I hope everybody has had a nice Mother's Day! But, it's on with the show here. (And the blog party!) We're coming down the home stretch tonight. Unless it's a non-Philimination, tonight's episode will determine the final three teams running for the million dollars. I know many folks were upset with the ouster of Jet and Cord last week. However, they did mess up in addition to being U-Turned. That's the way the cookie crumbles and the race is lost.
The only team I personally don't like seeing in the final four is Jennifer and -- they've been helped way too often! I'm not all that thrilled with Brendon and Rachel, but I realize most of my "not thrilled" has to do with their many other times on shows I watch. Enough already! I'd be most happy with a Dave/Connor win, but I wouldn't mind it if Leo and Jamal won it all.
As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest news! As it always is, the real party is in the comments area ... come join us as we watch the show!
The latest blog pool standings from the Magnificent Margo:
Jen & Caroline - Lynn1, Buzzmaam, DLA
Dave & Connor - Becky, Auntie Leigh, Rochelle
Brendon & Rachel (Brenchal) - Terry in TX, Brian
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
Cord & Jet (Cowboys) - ML, Nana in NW, Delee
Teams ready?
The teams are headed to London, then Liverpool. They'll each have to score two soccer goals against a pro goalie to get their next clue. Leo and Jamal, soccer enthusiasts, get there first. They finish and it's on to an historic raised aqueduct for the next clue. Brenchel is through next. Dave/Connor arrive at the soccer stadium last.
Roadblock - Learn and perform a verse of traditional Welsh poetry. "Hei ho Heidi Ho." They learn it while on a boat on the aqueduct. Brendon got the difficult poem first, then the girls got it. Uh-oh ... Dave and Connor are in last place right now.
Shoot it or Boot It -- Shooting a target in the sky or booting with Wellingtons.
Now Leo and Jamal are the ones trailing.
The girls get through the clay pigeon shooting first and are the first headed to the Pit Stop. Dave and Connor are right after them. They go different directions. Someone must be wrong. Brendon and Rachel are almost through the Wellington toss. Leo and Jamal finally arrived at the Detour clue.
OH NOES! Brenchel didn't read the clue right! They have to do it over! Rachel breaks down.
Pit Stop --
1. Dave and Connor!!! Also won a trip to Fiji.
2. Caroline and Jennifer -- actually did well on their own this leg.
Brenchel finished the re-do while the cousins are still shooting. Now both teams are heading to the Pit Stop.
3. Brendon and Rachel. (Sigh.)
4. Leo and Jamal -- Philinated.
There goes my blog pool pick. Now I can give Dave and Connor my FULL support!
HI EVERYONE!!! Thank you for hosting us, Jackie!
ReplyDeleteI miss the Cowboys. :-(
Where is everyone???
ReplyDeleteI hear an echo....hello (((hello)))
:-)
Hey, Jackie and Penny. Happy Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteHi, Penny! I don't think people are used to the show starting on time!
ReplyDeleteHey, Becky.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day!!
ReplyDeleteHow you doing Becky?
I really do not want the blondes or the Afganies to win.
I know, it's unusual to see it start on time.
ReplyDeleteI just do not want these guys to win...I really don't. It was their fault the Cowboys left. Just do not like them that much.
I am good, Penny. Thanking God that he gave me another Mother's Day with Momma.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting, Jackie.
ReplyDeleteThat is a cool aquaduct!
ReplyDeleteI don't want the country singers to win. I hope it is Dave and Connor.
ReplyDeleteHowdy everyone!! Happy Mother's Day - including Moms with furry children!!
ReplyDeleteSueGee on the LeftCoast
Happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeletehi folks
ReplyDeleteDarn!
ReplyDeleteI will be in and out of here as I finish cooking dinner. I already got one dinner cooked for me this week on mt birthday, so I'm outa luck today LOL (My son lives in Iowa)
ReplyDeleteSueGee on the LeftCoast
somehow I don't quite understand how the girls got any girls. They had zero velocity, any halfway decent goalie could have gotten there....
ReplyDeleteCome on Connor and Dave. I just do not want them to leave.
ReplyDeleteJoe, I think the goalie just let them go. I guess it's a perk to be blonde and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteer..that was "girls got any goals" LOL. I'm pretty sure the girls could get girls.
ReplyDeleteBrenchal's goalie didn't even try!
