The Amazing Race 25: December 12 Blog Party


Here we are ... the penultimate show of the season! Next week is the big finale! As the show airs here tonight, I'll do my best to update this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest. As always, the real party is in the comments area. Come join us there!

Here's the latest blog pool standings from the Magnificent Margo -- the same as last week due to the non-Philimination:

Adam & Bethany - chrob61, Kathy in Brooklyn, Kelsey NY, Zoetawny
Brooke & Robbie - Caela, Sharon, Sharon N, Willie J
Maya & Amy - Ed in OH, Karen in CA, Lynn1, Margo
Misti & Jim - Cheryl in NC, Laurie, ML, OrkMommy

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
Tim & Te Jay - Babs, Brent McKee, Dusty, Monty924
Kym & Alli - Brenda, meb, Nicklepeed, Rochelle, Terry in TX

Ready to race?

They're heading to Manilla. The Speed Bump is at the Detour clue. The Detour is This or That. Bethany and Adam get there first. The Speed Bump has Brooke and Robbie helping reload a street vendor's goods. The other two teams took transportation (jeepney's?) in the wrong direction, so they're behind.

The This detour has them scoring 21 points at a basketball hoop against local guards.

Adam and Bethany are in the lead, but seem to have lost their clue. Brooke and Robbie made it to the Detour before the other two teams who finally realized they went the wrong way for an hour.

The other two teams go for That when they arrive (wrestlers did This). That has them pedaling a bike cab with a sidecar.

Gah. The wrestlers stole the lead from the surfers. Roadblock is Go Coconuts, delivering items to shops. Robbie missed some instructions as he headed out. Hopefully he'll screw up and the surfers will find the Roadblock. They know the street.

Now the surfers found their clue, Robbie figured the instructions but screwed up the amount of coconuts, Jim and Adam both missed the locations just as Robbie first did and Maya/Amy just started.

The wrestlers get through the Roadblock first.

Now, the only team left at the Roadblock is the Scientists.

Pit Stop --
1. Brooke and Robbie - Final leg starts right now and they race on, must fly to Los Angeles.
2. Adam and Bethany
3. Misti and Jim
4. Maya and Amy -- they're still in it! For the first time in TAR, four teams are going into the final leg. Phil warns them that one team will be eliminated during the final leg!

  4. They need to fix it. Glad you can post without them, though.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Kind of okay. I rested so that I can do this. I hope you're okay!

    ReplyDelete
  6. Hi Penny. Yes, hope you're feeling better Jackie. The WV thing is still wonky tonight but you don't need to put it in. Odd!!

    ReplyDelete
  7. Hey, Jackie, Penny and Monty. Also to any who show up after me.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Jackie, are you feeling any better? Is Vincent doing the Happy Kitty Dance?

    ReplyDelete
  9. That had to have hurt. Ouch!!

    ReplyDelete
  10. Misti makes the "dentists" more human... to me.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Gah. Misti is one of those people who say whenever when they should say when!

    ReplyDelete
  12. I would love to see Adam and Bethney win.

    ReplyDelete
  13. They're my favorites, Becky. She just makes me smile. Her positive attitude and how they work together is a huge plus on the race.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Hi Jackie, Penny, Monty, & Becky!

    My 1st appearance here on Fridays. I thought I better jump in the TAR pool before the season is over.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I hope Brooke and what's his name do not make it.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Basketball! My kind of challenge!!

    ReplyDelete
  17. I like Adam and Bethany also, mostly because they are thankful for everything.

    Speaking of using the wrong words. When I was in the military, I was a base newspaper editor. The WORST submissions were from Doctors and Lawyers. OMGosh, you couldn't read or understand what they wrote. They just didn't understand, in order for a non-medical or non-legal person to understand, they had to write down to a normal person's level. They never did that. They used wrong phrases and had very, very bad English.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Robbie, isn't that correct?

    ReplyDelete
  19. That was a fast speed bump.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I could not play basketball...I have a height deficiency. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  21. Hi everyone =)

    I am also vertically challenged and would have a hard time with the basketball. =)

    ReplyDelete
  22. UGH... I got kicked offline and that hasn't happened since the days of dial up :((

    ReplyDelete
  23. I do not like the wrestlers. Don't like their attitude.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Did they lose the clue???? Oh no!!!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Hi David and Ed. I think the Dentists are lucky. They've made a lot of mistakes but they keep coming out on top.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Hope you are feeling better Jackie =)

    I can't decide which team I want kicked out more in the last elimination, the wrestlers or the dentists.

