It's truly AMAZING! What is? Well, The Amazing Race is actually going to start on time here on the East Coast! I don't know if my heart can take it. While my blog pool random pick team is Ralph and Vanessa, I don't like them all that much. I don't care for Rachel, yet if I were on the race with her I wouldn't get all personally insulting to her. I'd just avoid her a lot or have little to say to her. Vanessa definitely has a mean streak in her and I don't like people who bully others even if the others are Brenchel.
The team I'd like best to win and enjoy watching the most is Kentucky -- Mark and Bopper. While they're surely backwoods, they're fun to watch. They get along well together and are doing much better stats-wise than I thought they would. I guess they don't really have much of a chance of winning with such alpha teams all around them. But it would be cool.
As the show airs here, I'll update this entry with major events. But the real fun is in the comments area. Come party with us as you watch the show!
The teams are heading to India. They encounter a Roadblock which has them learning a Bollywood dance routine.
Rachel and Dave are first to the Detour -- Cricket (the game) or Clutch It (rickshaw driving).
Pit Stop --
1. Rachel and Dave -- won a trip to St. Lucia.
2. Brendon and Rachel
Sigh. Mark and Bopper seem to be goners. Mark tried and tried the Bollywood routine and finally gave up when Mark was almost at the point of collapsing.
3. Art and JJ
4. Vanessa and Ralph
All the teams have made it to the Pit Stop and Mark is giving the dance one more time so he won't be a quitter (for his children). He makes it through. They finally make it to the Pit Stop -- NON-PHILIMINATION!!! Woohoo! They're still in the race!
Splashshshshshsh!

Hey, Penny!
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie and blog pals.
ReplyDeleteI finally get to actually post during TAR!
I am going to be in and out but I wanted to drop off some snacks for tonight pool party.
I have fresh hot boiled Crawfish, spicy boiled new patatoes and corn on the cob.
I have a case of corona and a case of diet coke to wash it down.
*~* splash ~*~

ReplyDeleteHey Becky!
ReplyDeleteMy friend is working in Corpus now, for the next 6 mths, btw
ReplyDeleteI love Team Kentucky. I am pulling for them.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see Kentucky win, also.
ReplyDeletePenny
HAHA, aka "Big Baby". funny
ReplyDeleteLate but here :-)
ReplyDeleteYay!!! Go Kentucky!
lynn, the boiled crab is delish. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt's looking bad for the good old boys.
ReplyDeleteCome on Kentucky get there. I didn't see, why are they behind?
ReplyDeletePenny
Penny - They had trouble finding the bus and missed the first two.
ReplyDeleteIt is looking bad fo the KY guys. Hope something happens to give them a break.
ReplyDeleteLeave it to family... my first night to watch the show at home and company shows up. Will try to catch up with all soon.
ReplyDeleteTake care, Monty.
ReplyDeleteI hope Kentucky doesn't fall too far behind. :-(
Penny
Rachel thought she would ace the dance. He,he,he!
ReplyDeleteOh, rats, Monty. Hope to see you again soon.
ReplyDeletenoooo....please let Kentucky not lose.
ReplyDeletecountdown to tears
ReplyDeleteI'm back... now what did I miss?
ReplyDeleteRachel's crying and I'm DRINKING!!
ReplyDeletethat didnt take long..the non cry.
ReplyDeleteVanessa and Ralph are my team but don't like them!
ReplyDeleteis this a Philimation round?
ReplyDeleteSplash better late than never. I've been BBQing chicken help yourselves
ReplyDeleteLooks like our boys are in trouble go Kentucky!!
SueGee
Wouldn't it be funny if Kentucky beat Art and JJ to the mat? Oh, I would love it... don't think it will happen but would LOVE it. :)
ReplyDeleteI have scalloped potatoes and some spinach...
ReplyDeleteWith all the promos saying how Kentucky was in trouble, I can only hope they were misleading us. I don't want to see them leave even if the odds are against them!
ReplyDeletethey (KY) have such good spirit. Please dont let them get eliminated.
ReplyDeleteI hope this is a non-elim round.
ReplyDeleteI hope for a non-philimination, but has there ever been two for one team? Not looking good for my KY boys. :(
ReplyDeleteVanessa talking about all the things she hit was hysterical. I sure wouldn't want to ride with her driving.
ReplyDeleteShoot, I thought that was close enough. Poor Mark.
ReplyDeletePenny
Even though these two have won many first places, I don't think they'll win the game.
ReplyDeletePenny
I feel so bad for Mark and Bopper. I love the way they support each other.
ReplyDeleteAnd loved the way the other Rachel just put it out there.... if not we'll just beat'em. Of all the teams left, I'll be happy if anyone but Art and JJ wins.
This is sad. I hope Mark is okay.
ReplyDelete:-(
not for nothing, but I've seen "judges" pass dancers for much worse performances
ReplyDeleteYahooo, yippy and all that!!!
ReplyDeleteRachel beat Art ! ha ha ha ha
ReplyDeleteMakes me so sad. I feel so horrible for them.
ReplyDeleteMakes me really, really sad. Such good friends. God Bless them.
Penny
Listen to him... nothing to be ashamed of.
ReplyDeleteDang it. :-(
ReplyDeleteWasn't that great lynn1? I loved it :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame. I really liked them a lot.
ReplyDeleteI really feel badly for the KY team. I agree with Joe I have seen worse dancers in other seasons who got a pass.
ReplyDeleteIt is a shame and I'll miss them. I can't remember a team that I enjoyed rooting for more. Sad!
ReplyDeleteAt least they have a wonderful friendship. They are both winners in my book.
ReplyDeleteI wish they had an American Favorite vote this year.
I just think he did well enough to pass. Disappointed they didn't let them get the clue. Others have done worse.
ReplyDeleteSee, he wasn't perfect then, either, They could have given it to them earlier.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see them cross the mat. They never gave up!!!
ReplyDeleteYAHOO!!@!!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! Damn CBS
ReplyDeleteWoohooo LOL
Yes !!!!
ReplyDeleteHoly shit!!!! oops, sorry Jackie
ReplyDeletehmmmm...makes you wonder about manipulation, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteSubjective judging makes them last but they get a save. Hmmmm... ;)
I feel like I have just finished a race!
ReplyDeleteI agree that it did just as good as the Art.
ReplyDeleteSee you guys Thurs. I promised DH the computer at 8. Thanks again, Jackie.
Wow, wow, wow. Do you think CBS knew what kind of gold they had in these two? I'm just happy they're still in it. Off to watch Celebrity Apprentice and see what kind of meltdown Lisa will have this week.
ReplyDeleteSee all of you fine folks on Wednesday. :)
See you all Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteThanks everybody for coming by!
