Are we ready for this? Let's GO!
Teams are flying to Hong Kong where they will have to find a photographers kiosk for their next clue. All teams are on the same flight. It's three teams against one as they all want Yale out. I'd like Yale to remain in because that's my blog pool team. But they are the weakest and youngest team. Plus, they have a Speed Bump ahead due to nonPhilimination last leg.
At the kiosk a photograph must be taken.
Henry and Evan have to illuminate and hang 40 Chinese lanterns as their Speed Bump.
Detour - Secure Hairy Crabs for fishermen, prepare 50 crabs in a typhoon or a game of "telephone" ordering a Chinese dish told to them in Mandarin. Indy gives up on the crabs because they're vicious.
Henry and Evan, doing the restaurant, are the first team to finish the Detour, followed by Indy. Later Jess and Cody, then the Ski Gals finish the crabs.
The Roadblock has them smashing electronics to find a clue. Yale in the lead, followed by Indy. Oh noes! One of the Ski Gals is breaking down instead of breaking up stuff in the Roadblock!
Teams have a briefcase and must unlock it by heading to the nightclub district , arrange signs to symbolize previous legs, then use it to open it.
Henry and Evan get their briefcase open first and are headed to the Pit Stop. Jess and Cody out of there next.
Pit Stop:
1. Henry and Evan - Phil told them they're heading to San Francisco but it's the next leg.
2. Jessica and Cody - bummed out Yale because they obviously weren't happy they were there.
3. Kristi and Jen
Alex and Conor Philiminated ... they never got the briefcase open.
Once in SF, they have to find the Say Hey Kid statue at the ball park. Once they get the clue, they have to kayak to find baseballs numbered with Willie Mayss home runs.
Kristi and Jen out first, then Jess and Cody.
Roadblock - The highest ascending climb, 20 stories, on the bridge and then a free fall jump. Cody through first, then the girls.
The clue has a diagram of where they need to go. Teams must find the fortune cookie factory and make 102 perfect fortune cookies.
Jen and Kristi beat out Jess and Cody at the cookies and are off to their next clue. Yale and BB are just about even.
Teams are heading to the USS Hornet. Ski Gals, Yale then BB. They have to search the Hornet for twelve parts of a plane, then build the plane according to the legs they've traveled.
JESSICA AND CODY WIN THE AMAZING RACE!
Henry and Evan came in just a few minutes later.
Congratulations blog pool winners DeLee, ChicMc, Megan H!
Wooooohooooo, this is it. Thank you for hosting us Jackie!!!
ReplyDelete~*~*~ SPLASH ~*~*~*~
ReplyDeleteWoohooo !! Cheering for Jessica & Cody !
I brought STELLA!
I don't watch TAR regularly: is this the farthest that any other BB team has gone?
ReplyDeleteDinner first and then I will have a Stella LOL I do have banana splits for later...
ReplyDeleteI think so Petals...
ReplyDeleteI like those 2 funny guys, the driver guys.
ReplyDeleteHi again Jackie and Penny! team Yale will have a tough time. they have a roadblock plus the other three teams are teaming up.
ReplyDeleteI have the Indy car guys...go go go!!
ReplyDeleteI have guacamole and chips and Pinot Grigio!! Enjoy all!!
ReplyDeleteFinale!!! I hope to be here until 11!
Thanks for posting, Jackie!!
Petals - Brendon and Rachel made it to third place, TAR20
ReplyDeleteYes, Brendon and Rachel came in third on both of their seasons on TAR
ReplyDeleteDidn't Rob and Amber go pretty far when they ran the race?
ReplyDeleteI would love to see Jessica and Cody win, but the Extreme ladies are really, really good.
ReplyDeleteJackie I remember one other BB pair on TAR but maybe it was a Survivor pair?
ReplyDeletePenny, I think they will win (extreme team)
ReplyDeleteTY. Darn, I wanted Jess & Cody to do better than the rest of the BBers (particularly Brenchal, lol)
ReplyDeleteHi SueGee and Petals. That is a good question about who did the best from BB?
