The Amazing Race 31: Episode 3 Blog Party


Two teams Philiminated in the first two episodes. The first episode Phil said a team WILL be eliminated. The second episode, he said MAY be eliminated. What will he say tonight? Are we due a non-Philimination? 

I realize there are spoilers out on the web regarding the winning team and the two other teams in the finale. I ask that no one post the spoilers in the comments here. If you wish to know, just Google the show name, season number and "spoilers." Then, when you find out -- keep it to yourself!

I will be live-blogging the major events as they air here on the East Coast. Refresh this post to get the latest news. I hope it's not like last week with a gaggle of teams arriving atop of each other. I couldn't keep up with them! The party itself is in the comments area -- feel free to join in!

Here are the latest blog pool standings from Lifeguard SueGee:

From Big Brother
Rachel & Elissa -- Delee, Nickelpeed
Nicole & Victor -- Jackie, Jennifer, Jenna G
Janelle & Britney -- Donna in FL, David, Monty924

From Survivor
Corinne & Eliza -- Dr_Celine, Caela, Willie J
Chris & Bret -- Paula B, Megan in NC, SueGee

From TAR
Colin & Christie -- Donna NY, Petals
Becca & Floyd -- Merrilee, Judi Sweeney, Glenn Allen
Leo & Jamal -- Kelsey NY, Indiana Jane, Cheryl in NC
Tyler & Korey -- Sharon N, Ed in Ohio

Philiminated
Art & JJ
Rupert & Laura

On your marks, get set … let's go!

Nine teams remain. Who will be eliminated next?

They're off to Vietnam next and have to use (and promote) the Travelocity app. 

Once there, they have to pick up a package of herbal remedies from the House of Vietnamese Medicine. 

Team Fun tries to make up and explain the U-Turn to Tyler and Korey. Meanwhile, Rachel and Elissa try to apologize to Team Fun. One apology seems to be accepted, the second one not so much.

BB makes an alliance to not U-Turn each other.

Vietnam is where Floyd got heat stroke during their season. Not so good memories for him!

Teams are racing around a building looking for the doctor.

Detour -- Catch you own prawns or dance with a dance group.

Leo and Jamal try to head the Survivor gals the wrong way, but they're onto them.

Team Fun finishes the dance first and heads to the Roadblock which is memorizing and singing a song in Vietnamese.

Watching the teams try to remove the prawns from the hooks is a hoot. Only Tyler and Korey and the Survivor Gals chose that. Rachel/Elissa are stuck on the dancing detour as other teams (including Victor/Nicole) pass them.

Team Fun hits the Roadblock and it's up to Floyd to take it on. Meanwhile, Elissa wants to quit the dancing. Chris and Bret are just about to start the dance. The Afghanimals and Britney/Janelle are still roaming about lost.

Chris/Bret head off fishing for prawns after one horrific try at dancing. The Survivor Gals beat out Tyler/Korey at prawns. 

Floyd got the Roadblock done on the first shot and they're headed off to the Pit Stop. Janelle/Britney made it through the dancing and now it's the Afghanimals trying to dance.

Eliza shows up as Victor is trying to learn the Roadblock song. She starts screaming so he heads off to do it. Heh. He made it through it despite Eliza.

Pit Stop --
1. Becca and Floyd, Team Fun! Also won a trip to the Bahamas.
2. Nicole/Victor
3. Colin/Christie
4. Tyler/Korey
5. Corinne/Eliza
6. Janelle/Britney
7. Rachel/Elissa
8. Leo/Jamal
9. Chris/Bret -- NON-PHILIMINATION!

All teams still in it. Chris and Bret will have to do a Speed Bump in the next leg.

SueGee said...

Howdy everyone!! I'll be away for a few while I get our dinner out of the oven. Anyone hungry??

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Jackie and Jennifer!

Glenn Allen said...

Hi SueGee.

Glenn Allen said...

The BB alliance might work for a little while since they will keep seeing each other at BB reunions or shows or weddings etc.

Jackie S. said...

Long time, no see you folks.

Glenn Allen said...

I hope Team Fun makes up for last time they were eliminated in Vietnam!

