Ay caramba! I think Joe connected the ‘bamba” ending of the town to “pampa” and from what I’ve seen today, it is another spelling of pampa.
The guys are too quick for londyn to catch up. A great game so far. This could be an all male final. I hear that the llamas are very popular in Quito Ecuador just because of the name in the recap.
She barely had enough money to catch Joe for second place.
Londyn couldn’t get any rhythm going today. The guys were just too fast.
I have a feeling it’s gonna be an all male final because Marshall and Nathaniel are gonna be faster than Xiaoke.
True, and only 3 of the 8 girls made the semis, whereas 6 of the 7 boys did. I was pulling for Londyn.