ReplyDeleteRight Boston Rob and Amber...eliminated by a twist of fate! One of those challenges to find the needle in a haystack
ReplyDeleteHi Everybody!
ReplyDeleteJackie the odds are stacked against our Yale team, we'll have to see how it plays out. If Yale doesn't make it I'm all in with team BB/Jody.
Really the other 2 teams aren't bad either.......kinda like all the teams this season.
I still have dinner cooking so if I disappear it is just the time difference LOL
ReplyDeleteSueGee, Jeff and Jordan were also on TAR
ReplyDeleteIs that the Gangnum Style guy?
ReplyDeleteIt's been a pretty good race, overall.
ReplyDeleteI still want Evan gone...like apparently everyone. LOL
I love spoilers, but nobody has spilled the beans on who won. I've heard rumors, but nobody has said with any certainty who has won. It drives me nuts. LOLOL
ReplyDeleteOh how funny. Pictures. I wonder how much they'll sell them for at the end. LOL
At least none of these couples/pairs are whiners....
ReplyDeleteAwww, I love them!
ReplyDeleteI really do like Cody much better here than I did on BB.
ReplyDeleteJeff and Jordan I liked them!! But didn't last long did they?
ReplyDeleteI know SueGee. I am so thankful none are whining.
ReplyDeleteJess is going to suck at this. LOL
ReplyDeleteSee, see how good the Extreme women are? They saw it right away.
ReplyDeletePenny, I just read spoilers! I'm not unhappy.
ReplyDeleteYeah she is, Joe. This is where Jody will fail and fall behind. Hope I'm wrong.
ReplyDeleteno negative energy on my girl, Joe. LOL
ReplyDeleteUh oh, don't whine Jess. Just get it done.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't speak Cantonese, that's probably the one to do. Of Course, Henry might speak Cantonese.
ReplyDeleteCody is a machine! Jessica can’t keep up with him. The extreme ladies play off of each other well.
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious! I think Jess will hate this.
ReplyDeleteI can't help it, I always feel bad for the animals (even the slimy frogs from last week)
ReplyDeleteYeah, they do hurt when they pinch. Vicious killers. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat strikes me as a mistake. Taking an order in Cantonese? Eek! It'll either take 2 minutes if you have a good ear or like an hour
ReplyDeleteI love Jess, Petals, but remember the frog hunt last week? Cody might as well have been alone.
ReplyDeleteJoe Henry spoke Cantenese to the cab driver. That will help them do the order one!
ReplyDeleteI seem to be having trouble posting. My two previous posts disappeared!
ReplyDeleteI've been pinched AND bitten by Blue crab - the bite is worse than the pinch. A funny story of karma - my dad forbade me from skinny-dipping at the beach (we had a beach house, it was private), but I HAD to do it, because my friends were. My bikini bottoms floated away; I was bitten on the toe searching for them, LOL. Had to limp back to shore, trying to cover myself, bleating like an injured sheep.
ReplyDeleteLesson learned.
Jess is doing it! Go girl.
ReplyDeleteHey Jackie, it would irritate the heck out of me to have people question me abut being hurt. I hate that. As if you'd lie about being in so much pain. My brother works for USPS. When he fell through a rotted porch one year, he hurt his foot, really bad. The doctor put him on complete rest for 6 weeks. The USPS has a department that follows people around to catch them doing something they shouldn't be doing. They followed my brother for the whole 6 weeks. Can you believe that? People are such idiots.
ReplyDeleteJoe - I won't touch a frog, not for ... well, many dollars. A million guaranteed? Yeah. But ick! They are one of my 2 true phobias.
ReplyDeleteHi Ed!
ReplyDeleteI like all 4 teams left!
ReplyDeleteTeam Yale because they're my pool pick
Team BB/Jody my fan fave
Team Indy luv racing
Team Xtreme...they're very competitive
This us where team Yale is going to excel. This will catapult them in to the lead.
