The Amazing Race: Unfinished Business 5/01 Episode Blog Party


Wow, it's actually starting on time an this week here in the East! Once it starts, everyone is welcome to join in with comments as it airs -- that's where the real fun is! I'll be updating this post with any big news as I watch it here on the East Coast. Stop on by and jump in the pool!

The teams will be taking helicopter trips to "the unknown" in five-minute intervals. Zev and Justin, of course, are first. Jen and Kisha caught up, snowing heavily. Heh -- Gary and Mallory got a cab before Kent and Vyxsin. Now the Globes are in a cab while Kent is still fussing.

Detour - Search or Rescue. Search for a training dummy on glacier, dig him up. Rescue - rappel into a crevice to rescue a victim.

Gary and Mallory accidentally ripped the legs off their dummy while saving him. Jen and Kisha have taken over the lead. Zev and Justin are having problems. Gah. The Goths caught up. The Globes did, too.

Uh-oh, Zev and Justin are having REAL problems and missed the train everyone else took. Now they have its legs.

Roadblock - Who wants to make a new friend? They have to make a Roaming Gnome out of chocolate.

Finally Zev and Justin are waiting for the train to the next clue. All the others have started the Roadblock. There may be hope for them yet as other teams quibble.

Argh ... Kent and Vyxsin are out of the Roadblock first. Zev and Justin still last. Wait! K&V are taking a cab while the rules are to go on foot! YES!

Pit Stop -
1. Globetrotters - won a trip to the Cook Islands
2. Kisha and Jen
3. Kent and Vyxsin - 30 minute penalty
3. Gary and Mallory
4. Zev and Justin!!! Yes!
5. Kent and Vyxsin PHILIMINATED!

  8. I am shocked that the goth kids are still in the race.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Kent the drama queen... I'd have to punch him if he and I were partners!

    ReplyDelete
  10. Hi Petals,

    How are you doing?

    ReplyDelete
  11. Monty, I wonder if Vuxsin is trying to drop the drama queen into oblivion? I would!

    ReplyDelete
  12. When I saw in the previews that Kynt was screaming 'stop' I thought he was just being a whimp. This is funny! Is she deaf!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Petals - I hope they leave tonight! But I'm thinking it might be time for another non-elim.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Joe, I've been worried about you! I am great.

    ReplyDelete
  15. K&V are soooo annoying! i hope they are gone after tonite

    ReplyDelete
  16. How do the goth couple have time to do their freak makeup? Drama queen is right!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Globetrotters are sweet.

    ReplyDelete
  18. go globetrotters!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Since the Cowboys are gone I am rooting for Mallory and dad or the sisters.

    ReplyDelete
  20. What's with the tiny shovels! LOL

    ReplyDelete
  21. oh no! zev and justin! switch tasks!!!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I feel bad for Zev and Justin! :( I think they should have switched when they saw Gary and Mallory leave, but we don't know what kind of real time its been.

    ReplyDelete
  23. The GT are nice and funny too. I am over my disappointment in them last week. I hope they come in third.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Chocolate Roaming Gnome Yum

    ReplyDelete
  25. FUN task! They are in my fave's country (Roger Federer), wish I was there.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Watch the goth kids put eyeliner on the gnome.

    ReplyDelete
  27. HAHA Petals, you and your tennis players!

    ReplyDelete
  28. there was alot of hating on the GTs onother sites last week! I know eveyrone loves the cowboys but it was a good move, imo! Im hoping the sisters or Z&J or the GTs win!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Delee - yup. I'm a tennis groupie.: )

    ReplyDelete
  30. Yes, Kent let's harden chocolate in the oven! Oh My Shut Up!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I don't think Kent is working with a full load. Oven/chocolate -- LOLOLOL

    ReplyDelete
  32. Like, do they make a deal with producers to delay filming them until they are "gothed-up"? And are they carrying all the hair implements & products with them? And if so, how does all that junk not slow them down?