ReplyDeleteI've crossed that aguaduct on a narrowboat. I needed a stiff drink first!
How did the blondes get there so fast??
ReplyDeleteI would love to cross this aqueduct!!!
ReplyDeleteyou would think a singer would have an advantage here since they should have a good ear for sounds...then again, those blondes are pretty much bad at everything.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone -- late here, but glad I'm not missing the whole show! Isn't this stretch sometimes a non-elim?
ReplyDeleteSilk,
ReplyDeleteFrom that distance, if there's any velocity to the corners, the goalie can't get there. Brenchel had some mustard on the ball. It's the blondes that were a little suspicious because they were moving soooo slowly...
But, now I'm delving in a conspiracy theory when I don't believe in them! LOL. I imagine the goalies had some rules they had to follow.
That was pretty good.
ReplyDeleteNow Connor needs to get it right.
What is with Jamal's faces?
ReplyDeleteDave should have done this and not Connor
ReplyDeletejamal is like totally overacting. LOL
ReplyDeleteWell, the last of my kids just called. I missed all of the singing up to now.
ReplyDeleteCan you believe I have my husband watching this. He usually goes to bed early. He telling Connor to not get nasty and to put some oomph behind it. LMAO
ReplyDeleteIs Jamal the one with the knee injury?
ReplyDeletePenny I thought Dave should have done it too. I heard Connor's last try and it was b-a-d!
ReplyDeleteI'm worried about Connor and Dave. They need to pick up their pace.
ReplyDeleteBecky, I'm so glad the last of your kids called. I though my daughter forgot, but she called about a half hour ago.
ReplyDeleteGood, maybe Dave and Connor moved ahead. Good.
My great-grandmother spoke only Welsh. 60 years ago, I understood it. Now it's all Welsh to me...
ReplyDeleteGo CONNOR!!!!
ReplyDeleteI would think the "Wellies" were the much better choice unless you really are a good shot.
ReplyDeleteI would think the "Wellies" were the much better choice unless you really are a good shot.
ReplyDeleteConsidering how many times the blondes got lost, it would be interesting if Jamal and his brother went home because they got lost.
ReplyDeleteHoly Cow~ How did they do that??? LOL
ReplyDeleteGood, they are back in the game.
ReplyDeletewow...rookie mistake
ReplyDeleteMelt down time!
ReplyDeleteCrap. That's terrible. Oh no. Read the clue guys.
ReplyDeleteStop crying Rachel!!!!
Rachel and Branden haven't really be that bad this time around. I hate to see them lose because of this mistake. But, that's why you have to read the clue.
ReplyDeleteJust do it Rachel. GO!!
ReplyDeleteGOOD!!! Woohoo
ReplyDeleteWonderful!!!!! Go Dave and Connor!
ReplyDeleteJackie, before I forget, thank you for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI would have died laughing if they had the wrong boots again...
ReplyDeleteI don't know how they did this. These blondes have gotten lost and helped all the time. Wow.
ReplyDeleteOkay, who's going to be the third team????
Brenchel has not been bad this show. I just hope they are finished putting them on reality shows. I really can't see Rachael on Survivor! Well, that might be funny.
ReplyDeleteI work Wednesday, so won't be here for Survivor. And, I work on the finale. I'm bummed.
ReplyDeleteWow...I feel bad for Leo and Jamal.
ReplyDeleteWell, despite all their problems and faults, I am kind of happy Rachel and Branden made it.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of the Afghanies. That's a hard loss though.
Thank you so much, Jackie. I really appreciate it. See everyone next Sunday.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day all of you!
Thanks for hosting us Jackie.
ReplyDeletePenny, I'm bummed you are working during Survivor too. We'll miss you.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for coming by!
ReplyDeleteNo, you are right, Becky, Rachel does not belong on Survivor. She'd be the first one voted out. LOL
ReplyDeleteRachel will love that.
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is cool!!!!
ReplyDeletehello, just pass by your blog while I just finish watching today's Amazing race. haha. I cannot believe Rachel misunderstood the clue, AGAIN! (remember she interpreted to pump the gas in the wrong cars in old episode?). Of course she was breaking down, huge mistake, but this lucky couple made it through to final 3. (I think Brendon was very understanding, patient, and encouraging to calm Rachel down, and that helped). Anyway, for me, I hope Dave and Conner will win this season. ;)
