‘The Amazing Race 25’ episode 10 video: Brooke & Robbie’s fish fiasco
Brooke & Robbie are totally the Dan & Andrew of “The Amazing Race 25.” For those who don’t catch the reference, Dan & Andrew were two frat guys who were on this show many moons ago, and by most accounts, they were a pretty terrible team. Yet, they somehow managed to make it extremely far in the season.
With the Wrestlers, we’re surprised at how they are able to continually struggle through some tasks, and yet make it all the way to the end of each leg not in last place. They’ve never needed a Non-Elimination, and even came in second place last week! Brooke seems to be perpetually unhappy, but whether it is by luck or by managing to make the right move at the right time, these two figure things out.
The craziest thing of all is that we find them, despite their flaws and everything else as racers, to be very entertaining. It may be because of their overall goofiness, and possibly that they just enjoy the opportunities to really get into their wrestling characters when the race calls on it.
What the sneak peek below teaches us is that while they may be okay being extremely sweaty climbing atop a turnbuckle, rooting through fish guts and bones in the Philippines is an entirely different story. They seem to be having a tough time with one of the challenges Friday, and it is one of those moments where they probably wish that they either had gloves, or were allowed to use them. (Hard to say what is stopping them.)
We almost wish there was no elimination the rest of the season, and that all four teams could make it straight to the end. After all, we really like all of them for various reasons!

Will be interesting to see who the final three teams are. Can’t believe what a wussy Robbie is!
