Ready? Let's GO!
Teams are flying to Long Island, NY. (Or, as the locals call it, Lawn Guyland.) They're heading to Randall's Island, all teams were on the same plane.
Justin quibbled with his cabbie and let the cab go. He and Diana are at the Roadblock first -- a firefighting training exercise. "Who wants to play with fire?" Logan/Chris are on their tails with Joey and Kelsey only a few minutes behind. The other two teams have their cabs waiting. Oops to Justin. Call Uber?
After dong a rescue, they have to put all the capitols of places they visited in order.
Justin is through first. They have to make their way to the site of the final race of the Triple Crown. Justin knows it's Belmont, so do I. The two waiting cabs won't take them. Now Kelsey and Joey are through, then Chris.
Uh-oh. Logan and Chris fight for Kelsey and Joey's cab. Now they're wandering around -- Logan and Chris, that is. They gave up the cab.
Both Justin/Diana and Chris/Logan are taking different buses back to Manhattan to snag cabs.
They will fly to the Hamptons in private helicopters to get the next clue. Joey and Kelsey are in the lead. Chris dumps his fireman pants and boots. Justin/Diana are in last place.
They're taking jetskis to a lobster boat for their next clue. They have to pull up seven lobster cages and put new ones in. Then it's a second memory test -- arranging flags of the countries visited in the proper order.
Joey and Kelsey are in the lead and know their flags order. Logan and Chris are stumped on the flags a bit. There's one extra flag to throw them off. Justin and Diana realize it, Kelsey and Joey figured it out. K/J off to the next clue first, with J/D right behind them. L/C stuck on the flags.
They have to assemble six Adirondack chairs and put them in order.
Joey and Kelsey WIN THE AMAZING RACE! They didn't take second place for a change!
Justin cries some more with his second place finish -- he knows letting that cab go cost them the million.
Logan and Chris are still arguing.
Next season, it's all social media "stars" racing.
No, Vincent and I weren't invited to partake.
Hi to Jackie & Vincent and to all who enter this place!! Can't believe I'm still in the pool!! I have not been cheering for them LOL
ReplyDeleteSueGee on the LeftCoast
Hi Jackie and everyone who shows up. I brought King's Hawaiian ham and cheese sliders hot from the oven and the bar is fully stocked!!
ReplyDeleteGOGREENTEAM
Hey SueGee
ReplyDeleteI brought some make it yourself french dip sandwiches on sourdough rolls!! Hope someone shows up with something to drink!
ReplyDeleteHey Monte!!
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie! Thank you for hosting us. Can't believe it's the finale. All of these shows have been going TOOOOO fast!
ReplyDeleteI bring chocolate milk shakes and hot red wine.
GO GREEN. Problem is nothing lasts that long. I'm just hoping Logan and Chris do not win.
Hi Penny
ReplyDeleteHi Monty, SueGee, Nickel, & Jackie! Long Island here we come!
ReplyDeleteThe bar's fully stocked :)))
ReplyDeleteWhat's the rumor out there? Who do they say wins? LOL
ReplyDeleteHi SueGee and Monty!
Whohoo, my kind of drink Ed!!
ReplyDeleteSome shows this season seem to be very rushed at the end...like The Voice, And Survivor has to go from 6 down to 3 real quick next week..
ReplyDeleteHey, Penny. I haven't visited the spoilers this season. Trying to keep it a surprise, LOL
ReplyDeleteHey Jackie, Sue, Ed, Penny and Monty. Mouse on the house! Let's go down annoying paparazzi!
ReplyDeleteHi, all! I haven't looked at the spoilers for this season, either.
ReplyDeleteJustin needs to stay humble. He has a hard time doing that.
ReplyDeleteI think this might be the absolute strongest (not luckiest) three teams in the finale in years.
ReplyDeleteOOps, I also have Ferrer Roche chocolates, but I might not share them....I LOVE them! LOL
ReplyDeleteHey Mouse. Grab a sandwich everyone and a drink from the bar. Cheers to the Final Three!! Well, not Logan and Chris ;))
ReplyDeleteThis is as much of a surprise as I can handle. Drives my husband crazy so if he wants to know he has to flat out ask me.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Jackie. I do not thing Logan and Chris are that strong, but definitely the other two. Very competetive.
