As the show airs here, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments area. Come join us in the fun!
And, Laurie ... I'm thinking of you and your family this evening.
The teams are off to Malaysian Borneo on two separate flights, a few hours apart. Brendan and Rachel are the first on the second flight. Aw, so sad. Heh. Joey/Meghan and Jessica/John are with them on the last flight.
Roadblock -- teams join the roaming gnome in "Who will fall for this one?" -- rappelling down a waterfall to retrieve a clue. Dave/Connor in the lead.
River Delivery or Run through the Jungle are the Detour choices. Both entail going down the river. One has them delivering items via the river. The other has them going through the woods with a "native" and blowdarting a fake bird, then bringing that down river.
Gah! David and Connor missed a clue -- Leo and Jamal take over the lead.The Cowboys almost made the same mistake, but the Afghanimals have turned a new leaf and helped them. They don't want to be double u-turned this season!
The Cowboys didn't return the favor, passing right by as the cousins floundered in the water with their raft coming apart.
Dave and Connor ended up carrying the food on foot. Meghan and Joey (the later flight is finally there) may have made a horrible mistake by not telling their taxi to wait.
Wow. Dave and Connor are back in the lead! They rock!
Pit Stop -
1. Dave and Connor -- won a trip to Budapest, Hungary
2. Cowboys
3. Afghanimals
Meghan and Joey walked for a long time trying to get a taxi. Finally, success. With the river task being unpredictable, they may have a chance to stay in this. Or not.
4. Margie and Luke
Uh-oh. Brenchal, smug in their raft-making skills, are in the rapids with their raft coming apart.
5. Flight Time and Big Easy
6. Caroline and Jennifer
7. Jessica and John
8. Brendan and Rachel
Meanwhile, Joey and Meghan's raft has fallen apart.
9. Joey and Meghan -- Philiminated
Hi Jackie
ReplyDeleteHey, Lynn!
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn, Hi Jackie
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck I miss one week and I am PHILIMINATED lol
ReplyDeleteHowdy everyone! I brought some corned beef potatoes & cabbage tonight. Rye bread for those that just want a sandwich. (I know its early but it was a good sale!!)
ReplyDeleteSueGee on the LeftCoast
I brought some Boursin cheese and crackers.
ReplyDeleteJon, I think the saying is "you snooze, you lose...."
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie and lynn!!!
ReplyDeleteHard to decide to whether to watch TAR or Once Upon a Time....so very hard. I'm DVRing both, so I'll watch Once as soon as this is done. Anxious to see what happens.
Penny
Me too Jon. I haven't decided who to cheer for yet. I like more than one of the remaining groups
ReplyDeleteSueGee on the LeftCoast
I brought some pizza...so dig in!
ReplyDeleteI know they may not be the most popular but I have to root for my Brenchal lol Yes you are the only ones stuck in traffic walk you fools lol
ReplyDeleteI'm actually liking Jon much better this time around. He's mellowed a lot. Not so arrogant.
ReplyDeleteThat looks dangerous to me
ReplyDeleteBoy, it makes me nervous. Flighttime and Big Easy have been really quiet. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteThey're my pool pick.
I can't believe he missed getting one.
ReplyDeleteHey, Jackie and everyone.
ReplyDeleteCome on Daddy and son!
ReplyDeleteThese look fun. I would love to do TAR; but I have a daughter and husband who have 2 left feet and have no urgency whatsoever. LOL
ReplyDeleteI don't see Becky...hope she's okay. Missing people, hope all is okay for all of them.
NOOOOO!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that Jamal and his cousin did not lie this time. It makes me like them a little better.
ReplyDeleteThey deuced up big time.
ReplyDeleteHi Becky. When I didn't see you, was hoping you were okay!
ReplyDeleteI hope Connor and Dave just change tasks since they passed the last one.
ReplyDeleteThe dad and son have been through so much. They are not my pool people, but I wouldn't mind seeing them win; well, actually, with the twins gone, everyone in this group is pretty good!
ReplyDeleteYeah, Penny, I am today. Most of last week was a nightmare.
