TAR32: October 28 Episode Blog Party

 

Are you ready to race through a full block of television? We have this hour of The Amazing Race followed by the two-hour season finale of BB22. Yikes! I have it set for my BB22 post to appear at 8:55pm ET, so please be sure you are on the right show post.

For those who want refreshers on the teams and the blog pool, you can find the update with teams links right at this here post.

I'm still a bit fuzzy on the team names, but will do my best to update this post with the major happenings on the show. Please refresh the page to get the latest news. As always, the real party is in the comments. I hope to see you there!

Teams were last in Bogota, Colombia. All still have hourglasses that can Yield a team for either ten minutes or twenty. All teams are using Travelocity flying to Brazil. They're heading to the "Jungle City" and will be near/on the Amazon for the first time on the show.

The male dating couple -- Will and James -- is pondering using their hourglass to slow down Leo and Alana because that couple helped another team in one of the challenges. Will and James team up with the Volleyball brothers -- Maddison and Riley -- to work together. (Dang. I have to look up the names! Gah!) There. I looked them up.

Their clue leads them to a market. They have to buy items on a list, all eleven items and all are in Portuguese. I'm not understanding why teams didn't just enlist the help of a local to fulfill the quest. While some of the teams are kind of working together, it's very chaotic. After they get all the items, they have to go to the dock manager.

Teams go on the Amazon next and meet up with a chief who's going to show them something with a blowgun. EEP. Some teams aren't reading the clue and are trying to get on the boat without all the items. Others have to return to the market because they've lost/misplaced or other teams took some of their items.

Whoa, the chief blowguns a Detour clue. They have to collect materials and assemble a new roof for the chief's father or prepare a meal to the satisfaction of the chief. Oh, geez, the father and son got there and didn't have their bags. Michelle and Vic tried to call out to them before they got there but they couldn't hear what they were shouting.

Volleyball helps out football with the roof.

Will and James finish first. The next clue tells them there's a Double U-Turn ahead. They U-Turn Leo and Alana. Hung and Chee do not U-Turn anyone. Haley and Kaylynn saw Leo and Alana were U-Turned and they U-Turned Jerry and Frank to help them from being last.

Oops. Michelle and Vic left their clue by the clue box.
