The Amazing Race - 10/05 Show

Jackie's TV Blog, Amazing Race, TAR

Argh, it's no surprise, but the show is delayed here in the NYC area due to football. Once it starts, this entry will be updated with major events and perhaps a random thought or two as it airs. Meanwhile, enjoy Zoetawny's new TAR graphic and cheer on your team in the comments!

Finally it started here, 8:30 PM ET.

Okay, I deem both Terence and Tina utterly annoying.

I feel bad for Sarah, but don't mind that Terence didn't follow the signs to the taxi. Kelly and Christy digging for a container on the Beach It is a hoot!

Pit Stop Order
1. Ken and Tina - Each won an off-road vehicle
2. Mark and Bill
3. Terence and Sarah
4. Aja and Ty
5. Toni and Dallas
6. Nick and Starr
7. Kelly and Christy
8. Andrew and Dan
9. Marisa and Brooke
10. Anthony and Stephanie - Philiminated

  1. Onto AR! I'm hoping that Stephanie and Anthony won't spend all their time bickering!! Laurie, maybe if we both thing good thoughts they'll filter thru to them. Oh wait! That won't work. The show has already been filmed and is in the can!

    ReplyDelete
  2. Wow!! I'm first!! I'll be checking back later tho, since the show doesn't start for 3 hours here.

    Right now I need to go feed the grandkid!

    ReplyDelete
  4. Do you think we can just call them Tony and Steph? I mean, they are our team so we should be able to call them what we want, right? Can't wait to see who they are. I have no memory of them from last week at all!

    ReplyDelete
  5. Good evening, rbennie! Let's get this race started!

    ReplyDelete
  6. One game ended and CBS brought in the end of another game. Now 60 minutes is on. That is Central Time Zone 7:21. Which means, I was going to actually be able to watch TAR tonight, but will not with the delay. Usual Sunday programing time, I know, but still. : )

    ReplyDelete
  7. Hi Laurie and Granny. I hope my teammates Sydney & Orkmommy will be joining us also. Go Terence & Sarah!

    ReplyDelete
  8. Hey guys! Can I just say (before the race starts) that I am SOOOO HAPPY that O.J. is finally going to jail!

    ReplyDelete
  9. Oh yeah, Petals. I feel the same way. 13 years too late, but off to jail and I hope he stays there forever!

    ReplyDelete
  10. Okay Andy Rooney is on, so 60 mins. should be ending in a couple of minutes.

    ReplyDelete
  11. K, so I'm not super excited about my assigned team, mom & son, but I will root for them. So... GO MOM & SON (Toni/Dallas, I think?) And I love the gamer boys, too. They seem smart...

    ReplyDelete
  12. Wow Zoe -- you just continue to outdo yourself!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Its a go here...finally!

    RAHRAH for Toni and Dallas/Petals and me

    ReplyDelete
  14. Being bi- or even tri-lingual seems to give a team a guge advantage. A coupla teams have that going for them.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Grrrrrr, we wait all this time and a mini backflash and more ADS...

    1. Becky, Monty924 & DLA (Mark & Bill)

    Thanks for doing this. Okay Monty924, let's kick some booty.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Yes, I said "guge" - HAHAHAHAHA.

    ReplyDelete
  18. My guy Terence is weird! What is his problem

    ReplyDelete
  19. whhhaahhh... what a baby~!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Ken & Tina picked a strange form of marriage counseling.

    ReplyDelete
  21. How many times can the divorcees remind us that they are ,.. uhm.. DIVORCED!? Get over it, girls!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Sorry, DLA -- didn't notice your name. That's what happens when you get old and blind.

    Come kick some booty with us.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Petals dear, perhaps this will inspire you to root for your boy...

    Dallas (naked but censored)

    ReplyDelete
  24. woah, how did I miss that fight with tears that my team Terrance and Sarah had last week.

    Oh RBennie and ORkmommy, I am not happy with that whole blow on my not bleeding head. I resisted saying I have something else you can blow with that attitude baby Terrance.

    DRAMA!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Well aren't they pleasant

    ReplyDelete
  26. Un-married couple are mean-spirited. No wonder he cheated - she's a shrew!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Petals said:

    How many times can the divorcees remind us that they are ,.. uhm.. DIVORCED!? Get over it, girls!

    Agreed!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Okay I officially hate Tina

    ReplyDelete
  29. "I resisted saying I have something else you can blow with that attitude baby Terrance."

    Bwahahahahaha!! Good one Sydney!

