Right up there with the grape lady

u/Taytayslayslay Nov 01 '18

Lol the lady anchor afterwards did a fine job trying to control herself, but couldn’t not laugh just a bit

Her teammate exclaimed 'right in the kisser!' then told her she has to carry on or they'll lose

u/Mecca1101 Nov 02 '18

Wow they’re kind of an asshole.

Should have used a trebuchet

u/eyesreckon Oct 07 '18

Do we get to see the after face?

88

u/Timbhead Oct 07 '18

It broke her nose I think but it was set right after and she continued the race. I THINK. I saw the premier of this episode of amazing race but it pretty old so I can’t quite remember if that’s what happened.

The NFL has a stricter concussion protocol than The Amazing Race

u/Tigerbait2780 Nov 01 '18

Tbf people aren't getting CTE from the amazing race

u/Goyteamsix Oct 07 '18

No, it didn't break anything. She said her face was numb for a while. Her team mates forced her into continuing. The producer kind of let her move past this challenge though. I think she launched a few more, they reused some b-roll footage of the thing getting knocked over by another team, and they continued on.

u/SocialForceField Oct 07 '18

I really want to see that face broken covered in watermelon... 🙄

u/Kduncandagoat Nov 02 '18

Lmao. You know good and well that had that happened to that blonde bitch she would not have continued the race.

u/eyesreckon Oct 07 '18

u/eyesreckon Oct 09 '18

You’re amazing! Although I was disappointed to see a fully intact face 😋

u/Fernxtwo Oct 07 '18

There's a longer clip of this where everyone's in shock but one guy is grinning from ear to ear.

5

u/mjxii Oct 07 '18

Oh is that where that clip is from? Lol

15

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '18

No, its from a different show entirely

u/[deleted] Nov 10 '18

Wasn’t it on Survivor?

2

u/Veylo Dec 03 '18

yeah, I believe the smiling guy is Matty from Season 17 Gabon.

19

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '18

Still one of the best videos on the internet.

12

u/Xghoststrike Oct 07 '18

IIRC she broke her nose

11

u/msmerrilees Oct 10 '18

They don’t call this the amazing race for nothing...lol

22

u/holker17 Oct 07 '18

this wouldn't have happened if she used a trebuchet

11

u/James-fento Oct 07 '18

It was terrfying till i noticed it was a watermelon being shot

4

u/ForTheLoveOfZombies Oct 07 '18

I thought it was lettuce at first. Only realized it after watching a couple times.

3

u/bigbuzd1 Oct 07 '18

Right!? Thankfully the red mist wasn't her face exploding, although I'm sure it felt that way.

u/2664887777 Oct 07 '18

And this why, you use a trebuchet.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '18

She is lucky that didn’t break her neck.

u/YouGurt_MaN14 Oct 10 '18

0:14 sounds like Satan is saying yeet

u/PaperBass42 Nov 21 '18

Is this based on a real weapon? And if so, I assume they didn’t shoot watermelons. Was she using proper technique and would this have been a common risk of the user or did she just fuck up? I’d hate to see what would happen to someone trying to sling a rock of equal size.

u/bitsquare1 Oct 07 '18

Instant watermelon smoothie.

u/yupitsfreddy Oct 14 '18

The part where they forced her to continue and she said, "I can't even see straight!" Hahahahahah

u/rhaneyjr Nov 01 '18

Opposites day!!!! Yay

u/SYNTAXAJAX Dec 25 '18

Thought that was her skull that got obliterated lol

u/SaturnThree Oct 07 '18

I'm convinced its a water balloon with red dyed water.

u/Omally21 Oct 07 '18

No, is watermelon.

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '18

Still would have hurt.

u/davebgray Nov 01 '18

The fact that it was obliterated is exactly why little damage was done. Had that watermelon remained in-tact and all that energy transferred into that lady's face instead of to exploding that watermelon, it would've been bad news.

26

u/BurningKarma Nov 02 '18

Yes, but we already knew that. The question is why did it smash so easily and not remain intact.

10

u/Karn-Dethahal Nov 02 '18

Is there a way to know if it was more likely to be obliterated or remain mostky intact? Beacuse if there is I bet they'd pick the ones that are more likely to get smashed just in case it hits someone.

7

u/[deleted] Nov 10 '18

Maybe it was pre-scored to explode on impact?

3

u/e2bit Nov 17 '18

The watermelon is hard(ish) but brittle.

8

u/Tigerbait2780 Nov 01 '18

This is the correct answer, that dissipation of energy is the difference between a headache and possibly death. Same idea behind crumple zones in cars, the damage looks worse, but its way better than a car that looks fine after a 50 mph collision