ReplyDeleteHey Petals! RF #1
ReplyDeleteHello, everyone. Got involved watching the town hall on CNN.
ReplyDeleteHi Kristen!
ReplyDeleteYes, ED!! I know! I watched it live, cried with happiness.
Wow, team Yale has done both tasks.
ReplyDeleteRage art. How funny. Love it!
ReplyDeleteLOL. Drunk redneck in America do that every weekend. Mwhahhaaa
ReplyDeleteBadly made bats!
ReplyDeleteyou're right , Penny. Cheap bats
ReplyDeleteThis poor woman! If you are not used to hitting with a bat, it hurts!
ReplyDeleteHenry did well. It is weird that the ordering challenge ended up faster. that is crazy story Petals.Team extream is hurting. The other teams had fun smashing things!
ReplyDeleteI thought based on last weeks editing that Yale is going to win it all. All the other teams don’t like them and there was something else that made me think that Yale wins it all! Ugh
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the final leg will have them remembering where they've been? If so, I really thing Team Yale has a leg up on all of them.
ReplyDeletePenny - No one is questioning my pain. It's just people online or texting me asking if I'm feeling better or telling me get well soon. I apparently look so rough out in public that people stop and ask if I need help. Sigh.
ReplyDeletetbc, there's a strong chance they could win it all. They are very smart. The team many don't like, usually always wins. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought. Here it is. They'll do great.
ReplyDeleteI don't want Team Extreme to be eliminated!!! I'd rather see Team Yale go. I'm mean.
ReplyDeleteOh, this poor girl.
ReplyDeletehi Kristin! This challenge is hard! looking for the signs!
ReplyDeleteJackie - a steroid (Prednisone, et al) may help with inflammation, and relieve pain, short term? At least it isn't narcotic; you could work?
ReplyDeleteNow, she’s willing to work with others... @@
ReplyDeleteDo not work with them, Team Indy. They won't tell you right! IMO
ReplyDeleteCrap!!
ReplyDeleteCrap. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteShe's a snot.
ReplyDeleteDouble crap!!
ReplyDeleteargh
ReplyDeleteWOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ReplyDeleteAs smart as Team Yale is, I think they have the best chance to win. Come on other guys.
ReplyDeleteI hope none of them forget to pay their cabbie. If they do, they have to go back before they can check in, right?
Jess & Cody haven't had a single disagreement, have they?
ReplyDeletePetals - Already did the Prednisone bit.
ReplyDeleteBut, could that put them in to some trouble by guessing? What if they had to go through the entire process to find each sign?
ReplyDeletePetals - It's gone too far to be able to work or try conservative measures. My back is pretty well trashed. I'm expecting the surgeon to recommend surgery Monday when I go.
ReplyDeletePenny - I think as long as they got it open, it's okay.
ReplyDeleteaw, Sorry Jackie.
ReplyDeleteI agree Nickel.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of those stupid things that is SOMETIMES a rule. Like when the Basketball players "helped each other"
ReplyDelete@ Jackie O.o Well, pain can make people look horrible. Not to say you look bad. You are in a lot of pain. I fell badly for you.
ReplyDeleteThat's kind of sweet and mean at the same time. LOL. They are sorry to lose someone, but it comes across as cold to Evan and Henry. Of course Evan is a cyborg anyway.
ReplyDeleteBoy, Evan is a brat. Did he say Team Yale gets to go in to business class? Must be the others get coach. Wow, that gives them a huge benefit.
ReplyDeleteSo Jess & Cody 1. DO play well with others, 2. Play great together, 3. have real love and 4. have made it as far as the other BBers.
ReplyDeleteYAY
👍🏻
DeleteWow, Team Indy is missing the NY sign.
ReplyDeleteOh no philiminated on the road!!
ReplyDeleteDarn. Poor guys.
ReplyDeleteI'm still on "anyone but Yale". LOL.
ReplyDeleteI hope Team Indy go to the BB house!! They are fun!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteThat would be fun, Petals!
DeleteThat's a loooooooong ways.
