Hi, everybody! As the show airs here tonight, I'll be updating this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments area. Come join in on the fun!
Last week the leg didn't really end and all teams are still in it. I wonder how the Texans and Justin/Diana will get along now since the teams promised not to and didn't use the U-Turn. Then there's that pesky leftover Express Pass that Texas has to give to another team (after they screwed up and wasted the use of their own pass). Will they be smart enough to pass it on to the worst team? Who is the worst team right now? Hmm.

Ready? Let's GO!
Okay, the Texans decided to give the Express Pass to Denise and James Earl because they've worked with them before and they also don't consider them a threat for the win.
The other teams are going through the Pit Stop with the continuation. Hmm ... Denise and James Earl are running in third. Were they the right choice?
Roadblock: Who wants to gorge themselves? It's a revisit of the first challenge ever on the show ... a zip line over the Zambizi (sp?) River gorge.
Detour: Crocs or Canoes -- Feed a crocodile *while in a protective cage. Or, canoe down the (dangerous) river and retrieve the clue from a vulture's nest.
Cindy and Rick are team five at the first pit stop. Logan and Chris are six and didn't want to give all the money to the orphans. Huh.Jazmine and Danielle number seven. Krista and Tiffany are eight and U-Turned the Green Team (which is already way ahead of them, D'oh!)
Cindy/Rick and Logan/Chris both went the wrong way (one team following the other) to the Roadblock and now the other remaining teams are ahead of them.
The clue after the Roadblock heads them to the "Lion Encounter." Justin and Diana remain first, the Texans second.
At the crocodiles, Denise and James Earl use their Express Pass.
In Lion Encounter, they must walk with lions to find their next clue. Justin and Diana go first, followed by James Earl and Denise. Logan and Chris are behind everyone. Logan fusses and they decide to go to the Canoe Detour. Now they decide to stay at the crocodiles.
The Pit Stop is the Masuwe Wild Game Reserve and they must deliver fruit to it -- in baskets on their heads!
Pit Stop:
1. Denise and James Earl -- win a trip to Slovakia
2. Justin and Diana
Jazmine and Danielle screw up and go to the pit stop instead of the Lion Encounter. They head back.
3. Tanner and Josh
4. Kelsey and Joey
Then Jazmine and Danielle didn't read the clue and now have to do it over again with the lions.
5. Tiffany and Krista
6. Logan and Chris
7. Cindy and Rick
8. Jazmine and Danielle -- Philiminated
Hi Jackie and all who follow. Ready to RACE
ReplyDeleteMouse in house! I remembered.
ReplyDeleteHey Mouse
ReplyDeleteHey. Almost didn't see you in this big crowd.
ReplyDeleteLOL
ReplyDeleteOk Blogger is going to play games with me...
ReplyDeleteOne more time!! Hi to Jackie, Vincent, Monty & Mouse (and all who came after I started typing!!) Let the racing begin!!
SueGee on the LeftCoast
Happy for team Alabama and Momma but she still gets on my nerves. She also cracks me up, so it's a wash.
ReplyDeleteHey there Mouse and Monty (and whoever might arrive)!
ReplyDeleteHey there, SueGee
ReplyDeleteAnd SueGee!
ReplyDeleteI remembered too but I may need to go heat up something, I'm hungry tonight!!
ReplyDeleteHey, Jackie, Monty, Mouse and Sue G
ReplyDeleteSueGee, I grilled hamburges tonight and there's plenty of extras :)))
ReplyDeleteHi Becky!!
ReplyDeleteHi Becky, grab a burger and a brew :))
ReplyDeleteI would wet my pants! At least!
ReplyDeleteThat would scare the crap out of me, but I'd probably do it
ReplyDeleteI made a pot of ham & beans and some corn bread. The smell is making me drool
ReplyDeleteHi Monty, Mouse, Sue Gee, Becky & Jackie
ReplyDeleteBurger & a Brew.......sounds great homie!
They would have to push me off!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so cool!
ReplyDeleteHey, Ed.
ReplyDeleteIf they can get out alive, LOL
ReplyDeleteHomie... how ya doing?
ReplyDeleteSueGee, that sounds awesome. I'm making beans and cornbread on Sunday for the games. YUMMY
ReplyDeleteHey Monty! Resting up from a a day of yard work & squeezed in 18 holes ;) Weather was really nice today!
ReplyDeleteKinda' tired now
What??
ReplyDeleteThat's cool, Ed. Weather's good here too, but we'll probably get the rain from Patricia next week :((
ReplyDeleteI want to touch the elephant?
ReplyDeleteThis is great... Team Green still beating the Texans
ReplyDeleteMonumental mistake
ReplyDeleteI have actually ridden on an elephant!
ReplyDeleteWow. When? Where?
