The Amazing Race 25: November 21 Blog Party


Good evening! After a week off for an awards show, TAR is back on tonight! The only problem is that I might not be. I need to have my head examined. Oh, yes. I know what you're thinking -- it's long overdue! But, more seriously, I have an appointment for an MRI of my brain to rule out anything more serious than a concussion. I might not be back in time for the start of the show. So, I'm setting this to post automatically. Hopefully, that won't be needed and I'll chime in on my return.

The blog pool's standings from the Marvelous Margo -- The last episode was a non-Philimination leg with Tim and Te Jay arriving last:

Adam & Bethany - chrob61, Kathy in Brooklyn, Kelsey NY, Zoetawny
Brooke & Robbie - Caela, Sharon, Sharon N, Willie J
Kym & Alli - Brenda, meb, Nicklepeed, Rochelle, Terry in TX
Maya & Amy - Ed in OH, Karen in CA, Lynn1, Margo
Misti & Jim - Cheryl in NC, Laurie, ML, OrkMommy
Tim & Te Jay - Babs, Brent McKee, Dusty, Monty924,

Sorry you have been PHILIMINATED
Lisa & Michelle - Becky, Delee, dla, Donna in AL
Dennis & Isabelle - Auntie Leigh, Brian, David, Donna NY, sanra
Michael & Scott - Donna in FL, Glenn, Jackie, Marlo
Keith & Whitney - Jean, Jennasmom, Nana in NW, PDXGranny
Shelly & Nici - Buzzmaam, Merrilee, Rbennie, SueGee

Please make yourself comfy in the comments area and party hearty! If you can throw in an update or two, that would be appreciated!

Okay, I'm here. They're off to Malta. After a balancing glasses/booze act, they will rappel off a cliff in Malta.

Detour - Flag or Shine - no explanation for them. Grab flag at the end of a greasy pole (each get one) over water.

Tim and Te Jay's speed bump is to paint a Maltese cross on a shield.

Shine has them shining each other in armor.

While the others struggle, Adam and Bethany use their Express Pass to skip the detour and head to the Pit Stop.

Pit Stop -
1. Adam and Bethany! Each won $10,000
2. Misti and Jim
3. Kym and Alli
4. Amy and Maya
5. Brooke and Robbie
6. Tim and Te Jay -- Philiminated

  3. Hope you get a clean bill of health soon. Knocks on the head are not fun.

    I feel like it's been a month since TAR was on. My team has a speed bump tonight, I think??

  5. Jackie, praying for good results. I forgot the show last week. Wondered why I couln't find it on line!

    I forgot about Survivor Wednesday. Well I didn't forget the show, I forgot the day and thought it was Tuesday.

    My head is clogged with allergies.

  6. Let's see who does what...

    Taxis are always fun to grab.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Is your team Tim and Te Jay, Monty?

    ReplyDelete
  8. I really like Adam and Bethany.

    The cyclists are my pool picks.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Hi Penny! I saw where you asked about Petals the other night. I don't think she's watching Survivor since Rocker was voted out.

  10. Hello everyone. =)

    I guess you put the rumors to rest that you are a robot Jackie since you survived being in a MRI machine. =)

    Hope all went well and you are on the mend and don't need anything else more serious done.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Yeah, they dropped it. Sorry, don't like the dentists.

    Would hate him doing that fixing my teeth. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  12. Got to root for Kym and Ali since they are my pool pick.

    I want Bethany to do well.

    Oh no. That's horrible. :-(

    ReplyDelete
  13. Yay Kym and Ali...go for it!

    ReplyDelete
  14. That's tough. I couldn't do it.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Why would they need a taxi? They have to do it all over again?

    Drat, the Dentists are done.

    But, yay for Adam and Bethany!!! Cool!

    ReplyDelete
  16. They do have the worst luck with taxis.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Glad to see you are back, Jackie.

    Don't care for the bikers, dentists or wrestlers.

    ReplyDelete
  18. How did the two college guys get a taxi so fast?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Hi Becky...how are things going?

    ReplyDelete
  20. I was so peeved tonight. Someone hit our mail box and busted the THICK post almost in half. Not a happy camper. Very irritated about it. Didn't even stop, just continued to drive on.

    ReplyDelete
  21. The wrestlers completed it Penny

    ReplyDelete
  22. U think the guy from the wrestlers can be funny. The cyclists I'd like better if they weren't so blatantly nasty about the dentists. I don't care for Jim of the dentists, but I kind of like her -- mainly because she said such nice things about Bethany. Bethany and Adam are my favorites -- because of her challenges and how she handles things, plus they get along so well!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Yes, Jackie. I have Tim and Te Jay

    ReplyDelete
  24. That's I think, not U think.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I always dislike it when they make them all wait. It evens them again. So, whomever was first, isn't first anymore. In this case....I'm glad it's not the Dentists, though.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Penny, I will vacuum tonight since I missed last week and last night.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I am so amazed at Bethany. She can do anything. I'm very impressed.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I would so do this. Love rappelling but haven't done it in over twenty years.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Oh, you are such a jealous slug!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Bethney amazes me every week.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I love that...the Terminator. They all really admire her. She's a rock!!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Hahaha, this is going to be great

    ReplyDelete
  33. T&T are messing up when they need to race clean. UGH

    ReplyDelete
  34. Dang! Now everyone is doing Shine

    ReplyDelete
  35. Don't blame Adam and Bethany

    ReplyDelete
  36. I wouldn't be able to do that. No way.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Glad Bethany and Adam skipped it.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Glad they came in first. Wow. A lot of money!!! Good for them.

  54. Jackie - I'm posting late because this is off topic, and I hope you do see it anyway. Back in the early '70s I bonked my head, and had serious problems for months, but they couldn't find anything wrong (pre-MRI days). It wasn't until my GP was checking the glands in my neck when he noticed a strange hard lump under my jaw. There was another hard lump behind the ear on the other side. It turned out that when I'd bonked my head it had been lifted off the atlas vertebra, the atlas vertebra turned, and the skull settled back down angled off the atlas. The doctor said I had suffered an "internal decapitation". He thought it was funny. I didn't.

    So, anyway, when you get the results, it they don't have a definite diagnosis, ask if they did verify the atlas vertebra and the medulla oblongata.
