Be still, my heart. The show is actually starting on time here on the East Coast! Oh my. I supposed we shouldn't get used to it, eh?
As it airs here, I'll be updating this post with the major events. However, the real fun is in the comments area. Everyone is welcome to join in to cheer or jeer the teams!
The teams are heading to Paraguay. The Detour is Stacked Up or Strung Out. Stacking watermelons or attaching strings to harps. The Border Patrol guys are way ahead of the other teams. The Roadblock is to perform a cultural dance with a water bottle balanced on their heads. Er, well ... one head.
Whoa! Art and JJ are at the Pit Stop and no other team has even finished the Detour! They won a trip to the Bahamas. Rachel and Dave used their Express Pass when they realized that all the other teams were already at the harps. Most of the teams switched from watermelons to harps.
Dave ended up breaking all the bottles in the dance. While they arrived second at the Pit Stop, they have to wait out a two-hour penalty. Rachel and Brendon came in third, which became second. Then the Jersey/Staten Island "Fitness" team came in third. Kentucky, four. Nary and Jamie, five. Rachel and Dave's penalty is up, six. Kerri and Stacy, seven.
Vanessa and Ralph made it to eight. The twins were last and were Philiminated.
Here we go!! Drink up!!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI bet this is a non-elimination episode?
ReplyDeleteHey, Jackie and Penny. How are you today?
ReplyDeleteI'm just stunned that it's starting on time here!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking this week or next should be a non-elim.
ReplyDelete*~*splash~*~
ReplyDeleteSplish Splash y'all!
ReplyDeleteHey guys. Is everyone having a good night?
ReplyDeleteI am doing great. How about you, Becky? How's Maggie?
ReplyDeleteHi everyone - still not used to this new comment page!
ReplyDeleteSueGee
I know, Jackie, for once it's starting on time!
ReplyDeleteI might not make it here Wednesday night. Have to work. Won't get off until 8 p.m. I will try to make it home in time to at least get the last part of Survivor. That means I have to watch it late again. :-(
Maggie is doing well, Penny. Thank you for asking. Maggie is one tough cookie. Now if it were Pebbles she would be milking it like crazy.
ReplyDeleteHey, Merrilee, Petals and Sue!
Boy, some ugly sides are showing.
ReplyDeleteI thought the farm boys would do better.
ReplyDeleteOMG! That's terrible. And, they laugh at them! :-(
ReplyDeleteNo beuno!
ReplyDeleteOh no. This might mean they are eliminated. O.O
ReplyDeleteLOL. Sneaky farm boys!!!
ReplyDeleteyeah... they act all surprised at the tasks. What did they think they were signing up for?
ReplyDeleteSome of these teams are nasty!!!
ReplyDeletewait...she could see Rachel's WHAT? I didnt see anything showing. Am I stupid?
ReplyDeleteOh, Brenchel are being ugly!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't do that bottle dance.
ReplyDeleteWow, they got through this really fast!
ReplyDeleteAs a retired bellydancer, I can do the bottle thing!
ReplyDeleteSmart thing to do, but it's so early in the game.
ReplyDeleteBecky, whoever the other girl was was being ugly first. Oh My... can't believe I'm taking up for Brenchel. Well. fair is fair!
ReplyDeleteCool Silk!!! I wish I could bellydance.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool, Silk. My daughter has taken belly dancing and she loves it!
ReplyDeleteHi folks
ReplyDeleteThis is not good. I think they could be eliminated. Not good at all.
ReplyDeleteI like them. :-(
2 hours is an awfully long time
ReplyDeleteHi Joe!
ReplyDeleteStarted in 197-something on the advice of my chiropractor. Best thing ever for a bad back. Danced pro in DC clubs in the early 80s. Now just in my kitchen.
ReplyDeleteHey Brainiac Boyfriend.
ReplyDeletePaybacks are a B!tch, Vanessa.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful, Silk! I didn't realize it would be good for a bad back. My daughter absolutely loves it.
ReplyDeleteHi Petals. Still hungover?
ReplyDeleteHi Nickelpeed.
Not to quit... ??? just go on to the next comp... that's not quitting to me.
ReplyDeleteThat using your head thing is hard!
I couldn't do the bottle thing.
ReplyDeleteWow - Rachel! I have to say that was REALLY good. And Joey!
ReplyDeleteMy gosh, she is SUCH a drama queen.
ReplyDeleteRachael is such a drama queen.
ReplyDeleteDang, they are so lucky. And, they gave up their express pass, too. Wow.
ReplyDeleteThis is actually sad for these last two teams.
ReplyDeleteWow, I can't recall such a time spread between first and last...
ReplyDeleteWho's going to make it????
ReplyDeleteIs it just me are are the legs harder this year?
ReplyDeleteThese are hard. I feel sorry for these two teams. I like the twins.
ReplyDeleteWhen did they give up their express pass. I thought that was why they incurred the penalty, because they didn't. Anyone?
ReplyDeleteI also bet this is a non-elimination round.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of hoping this is an elimination round. You know how the non-elim rounds go: the next leg has a plane or something that causes them to all bunch up again. It would really suck to finish like 12 hours ahead of the last place team this week and end up losing to them next week.
ReplyDeleteOMG. That is so hard!
ReplyDeleteThis is taking forever!!! I can't imagine how frustrated they are. Dang it, the twins are gone.
ReplyDeleteMeb, the guy broke all his bottles trying to balance them.
ReplyDelete:-(
ReplyDelete:-(
I hate to see the twins go.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm sad. Dang it.
ReplyDeleteOkay. Well, hopefully I'll see you all Wednesday night after work. I'll be late joining in though.
Night
Crap! I really liked them.
ReplyDeleteI'm okay with that outcome. They were so far behind, one of those last couple teams HAD to be eliminated.
ReplyDeleteSee you guys Wed night.
ReplyDeleteI liked the twins, too. :-(
ReplyDeleteI know Becky, but if they used the express pass they wouldn't have had to do the bottles. That's why I didn't think they had used the express pass as Nicklespeed commented.
ReplyDeleteOh well... see you all next TAR.
Aww, yeah. I was hoping it was a NON this week.
ReplyDeleteBoyfriend - uhm, yeah. I am still a bit hungover. My gf and I were having wine last night, then my (other) bf & I had "words", so I just chugged.
Everything is cool today. I stayed in, as you know.
xoxoxoxoxox
see y'all Wednesday
ReplyDeleteRachel always cries with NO TEARS!!! How is that possible?
ReplyDeleteOh no! Rachel is crying next week. Drinking time for sure!
ReplyDeleteThey skipped both the watermelon and harp challenge
ReplyDeleteThat's why they gave up the express pass.
ReplyDeleteThe Express Pass let them skip the Detour, but they had to do the Roadblock. It's only good for one task.
ReplyDeleteAhhh! Thanks Nicklespeed and Jackie for the explanation. I didn't realize that. Little slow tonight.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteYeah, they ditched the Watermelons but were smart enough to go to check out the Harp task. When they saw all the other teams there doing the Harp they decided to use the Express pass to go on to the Roadblock.
ReplyDeleteThere's a theory at TV Without Pity that says you should always take the "most photogenic" Detour task, as that will probably be the easiest. Which I guess leads to the question of which task is more photogenic: Watermelons or Harps?