    ReplyDelete
  30. gross, she said would you like AMAERICAN candy... this is not a refugee camp filled with children SOuthern Belles!

    ReplyDelete
  31. ooh goody, can someone put Terrance in his place? I am rooting against my own guy, sorry Rbennie/ORk

    I don't think Ork is with us due to no internet at home.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Oh... jeeminy Clementine! Thank you... whew. Yes.. He has assets. Wow. Hm.. geesh.. WOW.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Go Southern Belles! (err, I guess)

    Yes, if you have any troubles, cute smiles and candy will get you far in life... @@@@

    Caroline, I think I'm gonna start referring to our team as "Cute Smiles and Candy". It's the perfect name for them.

    ReplyDelete
  34. So Tina the shrew has an attitude that matches her outside - cold & hard & pinched. She's a hen pecker. Shrew. Sorry to whomever has to root for them.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Terence, grow up! Sarah, move far away!

    Clem, that's some shot of Dallas! DOL's all here and accounted for?

    ReplyDelete
  36. Clem, that pic of Dallas... your detective skills rock.

    OK, Terrance apologized? And then he's saying I smile a lot.. sounded so immature even when he was being nice.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Wow, look at those palm trees, how they are placed on the beach. It's beautiful.

    They are now appreciating how good we all have it, no matter how bad we have it. THAT"S WHY TRAVEL IS GOOD PEOPLE!

    ReplyDelete
  38. As much as I love TAR, even more than Big Brother, I HATE that CBS chooses to air it before January aka "Football Season". 9 times out of 10, at least, the game is going to go past 7 PM Eastern thus delaying TAR. @@ It is not so much that it causes me any trouble at that point, BUT, it does screw up the rest of my night.

    ReplyDelete
  39. San Diego's designated DOL present and accounted for!

    I want to see the show NOW, not 2 hours from now. *stomping feet*

    ReplyDelete
  40. Yea tan? I saw his butt? How old are the blondes?

    ReplyDelete
  41. We're gonna get tan -- say the SB's --

    Do you think they only cut in the things they say that sound stereotypical?

    ReplyDelete
  42. Petals:

    DOL = dirty old lady

    ReplyDelete
  43. muscle and mental acuity? Is that my team?

    ReplyDelete
  44. Zoetawny, love your new TAR graphic.

    Terence is up. He's down. He's up. he's.........

    ReplyDelete
  45. oh my god, those containers, I want to cry now. It would be horrible to do that. WHo do we think will choose that?

    ReplyDelete
  46. Ooohh.. great challenge...

    ReplyDelete
  47. I don't know how you guys can watch and blog at the same time, this is tough.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Oh, the comic geeks do Dock it, and in fact, that might be just perfect for them.

    ReplyDelete
  49. SB's are doing dock it too. Entertainment ahead folks!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Oh, thanks Laurie! I definitely fit that description, haha

    ReplyDelete
  51. Oh, that's great, the belles went to Beach it by mistake and probably saved their own asses!

    ReplyDelete
  52. It pays to be a nerd at times.

    ReplyDelete
  53. SHUT UP DIVORCEES!!!!! You sound like Desperate ex-Housewives of Souregrape County!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Rbennie, I can;t watch and blog. I don;t get to read anyone's comments til the commercials.

    ReplyDelete
  55. No doubt the divorcees will blame their loss on their ex-husbands...

    ReplyDelete
  56. thanks Sydney - thats a good method. Our peeps are gonna lose their lead right here.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Okay, so far Sydney and I are embarrassed by our teams behavior (SBs and newly dating). Anybody else?

    I like Nick/Starr better this week than last. Divorcees are annoying. Comic book geeks will go far because they don't get flustered. Mom/son work well together. Ken and Tina are on the fast track to divorce.

    ReplyDelete
  58. ROTFLMAO about the ice cream retort by Sarah

    ReplyDelete
  59. I hope Toni can keep up with Dallas for the long haul...

    ReplyDelete
  60. Ice cream? Oh, Terence, you're making it so easy to pick on you.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Can we get Sarah a new partner please!

    ReplyDelete
  62. So far, there's not much going on with Aja and Ty.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Nick & Starr seem like the team to beat at this point.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Joy - At least Aja & Ty aren't acting like fools or stepping on anyone elses toes...

    ReplyDelete
  65. Hey - dats my team! YEAH!

    ReplyDelete
  66. That's true, Petals. At least, so far.

    ReplyDelete
  67. I rreeeallllyyy like Sarah. I hate that she lost her lead.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Storm's kicking up. Terrance does not handle stress well.

