Oh my ... it looks like the father/son team have severe difficulties tonight. Apparently David (father) really did tear his Achilles tendon. They show him racing on crutches while we know that folks with two good legs have problems with many of the challenges. I really hope they make it as they're a team I truly enjoy watching. But I fear that if they don't go tonight, it's just a matter of time. Sigh.
As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this post with the major happenings. Remember to refresh the page to get the latest! However, as always, the real fun is in the comments area. Come join us!
The teams are off to New Zealand. John and Jessica did indeed give David and Connor the Express Pass. Good. David's Achilles tendon is diagnosed as torn. He's planning on staying in the race as long as he can. All the teams are on the same plane to Auckland, NZ, then have to fly to Christchurch. Chuck and Winona screwed up and booked the last flight available.
Oh my gosh! Connor and Dave got the first jet boat reservation!
Detour - Rev it up -- drive ATVs to then race cars on a course or Reel it In -- catch one fish at least 12" long.
Dave and Connor use the Express Pass.
Roadblock - Who wants to keep their race from going to the dogs? They have to race to deliver eggs through a course with dogs. Molasses and feathers for free!
Dave and Connor are heading to the Pit Stop!
1. Dave and Connor -- Won a trip to Bangkok
The race is still going. Phil gives them their next clue. They're undecided whether they should continue with Dave's injury.
It ends there. Oh my. A cliffhanger!

Hey, Jackie. I am here and ready to watch.
Hi Jackie and Becky!!!!!
Starting on time again tonight. We're going to get spoiled!
Hey, Penny. How is your brother?
I made it! I feel guilty though, I'm missing Genesis in The Bible.
Yep, he really described John perfectly. LOL
Sharon, I set my DVR so I can watch it later.
Thank you for asking Becky.
He's doing fine. He's been terribly tired. They changed his medicine. He has to be in the hospital for weeks, so I think the tiredness is more out of being bored than anything else.
The Bible show should be interesting. I'm DVring mine also. I'll watch it later.
I need to get a DVR. I'm usually on top of tech, but for some reason I've procrastinated the one thing that could really change my life (by letting me go to bed at a decent hour!).
Penny, glad to hear your brother is doing better. Sorry to hear he is stuck in the hospital though.
Penny, that is good news about your brother. Does he like to read?
Unfortunately, no, Becky. He has trouble holding things for a long period of time because he really doesn't have full capacity in them. He really wants to go home, but they won't let him because they do not think he'll heal properly.
oops, I should say full capacity in his arms and hands
That completely sucks for them. Why didn't the son do it?
Oh, darn! Father and son might be in trouble.
Hi folks.
How's your brother, Penny?
LOL - these young ones are tooo dang funny. Duh?
Never mind, just caught up. Glad to hear you brother is feeling better. If the hospital has wi-fi, you could get him a Kindle Fire and a video subscription (like $79 for the year) and he can watch old TV shows and movies whenever he wants.
Penny, how about a audio book?
At least she tried to learn how to drive stick.
Hi Joe, thank you for asking. Go up a few. Becky asked. It is so kind of you. You are all so wonderful. The prayers are helping him.
He's just so tired of being in the hospital. I just think he's better off there right now. He'll get the right supplies and care.
Smart move for F&S.
He has a computer. The one problem is, they have him on his sides so his bed sore will heal. They did a skin graft and do not want him to lay on it, so they have him on his sides all the time. They've been drugging him up (too much I think) so it won't be so hard on him.
I can understand him being sick of the hospital, though. Poor guy ... my heart goes out to him.
I am glad the F/S took the express pass, also, Becky. I'm just wondering how it will affect them later on.
Hey, Joe. I have been meaning to ask you, what subject do you teach and what level?
Thank you, Jackie. Yeah, it is the pits for him; and he doesn't like the food. He's a picky eater, but at least my one brother and sister will bring him a favorite meal once a day. LOL
Penny, I hate they had to use the Express Pass, but at least they will win a leg and get a reward. At the rate the car drivers are going perhaps they will get a good lead time.
Speaking of school, isn't it kind of early for Spring Breaks this year??
Yeah, you are right, Becky. At least the father and son will get something good out of him and a head start on the next step.
Howdy everyone! Better late than never I guess!!
SueGee
Becky, I teach college Chemistry
I thought they used the EP. Doesn't that mean you can go straight to check in.
This one is HILARIOUS!!!
Congrats Joe - I work in the Chem Dept @ a major University but in the shops area. I sold lab glass for over 30 years before they closed my location.
SueGee
Oh man, even my hockey players went in the wrong direction. :-(
I hate when teams start bickering. Joe, you must be one smart dude!
Um. Well. I took college Chemistry and lived to tell the tale.
Isn't it funny the way time drags when you are waiting for a show to start and zips through when it arrives.
I just looked at how to use the express pass. It allows a team to skip the present task with no penalty. So, they so not skip directly to the pit stop unless it's the last task they use the EP on. SO, the F/S still had to do the very next challenge.
Thanks, Penny.
Yeah. Connor is doing the Roadblock now.
So did I Jackie, "Baby" Chem for non-majors LOL. Never ever thought I would have a career in it.
SueGee
Only the Fast Forward lets you skip all tasks in a leg.
Same here, Jackie. I admire anyone who can do Chemistry well. I did horrible in high school, but much better in college. It really depends on how well the teacher is and I bet Joe is a fantastic teacher!!!
YAY Father and Son!!!
Where are my hockey players! :-(
I would hate to have to wash that mullet hair after molasses, feathers, and manure water.
Put tape over that mouth!
Dang, Bates and Anthony, pick up you pace!!!
Oh, c-r-a-p!
Wait...we don't get to see what happens with the rest of them?
I am so happy they are being rewarded.
No, don't drop out!!!!
Thanks for having us here, Jackie. I will see you Wed. night.
'night all. It will be another busy day tomorrow.
:::Sigh:::
Thank you for hosting, Jackie.
Thank you for the concerns about my brother. You all are really fantastic.
Will see you all Wednesday!!!!
Just one last thought, perhaps the next leg is a non-elim round.
Thanks Jackie. Have a good start to the week everyone!
Thanks for coming by, all!
