The Amazing Race: October 21 Blog Party


I'm not thrilled, but they're learning. The show isn't scheduled until 8:30 tonight here in the NYC viewing area due to football coverage. That's certainly better than pretending it will air at 8pm, but it still can throw my live TV watching askew with the odd half-hour. Oh well.

Although I'm putting this post up for the 8pm ET start, I probably won't really be here until the show starts. Feel free to hang out and have a beverage or two. Once it starts here, I'll update this entry with the major happenings as they air. But, as always, the party is in the comments. Come join us!

Okay then ... we're now talking about almost 9pm ET. Grr.

8:56 and it's finally on.

They're heading to Bangladesh. All the teams make the same flight.

Roadblock -- Teams have to repair buses. There is a fast forward available, but no one on the first few teams has gone for it ... yet.

The Fast Forward has them collecting dead rats. Ew. It looks like James and Abba are going to go for it.

The next clue is at a marketplace where they have to find a TAR flag colored dried fish in barrels of stinky dried fish. Ew.

The twins continue to be super annoying. Ew.

Detour -- Pound metal, pound out a spike. Pound the cotton has them beating cotton for a mattress.

James and Abba finished the rat collecting Fast Forward and are heading to the Pit Stop. They're the first team there and won a trip to Antigua.

2. Abbie and Ryan
3. Natalie and Nadiya
4. Rob and Kelly ... didn't take the right boat, must complete the course and come back.
4. Josh and Brent
5. Rob and Kelly
6. James and Jaymes
7. Trey and Lexi
8. Gary and Will ... Philiminated.

There goes my blog pool team, but no great loss. I'm liking so many teams much better! Well, I wouldn't shed any tears if the annoying twins vanished.

  1. 60 Minutes didn't start here until 7:58, which means no TAR until 8;58 @@ ridiculous. I wish they'd move TAR back to Tuesday.

  6. I don't care about TAR at 9. But that means EVERYTHING pushed back an hour. Mentalist until midnight?

  7. I had to change my DVRing. It still shows up as Amazing Race as it goes in to the Good Wife. Messes everything up

  12. Penny, I am a tough old bird. Good thing, been a lot of poop in my life lately. Thanks for asking.

    For others, we had to put my Momma in a dementia unit. She fell again and broke her elbow. What little lucidity had after falling and breaking her arm in May is all but gone.

    Jackie, in case I cut out early, thank you for hosting.

  15. Becky, so sorry. Praying for strength for you.

    ReplyDelete
  16. My prayers are with you Becky. I can not image how hard this is you. Your brothers are poopheads.

    ReplyDelete

    SueGee

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  19. Come on Trey...do it right!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  21. Aw, Becky ... so sorry to hear the latest. Hang in there!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Thank you, SueG and Joe. You guys don't know what a high light meeting here with you at Jackie's is for me. I come here, laugh and cut up and RELAX!

    Now, where is Petals with the booze? Looks like my team is in trouble.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Thanks, Jackie. And thanks for furnishing a place for me to come.

    ReplyDelete
  24. those girls are sooooo annoying

    ReplyDelete
  25. FUNNY comment from the rockers about collecting the rats.

    Those twins make me ill. Stick a sock in the big mouths mouth!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Chippie 1 & 2 are in trouble! I really don't care!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Of course, the "good" thing about the push-back for East coast folks... I finally get to watch the same time as y'all. :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. Looks like they finally finished.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Dang it, Trey is in trouble. Don't like that. :-(

    ReplyDelete
  30. What's the point of having them look for the fish?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Smart couple having backpacks on wheels.

    ReplyDelete
  32. yuck... I accidentally looked at the rats.

    ReplyDelete
  33. They have such bad luck, dang!

    ReplyDelete
  34. I know Petals said she was sick on FB.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I did enjoy the blond shooting herself in the head behind the "twinnie" at the buses. It's not just us!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Hope Petals feels better soon.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Did he just say drag queen? LMAO

    ReplyDelete
  38. Poor Petals. I hope she's better soon.

    Come on Trey and Lexi!!!! I'm nervous for them.

    ReplyDelete
  39. What did they forget to do? I was reading an email and missed it.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Yep, that's what I thought. Yikes.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Darn, I like them and now they have to go back and complete the course.

    ReplyDelete
  42. They had to take the actual river boat, not a private one. They also misdirected the team following them.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I don't think I will make the Good Wife tonight. I am ready to crash.

    ReplyDelete
  44. The river boat lands in a particular spot, then they must make their way on foot. The private boat brought them right there, skipping the "on foot" bit.

    ReplyDelete
  45. They also misdirected the team following them

    I didn't think that was against the rules.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Of course, they didn't mean to misdirect them. They had no clue they were doing it wrong themselves!

    ReplyDelete
  47. The first rule of TAR - Read the clue! (and don't believe what the other team tells you LOL)

    SueGee (who will get to watch it for herself in a hour)

    ReplyDelete
  48. Well, it bumped my pool team ahead a bit!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Good, I like Rob and Kelly.

    ReplyDelete
  50. They're still wrong, though, I think. Not good or Trey and Lexi

    ReplyDelete
  51. Chippies are still in it.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Yes!!

    I bet it's a non-elimination

    ReplyDelete
  53. Oh, I hate that they are going home. Other than the twinies I like all of them.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Becky, I agree with you. It's going to be hard watching a lot of them go.

    ReplyDelete
  55. See you guys Wed. Thanks, Jackie.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Well, thank you Jackie. It's greatly appreciated.
