Let's get the party started!
They're staying in Malaysia at least for the start of the leg.
Roadblock -- Who's got a spring in their step? It entails jumping on a trampoline thingee supported by locals to pull down a clue.
Next they're off to Kuala Lampur with only three flights available. Dave/Connor are still maintaining their lead.
Margie tells us Luke came out to her as gay. Not a problem.
Uh-oh, the second flight is delayed and the third flight will get there before it. Dave/Connor, the Cowboys and the Afghanimals are on the first flight.
Detour: Mixmaster or Master Mix -- They have to learn how to DJ and show their scratching skillz. Or they have to mix a drinks into a pyramid of glasses.
Most of the teams go for the drinks part of the detour only to find out it's very difficult. The Cowboys have taken over the lead and are heading to the Pit Stop.
The Afghanimals and Dave/Connor are also heading there.
Pit Stop --
1. The Cowboys - Won a trip to London
2. Dave and Connor
3. Leo and Jamal
Luke is breaking down with frustration (deja vu) on the drink task. I don't see where switching tasks could help him as he can't hear. They HAVE to do this task. Brenchal is also stuck on the drink task.
4. Carline and Jennifer
5. Jessica and John
Rachel, of all people, pep-talked Luke/Margie and Brendan. It really helped Luke. He did it!
6. Flight Time and Big Easy
7. Luke and Margie
8. Brendan and Rachel -- but it's a non-Philimination leg!
I predicted that early on in comments, mind you. They will encounter a speed bump in the next leg.
Heck, Brenchal has improved and they're just about bearable this season.

Hi Jackie
Hi Jackie! Hi Lynn!
SueGee on the LeftCoast
Hi SueGee
Hi! I'm thinking a non-elim should be this week. Your thoughts?
Hey, Jackie, Lynn and all who arrive.
Hi Becky
Hey, Sue Gee. I was thinking the same thing, Jackie.
Jackie I think you are right
Lots of water here...~~~splash~~~
Hi everyone! Jackie, Becky, Lynn, SueGee, and all who arrive after!!!
I've go slightly burned popcorn and margaritas!!!
Becky, I've been meaning to ask, how is your doggy doing??
Hi Becky! Yes Jackie, Non-elim this week. I keep hearing about a very hard roadblock
SueGee on the LeftCoast
Hi Penny!
SueGee on the LeftCoast
Since I am only 5 feet tall I would never be able to jump high enough
I really like Dave and Connor.
I will be in and out of the room tonight...too much going on here LOL
SueGee on the LeftCoast
Come on Cowboys!!!
That would absolutely kill my knees. Looks like fun, though.
I don't think I could do the "trampoline" at all. I'd fall down before I could jump!
Gidget is good, Penny. This is the first "real" home she has had. She spent six years in a kennel.
John has matured a lot, I don't know about her, though.
I love the cowboys and Dave and Connor. I have the father/son as my pool picks.
She needed a good home like yours, Becky. I bet she's in to everything, though. Beagles are nosy little things. LOL
I think I'd wear sneakers on the bamboo trampoline. Were the others barefoot? I didn't notice.
I wonder how long the Benchals will last this time... Most of the teams are pretty strong and it will be one bad cab ride difference
SueGee on the LeftCoast
She is a BEAGLE going through puppyhood! I never realized how well behaved my girls were.
Hi all. =]
non-Elim. hmmmm, it is possible from the pre-views. I really hate the extended two week legs though.
Oh crap
The cousins are not as unlikeable as last time.
On second thought, non-elim or to-be-continued (my favorite NOT)
SueGee on the LeftCoast
Rachel is so dumb. a cocktail waitress and a bar tender are not similar
Way to go Cowboys
LOL. Becky. I guess when you are a show dog and in crates for most of your life, it's hard to be a puppy.
When we go to my MILs we have to put everything way back because between Sarah (beagle) and Kale (Australian Cattledog), they'll get it.
When Sarah was really young, my MIL made a chocolate pie. I told her to make sure she put it really far back on the table because Sarah would get it. They didn't think she would do it.
I went to the store, came back and saw something on her whiskers. I asked my husband if she went in to the dining room. Nope, she was here all the time. I looked at her whiskers again and said, I don't think so. Is that pie all the way back on the table? Yep, I pushed it back. Uhm...I don't think so, look at her whiskers, they have white on them.
We went in to the Dining room and sure enough. The pie was still up to the edge and she had licked everything she could get. The white meringue was on her whiskers.
I got a good laugh. They didn't listen to me. She got herself a treat!!! LOL
Hi folks
Yeah, Cowboys and Dad/Son are finally finished with the task.
Hey, Joe
Hey, Joe.
Do the tasks seem harder to you this year?
Hey Joe
Becky - they are all All-Stars so I would hope they are harder
SueGee
No Free Lunch as the saying goes (or does that date me?)
SueGee
I agree that it should be harder. But I think it harder than any previous All Star ones.
Wow, both look so hard. Uh oh, Luke is losing it. He's got to stop.
That boy is a mess!
I wouldn't be upset to see either of the last two go home. That guarantees it will be non-elim.
I think Rachel and Maggie should team up
Wow, that is so darn hard. I do feel sorry for Brenchal. I can't believe I said that
Wow, that is so darn hard. I do feel sorry for Brenchal. I can't believe I said that
I almost like Rachel.
Wow. Amazing...we're surprised...NOT. LOL
As nice as Rachael was to Luke I am glad it was a nonelim.
Jackie, I am off to bed. Thanks for hosting us.
Thank you for hosting Jackie. It's greatly appreciated.
Sending prayers to Laurie
And, praying for Becky's momma.
See everyone Wednesday.
Thanks Jackie.
See everyone on wed
I thought tonight's show was a little slow in the action.
Thanks for hosting Jackie. =]
Thanks for coming by!
Thanks Jackie. Nite everyone
I have to wonder at this point if the Globetrotters team is paying for the Trotters being on multiple seasons of TAR. It's getting ridiculous. They are TOO famous to be on TAR for even one season, let alone three. It just feels like they are on to advertise the Trotters, and what the hell do they need a million dollars for? I'm sure they are not uber rich, but they have good high profile jobs. Come on now.
They also are quitters, if anyone remember when they had to take a four hour penalty because one of them wasn't smart enough to finish a challenge and I think that got them Phileminated.
I hope I'm not the only TAR fan who hates the Trotters and cringes when they get on a season and roots for them to be eliminated ASAP.
