TAR32: Blog Party October 21 Episode

 

Are you ready to race?

SueGee has updated the blog pool and we're following our long tradition of reassigning folks who had the unfortunate circumstance of backing the first Philimination team. And, in a season like this, before we even barely knew them! The updated blog pool can be found at this here link.

I'll be updating this entry the best I can as the show airs here on the East Coast. I'm still iffy on some of the names, so you might see me referring to teams with descriptors rather than names. I promise you by the time the season ends, I'll have the names down! Heh. Refresh this page to get the latest update. As always, the real party is in the comments area -- I hope to see you there!

We left the teams still racing from the Tobago pit stop and receiving a clue to catch a flight to Bogota, Colombia. The flight is a bunching point with all teams on it. Ohh ... thin air as it's high altitude. That might do in some teams a bit.

Once they land, they travel by taxi to salt mines. Search the underground tunnels for hourglasses. They can stop another team for ten or twenty minutes. They can also yield a team. They also sign up for the first release time for the next clue. The more time they spend looking for a 20 minute hourglass, the more likely they are to have a later release time. The earliest is 6am. Most of them have ten minute hourglasses.

Travel on foot, climb a bell tower, find an emerald or a golden wrap and deliver to respective places to get next clue. 

Then travel by taxi to the location of the next clue -- first opportunity to use the hourglass if they wish. Uh-oh, the Olympic women are lost. The blond sisters are lost, too. Eventually they catch up to each other.

NFL is in lead, followed by Hung and Chee. The Roadblock is a circus theme tightrope walk in costume. holding a wine bottle. Then they have to go back across with a tray of glasses. So far no one has Yielded anyone. 

The new clue location has teams attaching items to customized truck. NFL is started. Several teams arriving.

NFL first and traveling by taxi for their next clue.

Uh-oh. The Olympic women are in last place going into the Roadblock.

Hung and Chee are in the lead heading to the pit stop. They are followed by NFL. Meanwhile, Olympics redeemed themselves on the tightrope.
