Are we ready? Yep! Let's get this show ON!
Ohh ... teams are going to Tangier, Morocco. The have to find a clue in the "Sea of Chaos" -- a rather crowded and unorganized seaport. Then they have to meticulously stack fish in a crate thingee. Both Cody and Evan speak some Arabic, a rarity in cast members these days!
The fish smell is really affecting NBA, as well as the others. More the NBA guys, though. Heehee, Jess is being distracted by the stray cats hanging out at the fish stacking! Unfortunately, the TeamExtreme gals are totally lost. I think they might be the only team not yet making it there.
Jess and Cody make it out of the fish first. Other teams finishing up. The Ski Gals finally arrive at the fish. Teams will head out and pick up the TAR traditional Roaming Gnome. Whoa! The gals beat out Alex and Conor, now they're in last.
Roadblock -- Who's ready to rock the Casbah? -- The Roaming Gnome will get to ride a zipline! Once the gnome does the zipline then the chosen team member must go find it. Interesting and different. They don't just have to do it one time -- once they find the gnome, they have to go to a second zipline. The leading teams are working together. They did well the first time. Not so good the second time. Jess and one of the Indy Car drivers seem to be getting very frustrated. The local cats still like Jess.
CEDRIC of the NBA is in the lead! How cool is that? He loses that, though. Sigh.
Now the Yalies are in the lead, Detour. Pick up foodstuffs and deliver them. Or belly-dancing. Oh my.
Oh-uh. Brittany forgot her gnome at the Roadblock. Jess knows that she's one of the last two teams and just can't call her back to retrieve it without putting her own race in peril. I don't really blame her.
Yay! My blog pool Yalies are now in the lead, first out of the belly-dancing! No, they didn't have to really belly-dance so much themselves. It was more like dancing around reading clues. Conor and Alex are on their tails.
Pit Stop:
1. Evan and Henry! Won a trip to Switzerland.
2. Alex and Conor
3. Kristi and Jen
4. Trevor and Chris
5. Cody and Jessica
Joey Chestnut is totally screwing up finding the clues at belly-dancing.
6. Joey and Tim
7. Eric and Daniel
8. Lucas and Brittany
9. Cedric and Shawn ... and it's a non-Philimination leg! YAY!
Next week is a two-hour episode and another head-to-head challenge.

HI folks!
Heeelllloooo Jackie and Vincent!! Thank you both for allowing us to come here to congregate! Love this place! It is so appreciated.
~*~*~* SPLASH ~*~*~*~
Hey Ms Jackie, Vincent and everyone!
Hope you are warm and relatively pain-free tonight, Jackie.
YAY TEAM JODY !!
I brought a big box of Taco Bell tacos, LOL. I had a coupon...
Hi Joe!!!
{{{Joe}}} Miss your voice. xoxo
Hey Penny
Is anyone (beside me) watching Victor & Natalie on The Challenge: Vendettas? They both won their challenges yesterday.
I wouldn't care if an all girl team won. Still rooting for my pool pick, Team NBA. And, of course I'm hoping Jody do well.
Hi all!!
Pinot at the bar! Right next to the artichoke/spinach dip and chips.
Enjoy!
Hello everyone. I finally managed to make it in time for the pool party. Jackie, hope you're feeling better today.
I'm so glad that everyone can now see how cool Jess/Cody are/were. BB must've edited them badly; they are really normal, sweet kids.
Hi Petals!!! What channel is The Challenge on?
MONTY!!!! Hi!!!
I just joined the TAR party (for Jody!)
How about that National Championship game?
Hi Monty!
~~~~~SPLASH~~~~~ Howdy to our hostess & her shoulder warmer!! Hope your back is feeling ok tonight!
I came by earlier and turned up the heat in the pool. I hope it is hot enough for everyone.
SueGee on the Left(64 degree)Coast
All of these teams are likable people. I'm a bit dismayed at Joey Chestnut's abilities although not really surprised. He's one of the few I kind of know. I think the NBA players age and size might put them at a bit of a disadvantage. I really like the Yale kids even though they did so poorly in the head-to-head. But they hung in there!
Hi Jackie, Joe, Petals and Penny, Suegee. My computer keeps freezing up!
All these exotic places and they don't get to enjoy them!
on MTV, Tuesdays at 9 EST/8 CST. It is a lot of young kids from MTV shows, but the show itself is like a blend of Survivor & Big Brother: these kids are all in a remote, exotic locale, living in the same house AND competing in mental & physical challenges, campaigning & eliminating each other.
