Tonight, tonight ... the Oscars are tonight! But so is The Amazing Race! I anticipate our party might be a bit quiet due to the Oscars, but we're here anyway. Not only that, but the show will be starting on time tonight. So there, Hollywood!
As the show airs, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. But (unless everyone is watching the awards), the real fun is in the comments area. Come join us!
The teams all have to take a water taxi which doesn't leave until morning ... so the four hour penalty teams will start off a bit more even than expected, I believe. Dave and Conner expect the second Express Pass to be given to them, but it might not come about that easily.
Detour -- Pick a Pearl, diving for pearls or Take a Trunk, diving for trunks and set up an underwater dining experience.
Gah, Dave and Conner were in first, but had to go back for their snorkeling gear. The twins can't swim well and are talking about taking the penalty. @@ The lagging two teams haven't arrived yet.
The last two teams will only be an hour and a half behind with the water taxi schedule. The twins decided to try. Too late, they've already disappointed me! Dave and Conner made excellent time and are in second at this time, only team ahead is the YouTube couple.
The Roadblock has them kicking a coconut across the beach on stilts. Who's a well-balanced individual?
1. Bates and Anthony - won a trip to London
2. Dave and Conner - Dave may have ruptured his Achilles tendon
3. Jessica and John
4. Joey and Meghan
5. Chuck and Wynona
The twins are still struggling with the Detour. Now the two last teams are heading to the Roadblock. Pamela and Winnie are lost on their jet ski heading to the Roadblock.
6. Mona and Beth
7. Caroline and Jennifer
The twins switched Detour tasks but they're woefully in last so far.
8. Max and Katie
Pamela and Winnie are struggling with the Roadblock while the twins are heading their way. They're through it!
9. Pamela and Winnie
10. Idries and Jamil -- Philiminated

ReplyDeleteHi Jackie & Vincent!
Sue on the Left Coast
Hey, Jackie and all who arrive.
ReplyDeleteHey, Sue G.
ReplyDeleteHi Becky!
ReplyDeleteHey there!
ReplyDeleteSPLASH! I'm here... I never seem to be able to keep up with watching and posting, but I'll try.
ReplyDeleteHey Jackie and Becky! And everybody!
I will have the Oscars on here so I will let everyone know what's happening.
ReplyDeleteSueGee
SueGee.. didn't see you and you were first! Bora Bora is so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHi! I missed the party last week, and I found out last night that my pool pick fell in too many times. Oh well...now I get to decide who to root for! (I'm pretty sure it's not the newlyweds!)
ReplyDeleteTAR is set up to DVR when it finally comes on here. I know the Oscars will still be going.
ReplyDeleteSueGee
Hi Meb & Sharon
ReplyDeleteSueGee
Good, SueG! That way we won't have to go back and forth. I want get over and look at pictures during commercial.... if I can.
ReplyDeleteHey, Meb and Sharon. Meb, I have a hard time too trying to do both. That is why I am always asking "what happened, I missed it?"
ReplyDeleteIt is sooooo beautiful there!
ReplyDeleteOh dear... the doc's won't do well in this water comp or the treasure trunk... poor guys.
ReplyDelete~~~SPLASH~~~
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie, Becky, SueGee, Meb, and Sharon!!!
Penny
I forgot my google password...again.
We have 20 minutes until it starts. I have a pot roast with potatoes & carrots to share if anyone is hungry
ReplyDeleteSueGee
I have to root for the hockey players. I love hockey.
ReplyDeletePenny
Thank God I finally remembered my password. You don't know how many times I've had to change it because I forgot. LOL
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, SueGee, the pot roast sounds FANTASTIC! I can smell it!
ReplyDeleteLOL
How can you go on a show like this, or Survivor and be afraid of the water?
ReplyDeleteI hate that my pool picks are the ones who came in first last week. Now they are trying to renage on their agreement to give it to the second team to arrive from their alliance. It upsets me more because the father/son team were second.
ReplyDeleteThe doctor is not going to like this challenge.
How dumb is it to go onto a show that you know there's going to be water involved. Are they nuts!
ReplyDeleteyikes....Doctors aren't even trying?!
ReplyDeleteTold you so! The one wouldn't even try. They always have water challanges. So why did they bother to apply?
ReplyDeletePenny I slow cooked the roast with french onion soup. Smells heavenly
ReplyDeleteSueGee
I don't like the idea that the couple who got the express passes will probably screw the father and son over. How horrible.
ReplyDeletePenny, great minds!
ReplyDeleteIt's like the teams who don't bother to learn how to drive a stick shift ...
ReplyDeletehi folks
ReplyDeleteSueGee, THAT sounds soooooo good!
ReplyDeleteI don't think the ones with the express pass have said they won't give it to the second team... They just haven't yet.
