The Amazing Race 26: April 10 Blog Party


It's Friday night! I hope you haven't forgotten that it's time for The Amazing Race! While I personally haven't forgotten it, tonight will be a bit hit or miss for me. Y'see ... I have the Cold From Hell that's been going around here on the East Coast. I can't breathe, sleep, think, etc. Tonight's updates will be the major major happenings without much detail because my mind is so fuzzy. I think I should invest in the facial tissue industries!

Plus, several of our regulars here won't be able to make it tonight.

Double whammy.

Here's the blog pool standings presented by the Magnificent Margo:

Mike and Rochelle - Cheryl in NC, Laurie
Aly and Steve - Jackie, SueGee
Matt and Ashley - Delee, Merrilee
Blair and Hayley - Terry in TX, Margo, Chris
Jeffrey and Jackie - Brian, Donna in AL, ORKMommy
Jelani and Jenny - Marlo, Lynn 1, dla
Tyler and Laura - Ed in OH, David, Nickelpeed

PHILIMINATED:
Jeff and Lyda - Jennasmom, Paula Bell, meb
Lebya and CJ - Donna in FL, PDXGranny 
Harley and Jonathan - Becky, Willie J 
Bergen and Kurt - Nana in NW, Rbennie

Teams are headed to Monaco. After a Roadblock with chocolates and flowers, teams are off the Casino Royale in Monte Carlo where they'll gamble to determine their Detour.  

Win by a Nose has them making perfume and cologne.  Don't Slack Off has them ziplining down and walking a rope back up.

Pit Stop Order:
1. Blair and Hayley - Won a trip to South Africa
2. Aly and Steve
3. Mike and Rochelle
4. Matt and Ashley
5. Jelani and Jenn

  5. If I was in the race I think I would leave whatever I didn't need at the pit stop.... like clothes I had worn.

    I like the couple who got on the first flight.

    Monaco is so beautiful. When My husband and I were there, you'd see all these gorgeous cars and yachts. Very beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Get better soon Jackie. sounds like that cold is nasty You can keep it on the east coast if you will please.

  22. I've been to that perfume factory. OMGosh, I am allergic to chemicals. I thought I was going to die with that smell. Some are okay, floral just about kill me. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  23. I am allergic to so many scents. I would be in misery.

    ReplyDelete
  24. For the perfume, they need to neutralze the smell, then go on to the next one. Perfume chemists usually use menthol or others to make it easier to smell the next. LOL.

    ReplyDelete
  25. teh zipliners got the easy one

    ReplyDelete
  26. I hate walking into Kirklands because the store reeks of potpori.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Man, after smelling all of that, I'd be useless. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  28. of course i can say that because i dont have to do it...lol

    ReplyDelete
  29. When I worked at this super store, I worked in Health and Beauty. People would come in and spray perfume after perfume. Not just a little bit, but they'd give themselves baths in it. Was not good at all.

    ReplyDelete
  30. If I had to walk across a line, then I would wet my pants the entire way. I know, TMI.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Is this a non-elim round?

    ReplyDelete
  32. Ewwww. I would also be choking and gagging at the perfume factory. I don't know which perfumes I am allergic too, seems to be something in the cheap ones, but just being around someone wearing it will cause me to sneeze uncontrollably, eyes watering and start swelling up.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Me too, David. I always know what I am getting from hubby on special occasions because my perfume is not cheap.... or even reasonable.

    ReplyDelete
  34. crap...i left for a minute...howd they get to first.....did everyone else get lost

    ReplyDelete
  35. Becky,

    How are you feeling? Your mom and your husband?

    ReplyDelete
  36. Oh, it's a shame that they are eliminated.

    ReplyDelete
  37. awwwwww ..how sweet...sorry to see them go

    ReplyDelete

    Darn, I didn't like who was eliminated. :-(

    ReplyDelete
