The Amazing Race All-Stars: 'Accidental Alliance' Blog Party - April 28


Oh my ... it looks like three teams are going to team up against Brenchal. Too bad, so sad. Although they have been running a good race for the most part and are definitely more bearable in their latest 15 minutes of CBS reality show fame, I wouldn't be heartbroken if they were knocked off the racetrack!

As the show airs  ... and it's actually airing ON TIME here this week ... I'll update this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest! As always, the party is in the comments area. Come watch the show with us!

Here are the latest blog pool standings going into tonight's episode:
Jen & Caroline - Lynn1, Buzzmaam, DLA
Dave & Connor - Becky, Auntie Leigh, Rochelle
Brendon & Rachel (Brenchal) - Terry in TX, Brian
Cord & Jet (Cowboys) - ML, Nana in NW, Delee
Leo & Jamal (Afghanimals) - Jackie, Jennamom, Merrilee

Philiminated --
Mark & Mallory - SueGee, jonMD1627, Margo
Joey & Meghan - Brenda, Zoetawny, Dusty
Margie & Luke - Donna in AL, Monty924, PDXGranny
Jessica & John - Sharon S, David, Rbennie
Flight Time & Big Easy - Laurie, Donna in FL, nicklepeed

Teams are on their way to Switzerland. Uh-oh. All the teams are on one train except for Jet and Cord. They got lost and are on the next one.

Rachel quote: "Who needs friends?"

There's a bunching point at the William Tell clue and the cowboys show up. Now they're driving to Luzern. Heh. Brenchal got lost.

Teams have to rehab hotel rooms wrecked by rock stars. Um. Okay. Brenchal is still lost. All the other teams are at the hotel. Brenchal is now there. The cowboys finish first, then the Afghanimals. Now the girls and Dave/Connor are also on their way. Brenchal remains last.

Teams have to guess what a huge doohickey was used for (to drill a tunnel). Then they must figure out the year of their product placement Ford Mustang.

Cowboys still in the lead. Followed by Dave/Connor.

Roadblock has them delivering milk via dog sled and gondola.

Apparently there is no Detour tonight. It's the cowboys in the lead closely followed by Dave/Connor. Gah. Brenchal is now in third place. Oh my gosh, Dave and Connor have taken over the lead! The Afghanimals, Dave/Connor and Cowboys are now all bunched up in a gondola heading to the pit stop. I think the girls are still stuck at the Roadblock.

Pit Stop:
1. DAVE AND CONNOR! They won a 2015 Mustang/
2. Jet and Cord
3. Leo and Jamal
4. Brenchal

The girls are still at the Roadblock.

It's a non-Philimination leg. Jennifer and Caroline are still in it!

  4. Worried about the Cowboys. I'd love to see them win, but they aren't off to a good start on this leg.

  12. I wouldn't mind the Accidental Alliance if it included the Cowboys. I'm pretty sure I'd be happiest if the Cowboys of father/son team won.

  13. I did not plan on having to consider a new computer this year but...

  14. Thanks Jackie! It is such a dream to drive.

  15. Lynn, you might be surprised at how cheap you can get a powerful laptop these days. You will just have to deal with Windows 8 (ugh)

  17. Oh, Lynn, I'm double sorry. I read it wrong.

    Hope your computer lasts. I had one like that a couple years back. Only 3 years old and it died. Couldn't help it, so had to get another one.

  19. I used to chambermaid when I was a kid. I had an eye of an eagle little old lady who used to inspect the room.

    So, when I went in to the military, my beds were perfect. LOL

  24. I owned a 65 Ford Mustang. A silver one with a red racing stripe convertable!! Boy I loved that car. When we sold it I wouldn't even be there. The buyer wanted to know why and my husband told him I had that car longer than my youngest child.

  25. Jackie, do you know how to get the ads to stop popping up on Google? This is driving me nuts.

    ReplyDelete
  26. These blondes cannot do anything themselves. That sucks.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Why did you have to get rid of it, Becky. Mustangs are great.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Swissies or Berners?

    I think Swissies

    ReplyDelete
  29. Wait, they have long hair, so Berners

    ReplyDelete
  30. Ouch, that had to have hurt.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I hope it's not a non-elim round...

    ReplyDelete
  32. Geesh, that looked like it didn't even bother him to pick them up. Wow.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I think the only ones in trouble right now are the blondes.

  34. We had three children a a private university at the same time. My husband, youngest child and I lived on less money that we sent to St. Mary's University each month. But it was worth it. We have told them to not look for us to do without to leave them money. We gave them their inheritance, the college education to get a good job and make a good living for your family. Also told them that if DH and I timed it just right that we would go broke the day before we died!

  35. I don't get the bad attitude towards the cowboys

    ReplyDelete
  36. Penny - Google Adblock (free program).

  44. Okay. Thank you for hosting us, Jackie. See you next Sunday.

    Survivor looks great this Wednesday, but I have to work in the rain. Ugh! The perils of baseball.

    See everyone next week!!!

    ReplyDelete
  45. GREAT!!! My boys came in first and second and the blonds didn't get the boot! No netter than that.

    I bet the 1914 Mustang can't be bought for $6,500! That's what I paid.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Thanks Jackie. I made it through the show with my old dinosaur.
    Good night everyone.

    ReplyDelete
  47. See you guys Wed. Jackie thanks for the invite.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Becky, I feel same way. Paid for the education, helped support you through school, that's it. LOL

    Thank you Jackie. I'll look it up.

    ReplyDelete
  49. THAT looks like fun!!!! Heeeheee

  50. Happy fresh start to the week everyone. Good luck computer shopping Lynn!

    Thanks Jackie!

  51. I know I am in the minority but I do not like Dave and Conner. I don't like how he reacted to getting U-turned. He acted like a nasty, bitter old man...not unlike how Rachel has behaved in the past. I expected him to better than that. He was very petty. It's a game, get over it. The only ones deserving are the Cowboys!