    The comic book geeks look like those Mythbusters guys don't they?

    ReplyDelete
  69. They just read of one after the other of those destinations to the guy until he gave them a clue???????

    ReplyDelete
  70. That was smart of Mark & Bill. Too bad Tina saw what he was doing.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Southern girls are used to doing mission work with their churches, hence, handing out candy! LOL

    ReplyDelete
  72. SOrry -- it wasn't the SOuthern Belle;'s that messed up on the beach it, docket, it was the divorcees! Apologies --er, for that one comment at least

    ReplyDelete
  73. The divorcees are a special kind of stupid aren't they? LOL

    ReplyDelete
  74. Wow - Who has the divorcees in the pool? Ouch - they make the Belles look like rocket scientists.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Didn't those girls just say they have learned to read the clues?

    ReplyDelete
  76. Rbennie said
    The divorcees are a special kind of stupid aren't they? LOL

    OK, I'm fully DYING over that one RB

    ReplyDelete
  77. they need to make a deal with one of the teams to split the taxi's they have waiting if they were smart.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Mr. Sensitivo! LOL

    Ooowww, the divorcees are not the sharpest knives in the drawer, eh?

    ReplyDelete
  79. Are most of these people NOT reading their clues?

    ReplyDelete
  80. I love being a nerd! They are smart and they are very funny! To bad the shrew and her husband passed them. He isn't bad. I can see why he cheated on her.

    ReplyDelete
  81. How'd the divorcees jump to a 3rd place? Since they dumped the taxi they may have to take more familiar transportation: the short bus.

    ReplyDelete
  82. There sure have been many blunders this week...in the long run makes for a better show.

    ReplyDelete
  83. These guys are forgetting the most important clue - don't overthink it.

    ReplyDelete
  84. YAY! Mark and Bill second and could have been 1st? I hope I saw that right. Just got here so I have some catching up to do.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Whew, Sarah and whimpy made up some of the time they lost.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Thanks Sydney, I was rather proud of that one myself, LOL

    ReplyDelete
  87. OK how bad am I? Having joyfully invited myself into the porn gutter with Clem's little jems when she finds them, I took what you said Petals (short bus) to be the film by my boy John Cameron Mitchelll........

    ReplyDelete
  88. OH NO new tribes in Survivor this week

    ReplyDelete
  89. Whoa! Picking new tribes on Survivor already!

    ReplyDelete
  90. OK Petals our team is 5 YEA

    ReplyDelete
  91. Oh I'd like to see Terrance catch up to Sarah as a "class act"

    ReplyDelete
  92. He didn't go back...wow. jerk

    ReplyDelete
  93. When the cam brother hell boy told the frat boy he'd be back when he go the clue, My husband said "yeah right, check's in the mail bud."

    ReplyDelete
  94. Did the divorcees ever get a taxi?

    ReplyDelete
  95. that would be spelled GEMS not jems

    ReplyDelete
  96. Aja and Ty came in 4th. We're still in there, Jackie!

    ReplyDelete
  97. I like Aja and her favorite phrase "Aw, hell."

    Nick is quite the ass to his sister.

    Go Cute Smiles and Candy!

    ReplyDelete
  98. Aja and Ty came in 4th. We're still in there, Jackie!

    ReplyDelete
  99. Syd - nope. My short bus reference wasn't nearly that cool. Just "little...yellow..diff'rent".

    ReplyDelete
  100. wow, frat boys beat the belles

    ReplyDelete
  101. So sorry Laurie and PDX Granny

    ReplyDelete
  102. Awww - I liked them, sorta.

    ReplyDelete
  103. Bye Bye Anthony & Stephanie. Sorry Laurie & PDX Granny!

    ReplyDelete
  104. oh, um, and Stephanie.

    He's a charmer.

    ReplyDelete
  106. YAY! Mark and Bill second and could have been 1st? I hope I saw that right. Just got here so I have some catching up to do.

    Yes, you saw that correctly. They were even gracious when they had first yanked out from under them. They are likable.

    Oh, I need to apologize for the "I can see why he cheated" comment. There is no excuse for being unfaithful in a marriage. I should never have said what I did.

    ReplyDelete
  107. The best looking couple this season are gone. Sorry PDX Granny and Laurie.

    ReplyDelete
  108. They just never seemed to have that drive and determination you need for this game. You can't be laid back and expect to win. Sydney & Orkmommy we need to work on manning up our boy Terence. I love Sarah though.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Becky - I said the same thing about the cheating. Don't feel bad. We know it's all for blog, and not meant for mean in general.

