The Amazing Race: May 11, 2017 Episode Blog Party


I'll be live bloggig the show's events as they air here on the East Coast. The real party is in the comments area -- come join in on the fun!

Lifeguard Sharon C has made the random match-ups for the blog pool:

London/Logan - Delee, Sharon N
Brooke/Scott - Chrob61, Becky
Tara/Joey - SueGee, Willie J, Monty924
Becca/Floyd - Janice, Brian
Liz/Michael - Judi Sweeney, Dolores in Hollywood, Ed in Ohio
Matt/Redmond - MerriLee, Jackie

PHILIMINATED:
Jessica/Francesca - Brenda, David, Sharon C
Seth/Olive - ML, Cheryl in NC
Shamir/Sara - Indiana Jane, Jenna's Mom
Vanck/Ashton - Nickelpeed, Donna in FL

Last week was a non-Philimination leg so Michael and Liz (last place) will encounter a Speed Bump tonight.

Are we ready? Yes, we are! 

Teams are headed to Greece. Both the Redmond/Matt and Becca/Floyd teams remark about how well they're getting along. Meanwhile, there's Brooke and Scott -- no drama ... ha! All the teams are on the same plane, then will be on a sixteen hour ferry. There will be a Double U-Turn ahead.

Brooke and Scott U-Turn Michael and Liz. Joey and Tara U-Turned Becca/Floyd to give Mike and Liz a chance ... they say. Mike and Liz are already lost. Sigh. So are Becca and Floyd.

Detour - For the Bride or For the Groom --  Greek customary treatment for the bride racing up a gazillion steps or delivery of milk for cheese on a donkey for the groom.

They head next to a stadium where they must complete one "Lap of Honor" to get their next clue. Tara and Joey are in the lead. 

Mike and Liz are really ticked off that Scott and Brooke U-Turned them after Michael had helped Brooke and she had promised not to do so. Becca and Floyd name their donkey Speedy McSpeederson. Mike and Liz are actually ahead of Becca and Floyd right now, but haven't done the Speed Bump.

Roadbock - Must master traditional choreography. 

Uh-oh. Mike and Liz didn't do the second part of the Detour right and have to go back.

I know I'm being partial, but I certainly hope Becca and Floyd put it in gear and beat them. I enjoy watching them!  

Tara and Joey are the first heading to the Pit Stop at the Acropolis.  

Pit Stop:
1. Tara and Joey - won $7,500 each
2. Matt and Redmond 
3. Brooke and Scott 

Mike and Liz have to wrap meat in intestines before they can run the lap. Of course, Mike is a butcher, so that will help them. 

4. London and Logan

Becca and Floyd are starting the Roadblock before Mike and Liz. Whoa! They finish with Mike and Liz on their tails.

5. Becca and Floyd
6. Michael and Liz -- Philiminated 

Next week is two hours.

  11. Three more episodes for this show and only two for Survivor left

    ReplyDelete
  12. Yes... I really like Tara and Joey but I really like Becca and Floyd. I have a feeling they would Uturn our team in a heartbeat though.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Well, we survived the U-turn

    ReplyDelete
  14. And a team can only u-turn another team once? Both ends the turners and the turnees?

    ReplyDelete
  15. I like Becca and Floyd too

    ReplyDelete
  16. Yes, David ... I get the treatment tomorrow. I'm nervous. But it's nothing like the knee replacements were!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Scott and Brooke need a steep fall (off their high horses)

    ReplyDelete
  18. Sue - I didn't realize no one was talking to you last night. I get so involved in updating the blog entry that I visit comments during commercials.

    ReplyDelete
  19. It was just one of those nights Jackie... nothing you could have done

    ReplyDelete
  20. Don't know WTH just happened to my computer, but I'm finally back. ugh

    ReplyDelete
  21. SueGee, I almost sent you a message to tell you that I didn't skip out on the party. Took me twenty minutes to get my blogger to come back up. Sometimes I hate technology, LOL

    ReplyDelete
  22. I thought you were being awfully quiet

    ReplyDelete
  23. Are David & Silk still here??

    ReplyDelete
  24. Yes, we're in first place!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I rarely form an active dislike for contestants on TAR, but I confess I smiled when Redbeard found out he can't read a clue any better than his partner can read a map. And the clue was in plain English. Back up the stairs, heh heh.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Oh, hi David and Silk. I was in the middle of typing that earlier went everything went haywire.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Mike doesn't seem all that bright LOL

    ReplyDelete
  28. Nice!! I'd rather have the $$$ than a trip.

    ReplyDelete
  29. These trips or 2 and they are not partners were ill conceived

    ReplyDelete
  30. I bet Becca and Floyd would have fun on a trip together. Matt and Redmond, too. (Scott and Brooke, not so much.)

    ReplyDelete
  31. I hope there is at least one more u-turn for Brooke & Scott to get

    ReplyDelete
  32. It seems to me pre-season, I saw something about London and Logan becoming a couple after the race. But I had no clue who they were then.

    ReplyDelete
  33. the fight like siblings for certain

    ReplyDelete
  34. Brooke and Scott need to be on the hit list for the other teams next!

    Thank you for coming by tonight!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Best of luck to you tomorrow Jackie!!

    ReplyDelete
  36. thank you Jackie. =)

    Everyone have a great week. Especially you Jackie. Hope all goes great.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Thank you Jackie and everyone for the company tonight. Got to back to packing for the mountains. May not see you all on Wednesday. Depends on what time we get through with dinner. Have a good weekend.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Good luck tomorrow, Jackie.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Even though Mike and Liz were my team, I really like Floyd and Becca! Glad they made it in! Scott and Brooke are definitely on my hit list! They helped whining Brooke! Thanks Jackie!

  40. I am going to miss next Thursday, also. I have to work.

    One of the reasons it's not so good to U-turn someone is it eventually comes back to bite you in the butt. I feel sorry for Liz and Michael, but they did u-turn another team, who was eliminated. I am really hoping to see Brook and Scott eliminated. Brook is a cry baby all the time; and Michael did do a task for her. I think that is horrible to U-turn him after what he did.

    Since I'm a free agent, I absolutely love Becca and Floyd and Redmond and Matt. Brook and Scott, not so much.

    Jackie, I hope your procedure goes well for you tomorrow. Sending prayers.

    I wish I weren't missing a 2 hour episode next week. :'/