ReplyDeleteMonty I meant Long Island New York for the finale (my bad!). But truth be told every time I vacation Long Island Iced Tea is my drink of choice!
ReplyDeleteTrue that, Penny. My brother loves his cockiness, but that's because that was my brother in high school when he played football and baseball. Same kind of personality :))
ReplyDeleteWell, it will be a nice surprise for all of us. GO GREEN
ReplyDeleteI can't believe no one's hit Chris yet.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Ed. I caught it after I typed it, but same here. I only drink them on rare occasions... unlike when I was younger and could drink them all the time, lol
ReplyDeleteJustin, Justin....don't be rude.
ReplyDeleteSo who will it be tonight for the win?
ReplyDeleteMonty & Nickelpeed (Green)
or
David (Reporters)
or
SueGee (Paparazzi)
Good Luck to you all!
I brought a variety chips and dips. I am late because Google and I had to play the "password" game again.
ReplyDeleteI love them all bunched together this late in the game
ReplyDeleteMonty, I'd like to say it's a NYC attitude, but not all are like that. Jocks can be like that, though. You have to be confident, but you don't have to be nasty.
ReplyDeleteI don't think he knows he's nasty
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't want to punch him.like I do Chris
ReplyDeleteCool task. I ran squad for eleven years and have nothing but respect for my brothers and sisters on the fire department.
ReplyDeleteHey Becky. The chips and dip go great with the sandwiches.
ReplyDeleteHoping it's GREEN TEAM Ed.
Yikes. Wonder shia cab left. Hope it wasn't Joeys
ReplyDeleteOh no... the curse of the taxi
ReplyDeleteTaxi's always seem to be a problem. Even in New York!!
ReplyDelete:)
ReplyDeleteI have a funny story to tell about jocks. I can't remember if I told it. If I did, sorry to repeat.
ReplyDeleteI work at an entertainment center attached to a University. The universities women's and men's basketball team plays there. I was working a women's basketball game and I had the entire baseball team come in.
The first guy walks up and every time I went to grab his ticket to scan it, he would turn his hand over. He kept on doing this. The reason? He had just received his baseball league championship ring. I started laughing. I finally told him it was a beautiful ring. It was, too. Huge. Nice and shining diamonds. I just thought it was funny. He wouldn't give me the ticket until I recognized it. LOL
Wow, they have balls trying to take the cab. I sure hope Justin and Diana get a cab.
ReplyDeleteHere goes Logan and Chris again. Geesh.
ReplyDeleteI have been to NYC several times and less than four times at most I encountered the NYC attitude. One woman was particularly nasty because I asked the cashier where to find something. What was funny was that she had to get something else and thought I should let her back in line. I gave her my Southern Biotch attitude and pointed to the end on the line. That is the only one that really stuck in my mind. I told my friend well, finally I had encountered the NYC Attitude. She laughed and told me, well you gave it right back.
ReplyDeleteAnother one of my brothers graduated from UD (in the 70's) in Hara Arena Penny. That's a good story about the ball player. He was proud of his ring. :))
ReplyDeleteI hope, I hope, I hope....this bodes well for Kelsey and Joey!!
ReplyDeleteHave those two argued on every episode??!!
ReplyDeleteWill they get a penalty for not taking a taxi?
ReplyDeleteOh, MAN
ReplyDeleteThis does not look good for Green, Monty.
ReplyDeleteI think so Ed. I missed a couple episodes but they've argued on all the ones I've seen.
ReplyDeleteOMGOSH, Just SHUT UP!!!!
ReplyDeleteI know, Penny :((
ReplyDeleteI get tired of all the ugly talk from him.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty. I've never been to NYC or the Hamptons.
ReplyDeleteI have to say the Green Team does not lack in confidence!
ReplyDeleteHi Becky. You mean Chris? or Justin?
ReplyDeleteNot, good, not good for Green. They have to really move their butts. Truthfully, I just do not want Chris and Logan to win.
ReplyDeleteChris.
