The Amazing Race: November 17, 2013 Episode Blog Party


Oh my. It's actually starting at its scheduled time of 8pm here on the East Coast. Be still, my heart! As the show airs here, I'll update this post with the major happenings -- refresh the page to get the latest updates! But, as always, the real party is in the comments section. Come join us!

As last week was a non-Philimination leg, the Magnificent Margo's latest blog pool update remains the same:

Ally And Ashley - LafayetteLisanne, Jackie,Tammy
Jason And Amy - Nicklepeed, PDXGranny, Brian, DLA
Leo And Jamal - MEB, Margo, Brenda, Caela
Nicky And Kim - Nana in NW, Jennasmom, David
Tim And Marie - SueGee, DKNYNC, Rbennie
Travis And Nicole - Delee, Laurie, Lynn1, Merrilee

Sorry you have been PHILIMINATED
Hoskote And Naina
Rowan And Shane - ML, Becky, Cheryl in NC, KayBeeRN
Chester And Ephraim - Buzzmaam, Donna in AL, Sharon S
Brandon And Adam - Donna in FL, Monty924, Sharon
Tim And Danny - JOKATS, Dusty, Zoetawny

Let's RACE!

The teams have to use their satchel of coins from Norway to unlock SUVs and they're heading into the dunes. U-Turn ahead.

They have to drive dune buggies across the desert to find their next clue. Nicky and Kim burned out the clutch (and almost buried) their dune buggy and had to get a replacement. So, not only are they last, but they're LAST.

Detour - Wedding guest, fix and prepare wedding dish. Beauty Contest has them primping camels.

Travis and Nicole use their Express Pass to bypass the Detour. They hit the double U-Turn and snag Leo and Jamal.

Due to the Express Pass, Nicole and Travis are at the Roadblock -- raft through rapids and grabbing three flags.

Tim and Marie are running around literally clueless. Heh. It sucks to be them right now, huh? (They're my least favorite team this season.)

Pit Stop -
1. Nicole and Travis - each won their choice of any "eco-boost" Ford

Jason and Amy U-Turn the bunnies (Nicky and Kim)

2. Jason and Amy
3. Tim and Marie (boo)

For Nicky and Kim's speed bump they have to make their way through a wave generating pool.

4. Leo and Jamal
5. Ally and Ashley
6. Nicky and Kim -- Philiminated

  1. The good news is, I can watch with you folks this week. The bad news is: I haven't been watching and have no idea what is going on! LOL

  10. If they keep that up, the dune buggy will be buried in the sand soon.

  11. The camel one is hilarious

    ReplyDelete
  12. I would go for the cooking. I don't like camels so much

    ReplyDelete
  13. Yay -- glad the Docs made both of those moves.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I love it Leo and Jamal are getting pay back

    ReplyDelete
  15. how the heck do you choose a prize-winning camel

    ReplyDelete
  16. ROFLOL Wait until she sees "her contestant"!

    ReplyDelete
  17. She handled it well, Becky!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Dressing a cat up would be harder! But at least cat kicks don't really hurt. However, camels don't have claws.

    ReplyDelete
  19. See, I would totally avoid the camels if possible. Just because it is one of those very random, needle-in-a-haystack challenges. It's like dog shows, if you aren't a pro, they all look the same.

  20. Hi all. Storm went through and lost my Internet for awhile.

    So the brothers are mad because they got detoured? LOLOL. Payback is a bitch.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Not to mention camels are mean spirited and nasty

    ReplyDelete
  22. They are kidding, aren't they? They U-turned someone, so it's payback time.

    This woman drives me nuts. So, she U-turns the women. She's so vindictive, isn't she?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Tim ans Marie are really PITA and spoil sports

    ReplyDelete
  24. Have these two girls noticed they've been U-turned yet?

    ReplyDelete
  25. Yes, Tim and Marie are mean. They didn't have to detour these women. They already had a to do something extra. Good, at least they go through it.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Did Ally and Ashley do the speed bump yet?

    ReplyDelete
  27. That's sad, I wanted these women to go further. Poor Nicky and Kim.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Jackie, thank you for hosting us. See everyone on Wednesday!!!

    ReplyDelete
  29. That's a shame. They were nice gals.

    Thank you, Jackie. See you Wed.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I agree Penny - they were more likable than some of the other teams.

    Thanks Jackie!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Thanks Jackie. See all of you on Wed.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Sharon - It was Nicky and Kim who had to do the Speed Bump ... plus they got U-Turned. No way could they have caught up, especially since one also had fears which kept her from making good time in the speed bump.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Thanks for coming by, everyone! I hope Margo and others in the path of the Midwest storms are okay.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Hi Jackie and the whole world,
    This season offered a wonderful cast all very likable and the bunnies will be missed but have good lives.
    Anyone know the chicken recipe the boys were making?
    If anyone knows, please post it here. Thanks!
    John in Cali