    ReplyDelete
  33. Maybe it is permanent eyeliner!

    ReplyDelete
  34. He could snap that little girly-man over his leg.

    ReplyDelete
  35. They're ready to throw down this week. :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. id be blaming her! she would be giving my bottom back!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Hahaha Petals (8:38). It would be a TAR first, but I'd likey!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Delee - seriously? Even if it is permanent liner, there is the hair. Looking that freaky is a process. Everyone else looks bedraggled, which is to be expected in this game. But the freaks? They ALWAYS look lik they are on their way to a Lady Gaga concert.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Okay, I have to say this.... the GT did not complaine when the girls gave them the mileage last week. If they hadn't gotten it then they would have finished last... and be gone. Karma. Did V really take it. Who said they were putting their's on the bottom?

    ReplyDelete
  40. Caela - With the teams left, the Goths are about the only ones who totally annoy me. I'd like Zev and Justin, then the Globes, then Gary and Mallory, then Jen and Kisha ... even they have grown on me more this season.

    But both Kent and Vyxsin are annoying me, him more than her. But she has her moments for sure.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Anyone but K&V for the win! I really like all the other teams! I dont know how the other teams dont like smack Kent! sooo annoying!

    ReplyDelete
  42. I missed it...did she really steal it?

    ReplyDelete
  43. K&V annoy me too, Jackie.

    ReplyDelete
  44. dunno if she took it, but I like having another reason to root against them.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Globetrotters are kind of being asses...did she actually steal it?

    ReplyDelete
  46. they are just talking trash. Part of their basketball background. K&V need to stop being such girls!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Jackie you may get your wish!

    ReplyDelete
  48. LOL, I love it... Taxi = Big Penalty!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Looks like the PIAs did a no-no.

    ReplyDelete
  50. WOOOHOOO!! GO GLOBETROTTERS!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  51. way to blame ur gf, Kent!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Oh wow. What a stroke of luck. This music reminds me of Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula.
    HAHAHAH Buh BYE!

    ReplyDelete
  53. happiest day ever! GT in first and goths going home!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  54. OH Barf, she is taking the best teammate with her!

    ReplyDelete
  55. What a pita for them to fly with all that metal in thier faces.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Really don't care about any of these teams...then again maybe it's just my attitude! :)

    Won't see you on Wednesdays, sad to say, puppy class starts this week.

    Have a good week, folks!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Everyone stay safe this week and praying for "spring" weather for all!

    Thanks Jackie!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Her bad attitude? She has bad taste, yes. (She looks like Raggedy Ann in that get up.) But I am so glad to color them gone.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Flight Time's gnome was on the bottom shelf. I don't know if V took it, but his wasn't there when he went back for it.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Happy dance time! I actually liked them the first season, but he's become Mr. FussyPants this season and she's not all that much better.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Have a great week, Joe. See all of you fine folks on Wednesday!

    ReplyDelete
  62. 2 hour finale next week!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Everyone have a great week. Catch you later.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Oooh was in the Keys at Christmas time! Let me race that!

    ReplyDelete
  65. So glad they are gone! Now I now some of you may like Mallory and her Dad, and they are ok... but she is so annoying with that scream of her's..every single time, over and over.. oh..excuse me.. I guess I was getting carried waay.

    Anyway, I really don't have a favorite... don't care at this point who wins... just not the GT... they got rid of the cowboys... they are on my list!

    ReplyDelete
  66. See you guys Wednesday (or Sunday)! What a great ending to this ep.

    ReplyDelete
  67. So looking forward to the episode tonight, but interrupted due to the amazing announcement about Bin Laden... TEAM USA!

    Thank you for the update. Will try to catch it online this week.

    ReplyDelete
  68. I am pulling for Zev and Justin or Mallory and Gary. Guess I consider them all the underdogs.

    ReplyDelete
  69. SO glad Kent & Vyxsin are "DUN"! Couldn't take any more of his whining.
