Sigh. The show isn't scheduled until 8:30pm ET due to football. I fear it's a bit behind schedule even at that. So, while I'm getting this post up for the regular 8pm ET slot in case folks show up at that hour, it will be more than a half-hour later that the real party will start.
Once things get underway, I'll update this entry with major happenings as they air. However, as always, the real fun is the party in the comments area. Come join us!
8:41pm ET and we're finally starting. The teams are off to Barcelona, Spain. The goat farmers actually caught up with the other teams, so all are off to an even start. But they're soon in last place once again.
Roadblock - Who wants to get smashed? It's a tennis challenge, not a drinking competition.
Detour - Spin it, repairing a windmill. Bullit - Become bulls in a bullfight.
Pit Stop --
1. Trey and Lexi - won a trip to Riveria Maya (?)
2. James and Jaymes
3. Josh and Brent beat out the twins!!! Yay!
4. Natalie and Nadiya -- rats, non-Philimination leg.
Next week is the big two-hour finale. Please don't let the "twinnies" winnie!
Hey, Jackie. Waiting, waiting, waiting. I feel sorry for those of you on the East coast.
ReplyDeleteI will be so glad when football season is over!
The show is due to start at 8:41 ET here.
ReplyDeleteAh, 60 minutes is just now over. I was intrigued with 60 min. tonight. Two great stories.
ReplyDeleteBTW, tell Vincent that I forgot to mention that I loved his picture this week.
Please let it be the twins to go home. I like the rest of the group. I did notice on the preview that they have trouble with a standard shift car. Why oh why do teams apply and not know how to drive a standard shift?
ReplyDeletehi Jackie & Becky & everyone else
ReplyDelete~~~Splash~~~
ReplyDeleteHowdy everyone!
I had dinner all planned to be done when this was to be over and then we could watch the finale of Boardwalk Empire over on HBO and have dinner - but nooooo CBS messes with us again!!
SueGee
Hey, Lynn. I was beginning to think it was just going to be Jackie and me tonight.
ReplyDeleteHi folks.
ReplyDeleteHey Becky, how's your Mom?
Jackie, how's Jersey doing post Sandy?
Hey, SueG.
ReplyDeleteMallorca is a fairly small island so I don,t see anyone getting really badly lost
ReplyDeleteSPLASH~~~~ Hi everyone! Thank you, Jackie!
ReplyDeleteBecky - I loved the story of the guy in the N. Korean prison. How he escaped is amazing. Amazing story!
ReplyDeletePenny
So true Becky...I made sure my son learned on a standard transmission and he actually thanked me years later!
ReplyDeleteSueGee
Joe - My part of NJ is coming along. A lot of homes still show tarps over their roofs and missing siding. Lots of HUGE unearthed tree stumps, lots of storm debris still along the streets. But, as of last week, my city had 100% power once again. Other areas are still in rough shape.
ReplyDeleteEither Lexie & Treyor or the Chippies can finish first and I will be happy. I want the goat farmers finish third.
ReplyDeleteTrey saw it first, he should have been given the first. LOL
ReplyDeleteMe, too, Becky.
ReplyDeleteHey, Joe and Penny. Momma was much better today, Joe. Thank you for asking. They put her on a new medication and she had a horrible reaction. She was almost comatose when I arrived. I went to the Director of Nursing and explained that medication affects her very hard because she never takes it. They eliminated the morning dose and she was better today.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear things are coming back. We had an ice storm about 15 years ago with similar power outages in March. Not the kind of building destruction, but I remember being without power for 10 days and weeks of trees and branches piled everywhere. After a while, you get used to it. And in the short run, it's all adrenaline. But it was really depressing in that middle period.
ReplyDeleteOh my....LOL...these girls are a trip....
ReplyDeleteThat's the one thing I made sure I learned when I was young...a stick shift. My fist stick shift was a 3 speed on the column. An old Chevy truck. LOL
I'm not sure how the goat farmers have managed to hang in this long...but I don't think they can win.
ReplyDeleteSueGee
SueG, I love your avatar.
ReplyDeleteWell, Jackie, I feel horrible for all of you. We were in S. Carolina when Hugo came through and we had no power for over a month, if not more. I remember not having cable for 3 months. I was in college and the college decided to start classes a week after the storm. They had generators. We had no power, so I had no curling iron. Man, I looked bad...LOL
ReplyDeleteCome on Lexi and Trey....go Jaymes and James.
ReplyDeleteWhere is Petals she would love this tennis stuff
ReplyDeleteCome on James, concentrate!!!
ReplyDeleteMy kids were not that bad when they were learning to drive.
ReplyDeleteTOO, TOO FUNNY, girls
ReplyDeleteWhy would he attempt this???
ReplyDeleteThanks Becky. I have a ton from the old days of chat and message boards and some still work!
ReplyDeleteSueGee off to finish dinner now see you all later
Poor Josh. He should have passed on this. I think it may cost them third place.
ReplyDelete~*~*~ splash ~*~*~*
ReplyDeleteLate...
Hey Ms Jackie, Becky, Lynn, Sue,Penny & BF Joe.
ReplyDeleteTennis??? What'd I miss?
Late too--- finally (I hope!) have my computer running so it doesn't freeze up every 3.5 minutes.
ReplyDeleteWas so hoping they could leave the twins in the dust and get rid of them finally...