ReplyDeleteMemory challenge is usually a 'stumper'
ReplyDeleteI hope Green has a good memory. Or I should say, I hope Chris and Logan does not have a good memory.
ReplyDeleteChris, Justin did not steal your cab. What idiots. I hope they feel bad after watching this.
This is where the men will probably take out their shoulders.
ReplyDeletePenny, I don't want Chris and Logan to win either.
ReplyDeleteSame here
ReplyDeleteI knew Chris and Logan would think they stole their cab
This is where they'll slow down because they forget. But, hopefully, the two good teams will remember.
ReplyDeleteOkay, Green catch up!!! Justin needs to quit being that confident. Just stop.
ReplyDeleteJoey and Kelsey are smart.
ReplyDeleteThis is what gets me....I think every TAR, they have to do the flags. They should know that.
ReplyDeleteThis is a nail biter
ReplyDeleteLooks like it's down to two!
ReplyDeleteYep, but right now, Joey and Kelsey are ahead and I think they win. I won't be unhappy.
ReplyDeleteYay, Adirondack chairs. My neck of the woods where I was born!
My Dad built two of them that sat on my parents' porch my entire life. My baby brother has them now on his deck.
ReplyDeleteThey will remember their flags right after they learn to swim and drive a stick
ReplyDeleteTrue, SueGee.
ReplyDeleteJustin....@@
ReplyDeleteDiana's really coming through for Green tonight
ReplyDeleteWow, Joey and Kelsey are really ahead.
ReplyDeleteShut up, Justin. Don't do it. Maybe it'll be just desserts if Joey and Diana win. We'll see. They were doing fine until Justin and Diana came. It rattle them.
Have they ever had this many memory tests before?
ReplyDeleteDiana is a strong player. If she hadn't been there, Justin would probably be buried at a beach somewhere! LOL
ReplyDeleteI don't remember, Becky. The ones I did not like were the number ones. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy with either of the teams doing the chairs winning. I was dreading a Logan/Chris win (thanks to Chris more than Logan).
ReplyDeleteSame here, Jackie. I never like the bickering teams
ReplyDeleteGreen can't afford any mistakes
ReplyDeleteWell, at least it wasn't Chris and Logan.
ReplyDeleteHello everyone. =)
ReplyDeleteI am late for the blog but on time to watch the show here. Comes on in a few minutes.
Justin should not had said anything. That's what he gets for his cockiness. Congrats to Joey and Kelsey!!! They were first where it mattered.
ReplyDeleteThat damn cab did it. UGH :))
ReplyDeleteI agree, Monty. UGH
ReplyDeleteI hope Justin is decent and nice about it, though.
Maybe David shouldn't know the ending
ReplyDeleteBut David is the pool winner LOL
ReplyDeleteAww, Justin. If there's another All-Stars they're sure to be on it. Great race GREEN TEAM
ReplyDeleteAmen monty
ReplyDeleteWas hoping they did it. The Texas boys looked happy they didn't win. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteStill arguing.
Put on your Big Boy panties and suck it up, Justin. You have multiple trips. Be glad you are still standing. I would have smothered him.
ReplyDeleteWoooooot, I won the pool, =) lol
ReplyDeleteFirst for everything.
They definitely do have a lot ot work on.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for hosting us, Jackie. It is so greatly appreciated.
See you all on Wednesday night for the SURVIVOR FINALE!!!! Can't wait!!!!!

ReplyDeleteCongrats David!! woohoo Bragging Rights
ReplyDeleteCongrats David!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, David!! Your team won when it really counted!!! I'm sad my green team didn't win, but of the other two, I'm glad Joey and Kelsey won!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jackie!! Great season to watch along with all the fine folks here. See you all on Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteMonty & Nickel your team ran a good race......just missed!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if anyone watches this later at home, and says, "Wow! I didn't realize I was such a nag/ such an ass/ sounded so shrill/ whatever."
ReplyDeleteThanks for a fun season here on the blog! And, congratulations go to David, the true winner of The Amazing Race (Blog Pool).
ReplyDeleteWhen's the nest TAR, March, April, or May? LOL
