The Amazing Race 31: Episodes 5 and 6 Blog Party
Yep, we have two hours of the race going on tonight! I hope you all have your snacks and adult beverages prepped! We aren't all that far into the season, but I find it rather surprising that only one team from Survivor is left while all three Big Brother teams remain in the race. I think the prior TAR teams have an edge, however even one of those teams is gone before the BB teams!
I'll be live blogging and updating this post with the major events throughout the show as it airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments -- feel free to join in on the discussion!
Without further ado, here's where we stand with Lifeguard SueGee in the blog pool:
From Big Brother
Rachel & Elissa -- Delee, Nickelpeed
Nicole & Victor -- Jackie, Jennifer, Jenna G
Janelle & Britney -- Donna in FL, David, Monty924
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
Are you ready? Let's GO!
Eight teams remain. Who will be eliminated next? The teams are heading to Dubai. All are on the same flight.
They are now among luxury cars and drink tea with the locals. They're directed to look into the cars, then travel by taxi headed to the next clue. They're going to the Dubai Frame, a huge building that looks like a frame. Um, okay.
It's like a picture frame with old Dubai on one side, new on the other.
Detour -- sky diving jump master, parachute down to pick up a clue. Or, largest dinosaur park searching for five different colored eggs to return to their nest(s?). Only two teams can jump at one time, so some are going to the eggs just to avoid the wait. Rachel and Elissa are having issues with their taxi driver. Once they get to the eggs, they decide to switch because too many teams are there. Those looking for the eggs have to wear those neato T-Rex costumes.
Whoa! The jump is actually a virtual reality game in which they have a task to complete, not a simple jump. There's even a test at the end of it. If they fail, they have to take it over. So, there's a wait there, too.
Bret and Chris finish the eggs first, then Colin and Christie the jump. Britney and Janelle put all their eggs in the wrong nest. It does seem like the nest folks are finishing easier.
It's a Roadblock next. One with all wearing headphones. The racer has to listen to the music and decide who is dancing to the dj's music. It's a silent rave party.
Becca and Floyd got through the silent disco first thanks to Floyd's beats background. They're headed to the Pit Stop. They have to fly in there Superman style? Hmm.
Leo/Jamal and Rachel/Elissa are both lagging behind the others. Oh, geez, after finishing the dance Roadblock, we get Rachel's tears of drama again.
It seems many are heading to the Pit Stop right in a row. They have to take a marked elevator, then take a zipline over Dubai.
Pit Stop order:
1. Becca and Floyd! Also each won $5,000
2. Chris and Bret
3. Colin and Christie
4. Tyler and Korey
5. Nicole and Victor
6. Janelle and Britney
7. Leo and Jamal
8. Rachel (still crying) and Elissa … it's NON-PHILMINATION! They're still in it.
In the teaser for the next hour, they're heading to Uganda and the Head to Head Challenge returns. Oy.
Eight teams remain. Who will be eliminated next? Deja vu.
Sure enough, heading to Uganda and then to the capitol. All teams are right together once again pretty much starting on a level playing field. Tyler and Korey are a bit concerned about a possible bias against gay couples.
Rachel/Elissa and Janelle/Britney have dubbed themselves as the Mom Squad.
They're headed to the National Mosque. The Afghanimals are looking forward to seeing animals. They have to change into acceptable clothes for the mosque. They have to count 272 steps they need to climb. Gah, Tyler and Korey read research about the mosque and didn't count but the count they remembered was wrong. Apparently the Minuret (sp?) is different than the mosque itself, Ah it's between marked spots.
Teams then have to head to a market to find the next clue.
Rachel is whining again climbing the stairs.
Traffic there is ridiculous! In the market there's a Speed Bump for Rachel and Elissa.
Roadblock -- teams have to shop for ingredients and make a special sandwich.
Nicole and Victor are leading. Then the teams head off to the Gava Strip or something to that effect.
The Speed Bump has Rachel and Elissa doing laundry and finding a place to hang it.
Janelle is still looking for a Rolex watch when the Roadblock is actually Rolled Eggs. Rachel and Elissa killed the laundry task.
Ah, a Detour is next -- either salting fish or loading wood and delivering on a bike. Janelle is so lost still at the Roadblock.
The delivery Detour is tough with muddy dirt roads. Tyler and Korey think they're getting a lot of positive energy. But I'm wondering if people are even realizing they're gay. Colin is maintaining his cool unlike in his season.
Janelle finally found the rolled eggs counter. They're way behind.
Tyler and Korey head to Head to Head. Drums must be moved one at a time into four colored stacks, winners head to Pit Stop. Losers battle the next team and so on. Last loser is Philiminated.
Elissa/Rachel seem to be the only ones doing salty roll instead of stacking and delivering the wood. They're actually pretty well-versed at it having had to clean fish from childhood.
Tyler/Korey are against Colin/Christie for the first Head to Head.
Tyler vs. Colin. Tyler wins!
Nicole/Victor against Colin/Christie
Victor vs. Colin (drums restacked)
Colin wins.