    ReplyDelete
  110. Well, Caroline, we made it across the finish line anyway. Next week let's shoot for "not last" again! LOL

    ReplyDelete
  111. What? They are out before I even know who they really are? Sad, sad, sad!

    Mark and Bill, my San Diego Geeks, are in so I'll join Becky, Monty and DLA ... I have my own pompoms and everything!

    rbennie, "special kind of stupid" is the best!

    ReplyDelete
  112. Sorry PDX and Laurie

    I like Sarah too RBennie

    ReplyDelete
  113. I think it's eerie that PDX has the first post talking about her team. Watch out next week who is in that position!!!!! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  114. Well, PDX, we need to drown our sorrows in something tasty! *cheers*
    May our friendship last much longer than our team!!

    ReplyDelete
  115. Mark and Bill, my San Diego Geeks, are in so I'll join Becky, Monty and DLA ... I have my own pompoms and everything!

    Laurie, come on in. With the four of us, we will be hard to beat.

    Hummm, have room on your Survivor team for someone who didn't sign up?

    ReplyDelete
  116. Becky and Dla, our boys rocked it! Now I have to wait and watch the episode on CBS sometime tomorrow... I forgot to set the DVR, grrr.

    The comic book boys are here to stay, I'm tellin ya! Laurie, welcome aboard and hop right on the Mark and Bill train. The more the merrier. :)

    ReplyDelete
  117. Well I survived my first live blogging. It was very hectic, but fun. I've never hit the refresh button so much!

    ReplyDelete
  118. Hey, Becky, you are welcome to join our Survivor team ... but you might want to join Nana or one of the others who don't have a partner.

    Matty Whitmore - RJM in SC
    Michelle Chase - lynn1
    Paloma Soto-Castillo - Tessa
    Suzie Smith - Nana in the NW

    Your choice!

    ReplyDelete
  119. oops! I included people who are already off the show!

    I think these are the 3 teams left who only have one person on his/her team.

    Matty Whitmore - RJM in SC
    Randy Bailey - tbc
    Suzie Smith - Nana in the NW

    hahahahaha ... my wv was owwlap ... sounds like something from Survivor!

    ReplyDelete
  120. Laurie, it's time to cheer on our team!! I've read some of the comments, but I don't want to know the outcome ahead of time, so I stopped.

    Now if they'd just stop with the intro's and commercials and get on with the show!!

    ReplyDelete
  121. Terrance is a real jerk!! I'm so glad he's Sarah's problem and not mine.

    ReplyDelete

    Okay, who wants the old lady from Texas on their team?

    ReplyDelete
  123. Terence is a jerk, isn't he? Sarah needs to heed what the divorcee said, that he reminds her of her controlling EX!

    The blondes mixing up their assignments and digging in the sand was funny!

    I love how cool the SD geeks are. They are smart and logical.

    ReplyDelete
  124. LOL at the lack of direction reading.

    Hello? Lesson number one: Read the directions ... seems to be a difficult concept for some folks!

    ReplyDelete
  125. Sorry, Elaine, we are outta the race. However, we had a loser team ... they had to be losers to be the weakest link on that chain!

    ReplyDelete
  126. Hey, Karen in MD/DC! We were in first!
    Although I can't say that I really like Ken & Tina.

    Jennasmom

    ReplyDelete
  127. lynn1...we're still in the running. I too thought that Nick was a little condesending to his sister, but... they're still our team.

    I can't watch and blog too. My computer is in another room...no laptop. And, I'm in to the other shows, thus the reason for the late post now. The tivo was hectic ecause I had to keep going forward and recording other shows to make sure I got all of mine because of the late start.

    I was LOL at the divorcees, especially since they just said they were going to "read" the clues extra carefully forward. Of course they are...

    Great graphic Zoetawny...

    ReplyDelete
  128. Laurie, cheers to you too!! I have no doubt our friendship will last much longer that our team!

    I looked them up before the show started tonight and was wondering just how much I'd like them. I liked that they had their eyes opened about just how well off they are compared to so many. I'm hoping that including his looks in all he has was a joke!

    All in all, I think it was a pretty good show. I think I like the SD boys best at this point.

    ReplyDelete
  129. becky and monty924, we have a rockin' team!!! I LIKE our guys!!

    Laurie, come on in. The more the merrier!! :)

    Good show! And may I add that the Divorcees gave a whole new meaning tonight? lol

    rbennie, I actually snorted out loud when I read your "special kind of stupid" commnent... I am still giggling!