Penny - I hated going to work while my home power was out. I needed to do laundry and, though I was heating water up for baths, I felt like a grunge. And, it was too dark by candlelight to actually see what I was doing while getting ready to go.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I think the goat farmers might finally be out of it tonight.
Ah I see!
ReplyDeleteImagine - they are hot now? In 40 days, the guys will be in Australia for the Open, and the on-court temps are sometimes upwards of 100 degrees.
Yeah!!!!
ReplyDeleteFinally!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it is December. November was a blur, between the election & Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least the twins have to drive again.
ReplyDeleteThose caves are cool!
ReplyDeleteHey Sharon!
ReplyDeleteI miss you guys seeing you guys several times a week...When does BB begin again?
Petals likes her BOYS playing tennis more than she likes tennis.
ReplyDeleteGood picking!
ReplyDeletebeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI've been in a few caves...so eerie but so beautiful
Becky - perfect avatar for you! :)

ReplyDeleteI think bullfighting is cruel, though...:-(
ReplyDeleteI hope the goat farmers don't do bull fighting.
ReplyDeleteJoe - you know me too well. hur hur
ReplyDelete(actually, loving my boys did ferry me toward a love of the actual game. Sort of like when men begin to enjoy womens gymnastics?)
I've missed being here recently -- holidays and being sick and trying to get my computer running better have worked against me.
ReplyDeletebull fighting? No... :(
ReplyDeleteBoy those Chippendale boys look exceptionally good tonight...
ReplyDeleteJoe - how are your little, bitty babies doing (speaking of bulls!)?
ReplyDeleteChippies are funny. I thought they would just be pretty faces.
ReplyDeleteHey Petals - long time no see!!
ReplyDeleteI'm in and out of here again but will try and check again before its done.
I have a really hard time making it on Wednesday - not getting home from work early enough lately!!
SueGee (I think BB starts around 4th of July)
Petals, when men start taking an interest in GIRL's gymnastics they are one step away from jail.
ReplyDeleteOh no....
ReplyDeleteCome on, Lexie. Suck it up! You are a TX gal. Act like it.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I shouldn't have posted that. I could think it, but shouldn't have said it.
ReplyDeletePetals,
ReplyDeleteThe fur kids are doing well, mostly. We still walk our 3 or sometimes 4 miles per day. Willie is starting to seem a little old.
How's Bash?
Thank you, Petals. Love my Beagles.
ReplyDeleteSharon - I'm liking the Chippendales more and more each week. They have a good sense of humor and, despite not coming across as too bright in the beginning legs, they aren't bad at the race at all.
ReplyDeleteHow old is Willie, Joe. And what kind of dog is he -- other that very big.
ReplyDeleteWillie is a Great Pyrenees. He's 7-1/2. But he tore his CCL 3-1/2 years ago. That ages him a bit more than the calendar
ReplyDeleteSue - Sundays are hard for me lately - I've been going to bed at like 7pm.
ReplyDeleteGetting into a better routine, tho.
Joe - Bashie is a lunatic, same as always. hehe...He got into a clove of garlic soaking in olive oil...he ate it, the oil, and the bread next to it.
(note: doggie garlic breath is nothing compared to doggie garlic farts)
Lexi can't give up!
ReplyDeleteme too, Penny - re bullfighting. It breaks my heart. Actually, it is what turned me OFF of Rafa (Nadal). He frequents the fights, cheers, etc.
ReplyDeleteYuck!
Mallorca. Close to Rafa. And Prince - he has a villa there.
ReplyDeleteWho said women drivers are bad? Oh, yeah, that was my husband talking about me. He says I can't even drive a grocery cart at the store safely!
ReplyDeleteI don't watch bull fighting either.
ReplyDeleteOH GOSH, please let bot of them make it!!!! Don't get lost!!!
ReplyDeleteBecky - a terror in the aisles?LOL
ReplyDeleteI really like these two. I also like Jaymes and James.
ReplyDeleteI agree about Jaymes and James Jackie. So glad they are in it, most likely to the end.
ReplyDeleteAnd dare I hope we are going to see the last of the twins tonight???
Jackie- I hope you get power soon. I know its hard. I'm thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteI hope these are the final 3. They won't do final 4, I hope, anyway.
ReplyDeleteThese girls are rude.
Joe, Great Pyrenees are beautiful dogs.
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, Petals, unfortunately, I am afraid he is correct.
Oh, wonderful!!! It looks like the twinies are last.
OH NO!
ReplyDeleteOh, crap!
ReplyDeleteNOOOOOOooooooooooooo!
ReplyDeleteI thought next week was the finale???
ReplyDeleteOMG The
ReplyDeletetwins survived
ugh...
ReplyDeleteHopefully Survivor will end better than this...
See you then.
Thanks for hosting Jackie!
It is a two hour show next week. I hope the football game ends on time and I hope the twins get the boot for good.
ReplyDeleteWell, crap! This means they can pull ahead next week. Crap, crap, crap!
ReplyDeleteWell, I'll see you all Wed for Survivor night!!!
The finale is two hours (just checked). So it will be four teams going in, one elimination and three teams going for the finish line.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jackie. See you Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jackie!!
ReplyDeleteBet the underdogs win!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie. Nite everyone
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by, everybody!
