The Amazing Race 30: January 31 Episode Blog Party


I'm ready for tonight's show! How about you? I'll be live blogging the major happenings the best I can as they air here on the East Coast. But the real party is in the comments area -- come join in on the fun! 

Next week the show moves to an hour later -- 9pm ET/PT as the new Celebrity Big Brother will air in this time slot.

The Left Coast Lovely SqueeGee SueGee has updated the blog pool --

#TeamChomp (Joey & Tim)    David, Chrob61, tbc 

Are we ready? Yep! Let's get this show ON!

Teams are booking flights to Prague ... through Tavelocity product placement apps. Double U-Turn ahead! There are two flights, arriving an hour apart.

None of the first four teams U-Turn anyone -- Twins, Yale, SkiGals, Ocean

This or That Detour. Czechs drink more beer per capita than any other country. Teams must restack beer, then deliver a keg to a party boat in This. In That, teams must pay attention to details about the Earth being flat or round, remember details and orate. 

The second set of teams arrive.  Jess and Cody U-Turn the Violinists.

The Twins did the almost impossible oration Detour. The next stop is bathing in beer. Woot woot. Too bad they only see rather large men doing so!

The Roadblock is the gazillion phones in a room, only eight have a recording of a word. Put the words together. Kafka-esque indeed."The meaning of life is that it stops."

Pit Stop:
1. Kristi and Jen - won a trip to Australia

The twin and Yale Evan worked together on the phones and made it through.

2. The Twins
3. Yale 
4. Alex and Conor
5. Lucas and Brittany
6. Cody and Jessica
7. Trevor and Chris -- Philiminated 

Sigh. I liked them.

  3. I hate double U-turns. Karma always bites the butt of the people who use them.

    ReplyDelete
  4. It was 75 here today so I turned on the BBQ for dinner tonight!

  5. ~*~*~*~* SPLASH *~*~*~*

  6. When this show is over they (CBS) are going right into the new Survivor...saw an article today that makes it sound exciting as always...

    ReplyDelete
  7. Also saw Julie's tour of the BB house. They have plushed it out a bit LOL

    ReplyDelete
  8. Hi, everyone! No team Chew! So sad!

    Got snacks and wine! Enjoy!!

    ReplyDelete
  9. I can't wait for the next Survivor. Sounds really good.

    ReplyDelete
  10. They wasted their time. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  11. Hi Jackie, Penny,Joe TBC, Suegee and Petals! This should be a crazy show!

    ReplyDelete
  12. In the summer, I work at a ballpark. Every person who wants a beer, does not want foam. It is different in Europe. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  13. Love the beer challenge 😉

    ReplyDelete
  14. Can't they write this stuff down?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Please do not U-turn, please.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I don't think that couple will last...the one who left the classroom? Don't know the names.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Penny, I was thinking the same thing - taking notes! LOL

    ReplyDelete
  18. I like the getting a question wrong then get the answer and keep going back. I hope my Ocean Rescue team can do well. I hate the Uturns as well!

    ReplyDelete
  19. do they both have to sit thru the class, or can the relay?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Ocean Rescue! That's the couple that won't last.

    ReplyDelete
  21. No, no, nooooooooooo. I wish they hadn't done that!

    ReplyDelete
  22. My husband is drooling over the beer!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I would expect BB people to U-Turn someone LOL

    ReplyDelete
  24. Big Brother uses the Uturn and then they go to the wrong lecture hall!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Hi everybody! Jumpin' in late. Turned on the TV and the first thing I see is guys taking a beer bath!?!?!?!

    ReplyDelete
  26. that man looks pregnant!!
    (hands off, girls! He's mine!)

    ReplyDelete
  27. The poor musicians. Darn. They are smart, though.

    ReplyDelete
  28. LOL, TBC. The beer does look tasty

    ReplyDelete
  29. I'm just disappointed that JODY u-turned someone. I guess they felt they needed a boost.