    GO MARK AND BILL!!! GEEKS ROCK!

    ReplyDelete
  130. I am with Rhennie or whomever said it is hard to blog and watch. It was hard for me last night just to watch with little ones in front of the TV!

    Nana our guys came in 8th but at least that was not last! I can only remember Andrew because that is my youngest son's name or I would not know which ones to pull for! (grr ended in a preposition) BTW, how is your mom?

    Ok that Wimpy guy lost his chance to be gay...he is so dramatic!!

    ReplyDelete
  131. Yeah Jennasmom! I missed the show last night - couldn't get my husband to leave his aunt and uncles house on time so I could watch TV! and I forgot to set the DVR. lol Sounds like it was a close finish so I will try to catch it online! Go team!

    Karen in MD/DC

    ReplyDelete
  132. Good morning all.

    Great show last night. I know Terence is my guy and I have to root for him, but I have never seen a man that dramatic who wasn't gay! I couldn't believe he was so upset that Sarah was talking to other people instead of him. My husband's greatest wish is that there is always somebody else around for me to talk to so I don't bug him to death, LOL. Tina is a real "piece of work". What was up with her going around telling everybody that she got them a bigger plane (which was the strangest thing I've ever heard of an airline doing) and don't let me get started on those divorcees, the exes must have won the brains in the settlements. How did they finally get a cab anyway, I missed that part.

    ReplyDelete
  133. rbennie... "the exes must have won the brains in the settlement". ROFLMBO!!! Too Funny!

    OFF TOPIC! Just gotta tell everyone. My hysteroscopy results are in and they are BENIGN!
    PRAISE GOD!

    Today is my second round of Chemo (remember this is precautionary because of my colon thingy... My body is cancer free!!!) God is Good!

    I am flying high right now... so sorry if I went on and on!

    ReplyDelete
  134. Great news MEB! I'm thrilled for you. Its really nice to hear good news for a change. Hang in there with the chemo. I recall that you tolerated the first round very well.

    ReplyDelete
  135. YEP, YEP, YEP... It's gonna be a breeze... I insist on it!!! Smile.

    ReplyDelete
  136. Great news Meb- I wish you guys would stop picking on my divorcees. They are just doing that stuff for entertainment purposes. No one could be that stupid - so many times in a row- could they? I was very worried when they were looking for the container. The native people were seeing "stupid American" right in front of their eyes. I was soo embarassed for my team. At least they were not last!

    Margo

    ReplyDelete
  137. That is great news MEB! I think your attitude is the best thing you have going for you when it comes to chemo. Keep it up!!

    ReplyDelete
  138. rbennie.. missed your question... the divorcees'cab was sitting on the lot the whole time, they just didn't walk around anywhere to find it. When they did see it, the driver appeared to be just hanging out waiting to see how long it would take them to figure it out.

    Sorry Margo, but they really are not too bright!

    ReplyDelete
  139. Yeah, meb, so glad to hear you are cancer free. You are such a positive person and your attitude is fantastic.

    Margo, I'm afraid those divorcees really are that clueless. So sad!

    rbennie, you were on a roll last night!

    ReplyDelete
  140. What can I say Laurie, sometimes my wit sparkles and sometimes it fizzles, LOL. Last night was a good night. There was so much raw material to work with.

    ReplyDelete
  141. Meb, congratulations on the great results. What good news for us to hear. You are an inspiration!

    ReplyDelete
  142. meb, that is just terrific news!!

    Best of luck with your chemo today... You will be in my thoughts.

    XOXOXO

    ReplyDelete
  143. You guys are so nice. Thanks for the cheers!

    "Caroline, I think I'm gonna start referring to our team as "Cute Smiles and Candy". It's the perfect name for them."

    Sounds like a good name to me. I'm getting a kick that they keep coming in almost last but not getting eliminated. They may not be smart, but at least they seem kind...so I'm certainly gonna root for them to have fun on the race.

    I liked that Mark & Bill picked the shipping containers...I would have done the same thing. Tedious, but easy and much quieter knowing everyone else would go to the boats.

    Loving Ty & Aja. The comment Ty made about the SB's and their faces getting red with exertion and then Aja "We don't turn red". Hysterical. Plus they also seem smart and kind.

    Best quote of the ep was Anthony when he said that if anyone in the country could fix a car they could make a fortune.

    Also, don't count Terence out of being a gay man yet. He seemed thrilled when Ken kissed him and got all flustered and blushed. If I was Sarah, I'd be very concerned after that.