ReplyDeleteoh nooooooooooooo I'm outa the pool
ReplyDeleteJoe- I'm Team "Big Brother or Bust". 😛
ReplyDeleteI hope Jess and Cody do well. The other two are really, really good. Team Yale is so smart.
ReplyDeletePetals, you know I love me some Jody and that is my first choice for the win. But I would be okay with a Team Extreme win. I wouldn't even mind a Henry win (poor bastard deserves it). I just can't cheer for an Evan win. LOL
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone has gone from TAR to BB
ReplyDeleteEvan is not my favorite. They are the only team I won’t be happy about winning.
ReplyDeleteI don't want Team Yale either, but they are really smart. Look how fast they made it through their road block and the regular task. I really hope they don't win, but there is a very strong chance they do.
ReplyDeleteSqueeg - I think they did! A coupla seasons ago, there was that pretty brunette and her ex boyfriend? Jackie & Jeff (I think). Our Jackie or Monty would know better.
ReplyDeletePenny, my spoiler only confirmed to where we are now. Did your's go farther? PM me
ReplyDeleteThey need to stay ahead. Come on JODY!!!
ReplyDeleteIs that fair? TO have a local Google it for you?
ReplyDeleteTeamextreame will make it the whole race never finishing worst than 3rd on a leg of the race.Cody just twisted his ankle!
ReplyDeleteOh no!!! This is going to hurt JODY. I'm sad.
ReplyDeleteAfter they win the mil, Henry dumps Evan and runs away with the money...
ReplyDeleteSo Team extreme knows the right numbers. Come on JODY. COME ON!!!
ReplyDeletewhy? is that bad?
ReplyDeleteCrap!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey are in my backyard again!!
ReplyDeleteNo, I was saying crap to Team Yale. It's good they know the numbers. I'm just rooting for JODY. LOL. Won't be mad if Extreme wins, though.
ReplyDeleteThe finale has been in San Francisco before
ReplyDeleteOkay, Jess will not be happy if she has to jump in to that. LOL
ReplyDeleteNot fond of Team Yale! Oh Jackie, I hope the surgeon is able to help you!!
ReplyDeletetotally rooting for Jody!
ReplyDeleteGeesh, Evan is so bossy.
ReplyDeleteShe's a piece of work
ReplyDeleteHenry man, get a clue, she’s a biotch!
ReplyDeleteOh, come on Evan. You look bigger than Henry!
ReplyDeleteThis should sink Yale. They are not very athletic. Remember the competitive race.
ReplyDeletewow - that is PHYSICAL! ouchie
ReplyDeleteBeing far back doesn't mean anything.
ReplyDeleteI would hate that challenge.
ReplyDeleteCody is fearless, BABY!
ReplyDeleteClose your eyes & JUMP!
ReplyDeletewhich bridge are they on? I can't wait to watch all this!
ReplyDeleteIf this is the last task, it will sink Yale, but if it's not, they could catch up.
ReplyDeleteThat would be awesome! Bet Evan freaks out on it.
ReplyDeleteI just have to say, love beats "FRIENDSHIP"
ReplyDeleteif they are far enough behind, they are done. The challenges on the last leg are usually pretty straight forward to keep the teams close together.
ReplyDeleteAwwww, Joe - let's make-out. heehee 🤗
ReplyDeleteBlogger won't let me refresh w/o saying something
ReplyDeleteSue - it's big & pretty & archy & has lights?
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing the new part of the Bay Bridge
ReplyDeletecheesecake factory?
ReplyDeleteHoly crap. I can't believe she was timing it.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it the bread factory?
I love the taste of fortune cookies.
ReplyDeleteI saw a facts or fiction show on this. They even showed how they were made and who came up with Fortune cookies. So cool.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting ansy. I want to know who won! Dang it. The suspense is killing me!!!
darn it!
ReplyDeleteHasn't Cody done just about every task?
ReplyDeleteYou can buy seconds and unfolded cookies at shops in SF Love me some fortune cookies
ReplyDeleteCould this be where JODY falls behind?
