The Amazing Race 31: Episode 7 Blog Party


Due to violent storms coming through the area -- if I disappear, it would most likely be a power outage. I'm sure I'm still alive. Well, I think so anyway.

As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll be live blogging the major events and constantly updating this entry. Refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, the party is in the comments area. Feel free to join in on the fun!

Here are the latest standings in the blog pool as World Traveler SueGee is out and about --

From Big Brother
Rachel & Elissa -- Delee, Nickelpeed
Nicole & Victor -- Jackie, Jennifer, Jenna G

From Survivor
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
Corinne & Eliza
Janelle & Britney

Let's go! 

Seven teams remain. Who will be eliminated next?

Teams are heading to Zurich, Switzerland from Uganda. Teams seem to have a wait for their flights, so they mingle a bit. Team Fun and the Afghanimals share a bit of a dislike for Rachel and Elissa … until they show up. They talk about who to U-Turn next. When Nicole/victor come up, the BB gals aren't into it. They would prefer to U-Turn Team Fun as Team Fun are actually talking about not U-Turning them. Oy.

First, they need to take a train. Rachel told Nicole that Team Fun wanted to U-Turn them. Nicole/Victor are a bit suspicious. Now, because Nic/Vic don't really buy it, there's a rift between the BB teams. Meanwhile, the other teams pep talk Nicole/Victor.  

They have a 3k run to snag their next clue. Roadblock -- Who wants to take the scenic route? They must freefall then find a clue in a raging gorge.

From there, they're off by helicopter to get their next clue. Tyler and Korey are still in the lead.

Nicole was scared to take the jump, but she did it. 

Detour -- Ride steepest something, reading clues, must ride up and down until they get it right … or canyoning. 

Rachel/Elissa are only ahead of Bret/Chris still doing the Roadblock.

Leo/Jamal have taken over the lead and are the first heading towards the Pit Stop. Rachel/Elissa seem to be the nemesis of more and more teams. It's more Rachel's doing than Elissa's. Surprising, I know.

Leo/Jamal have to wait for the doohickey to return for them (cable car?). It's possible they might have lost their lead to Korey/Tyler who completed the other task.

Pit Stop
1. Tyler/Korey - won a spa day
2. Colin/Christie
3. Becca/Floyd
4. Leo/Jamal
Note top four are TAR
5. Rachel/Elissa
6. Chris/Bret 
Rachel has tied most number of legs run
7. Nicole/Victor got lost

Bret/Chris and Rachel/Elissa have no clue where they're going. The girls are following the lost guys. Victor/Nicole horribly lost.

NONPHILIMINATION! Nicole/Victor still in it although facing a Speed Bump next leg.

Hi Jackie and Vincent. Thank you for giving us a place to come and talk. I'll be coming and going, I'm also watching American Ninja Warrior.

Plus, I lost my phone and can't find it. LOL

Nickelpeed said...

crickets....LOL

Nickelpeed said...

I wish they wouldn't U-turn anyone. It's bad ju-ju.

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Jackie and Penny and everyone who follows!

Nickelpeed said...

Come on Vic and Nick! My pool team are Rachel and Elissa.

Anonymous said...

Hello Jackie and the gang !!!

Nickelpeed said...

I should say Vic and Nic. LOL

Glenn Allen said...

Penny I lost my Cell phone yesterday as well. It was the cell phone my mom got before she died 3 years ago. I thought I left it at Doctors office yesterday but they said didn't see it.

Anonymous said...

That rope would scream and snap if I was swinging on it lol

Glenn Allen said...

I hope you find your phone. The Doctor said my Legs and everything looking better and continueing the treatments.

Nickelpeed said...

I would swing off the gorge, but I wouldn't bungee jump.

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Jon! This is a crazy challenge. I saw the commericial for Big Brother June 25.

Nickelpeed said...

I just found it. Thank you Glenn. Hi!

Hi Jon

Petals said...

Hi! Sorry can't splash down yet, TV issues. Monty is also delayed...

Anonymous said...

I am already squealing inside for big brother lol

Nickelpeed said...

These people are having too much fun. LOL I love Team Fun.

Nickelpeed said...

Poor Nicole.

Nickelpeed said...

Don't do it Nicole. Don't go to the back of the line.

Nickelpeed said...

It's too bad Vic couldn't do it.

Glenn Allen said...

It is not good to have Nicole having to decide between overcoming her fear and Jumping or going to the back of the line.

Glenn Allen said...

I am glad you found it Penny! I am glad she jumped.

Petals said...

do we have a real houseguest for BB yet? I've seen teasers about it being an "all star", but I doubt it could be real.
Please tell me Paul isn't really coming back. Again. No, please not again.

Glenn Allen said...

I am planning on doing the live feeds again for Big Brother. Hopefully we have great houseguests.

Sebastian lol

Joe in NY said...

Hi folks

Petals said...

sebastian???

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Petals. I haven't heard anything about all stars.

Petals said...

My antenna isn't working, so I am watching GoT (again). I can't see TAR, who is Sebastian?

Anonymous said...

That’s a very beautiful location

Petals said...

thanks Glenn. I hope it's not any of the teasers list. They were worthless (except for Brett...)

Anonymous said...

Lol he was the guide the guys got

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Petals! Well, what did you think of GOT ending?

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Joe. It is a great view. I was in Switerland one day when I was in the national guard. We were doing 2 weeks training in Italy when given a day off. The Swiss Alps were beautiful.

Nickelpeed said...

Glenn, I'm glad Nic jumped, too. It would have been bad if she had to go to the back of the line.

Wow, everyone hates Rachel and Elissa.

Petals said...

HATED IT! I love Dany, it broke my heart, her baby had to carry her away :(

Petals said...

Glenn - Swiss Alps. Switzerland. Home of all the most amazing things: the best watches, the best cheese, the best tennis player! ♥

Nickelpeed said...

Yes, they are, Glenn. I took a gondola up the Matterhorn. We all witnessed an actual avalanche.

I want to take that cable car!! I thought it was a luge of some sort.

Jackie S. said...

Sebastian is one of the guides.

Once again, it's all rumors about the BB cast. The announcement won't be made for about three weeks. Don't believe anything you read online. We go through this every BB season with fake cast news.

Petals said...

Thanks Jackie! *whew*

Nickelpeed said...

Let's not run for no reason...LOL

Nickelpeed said...

Nice reward!

Glenn Allen said...

Nicole had a good idea about asking for directions. Racheal just doesn't want to run, That was amazing about Rachels record of most legs with the Globetrotters and another team.

Nickelpeed said...

My internet keeps going out. We haven't had regular internet since Monday's storms. So, I'm tethering from my phone. It doesn't stay on all the time.

Vic and nic last

Nickelpeed said...

Noooooo, Vic and Nic need to get moving!!!

Anonymous said...

That’s good they didn’t go out

Joe in NY said...

Isn't this the 3rd non-elimination leg already????

Nickelpeed said...

Rachel just can't stop. Thank God it's a non-elimination.

Nickelpeed said...

Thank you Jackie. Appreciate it so much.

See everyone next week!!

Jackie S. said...

Thank you all for coming by!

Thanks Jackie !!!! Everyone have a great night and rest of the week!!!

Nickelpeed said...

@Petals, just read your comment. I hated it, too. I wish it never happened, and I'm a Jon fan.