DeleteThey shudda u turned the cheerleaders
ReplyDeleteThe Cheerleaders u-turned the green team. If they're already passed it, do the still get u-turned? Help me Jackie or someone who knows. I can't rememember.
ReplyDeleteI almost ran off the road once when I saw an elephant walking alongside said road. Right here in New Jersey! It had walked out of its fence at a small local zoo. I was new here and had no clue a zoo even existed!
ReplyDeleteMonty - You can only successfully U-Turn people behind you.

ReplyDeleteMany years ago when Marine World was called Marine World Africa USA and you could pay to ride LOL It was fun but short as I recall.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jackie. That's what I thought, but wasn't 100% sure :))
ReplyDeleteI meant the reporters should have u turned the cheerleaders. Once you're passed through it, it doesn't matter.
ReplyDeleteThat would scare me Jackie!! Bad enough at the circus when they were running around the arena at full speed and one took off like it was going for the exit right where we were sitting!
ReplyDeleteThat bungee jump looks awful scary! Uncontrolled.
ReplyDelete1-0 KC if anyone is interested
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know SueGee. I was just going back to my comment from before... the "what??"
ReplyDeleteHad to break out the ice cream sandwiches. I have vanilla and neapolitan. Dig in!
I want to feed crocodiles and walk with lions!
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone else want to slap.both reporters?
ReplyDeleteMe too, Jackie
ReplyDeleteI scream for Ice Cream!!
ReplyDeleteSue -- I was more in shock than anything. I mean, I've seen cows and hogs walking along the road, deer, raccoons ... but you don't expect an elephant all by itself just walking on the shoulder of the road!
ReplyDeleteNow KC up 2-0....2 solo homers ......back to TAR!
ReplyDeletePoor price
ReplyDeleteI don't think I will ever make it to Africa, so maybe I should plan on going to one of those safari parks here that you drive through. That would be pretty neat.
ReplyDeleteJackie, I was driving in the snow down a KY state highway (two lane) years ago on a home care visit and everything that day had gone wrong and I was running late. Came over a rise and had to slam on my breaks with an 18 wheeler on my bumper. A cow standing right in the middle of the road.
ReplyDelete*brakes ... I can't spell tonight
ReplyDeleteNice kitty...kitty!!!!
ReplyDeleteI was going to say I brought Pecan Pie Ice Cream. Guess Jackie can keep it in her freezer until next week.
ReplyDeleteJackie, what did you think when you saw the elephant?
Good for Denise and James Earl
ReplyDeleteWrong time to use Express Pass again? Everyone knows how fast things change and if you aren't near the back of the pack you should save it!
ReplyDeleteBut winning the trip may be worth it????
ReplyDeleteHow often teams just don't read the clues!
ReplyDeleteThey had to use it today
ReplyDeleteREAD THE CLUES ALL THE WAY THROUGH!!! That and learn to drive a stick shift. Did I leave out any other subjects ever competitor should learn?
ReplyDeleteTell 'em Becky!
ReplyDeleteI know, Ed and Becky. You would think that people who are fans of the show would know those things, but we see it every season.
ReplyDeleteBecky - After staring at it and veering into the opposite lane (thankfully no one coming, it was early morning), I pulled over and stared at it. I had no camera nor cell phone (20 years ago). A man came along on foot and led it away. Then I saw a sign -- Scotch Plains Zoo. After that encounter, I slowed down and looked at the animals every time I drove by. The zoo closed down years ago.
ReplyDeleteEven when we had an all-star season some still could not drive a stick!!
ReplyDeleteSueGee -- They were told they had to use the Express Pass during this leg, if memory serves.
ReplyDeleteI'm really surprised my Cheerleaders are still in it!
ReplyDeleteI will watch for that Jackie. Thanks for the explanation. (One benefit of chatting now and watching later when it is on here)
ReplyDeleteSee yall wednesday. Thanks jackie
ReplyDeleteGood show, hard tasks I think. Jackie thank you for hosting. Enjoy the Pecan Pie Ice Cream. I will bring some more next week.
ReplyDeleteGood Night! Thanks for all the good 'grub' & treats!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie!
& to my homie......O-H-I-O..........Go Bucks!!!
Ed, they did okay tonight. Well, it's a night folks. Thanks Jackie for the cool place to hang out on Friday night and will see all of you fine folks on Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteAnd GO BUCKS :)))
ReplyDeleteNighty Night!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by!
ReplyDeleteHi everyone. =)
ReplyDeleteI did not forget but I was grocery shopping since I can not get PeaPod to deliver to me for some reason. I mean it is only a 4500 mile round trip for them, c'mon. =)
I was home in time to watch TAR but it was just starting so missed you all.
Thanks Jackie
Everyone have a great weekend.
