WE NEED TO BOOK TICKETS FOR "THE PERSIAN GULF"? A belated start, a global landmark underused, another lame Fast Forward, too much cooperation and self-racial-stereotyping, and a whole lot of running around in the desert without the camera being able to give us much of a clue as to who was racing smartly. Also, "I can't sled"? Really?

Seriously, just skip this leg of The Amazing Race and read Jay Rayner's account of dining in Dubai (which, contra the racers, is for sure in recession) -- a much more entertaining, and shorter, use of your time. I'm not sure what's wrong this season, but it's not quite there.