Nicole/Victor vs, Bret/Chris
Victor wins
Bret against Floyd
Bret wins
Floyd against Leo
Floyd wins
Jamal against Rachel
Jamal wins
BB Battle now --
Rachel vs Britney
Rachel wins
Pit Stop
1. Tyler/Korey - won a trip to Singapore
2. Colin/Christie
3. Victor/Nicole
4. Bret/Chris
5. Floyd/Becca
6. Leo/Jamal
7. Rachel/Elissa
Britney and Janelle are Philiminated. There are tears but they don't go out bitter or nasty like Eliza/Corinne did.

Hi Jackie and Everyone!
Looks like Two hours tonight.
Yep, that's why I have two episode numbers in the title.
Heehee.
I guess we're getting off to a quiet start.
Hi friends!!
That was a good idea Jackie, I wonder where everyone is tonight, I finally got some help at the Doctors about the fluid leaking in my legs. They put me in a Ulnar boot with a steroid creame and zinc in the dressing and compression stockings, It seems to be helping so far,
Hi Jennifer,
Hi Jackie! Thank you for giving us a place to talk.
Hi Glenn!! Hi Jennifer.
I LOVE THAT TEAPOT!!
Glenn, I hope the medicine helps you. What is an Unar Boot? Is it like a regular foot/leg boot?
What a beautiful city!
What a fun challenge!!
Speedy healing!!
Well, if my pool team doesn't pick it up, they will be eliminated. It's early though.
So tonight, we in the KC area will be having severe weather interruptions!! Grrrrrr
Agreed!!
I hope that helps you, Glenn. You know I know pain really sucks the life out of you!
Hi Penny its similar. They used something calllled a coflex tLc zinc lite 2 layer compression kit.
Still on the weather alert!
It seems to be helping. They got me a home nurse to come bye and change the bandages and to check on me now. Which is good, They come by twice a week now.
Be careful Jennifer.
Got kicked off.
Jennifer, stay safe.
Glenn, that's interesting. I hope it helps you.
How did these groups get so far behind?
We have dinosaur races at the ball park. It's hilarious.
That would be frustrating having it change all the time.
Thank you Penny.
Welp, the weather man just addressed the amazing race fans and said we could watch the show tomorrow for free on cbs.com
The storms are about 2 hours outside of KC... they are going back to our show!!!!yay!!!
That sucks Jennifer.
We had that happen during Survivor 36 finale (I think). The weather people stayed on tv for 4 hours. We were told we could watch it on line. They got so many complaints, they aired it Saturday. I was so peeved.
Oh, and the storms were like a lamb.
We've had two beautiful spring days in a row. But storms in the forecast for tomorrow evening.
Well, looks like Rachel and Elissa could be eliminated.
OMG! I'd love that. So cool!
Team Fun is team Number one and win 5000 dollars each and rap with Phil.
Yep, Rachel and Elissa will probably be eliminated. My pool pick. Dang.
Yayayayayay
Rachael still in it since was no elimination.
Glenn … you didn't update that Rachel had her meltdown.
BTW - You all realize that Glenn was a blog pool winner last week, right?
Thanks Jackie. Hopefully the Big Brother teams grouped near the back can work together to pass some teams and Hopefuly Team Fun still does well.
I just adore Team Fun. They're so refreshing!
It is crazy seeing all the traffic problems that slow down teams.
Hey folks
Hi Joe!
Jackie, I love Team Fun, too. They are so laid back.
Any team is better than last week's losers. [2 weeks ago.] I was very disappointed to see my Survivor "friends" be such poor sports.
Janelle and Brit have a lot of catching up. Come on girls!!!
Rolled eggs and rolex. That was good. Duh, over my head, I just got it. LOL
Hi Joe!
Finally came back on!!!
I agree, Joe. They were not really good.
Poor Janelle, she doesn't realize it's not a watch. :'(
Yay, Jennifer!
Very true Penny about Rolex and Roll Eggs lol.
They need to take time to reread the clue when not sure.
Oh no Janelle, she should look for the others, but holy moly, that’s a big market
Have any of you ever been to the Reality Fan Forum? Their moderator is very interesting. I bet she gas a gavel.
Poor Janelle.
That is disgusting.
That's the pits
Awwww, Janelle... :-(
Editing aside, aren't Janelle and Brit way behind since all the other teams are gone when they got there?
Of course, the head-to-head ending means that it doesn't really matter if Janelle finishes last.
Doesn't the wife in that 2nd team look like she could be another sister to Rachel
I have been fighting a wicked sore throat and aching ears for 4 days. I had laryngitis for 2 of those days. Today was the first day I've felt have way decent. All because my sinuses are bad. Just glad to get rid of the sore throat. Felt like sandpaper when I swallowed.
Oh no!
Hoping you continue to get well Penny!
The stacking looks exhausting!!
Thank you. I'm waiting for my sinuses to clear up. I do have a referral to ENT, but I haven't received it yet. Just waiting.
It does, doesn't it, Jennifer.
Oh no... a BB showdown!!
Awww, poor Brit. Shut up Elissa!
I hate that one of the Big Brother teams will get eliminated.
That was much better sportsmanship
Darn.
Hi everyone! Got a late start. Wow... sounds like a busy night! Glad to see my team came in first during the first round!
Night all, have a wonderful week!!
I didn't know Brits daughter had cancer. Wow.
Night every one. Thank you Jackie.
Hi Judi. Glad you made it for the last 2 teams. ;-)
Ack, Judi … you got here just as we're wrapping up!
Thank you all for coming!