    ReplyDelete
  27. And the scientist have the worst luck

    ReplyDelete
  28. I like that there are no "screamers at their partners" this year.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Accident!
    Hope they have insurance :))

    My pool girls no less!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Hey Ed and David. Glad you could join us tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Hi Becky, Yes TAR being on Friday evenings has made it hard to watch the show live.

    ReplyDelete
  32. These PEOPLE??? Never read the clue UGH

    ReplyDelete
  33. Why would you tell dirt poor people you are on a race for a million dollars. Sad.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I hope Adam and Bethany don't get eliminated.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I wouldn't be upset if the wrestlers are gone after tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Made it!! Friday is just not a good day for this show!!!!

    SueGee on the LeftCoast

    ReplyDelete
  37. I'm all in with either the surfers or the scientists.

    Don't care for the dentists or the wrestlers :((

    ReplyDelete
  38. Good, go, go Adam and Bethany.

    ReplyDelete
  39. They wasted so much time! They should have done the searching first!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I hate that the wrestlers are ahead. Dang.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Hi Becky =)

    I am just hanging out waiting for the show to start here. comes on here an hour later.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Dang it, come on people. Go back and look!!!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Why wouldn't you look around for the locations where you pick up what you have to deliver? These racers aren't too bright. Must be the adrenaline!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Well the dentists still have their save, don't they? I'm worried about the scientists.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Wow, ingenious.

    Can he do that?

    ReplyDelete
  46. I think the "Save" is moot now?

    SueGee on the LeftCoast

    ReplyDelete
  47. I'd like to see the scientists make the top 3. Come on girls!!!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Figures!!

    My first night being able to be here and looks like my pool girls be Phil-liminated!!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Yes SueGee, your right. It was mentioned a couple of shows ago that he was taking it home as a memento now as it was not used.

    ReplyDelete
  50. That's what I get for not paying attention, LOL

    ReplyDelete
  51. Did she say she didn't know how to drive a hand cart? She actually did pretty good.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Next Wed will be a very long night.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I hate to see the girls be eliminated.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Again, why would you say that to people who are dirt poor?

    ReplyDelete
  55. Oh no. I hope she's okay. That's not good. Come on Amy, hang in thre.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Looks like the scientists will not make it

    ReplyDelete
  57. Some of these people are idiots. Don't like them.

    ReplyDelete
  58. The cab drivers should get a tip!

    ReplyDelete
  59. It might just be the final four. I hope anyway.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I feel bad for the candy scientists :(((

    ReplyDelete
  61. I read somewhere that the cab drivers have to be vetted and sign something. So everytime they get a new cab they probably have to stabd around waiting for that to get done before they can move on. I am sure that makes the racers anxious to get moving.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Yay my girls are still in it!

    Amy better hydrate!

    ReplyDelete
  63. This is great.

    I do not like these wrestlers or the dentists.

    Got to be the Surfers and the Scientists!!! GO!!!

    ReplyDelete
  64. This first final four! Love it!!

    Thanks Jackie... and now it's time to eat dinner, LOL

    See you all on Wednesday for the BIG FINALE

    ReplyDelete
  65. Thank you so much for hosting us Jackie. Feel better soon. I know it's hard.

    See everyone Wednesday for the Survivor finale and next Friday for the Amazing Race!!!

    ReplyDelete
  66. Good =) I am glad they are still racing.

    Thanks Jackie. =) Continue to get better and do whatever you need to do to accomplish that goal.

    ReplyDelete
  67. So, Jackie, what have you been doing, aside from sleeping, being off of work?

    Just take care of yourself.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Good Night! Hope to see everyone Wednesday!!

    @ Monty....GO BROWNS!!

    ReplyDelete
  69. Pardon my language but DA*MN! At least the two sweet girls are not out.

    The wrestlers are the only team I do no care about.

    The Dentists are a bit more likable.

    Jackie, Thank you for hosting. Tell Vincent that he can have a little nip.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Not much I can do, Penny. I can only be on the computer, read or watch TV for a limited time before headaches and fuzziness. I've been housecleaning, bath taking and napping a lot.