    At least the Musicians made it through the first. Someone might stay lost for awhile.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Those phones!! Torture!!

    ReplyDelete
  31. oh look - the Customer Service Department at AT&T

    ReplyDelete
  32. The only beer I liked when we were overseas was Heineken. European beer is so bitter. But, the distilleries are very cool to visit.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Wow my team is lost and still argueing!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Note-taking is not allowed.

    ReplyDelete
  35. These women are going to be huge contenders!

    ReplyDelete
  36. wow - Prague looks so beautiful from there. Breathtaking

    ReplyDelete
  37. are cristi & jen are "couple" or co-workers or what?

    ReplyDelete
  38. This would be terribly frustrating.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I think they're extreme sports? Or skiers?

    ReplyDelete
  40. thanks Pen! They are a powerhouse

    ReplyDelete
  41. aww, good. Jessica was smart.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Why does that Ocean couple always end-up relying on Jessica to help them?

    ReplyDelete
  43. Brittany would do the same thing, make sure she got the clue first.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I am so glad she didn't take the other taxi.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Petals - Kristi is one of the pioneer women in extreme skiing. Jen was a fan, then competitor, now they're good friends.

    ReplyDelete
  46. The other thing I don't like is that they said they were on the first flight and now they're almost last. I hope they don't blame that on JODY. Not getting the complete clue did not cause them to fall behind.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I think the team is for doing extreme jumping on Skies. They competed against each other and became friends! They are a powerhouse team, team Jody are not making friends with the ocean rescue team or the other team giving false order of clues.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Thanks, Jackie. I knew it was extreme or skiing. It's both. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  49. I love these old roads in Europe. They are so beautiful. Heck all of Europe is beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Wow, they still beat JODY.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Brittany still beat Jessica....

    ReplyDelete
  52. Well, when you U-turn, you always end up last and possibly going home.

    ReplyDelete
  53. This warning about "anything can happen" is ominous

    ReplyDelete
  54. No, Jody, they're mad at you, now.

    I am so sad for the Violinists. That sucks.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Yeah Petals, I wonder what's going to happen.

    Thanks for hosting us, Jackie. Greatly appreciated.

    See everyone next week.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Thank you Jackie! I hope you are feeling better soon.
    Love chatting with you awesome people; HAPPY FEBRUARY EVE!

    xoxox

    ReplyDelete
  57. Thanks Jackie =)

    Everyone have a great week.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Thanks for coming by! Next week the show is on an hour later.

    ReplyDelete
  59. We have to remember, though, they are competing for a million dollars. What would you do to win? I just don't like doing others wrong. I still like JODY, but I wish they hadn't done that. However, they could have been eliminated, apparently, this did save them.

    ReplyDelete
  60. That makes two network shows that Jessica and Cody have proven they are a couple of worthless POS.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Oh no!!! Watch it be Jessica and Brittany. Yikes!

    Thanks Jackie! Why an hour later?

    ReplyDelete
  62. Wow a team swap like Survivor. I was just typing could that be a possibility1

    ReplyDelete
  63. Penny, it is an hour later because the BB celebrity is on before it starting next week.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Great to see everyone tonight!

    Thanks for hosting, Jackie!! I hope you are feeling better soon!!

    ReplyDelete
  65. At least my pool boy twins are still in! Thanks Jackie!!

    ReplyDelete
  66. Bill - To make sure I understand you: any team that uses a U-Turn is a POS? What if a "beloved" team had used it against Jody?

    ReplyDelete

  67. Petals, I think he's a worm. I've never seen this Bill on here before. He's a troll. Even the symbol in front of his name is different.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Whoa....BB Celebrity and then TAR is a 2 hour show next week. Dang, might have to get a whole lot of snacks to last 3 hours. We are going to look like prunes by the time we leave the pool.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I liked those violinists too! I hope that team BB gets uturned!

    ReplyDelete
  70. Petals - not at all, U-Turn is part of the game. teaming with an opponent then misleading or sabotaging them isn't.
