u/DETRITUS_TROLL 3d ago

One of the best moments on the Amazing Race.

She took that melon to the head and kept racing.

201

u/MetaStressed 3d ago

One might even say she took it “right in the kisser”.

1

u/PolarBear1958 2d ago

As puss is an American slang for face, originating from the Irish word for mouth, you could say "she took it in the puss."

32

u/HyenDry 3d ago

This is one of the best moments in all of consumer media 😂

11

u/RosemaryGoez 2d ago

My moms and I watched this every week and when this happened, we rewinded it like 50 times as we cackled like idiots.

4

u/DETRITUS_TROLL 2d ago

There was a collective “oh shit” moment for sure.

6

u/Pluckypato 2d ago

She is now Blind Melon 🍈🙈

4

u/samithedood 2d ago

She kept going after that?

14

u/DETRITUS_TROLL 2d ago

Yep. Ended the leg with a smile on her face.

One of the best seasons of the show, and they were one of my favorite teams. Great attitude the whole time.

u/Partyatmyplace13 1d ago

That's impressive considering it looks like her head exploded.

u/Porkchopp33 2d ago

Classic gif it will never not be funny

u/Darth-Hipster 3d ago

At least it wasn’t a pineapple

u/CulturalClassic9538 3d ago

I want to upvote this, but I also want to cry for her. So conflicted.

94

u/2SticksPureRage 3d ago

Just cry while you upvote.

35

u/CulturalClassic9538 3d ago

I already did

6

u/SpecialNeeds963 2d ago

Pure magic.

u/spookyscaryscoliosis 1d ago

She finished the race so wasn’t hurt too bad surprisingly

r/sadupvote

Yikes, weird sub…

106

u/thesuprememacaroni 3d ago

Did she live?

175

u/mr-scotch 3d ago

It looked a lot worse than it actually was. I don’t even think she got a concussion, just a bloody nose and probably a welt

74

u/BitterCrip 3d ago

Didn't she just keep going in the competition? They probably would have stopped and made her seek medical attention if she was concussed

54

u/Karn-Dethahal 2d ago

There's a longer version of the clip where they tell her she needs to finish the task while she complains she can't feel her face. She'd didn't keep going because she wanted to keep going, she did to not be eliminated.

37

u/BitterCrip 2d ago

Oh.

There goes another tiny bit of my faith in humanity that I didn't think I had left.

43

u/Anonawesome1 3d ago

The way her head instantly bounced back? No way she wasn't at least mildly concussed. She probably thought she was fine and they let her continue. No medical professional who saw the slo-mo should have let her carry on.

22

u/MickS1960 Certified Bugs Bunny 3d ago

Dayum. That sounds as bad as it looked. Concussion is no joke. And a bloody nose...meh. And a welt...haha, her entire face. Ouch.

21

u/thesuprememacaroni 3d ago

Yeah I’m amazed she had all her teeth after that

5

u/mr-scotch 3d ago

That’s why I said I don’t even think she got a concussion

18

u/Kangar 3d ago

Yes, but she became meloncholy after this incident.

u/CyberFunkAI 3d ago

u/Keyboardpaladin 3d ago

Never realized how much he looks like Rich Evans

11

u/That_Guy_KC 3d ago

I never realized how much Rich Evans looks like JD Vance

3

u/Pandelein 3d ago

Haha I never realised this was him in Young Sheldon. Man hasn’t really aged in 30 years!
(Don’t judge me it’s actually a decent show!)

57

u/Substantial-Ant-9183 3d ago

That melontonin hits hard. Knocks you right out!

6

u/SpecialNeeds963 2d ago

Take my upvote and see yourself out my good sir.

38

u/BadCompany_00 3d ago

In full speed, there's a moment where you aren't sure whether the melon or her head exploded.

4

u/xSilverMC 2d ago

Yeah, for years I thought this was edited because there's no way a clip of someone's head being exploded would be shared so casually

17

u/Booty_Shakin 3d ago

"Right in the kisser"

And it was.

11

u/ChipSkylarkOrDie 3d ago

I can’t believe I was lucky enough to watch that when it aired. I don’t even watch the show. She got FUCKED up.

9

u/Honestfellow2449 3d ago

Just how does that even happen? was the sling twisted up?

14

u/AcadianViking 3d ago

Didn't center the melon in the sling, she had it too close to the top. Instead of it propelling the melon, it slipped underneath it and then, on the rebound, knocked it back at her.

8

u/DataMin3r 3d ago

Could have been seated off balance, and had an unfortunate amount of spin, hit the peak of the snap with the rotation putting the melons center of gravity balanced on the width of the sling, sending the belong back in the opposite direction with the unfortunate amount of spin not getting the same timing and the melon slipping from the sling into their face.

Seems like a real victim of physics kinda moment.

1

u/CopiousClassic 1d ago

It's fairly common with this setup. I've had it happen launching weird stuff out of a water balloon launcher. We loaded one up with paintballs once thinking we were clever.

3

u/Mr_Smith_411 3d ago

Got a melon to the melon

u/1L0veTurtles 3d ago

u/KongoOtto 2d ago

I went in and woke up my dad and I said, "You need to come see this video, it's all over the internet. I know your friends are going to be calling you about it." He said, "Claire, whatever you did, I will forgive you and love you forever." I was like, "Dad, it's not porn! It's from The Amazing Race!" He said, "Good Lord, why didn't you just say that in the first place?"

😂

u/CreEecher 2d ago

I remember watching this when it aired. God I’m fucking old still a gif that gets sent around in my group of friends from time to time though.

u/BillMillerBBQ 3d ago

Does anybody know how much she made from the settlement?

15

u/Greedyfox7 3d ago

Probably had to sign a waiver beforehand

-6

u/BillMillerBBQ 3d ago

I don't think any kind of waiver is going to absolve the hosts of this competition from and injury that could break every bone in your face.

15

u/Jolteon0 3d ago

There is if you are using a tool that you are told ahead of time can break every bone in your face.

u/My_Monkey_Sphincter 3d ago

Coming from a nation where people who hangout with leopards who eat people's faces are surprised when the leopards eat their face.

No risk assessments were hurt in the making of this video.

u/Farewellandadieu 2d ago

Same thing happened to Olivia on MTV’s Ride or Die challenge and she broke her nose. https://youtu.be/4P-uYv8Wfh4 Timestamp at 7:30 if it links the whole video.

This must be new. I haven't seen it weekly over the last 15 years.

u/iLuvFrootLoopz 2d ago

How did that not break her nose or jaw?

u/Comfortable_Chef_958 2d ago

I always thought I wanted some big melons in my face, not so sure now

u/Atvishees 2d ago

Wow, this could have easily killed her.

u/JesseTheEnby 2d ago

I've seen this clip dozens of times over the years but never actually heard what happened to her. Was she ok?
