The Amazing Race 20 Blog Party - 04/15/12


Hopefully (I wasn't watching CBS), the show is about to start here on the East Coast. As it airs, I'll update this post with major events -- tonight has a double U-Turn and more! But the real fun is in the comments area! Everyone is free to jump in with your comments on the happenings!

Detour -- Water supply or air supply. The first has them going to a well, then delivering water. Air supply has them patching leaks on bike tires.

Bopper and Mark are in the lead and didn't U-Turn anyone, nor did Dave and Rachel.

The Border Patrol U-Turned Rachel and Brendon. They thought they were first to the U-Turn as Dave and Rachel had promised to U-Turn Brenchel. But they weren't.

Brenchel U-Turned Vanessa and Ralph. No surprise there!

The Roadblock has them collecting honey in protective bee suits. Fun, fun, fun!

Border Patrol has cut their ties with Rachel and Dave over the U-Turn promise. Bopper and Mark are having trouble with Mark's knee heading to the Pit Stop. But they make it FIRST ... yes! Rachel and Dave are second. Bopper and Mark won a trip to Hawaii.

3. Art and JJ
4. Brendon and Rachel
5. Vanessa and Ralph
6. Nary and Jamie just couldn't catch up. They were Philiminated.

  9. Rachel has a mean mouth. And mean eyes.

  10. Just seeing how arid it is there, and knowing how much water I waste daily - I feel kinda guilty. We really have it good over here.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I had to repair my bike tires on the farm. Not hard to do!

  12. Hi Delee & Becky

    Didn't they used to say something about Rachael being a scientist too? Now they just call her a hostess LOL

  13. I Like Kentucky's and the Border Patrol.

  14. I am supporting Dave and Rachael because he is in the service.

  15. I'm liking Mark and Bopper more each show. They're very likable. Usually the "country bumpkin" teams on the show are very inept. These two seem to naturally take to stuff. They're fun to watch!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Love those guys!!

    SueGee

    ReplyDelete
  17. I like Mark and Bopper, too. I also like Rachel and Dave, only because he's Air Force.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Hi Becky, how are your girls?

    Dang it, I think it's terrible to U-Turn people, especially that far ahead. :-(

    I want to see Rachael and Brendon LOSE!!!

  21. Silk, come out and join the party.

  22. Hey Silk.


    My ex bought a beesuit like that, so he could re-locate a nest from under our deck. I wouldnt let him use Raid or whatever. And it worked - he moved the whole big nest to a tree in the woods.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I wish these two would shut up. I do not like them...the boarder patrol guys.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Oh, it's going to be tear time.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Those suits protect you some, but what if you are highly allergic to bee stings. Matthew worked with bees in college as his job. He is allergic but would still get biten thru his suit!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Penny, you dont like Border guys?

    ReplyDelete
  27. Petals, I know what you mean by seeing the water line making you feel guilty. I think of how many times I turn on the water and let it run.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Most Ph.D. programs in the sciences take 5 years full-time. Given his occasional breaks it will definitely take him longr.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Whohoooo, KY in 1st place!

    ReplyDelete
  30. (I knew I smelled warm, sweet Muffin)

    Becky, right? I totally take my water for granted.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Dave gets on my last nerve. So the Border Patrol. It makes it hard to pull for them to win.

    ReplyDelete
  32. YAY!!! Bad knee & all! WTG KY!

    ReplyDelete
  33. lol. Hi, Petals. Just got home and got the dogs situated

    ReplyDelete
  34. I do not like Art or JJ, they rub me the wrong way! KY boys are my pool peeps!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I am so glad they won 1st.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I don't like Art of JJ either. The two women were so far behind, why in the world detour them? They are jerks

    ReplyDelete
  37. When the first place team wins a "trip for two", what if each member of the team has a spouse? I wonder how that works.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I dont care for the description, "Dating Divorcees". Not sure why, it just tweaks a nerve. Like, when I date, do people say, "Hey, she's a dating divorcee"?

    ReplyDelete
  39. Okay, Dave, Rachel, and Border Patrol are off my favorite list and down to the fecal roster.

    D & R because they made a promise they did not keep and the BP because they are jerks with their attitude.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Oh geeze. Yikes. Well, I do not like those two, anyway. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  41. Silk - If memory serves, they EACH win a trip for two. I'm so happy they got their first place finish.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Yeah, but I agree with D & R because the girls are so far behind, they wouldn't pass either team. I do not dislike them for that. I do not like the thought of using the Detour anyway. The Boarder Control guys are nasty, nasty people.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Welcome aboard the blog party, Janice! Folks ... Janice and I grew up together in a small town in upstate NY!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Wow, congrats Art & J J, you two are assholes!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Welcome Janice!

    I grew up in the Adirondacks of New York in a small town just North of Lake George. I miss home a lot.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Hey Janice!

    I guess I need to pay closer attention, because I dont see the BP being so bad.

    ReplyDelete
  47. St Louis under tornado watch until 12 cdt! Be safe out there!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Penny - Our small town was in Saratoga County, Round Lake. I lived there from 5th grade through high school graduation. Janice and I rode the bus together!

    ReplyDelete

  52. Yeah, Margo is in STL. Yeeks...

    ReplyDelete
  53. I know where Round Lake is! I grew up in Warrensburg. So many people do not realize how many small towns there are in NY

    ReplyDelete
  54. Around here they think upstate NY is Yonkers!

    I hope Margo is safe from the storms in St. Louis!

    ReplyDelete
  55. I was so happy to see Mark and Bopper come in first last night. I find them extremely likable too!

    My Sunday night obligations ended last night... yay! I'll be able to watch now with all you fine folks from here on out. :)

    See everyone on Wednesday for the other, more boring, CBS reality show. ;)