ReplyDeletePenny - me too! I hate NOT KNOWING! I am a spoiler queen, but can't find anything about TAR.
ReplyDeleteshooot
ReplyDeleteThey have to split the tasks half and half I remember Jess doing some of them
ReplyDeleteOh no!
ReplyDeleteI think the Hornet is the last part of the leg. Looks like Team Extreme wins this.
ReplyDeleteOh no. Crap.
ReplyDeleteGO GO GO GO
ReplyDeleteHornet is across the bay in Alameda at the old NAS
ReplyDeleteuhoh, breaking weather news: Ice Storm alert in KCMO
ReplyDeleteGotta get to bed....
ReplyDeleteGood night! Im going to watch from my bed. Go Jody!!
Thank you, Jackie!!
ReplyDeleteI think we at least have a few people rooting for JODY. Other sites absolutely hate them. I love this group!!
ReplyDeleteNight tbc.
ReplyDeleteI like Jody or team extreame. Evan is bossy!
ReplyDeleteCrap, any lead JODY had, they lost it.
ReplyDeleteCOdy will love this!
ReplyDeleteI want to tell you. These aircraft carriers are HUGE!! And, I mean HUGE!!
ReplyDeletedid he just say, "but first?" hahah
ReplyDeleteg'nite Teeb!
ReplyDeleteThey hate them b/c they bought the false narrative created by Paul. Obviously Cody IS a Marine, IS a father, IS in love with Jessica, etc.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Hornet is haunted!! They have dances there for Halloween
ReplyDeleteGood, this will probably even everyone out. Sorry, but Jess is so bad at this. If it weren't for Cody, they'd have lost a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteoh, that's neat, Sue! Haunted by soldiers who died? What an interestingly eerie Halloween party to have!
ReplyDeleteSueGee, I can believe it's haunted. It's seen a lot of action.
ReplyDeletec'MON JODY!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletePenny - like in the BB house, Jessica's role is leveling Cody. They balance one another.
ReplyDeleteUh oh. Jess is going to go crazy. She has to do the challenge.
ReplyDeleteyou can do this Jess!
ReplyDeleteI agree they balance one another, but she isn't good at this game. Cody was made for this game.
ReplyDeleteoh, the JODY babies will be so pretty
ReplyDeleteLike she was better at Big Brother
ReplyDeleteCody doesn't look happy?
ReplyDeleteoh, whew
ReplyDeleteOh no, team Yale, will probably get this. He's so smart.
ReplyDeleteIn the end it's not a 'team' anymore....just a 'solo'
ReplyDeleteCody is finding pieces real quick! This is coming down to the wire. this has to be nerve wracking.
ReplyDeleteI saw where Jody got engaged a couple of weeks ago!
ReplyDeleteAnon - it was beautiful. He surprised her on a hike. ♥♥
ReplyDeletethis is nerve-wracking. Is every TAR finale like this? I can't take it.
ReplyDeletestupid/brilliant editing is killing me.
ReplyDeletePetals - The last challenge is always hard and listing legs of the race. This one is tougher than many. Usually the teams aren't all going at once, one is in the lead. This one is anyone's game at this point.
ReplyDeleteMost of the finales are down to the wire for at least two teams...or at least edited to appear close LOL
ReplyDeleteThe first season there was one team a whole day behind at the end. After that they made it so there are more catch-up points
This definitely evened every one of them out. Now it'll be potluck who wins.
ReplyDeleteCome on Henry, you're a Bulldog!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I need to hear the spoilers. I'm ansy. SOmeone tell me spoilers they've heard. Please! LOL
ReplyDeleteIt will happen very soon. Not too many minutes left.
ReplyDeleteSpoiler, Team Extreme, Jody, 1,2 is what I heard.
ReplyDeletePenny, I don't have the winner. sorry. If I knew, I'd tell u.
ReplyDeletenot leaving any time for the reunion
ReplyDeleteOMG! He had it. And, changed it.
ReplyDelete