Joe in NY said...

hi again, folks

monty924 said...

Late again. Hi guys!!

Joe in NY said...

I don't think I'd ever choose a subjectively judged contest over an objective challenge. Too often, it seems like they pass people arbitrarily in the judged contests.

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Jackie, thank you again.

I'm trying to get things done while watching and reading. LOL

Hi Joe, Glenn, and Monty.

Nickelpeed said...

I love team Fun.

monty924 said...

Go team fun... Becca and Floyd

Nickelpeed said...

They can definitely give energy! LOL

jennifer said...

I’m Elaine from Seinfeld on dancing ( sadly) and not a good angler!!

Glenn Allen said...

Hi again Joe and Penny and Monty. The cab rides getting lost has happened a lot lately!

monty924 said...

Lol, Jennifer... I can see you dancing now :)))

jennifer said...

It’s just not pretty!

jennifer said...

Becca and Floyd killed it!

monty924 said...

Yeah, Elaine is the ultimate... LOL

Glenn Allen said...

Team Fun back in first place!

tbc said...

The Reilly sisters should have caught prawns

Joe in NY said...

This is what I mean about random.

monty924 said...

Rachel: I'm not 35! LOL

jennifer said...

Racheal still knows how to throw a fit

Nickelpeed said...

I don't want Ellissa and Rachel to get philiminated, but they just might. They're my pool team. LOL

tbc said...

They will get it on the first try

Nickelpeed said...

Yeah, Rachel can be a big baby at times.

Jackie S. said...

I'm probably going to have nightmares of "Welcome to Vietnam" followed by club music tonight.

SueGee said...

Listening to Rachael whine was the one reason I was sorry to see them on the race! I knew she would whine and have at least one melt-down!

Nickelpeed said...

I'm not an Eliza or Corrine fan, but I think it's funny they beat the guys. LOL

tbc said...

Lol

jennifer said...

Floyd is gonna be amazing!

Nickelpeed said...

Floyd is having so much fun.

tbc said...

That was so great!!

SueGee said...

My husband has lots of nightmares of music from Vietnam...mostly local and Filipino bands trying to sing American Rock & Roll

Glenn Allen said...

Wow Team Fun can go from worst to first!

Nickelpeed said...

Maybe this is a non philimination?

Judi Sweeney said...

Hey everyone!!!

Nickelpeed said...

LOL @ SueGee Yeah, they can sing Rock and Roll pretty bad.

jennifer said...

Karma to those guys!

tbc said...

Aww. Those poor guys

Nickelpeed said...

Eliza is annoying. I hope Vic gets it.

jennifer said...

VICTOR!!!

monty924 said...

Victor is so stinking cute!

Nickelpeed said...

I agree with you Jennifer. They lied to so many by throwing them off, it's about time they get behind. But, I think it's a non-elimination.

Nickelpeed said...

Gosh, I hope Janell and Brittany do well.

Nickelpeed said...

Yay, Team Fun!!!

SueGee said...

Non-elim makes my job easy LOL

SueGee said...

So tonight it isn't Rachael but her sister?? I think I may have to SCREAM

monty924 said...

Nic and Vic working really well together. Second place two weeks in a row!!

Nickelpeed said...

Love these two. Vic and Nic are so cute together!

jennifer said...

Love the commercials with Pil and the knome!!

SueGee said...

Excuse me, I was confused over Eliza and Elissa....(I can't even watch the show for 2 more hours)

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Judi! Does the Big Brother alliance beat the other teams in learning the song?

monty924 said...

Yay, non-Philimination

jennifer said...

Thanks Jackie! Everyone have a fantastic week!!

monty924 said...

Thanks so much Jackie!! Will see all of you fine folks next week... back to work

Nickelpeed said...

WOW. They are lucky.

THANK YOU JACKIE!!! Appreciate you giving us a place to talk TAR. Do not know if I'll be here next week for either Survivor or TAR. We'll be on the road.

Jackie S. said...

Thank you all for coming tonight! And, thank the teams for not all piling into the Pit Stop so closely that I can't keep track of the order. Tonight was much better.
