive. When combined with the weight of it, she is lucky her head is still attached.

Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeeeeeeeeeee....

You know why I love the Internet? Because I can watch this heavenly clip without EVER HAVING TO WATCH THAT STUPID FUCKING RACE SHOW. Seriously, if it was really a race they wouldn't structure it so you had to wait for hours at an airport so the other teams could catch up.

Because I'm apparently still 10 years old.

I sure as fuck was gigglin' like a motherfucker on the inside for a few seconds, though.
