The Amazing Race 34: 'It's Simply Medieval' Episode Blog Party - November 2

 


Yes! Yes! The Real Love Boat has been moved to only stream online on Paramount + and TAR has been moved up an hour earlier, directly following Survivor. While it will make me have to sit and blog two hours in a row, that's better than it starting as late as it has been.

I will be live blogging the major events as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments area -- I hope to see you there!

The Wonderful Lifeguard SueGee updated the blog pool for us. Are you still in it to win it?

Race fans ready? Let's GO!

We get a recap. Then Phil tells us the teams are flying from Jordan to the south of France. The teams start off in groups separated by fifteen minutes to start. The first group is having trouble finding the chateau they need for their next clue.

Grr. Derek is telling teams to follow them. He tells Claire (who is not happy that he's telling them to follow) that if they get lost, all the teams following them will also be lost. Um. Okay.

Lumumba/Glenda, the last from the last leg, leave all alone last for this leg.

Luis/Michelle first to the Roadblock. Who wants to climb the family tree? Rappelling to see five names for five family crests. Memorizing the information with 100s of names at hand in the beginning.

Michelle makes it through then Roadblock first and she and Luis are driving to the next clue.

Eep! Glenda tried to turn around their vehicle because they were heading the wrong way. The vehicle fell into a ditch. They cannot afford to lose any time -- they are forty-five minutes behind the first group! A neighbor pulls them out with a tractor. 

Meanwhile, Mattie is the next one completing the Roadblock. Then Emily. Then Derek. Marcus/Michael through but Michael left his keys and they have to go back for them.

Marcus/Michael to clue for Detour first. Walnut Cracker - crush walnuts, walnut oil to fill container. Medieval Gamer -- playing with knives and win three games. More and more teams are arriving. Lumumba and Glenda made it through the Roadblock and are on their way.

Michael/Marcus make it first through the Detour and are heading to the Pit Stop. Derek/Claire finish the games and they are second to head towards the Pit Stop. Other teams are finishing the walnuts. 

David/Aubrey crumbling as they head towards the Roadblock. Lumumba/Glenda doing well at the games and don't fight no matter how far behind they are. All the teams heading to the Pit Stop are having issues getting there.

Pit Stop Order

1. Michael/Marcus - won $7,500
2. Emily/Molly
3. Derek/Claire
4. Luis/Michelle
5. Quinton/Mattie
6. Aubrey/David
7. Glenda/Lumumba -- Philiminated

I figured they wouldn't win, but they were a joy to watch.

Jackie S. said...

Hello, hopefully people will realize the schedule changed.

Glenn Allen said...

Glenn Allen said...

The memory looks tough

Nickelpeed said...

Oh no!!!

Jackie S. said...

I like how Michelle did it. I would be terrible at that.

Nickelpeed said...

Jackie, some might think it's at 10, still.

Glenn Allen said...

Glenda got into some type wreck

Nickelpeed said...

I thought Michelle did the best way. See what you need, then go back up and match them, then place the names.

My pool pick doesn't know what he's doing.

SueGee said...

Does wrecking the TAR car get you philimiated?

Glenn Allen said...

They got the Car going.

Brenda said...

Hello all! I like the time change!

SueGee said...

I should know how to spell it better Philiminated

Glenn Allen said...

That was Dumb for the Guy to only Memorize the men's Names.

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Brenda!

Nickelpeed said...

Crap, my pool team forgot their clue!

Brenda said...

Nicklepeed, he made it out! Now if he can only find the keys!

Nickelpeed said...

Hi SueGee and Brenda!

Jackie S. said...

It turns out there was no damage to the vehicle. However, in other seasons, there has been damage. They are held responsible for any traffic tickets due to their own driving, but not really for the vehicles. If the vehicle damage holds them up too long, they may get the boot for coming in last in a leg.

SueGee said...

Hi - I'm baaaccckkk Dinner was delicious

Nickelpeed said...

Too funny.

Glenn Allen said...

Looks like Teams are getting Lost

Glenn Allen said...

Does my Team of Glenda make it in time to catch up with other Teams?

SueGee said...

Anything is possible Glenn - you know that LOL

Glenn Allen said...

Very true SueGee!

Glenn Allen said...

My team got Philiminated. I now can pull for DX and Claire more.

Jackie S. said...

I'm sorry to see them go. They were good-spirited. On the other hand, I'm pleased the twins and Derek/Claire are doing well.

Thank you for coming by!

Nickelpeed said...

Thank you, Jackie. I'll be working next week and the week after, so will be back in 2 weeks, unless I get off of work sooner.

Brenda said...

Remember when they gave the times teams arrived at the pit stop? I wish they still did!

SueGee said...

Sorry Petals - out of both pools on the same night and you aren't even here!!
