The show is actually starting on time tonight here on the East Coast. Are pigs flying in Hoboken or something? As the show airs, I'll update this entry with the major happenings as well as the Pit Stop order and elimination (or not) at the end. So, please refresh the page to get the latest.
I don't know if it's the constant scheduling issues with the show due to sports delaying it or perhaps casting, but I'm not as into the show this season as I have been over the years. Although I'm not thrilled with Max and Katie, they're far from a team "I love to hate." Meghan and Joey, the YouTube best friends, are growing on me each week. I like the hockey dudes, Bates and Anthony. There's no one (other than Max) I have any real reservations about at this point. Hmm ...
When the show starts, the real party will be in comments ... come join us!
Teams are heading to Edinburgh, Scotland. Caution: U-Turn ahead. On the flights, those who thought they were first are actually last -- Joey/Meghan and Roller Derby don't know they're trailing.
Roadblock - they have to learn how to play a harmonizing note on the bagpipes while marching.
Detour - Tasty Pudding or Whiskey Rolling -- Prepare meat pudding or deliver whiskey barrels. Beth and Mona will have a Speed Bump ahead. Max and Katie actually liked their haggis. Bates and Anthony double U-Turned Joey and Meghan. Max and Katie U-Turned Mona and Beth.
Mona and Beth have to do a bowling thing (skittles) as their Speed Bump.
Pit Stop --
1. Max and Katie -- won ten grand each
2. Bates and Anthony
3. Caroline and Jennifer
4. Mona and Beth
5. Joey and Meghan -- Philiminated. :-(
Next week is the two-hour season finale. We can only hope it might air somewhere near on time.
I'm glad the show is on time, but I'm starting to dread it because it means the weekend is over. I wish it were on another night!
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie & Sharon
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn, Hi Jackie!
ReplyDeleteAnd, in the summer, it's Big Brother in the time slot on Sundays with all the sports delays. :-( I wish they'd just call it a 9pm show rather than haphazard week to week.
ReplyDeleteI agree Jackie
ReplyDeleteYeah it is still daylight outside here
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie, thank you for hosting us!
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon and Lynn!
hi Penny
ReplyDeleteJackie, how long from the time they start this show, until the final race, does it last?
ReplyDeleteThey are getting a lot of face time, that's not good.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the bag pipes. But, they really are hard to play. LOL
ReplyDeleteI was shocked that a female HS friend picked up the bagpipes and does parades in Manhattan and such.
ReplyDeletePenny - I've read that it takes about 30 days from start to finish.
ReplyDeleteHey, Jackie, Lynn, Sharon, Penny and anyone who arrives after me.
ReplyDeleteHi Becky
ReplyDeleteYes, thank you, Jackie.
ReplyDeleteI could do Ok on drinking scotch! LOL
ReplyDeleteHi Becky!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jackie, I thought it was about 30 days, but was unsure.
ReplyDeleteAre they going to get in trouble for not rolling the barrels?
ReplyDeleteDid any of you ever walk barrels as a kid?
ReplyDeleteMy grandparents had a kerosene kitchen stove and the delivered it in barrels. We would race them across the back yard walking them like one would do a log.
Joey is funny.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering that too, Sharon. I thought you had to roll them. I hope the hockey guys do not get a penalty.
ReplyDeleteMy aunts used to talk about rolling barrels...but I never did it.
ReplyDeleteI also hope no penalty for those boys..I'm rooting for them and the internet pair I think.
Yes, Becky, Joey is hilarious. He looks at life as one big playground.
ReplyDeleteOh, come on guys, don't U-turn them...not good, it could back fire if they get a penalty. Bummer.
ReplyDeleteI sure wish they had u-turned Max and Katie.
ReplyDeletePlayed that before. You have to set the pins up yourself. It's funny, but it's a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Sharon. I don't like Max so much
ReplyDeleteDang, I didn't want them to come in first. Bummer.
ReplyDeleteI don't even want to watch the rest of the show tonight... it will be sad seeing them try to do both tasks.
ReplyDeleteAh, good, no penalty for not rolling the barrels.
ReplyDeleteI hate to see people u-turned when they are far behind anyway. It wouldn't have mattered.
I haven't like Max since the beggining -- and I have him and Megan.
ReplyDeleteDarn. I hope it's not a elimination leg, but I have a feeling it is. I hate to see Joey and Meghan go.
ReplyDeleteStill like my Bates and Anthony though.

ReplyDeletebeggining??? LOLOLOL I meant beginning.
ReplyDeleteSo on the U Turn they have to do Haggis and Barrels? I do not see the girls succeeding on that one!
ReplyDeleteThe sad part is that neither of the teams who were U-turned were really stiff competitiion for the hockey guys or Max and Katie
ReplyDeleteJackie, you have some spam!
ReplyDeleteNot anymore, Delee!
ReplyDeletePoof it went!
ReplyDeleteI hate to see the u-turn used, but especially since both of the other teams are so far behind. However, in their defense, they don't know how far behind that both of the other teams are from them. One team did say the next flight was an hour behind them.
ReplyDeleteA few weeks ago I accidentally left the word verification off and didn't notice. In one day I had nearly 100 spam comments not caught by Blogger.
ReplyDeleteDon't get too excited Joey.
ReplyDeleteThat would not be fun to clear, Jackie! Remember tonight!
ReplyDeleteThese two women are terrible at getting lost.
ReplyDelete:(
ReplyDeleteDang it!! I'm sad about this.
ReplyDeleteBye, guys! Thanks for the laughs, Joey.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting us Jackie.
ReplyDeleteYou can still catch his stuff on YouTube, Becky!
ReplyDeleteHated to see those kids go.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie.
Nite everyone.
Thanks for coming by!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jackie. Appreciate you hosting us!
ReplyDeleteSee everyone Wed.
Jackie, why would anyone who comes across a SPAM address even check it out.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I am off. Want to go see if they have Malcolm at the Ponderosa yet. See you guys Wed.
ReplyDeleteJackie, thanks again.
Finale? Wow. I didn't realize it was getting that close!!! Go Bates and Anthony!!
ReplyDeleteThis is cool!