ReplyDeleteI haven't updated, because of it. She is slowly slipping away.
ReplyDeleteMan, the brothers and the blonds just aren't having a good time, are they?
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me that the other teams still caught up. The task has to be really hard.
Becky I know what you are going through. My Mom is 90 and has Alzheimers. some days she won't even speak to me at all
ReplyDeleteBecky, I am so, so sorry. :-(
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking of you and momma. I should have checked in. I've had two sick doggies.
ReplyDeleteGreat, they finished their tasks. I love the cowboys too.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry Becky.
ReplyDeleteI don't dislike any of the teams now.
ReplyDeleteYAHOOOOO!!!!
ReplyDeleteYay for Dave and Connor
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't those kids tell the cab to wait for them.
ReplyDeleteBecause they're foolish, Jon.
ReplyDeleteThis is why I liked Dave and Connor so much in their own season -- a great relationship on both parts and they're darned good at this!
ReplyDeleteThey friggin lucked out.
ReplyDeleteI like Dave and Connor, too, Jackie.
ReplyDeleteThis task looks reallly hard.
ReplyDeleteYay Globetrotters!!!!!
Hi everyone =)
ReplyDeleteUgggg. Got to get used to closing the curtains again to watch evening TV now so the sun doesn't shine on the screen.
At least Luke is not as cry-cry this season. He's a little more self-reliant. They aren't arguing as much.
ReplyDeleteAnd so it begins a Brenchal meltdown.
ReplyDeleteDon't panic, Rachel, just listen!
ReplyDeleteI know this is OT, but hospice has been wonderful. Lynn, Momma is almost 96. She was so active all her life. She is slipping into Alzheimers from Dementia. I spend 2-4 hours a day and am wiped out when I get home.
ReplyDeleteBecky Hospice really are a great group of people, they helped us out with my Dad and all. I'm so sorry you and your family are going through all this.
ReplyDeleteEven with all my hot air, I would not be able to do the blow dart. lol
ReplyDeleteOH NO. Rachel and Brandon are in real trouble. O_o
Hi folks
ReplyDeleteAny one else a Once Upon a Time fan? I keep going back and forth.
ReplyDeleteOh, boy, Brenchael is in trouble. She is not as annoying this time. Neither are the Afanimals.
ReplyDeleteBecky, my heart goes out to you. I know this is so hard. I'm praying for you and momma. I'm so sorry.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't Petals watch TAR, too? Hope she's okay.
ReplyDeleteBecky it is emotionally and physically draining. It is hard to see them slip away a little more everyday.
ReplyDeleteBecky,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your Mom. That is really hard on the family. Harder, I think, than on the patient. Hope it all works out in everyone's best interest.
When my raft breaks up in the rapids, I'm totally letting the gnome drown.
ReplyDeleteRachel is not so irritating this time. Same with John. Although, he does equate himself to John Smith. LOL
ReplyDeleteIt does not look good for Brenchel
As much as I love Brencal I am trying not to go blue with her and the dart.
ReplyDeleteI hope it's not an elimination round because I do like Meghan and Joey.
ReplyDeleteThey have such a great attitude. Sad to see them go. :-(
ReplyDeleteThis season is hard because I like so many of the teams. It's going to be hard watching a lot of t hem go!
ReplyDeleteEven Brenchal is on better behavior this season. They're almost bearable!
ReplyDeleteWell, see you all Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteI'm having dental surgery, so thank God I don't have to talk... >..<
;-)
My prayers to you Becky. <3
Thank you for hosting Jackie!
Thanks Jackie!!! Hope everyone has a great week and hang in Becky we all have you in our thoughts.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie. Becky I hope that tomorrow will be a good day for your Mom and you.
ReplyDeleteUh oh, looks like Luke's old habits come back next week. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteThose feet look horrible! :-(
Thanks for coming by!
ReplyDeleteHey, Joe and all who arrived after me.
ReplyDeleteJackie, will tell you thank you right now before I forget it.
Hopefully I will be here Wednesday.
