The Amazing Race: April 14, 2013 Blog Party


Sigh. Now we're delayed due to golf. Why does my cable company force me to have a Golf Network if these things aren't just covered on that? Once the show actually starts here on the East Coast, I'll post major happenings here in this very post.

As always, the real party -- assuming people are bothering to watch the show with these ridiculous delays week after week -- is in the comments area.

Okay, 60 Minutes just started a few minutes before 8pm ET. So we're running nearly an hour late. This is not acceptable.

8:56pm EDT and it's finally starting. The teams are off to Switzerland. All the teams are on the same flight, so all are caught up and starting out even once again.

Teams each get a St. Bernard rescue dog and must deliver them by train. Lots of trains so far in Switzerland. The scenery is stunning!

The Roadblock has teams climbing to retrieve a gnome, traversing the north face of a mountain cliff. Wynona/Chuck and Meghan/Joey are stuck at the Roadblock as the other teams move on.

Teams have to use a sled to transport 200 pounds of cheese in their next task. Okay, this has me laughing as they slide down with the cheese! It doesn't make up for my annoyance about the delays for the show each week.

After the cheese, it's on to the Pit Stop!

1. Bates and Anthony -- also won a trip to Bora Bora
2. Mona and Beth
3. Max and Kate
4. Caroline and Jennifer

Joey and Meghan finished the cheese. Chuck and Wynona abandoned their sleds and rolled the cheese down. I don't think they can do that. The editing is making a big deal about Joey and Meghan being lost, but there's no way ... because Chuck and Wynona didn't transport their cheese the right way. They get a 30 minute penalty.

5. Joey and Meghan
6. Chuck and Wynona -- Philiminated

    If it wasn't for this blog I think I would just up on CBS Sundays.

    Thank goodness for the DVR. I also like Chopped, but I have to wait to tape it at the later time... THANKS to CBS. Can't tape three shows at once, sigh.

    I'm probably going to miss a lot of tonights show. I'll catch up in a bit. :)))

    My blog pool team got the boot last week. I have no real strong favorites left in the race -- my personal favorite team had been the father and son. I guess I'll root for the hockey players. They do well and don't fight, plus they can be funny.

    It is so beautiful there.
    Not the tunnel, but outside. LOL

    Gary Busey is so funny. He was fine until his accident. Sure he was crazy before, but his control was better, now, he just says what's on his mind, unfiltered.

    I really like the Hockey brothers.

    I know that Chuck and Wynona probably need the money more than the rest, but his mouth turns me off.

    I will attest to the fact, that these mountains are beautiful and it looks just like we see here. One of my favorite tours on bus, was to the Matterhorn. Will never forget taking a gondola up to the top and witnessing an avalanche. It engulfed a small house as if it weren't even there!!!

    Did Wynona say she wanted to do the task. Someone please slap Chuck up against the side of the head.

    He's a nasty, mean, person. Darn it.

  26. Becky4/14/2013 9:29 PM

    He would pee his pants if it had been him! He didn't even tell her that he was proud of her.

    They are going to need a break from each other after this.

    Wynona will never make it up that hill.

  29. Nickelpeed4/14/2013 9:33 PM

    The hockey brothers have been in first place a lot. Usually, that is not good because it usually means they do not win the game...

  30. Nickelpeed4/14/2013 9:39 PM

    I really would love to see these two guys win. But, we all know how this game goes.

    Boy Becky - you were right - she probably will not make it up!!

  31. Nickelpeed4/14/2013 9:40 PM

    Okay, even with my bad back and knees, I think I could make it up that steep hill, especially for THAT much money. I might be winded, but dang it...I would do it. LOL

    Penny - Some seasons back, a team won most of the legs and won. I can't remember their names, but long-haired young guys.

    25 years ago I could have kicked butt on the race. Now, I'd probably make Wynona look fit.

    I might be able to keep up in a TAR for seniors ha ha

    I have a feeling Wynonna and Chuck will be eliminated this week

    He treated her terrible.

    Thank you so much for hosting, Jackie.

    Everyone have a nice week; and see you all Wednesday night. I'm hoping to not miss many more Survivor nights, but with baseball, it makes it hard.

    Sue - We could be a team! Heights don't bother me, but I can't eat weird foods. I can drive a stick shift and can swim.

    Thanks for coming by folks. I really wish this show had a dependable time slot. Tonight's lack of party people is a testament to lost audience.