I have a roast chicken coming out of the oven, so I will be baaaacccckkk
I'm impressed with the teams who can speak any bit of Arabic!!
All I can think about is Paul et al calling Cody a liar.
GO CODY, speaking Arabic?? ♥♥♥♥
I agree, Jackie, I kind of like all of these teams.
Jody, right Joe? Yeah, I know!!!
HI SueGee and Glenn!
Hi Glenn! HEY SQUUEEEEEGGGG
Hi Everybody!
Hey Homie missed you last week!
Tangier Morocco looks like an interesting place to viist
Hi all!!
Look at the confetti-colored kitten!! OMG!!!!!
Hi Teeb!
Petals, you know I can't stand Alabama... but that was one hell of a game. They deserved it that night. :))) xoxo
Hi Everybody!
Hey Homie missed you last week!
Tangier Morocco looks like an interesting place
Hi TBC! I feel sorry for the Womens team that couldn't communicate with the driver. I was surprised that Cody and the Yale girl knew some Arabic!
I know some curse words in Arabic and a few greetings. Back when I was in college, I had a boyfriend originally from Syria. He taught me them. I also recall his terror tales about growing up there.
Hi Penny. I think we're finally going to get a break in the weather here in Ohio. Whewwwww
Lots of cats in the streets of Tangiers...
YAY JODY!
Hey Homie!!
How the hell did they pass a team on that challenge?
Keep it goin' JODY!
Jackie, is Vincent envious of the fish market kitties? LOL
Oh, they missed it...
hi ED!!! RTR
Hi tbc!! Hi Ed!
Hi Petals! Yep Tide rolled............AGAIN!!
Yes, Monty. I've been freezing!!!
This would be hard to follow all of those rooftops
Hi Penny! Still cold here in NE OHIO. Single digits this AM, currently 14
this challenge, the view of that city, makes me queasy. To think of being there, living there? Will keep me up at night. My idea of a nightmare.
Penny, my car hasn't made it off this hill since last Friday. TG we also have a 4WD or I'd still be a shut in, LOL
Ed, it's still about 11 degrees here, but we'll get a break in a couple of days. I'm so tired of cold.
Its hard for them to find the Gnome1 The NBA guys having a hard time!.We are under a winter weather advisory!
We're at a balmy 19° in KCMO, but that's a heat wave compared to the -10° we had earlier in the week. LOL
Will be in mid-50s this wknd, so "welcome to Missouri"
Yeah, Monty, my husbands been using the "good" car. He hasn't started the HHR since last week. He has to use it Friday. I've been telling him days to start it to be sure. As of tonight he hadn't started it, so I went out. LOL. TG it started.
Monty - have you much snow? Or ice?
We have ZERO snow, just cold.
Yeah, thank goodness for living in the southern part of the state. It's supposed to be 46* here tomorrow and Friday in the 50's. Can't wait :))))
At my original home, in the Adirondacks in UpState NY, has been have horrible ice flows. Just down the road where I spent most of my life is blocked. People can't get out of the back woods to get to town. They've been having to go around a really long way. Feel sorry for them.
The other day we had rain, then sleet, followed by ice..... then hit with snow on top of it
I don't like them all bunched up like this. A few of them, yes. All of them, not so much.
Petals, I've been snowed in since Friday night. We got the driveway shoveled and salted and could get the Tahoe down and back up, but we got hammered on Sunday night through yesterday. Went slip sliding down the hill even in 4Lo this morning just to get to work. ugh
Come on NBA!!! You've got to find this!! They are in first place??? How? LOL
I just love these narrow stairways. It's the same in Amsterdam. Very narrow. Same for the streets. LOL
I would FAIL so terribly at TAR. I can't even do a Scavenger Hunt at our office without huffing & puffing!
where is Jess? I've lost her...?
Where's Jody?
Agree, Petals. I'd never make it on the Race. I've been pleasantly surprised by Jess and Cody so far on the race. Definitely different outside of the insane asylum known as the BB house.
oh noooooooo
LOL hidden words on the belly dancers
Speaking of belly dancing. When we were stationed in Florida, I hired a belly dancer to go to my husband's work and belly dance for his 25th birthday. LOL. Had to get permission from his boss, since he was military. LOL. The other guys loved it, too. LOL
Yeeps. Moral conundrum.
My team left their gnome at the phone!
WOW, Penny!!! You should have done it yourself, LOL
They are so clueless, aren't they?
Ouch
I thought Jessica left it at the phone booth?
