Belt buckles don’t slow Oklahoma cowboys down on ‘Amazing Race’
When Jet and Cord
McCoy arrived at the Leg 3 finish line in first place on “The Amazing Race” (Feb. 28 on CBS), host Phil Keoghan had a question for the Oklahoma cowboys.
“Don’t those belt buckles slow you down?” Keoghan asked.
“We’d be slower if our pants were around our ankles,” Jet said.
Jet also delivered the line that was used for the episode’s title. He said “Thing is, we don’t have to run like scalded dogs,” before hopping on a bus to Argentina.”
The McCoy brothers from Tupelo did fall behind a bit during this leg of the race. One time was on purpose so the other teams wouldn’t follow them to el Boliche Viejo, an old saloon where Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid hid out in Argentina. The other time was when they needed three hands to beat a Gnome at five-card stud.
But they regained the lead at the Road Block where one team member had to rope a steer-horned hay bale target 18-feet away.
“I can’t believe I missed it on the first try,” Jet said. “I’m going to hear about that.”
And they extended their lead by hitting a ball and hauling a wooden practice horse down a polo field.
As winners of the third leg of the race, the McCoy brothers won a trip for two to Patagonia.
Next up are stops in Germany (Leg 4) and France (Leg 5).
Upcoming episodes, which are taken from quotes made by the racers, are titled “We Are No Longer in the Bible Belt” and “I Think We’re Fighting the Germans, Right?”
Sounds like something Jet or Cord McCoy might’ve said, doesn’t it? To find out, tune in to CBS at 7 p.m. Sundays.
