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 --  

#TeamBigBrother (Cody & Jessica)    DeLee, ChicMc, Megan H
#TeamExtreme (Kristi & Jen)    Janice from GA/FL, Kristen From Ohio
#TeamFirefighters (Eric & Daniel)    Judi Sweeney, Indiana Jane
#TeamIndyCar (Alex & Conor)    SueGee, Brian, Brenda
#TeamOceanRescue (Lucas & Brittany)    Donna in FL, Glenn Allen
#TeamWellStrung (Trevor & Chris)    Fred aka TwoBlackAces, Petals
#TeamYale (Henry & Evan)    Jackie, Ed in Ohio

Philiminated    
#TeamRingGirls (Dessie & Kayla)   
#TeamGoatYoga (April & Sarah)    Sharon N, Merrilee

#TeamSlamDunk (Cedric & Shawn)    Nickelpeed, Willie in NC
#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.

Joe in NY said...

Hi folks

SueGee said...

Hi to our hostess Jackie - Hope you are feeling better or at least comfortable.

The pool is heated and I BBQ'd some sliders for our enjoyment

Nickelpeed said...

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

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Joe and Sue!!!

SueGee said...

Hi Penny & Joe!!

SueGee said...

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

Petals said...

~*~*~*~* SPLASH *~*~*~*

HEY EVERYONE! Hi Jackie & Vincent!

SueGee said...

Hiya Petals

SueGee said...

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...

SueGee said...

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

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Petals!

tbc said...

Hi, everyone! No team Chew! So sad!

Got snacks and wine! Enjoy!!

Nickelpeed said...

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

Nickelpeed said...

Hi tbc

Nickelpeed said...

They wasted their time. LOL

Glenn Allen said...

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

Nickelpeed said...

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

tbc said...

Love the beer challenge 😉

Nickelpeed said...

Can't they write this stuff down?

Nickelpeed said...

Please do not U-turn, please.

Petals said...

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

Petals said...

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

Glenn Allen said...

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!

Petals said...

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

Petals said...

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

Nickelpeed said...

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

Petals said...

Jackie - how are you?

tbc said...

My husband is drooling over the beer!

SueGee said...

I would expect BB people to U-Turn someone LOL

Glenn Allen said...

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

Ed in Ohio said...

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

Petals said...

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

Nickelpeed said...

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

Petals said...

LOL, TBC. The beer does look tasty

Nickelpeed said...

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.

tbc said...

Those phones!! Torture!!

Petals said...

oh look - the Customer Service Department at AT&T

Nickelpeed said...

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

Nickelpeed said...

Petals - LOL

Glenn Allen said...

Wow my team is lost and still argueing!

~~Silk said...

Note-taking is not allowed.

tbc said...

Oh boy

Nickelpeed said...

Thanks, Silk.

Nickelpeed said...

These women are going to be huge contenders!

Petals said...

wow - Prague looks so beautiful from there. Breathtaking

Petals said...

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

Nickelpeed said...

This would be terribly frustrating.

Nickelpeed said...

I think they're extreme sports? Or skiers?

Petals said...

thanks Pen! They are a powerhouse

Nickelpeed said...

That's so not good.

Petals said...

aww, good. Jessica was smart.

Petals said...

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

tbc said...

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

Nickelpeed said...

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

Jackie S. said...

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

Nickelpeed said...

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.

Glenn Allen said...

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.

Nickelpeed said...

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

Nickelpeed said...

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

Nickelpeed said...

Wow, they still beat JODY.

tbc said...

Brittany still beat Jessica....

Nickelpeed said...

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

Petals said...

This warning about "anything can happen" is ominous

tbc said...

I’m so bummed!!!

Nickelpeed said...

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

I am so sad for the Violinists. That sucks.

Petals said...

what cool guys!

Nickelpeed said...

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

Thanks for hosting us, Jackie. Greatly appreciated.

See everyone next week.

Petals said...

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

xoxox

David said...

Thanks Jackie =)

Everyone have a great week.

Jackie S. said...

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

Nickelpeed said...

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.

Bill Cornelius said...

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

Nickelpeed said...

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

Thanks Jackie! Why an hour later?

Glenn Allen said...

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

David said...

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

tbc said...

Great to see everyone tonight!

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

Judi Sweeney said...

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

Petals said...

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?

Nickelpeed said...


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.

David said...

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.

chrob61 said...

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

Bill Cornelius said...

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