She shouldn't be expected to carry the gnome for an opposing team, right? Do teams do that on this show? I really dont know
Heck no, Petals. I was very thing back then, but only my husband would see me dance, not a bunch of flightline guys. LOL
It wouldn't matter if Jessica had told her or not, she still would have had to gone back. For a million dollars, I'd have to think whether or not I'd bring it to them, especially if I'm almost the last one.
The city here kept me awake all Monday night using heavy equipment to bash up ice on my street where it flowed down during rain then froze. Some of the chunks were a good six inches thick! And I don't live in a river!
Speaking of BB...Julie/CBS released pics of the remodeled BB house for the Celebrity edition. No "celebs" have been confirmed, but I've heard many leaks about Brandi Glanville, Spencer Pratt and the last winner of Celeb BB UK (don't know who that is).
If that these rumors are real, then calling this a "celebrity" edition is a ssstttreeetch.
Jackie are we going to do a pool for celeb. Big Brother?
oh man, Jackie! Glad there were no water main breaks.
Ed, just saw your 8:31 comment. That was us on Friday. Rain turned to ice, turned to snow and it's been downhill since then, lol. Too much snow Monday through yesterday to keep up with so my car doesn't move, LOL. I thought I was being so smart trading the FWD in on a new car with AWD in May, but it really doesn't work on this hill on top of a hill, LOL.
Petals -- If she were a lead team, I think Jess would have gone after Brittany about the gnome. But when you're near last place, it's not a good idea. Jess would risk her own game.
They appear to be trying to make Jessica into a villian.
I wonder if there's going to be some obscure rule invoked by Phil to give Jody a penalty.
I wouldn't have been able to do this when I was healthy. Wow talk about exhausting. Hope the NBA guys can catch up again.
That Spanish speaking chick quickly caught up!
I agree, Jackie. Too risky. It could make them last. Is it a non-elimination leg?
I am not a Jessica fan, but she did what was right for her team. You can't risk it when you are in the back.
The Drop it off challenge looks hard!
Hi MaryBeth! I'm new to TAR, glad that JODY didn't risk their race place.
This belly dancing is hilarious. I would fail so big time.
This show is nerve-wracking!
No prize for finishing 1st??
It is Petals, but it is a great show. Wears you out just watching it.
Ah, nice prize. Love Zurich.
Switzerland! Near my Roger??!?!!!
Joey chestnut dancing....
I would be huffing and puffing if I were on TAR. LOL
Team Yale did much better this week
Petals, you would LOVE Switzerland. It's a very clean and beautiful country.
awww, I love them!!!
They were just right there???!!!!
That is part of the beauty of TAR...Last to first is always possible
Penny, I've loved it from afar for years. The best watches, cheese, chocolate & TENNIS PLAYERS come from there. It's my dream country, but I'll prolly never be lucky enough to call it home.
I'm worried about the NBA team. I hope he's okay.
Monty sounds like you could use a pair of skis or a snowmobile!
The only reason I got to see Europe was because I was stationed in Germany. I traveled all over. Never made it to Africa or the Middle East though. I wanted to go, but just never made it. Switzerland and England were, by far, my favorite places.
Dang it, my team is last.
Doing the deliveries really hurt the last three teams.
Thank God. They're safe for now. Phewwww
That's great. I like them... saved by the non-Philimination
boy, that went quick. Very hectic hour.
See y'all next week.
Thanks, Jackie, for hosting.
I wonder if the may be eliminated means a non elimination leg! It was so they have a speedbump next week!
Your team is still in it Penny!
Thanks Jackie!! Have a safe week everyone!
Thank you so much, Jackie. Hope the rest of the week is better for you. Take care of yourself. See everyone next week!!!
LOL, Ed. I agree :)))
Thanks Jackie and the entire gang for a fun hour. See you all next week
Feel better, Ms J!
Stay warm, everyone. XOXOXOXOX
♥
Switzerland is gorgeous. Loved the day and a half I spent there. LOL. Had a beautiful night boat ride on Lake Lucerne
Be careful out there!! See you next week!
G'nite all!
Thanks Jackie!! Go team Yale........& (Jody too)
Thanks Jackie =)
Lucky for the NBA guys.
Send some of that snow down here. We have not had one storm yet this winter. No snow.
Everyone have a great week.
2 hours??? Wow.
Joe! Take me to Switzerland!
Thank you all for coming by!
My whole family was talking during this episode!! Ugh. So glad it was a non-elimination!
Thanks, Jackie!!
See you all next week!
<3
Oh... I like the NBA guys.... glad it’s a non elimination night!
Thanks Jackie!!!
