The Amazing Race: November 25 Episode Blog Party


Sure, the show is starting on time here on the East Coast. Of course, with so many folks on the road returning home from a long Thanksgiving weekend, the viewership is bound to be down a bit. But will that stop us from our blog party? No way!

As the show airs here, I'll update this entry with the major events. However, as always, the real fun will be in the comments area. Come join the party!

Getting only a flag as the next clue, they need to figure out that it's the Netherlands where they need to go. James and Jaymes looked up the flag on the Internet. Trey and Lexi thought it was France. Thankfully, they're in with the Chippendales who steered them right.

Grr. The twinnies found the Fast Forward clue first. The Chippendales aren't that far behind them, but Abbie and Ryan got hung up in Frankfurt missing their connecting flight.

The twins have to eat raw fish on a bus which will go underwater. They finished the task and are heading to the Pit Stop just as the Chippendales arrive at the FF. Of course, the twins win the leg. They also won $5,000 cash each.

The Detour - Back in Time - recreate a Rembrant masterpiece. Organ to Grind - operate huge organ and collect 30 Euro in tips. U-Turn ahead.

James and Jaymes don't want to do anything at the Double U-Turn. But, in the end, they U-Turned Ryan and Abbie. Sigh.

The Roadblock has them pole vaulting over a water-filled ditch. Ho-hum.
James and Jaymes made it second.

As per their previous plan, Trey and Lexi U-Turned the Chippendales, knowing they already were through. That keeps Abbie and Ryan from U-Turning the goat farmers. Those last two teams are traveling together. I sense a break up ahead.

Trey and Lexi are third to the Pit Stop.

Uh-oh. The last two teams just hit the U-Turn. Eep.

Josh and Brent are in 4th place.

Abbie and Ryan came in last, Philiminated. There goes the big two million. They're quite bitter about the Chippendales.

  20. Hey, they are not cut throat after all. I missed them taking off their shirts. Getting a plate of ribs, potato salad and pinto beans. Can I get y'all anything?

    ReplyDelete
  21. And glad you joined us SueG and Delee.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Thank you Jackie. I thought they still had the fast forward.

    Delee: I don't like Abby and Ryan, either. They are so far behind, I don't think they should be blocked. I always hate it when people use it.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Man, they'll be more down in the dumps when they see they got U-turned. :::sigh:::

    ReplyDelete
  24. Hi Becky.

    I was hoping someone would choose the painting recreation!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I forget, what happens if someone is u-turned after they are past that point? Does it count?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Sharon - Nothing happens if they're already through that point.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Sharon - I don't think it counts at all if they have already past that point and checked in.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Did anyone U-turn the goat farmers?

    ReplyDelete
  29. Becky - They can't. Trey and Lexi U-Turned the Chippendales (who were already through that point).

    ReplyDelete
  30. Relieved for James and Jaymes. Sorry for the dilemma for my team Josh and Brent.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Goat farmers are funny too.

    ReplyDelete
  32. They have had the worse luck

    ReplyDelete
  33. I thought Trey and Lexie made a pact with the Chippies.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Well, have to work this coming Wednesday, so won't be here AGAIN for the Survivor fun. But will be here for the TAR fun.

    Thank you Jackie; and I will see everyone next Sunday!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Ryan is really bitter. After all, it wasn't the Chippendales who originally put them so far behind -- it was their flight!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Becky -- They did. That's why they U-Turned them when they knew they had already gone through that point.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Thank you, Jackie. See you Wed.