ReplyDeleteHi Joe!!
ReplyDeleteHi Joe!
ReplyDeleteTHAT would be SO cool. I like that one. Cool.
ReplyDelete5 minutes to oscar
ReplyDeleteYay...the drs. are trying!
ReplyDeleteI'll tape the Oscars. I did the red carpet because I like to see what they are wearing...mostly because I am sooooo jealous! LOL
ReplyDeleteThey are just doing everything wrong!
ReplyDeleteFor doctors, they sure are not too smart. don't think I'd want them as my doctor. They're taking one clam at a time, not the whole string.
ReplyDeleteI won't be disappointed if the doctors are last. They probably need the money less that the others.
ReplyDeleteLets see how funny Seth McFarland can be
ReplyDeleteSueGee
My apologies to whoever has the doctors for feeling this way.
ReplyDeleteI will swap my two for yours if I offended you.
I know Meb...everything wrong. That's so stupid. Just grab the entire group. Geesh.
ReplyDeleteI had a boss in the Air Force who had a degree in Chemistry and Physics. He was so smart he was an idiot. No common sense. Drove me nuts. Called me Peggy for 3 full years, even when I corrected him.
ReplyDeleteI won't root for anyone who gives up Hundreds tried out and didn't make it act like you want to be there
ReplyDeleteSue
I just noticed his 2 front teeth missing...definitely hockey players. LOL
ReplyDeleteSelfish, selfish, selfish!
ReplyDeleteThat's not good for the father. Hope he's okay.
ReplyDeleteUnder the water is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCome on girls, turn yourselves around. You can do this.
ReplyDeleteI really like the second challenge better. It looks like so much fun.
At least the doctors are taking it well.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing to learn before going on a show -- learn to read a map!
ReplyDeleteOscars starting out pretty lame, First song - "We saw your boobs"
ReplyDeleteSueGee
Sorry, totally ignoring you folks and the show. Final grades are due tomorrow. :(
ReplyDeleteIf someone is even considering to go on a Reality Show, prepare! It seems that every season at least one team is underprepared.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how they just aren't paying attention. The two girls just take off on the jet ski. They don't bother looking at the map to see where they should be going. That just isn't even fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteTurned to Oscars. Just watched the skit with Seth, Sally and William Shatner. How funny
ReplyDeleteJoe, we have missed you.
ReplyDeleteThat's okay, Joe. Getting the grades out are more important. Just glad you joined us.
ReplyDeleteJoe... I sympathize. This is the first weekend in many that I haven't been overwhelmed with grading and planning. Probably be behind again by next weekend.
ReplyDeleteMeb, wonder what the girls thought the map was included for if not part of the plan.
ReplyDeleteLOLOLOLOL Penny! I just read that about your boss the genius/idiot. that is too funny. I had one of those once. He made me so angry one day, I walked out and went to a friend's job and complained about him to her..she had worked for him previously. She called him and he told her to tell me to come back to work, so I did. I would never have hired me back. Giggle!
ReplyDeleteBest Supporting Actor goes to: Christoph Waltz for Django
ReplyDeleteWow, totally unexpected Best Supporting Actor win.
ReplyDeleteWhere are the doctors?
ReplyDeleteNever mind....
ReplyDeleteMeb, that's funny. This boss was in the 70's. I walked in and the first thing he said was, "Oh damn, it's a woman!"
ReplyDeleteI have only seen Lincoln so rooting for it and cast
ReplyDeleteSueGee
If they hadn't made so many mistakes, they could have done better.
ReplyDeleteAt least they didn't just up like the other teams last week.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I'm glad they're gone. I was having a hard time watching the docs.
ReplyDeleteStill don't have a favorite team...maybe the older married couple, but not sure how far they'll make it.
ReplyDeleteMy SIL saw Django and he liked it. However, it's a Tarrantino film and very raw. I would love to see Leonardo DiCaprio win something once. Hes actually a very good actor.
ReplyDeleteDaniel Day Lewis will win for best actor.
OK... thanks Jackie. Off to the Oscars that I have taped so haven't missed anything. She you on Survivor!
ReplyDeleteJackie, thank you so much for hosting us. Really appreciate it. See everyone Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteOkay, gang... I am going to have to go. Hubby wanted the TV and I told him not until my show was over.
ReplyDeleteJackie, thank you for having us. I WILL get to the last three weeks of pictures next week.... I hope.
Take care. See you guys Thursday.
My blog pick team just made it.
ReplyDeleteWednesday, see you Wed.
ReplyDeleteSee everyone Wed!!
ReplyDeleteNight
Thanks Jackie... see you all Wed.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for coming by!
ReplyDeleteRats... my DVR didn't tape it and my boys have been Philiminated. :((
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recap Jackie. I'll have to watch it online this week.
