TAR32: December 9 Episode Blog Party

 


Welcome, all! I hope you're well. My apologies for the health issue last week. I just couldn't blog the show while seeing double (and weird) from eye dilation!

And, tonight might be a bit weird. I saw a promo for it and it's not a normal leg with a Roadblock and a Detour. It's something about sprinting around a city. Hmm. I will do my best to update this entry with the happenings as they air here on the East Coast.

Lifeguard SueGee has updated the blog pool and the latest standings are at this here link.

The real party is in the comments area ... I hope to see you there!

Phil tells us tonight the final four will become the final three.

The teams have to fly to Manilla, the Philippines. I did not know that Manilla is the texting capital of the world. Hmm ... they have to take marked taxis to meet Phil. Weird, yep. They're all on the same flight.

Phil greets them in downtown Manilla. First time ever, a city sprint. Racing through Manilla (most densely populated city center). Phil advises them they shouldn't help out another team. They get their first clue from a Cartiki (sp?). 

They have a riddle to solve the clue. They have to find a personality-laden traffic control guy and grab the next clue from him. Off to the Mall of Asia next! Neither Will/James nor Hung/Chee were able to grab their clues from the traffic cop on the first try.

Heh. At the mall the teams have to run a footrace in high heels! Riley/Maddison were there first. Gary/DeAngelo next.

The next clue leads them to the Chinatown area of the city. Then they have to search for a clue in a costumed lion's mouth. Uh-oh ... Hung and Chee are lost.

Next they have to go to a post office, find a horse and carriage, find and mix ingredients to feed. Gary and DeAngelo have a slight lead over Will and James.

Will/James have taken the lead. They have to go to Mayhan (sp) Gardens for the next clue. It's listening to a band play a medley of songs they've heard on the race and identify four of them. They have to line up the maps of the country where they heard the song in chronological order as in the race.

Hung and Chee finally caught up and are now trying the task along with the other teams. The three teams work together shunning Gary and DeAngelo. So, they decide to take the penalty and give up.

The teams head to the Pit Stop where they started.

Pit Stop order --
1. Riley/Maddison
2. James/Will
3. Hung/Chee

Phil tells them they're going to New Orleans next.

DeAngelo and Gary were Philiminated. DeAngelo is bitter about it. Hmm.

Next week is the season finale.

Hi Glenn!

Hey, Glenn and Penny!

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Penny.

Nickelpeed said...

I am hoping Gary and D'Angelo knock one of the others out of this game. How can they not see the others are working together?

Glenn Allen said...

This should be an interesting episode. Does the 3 team alliance stay together?

Glenn Allen said...

I hope my team Hung and Chee make it to finals.

jennifer said...

Hi Jackie and everyone who gathers!!!

Glenn Allen said...

This is a crazy leg.

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Jennifer.

Nickelpeed said...

This is hilarious.

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Jennifer

jennifer said...

This would be so hard!! I have a slight road rage issue! But on the other hand, that guy makes me smile!

Ed in Ohio said...

Hi all! Looks like they're "playing in traffic" :)

Ed in Ohio said...

No twisted ankles!?

Joe in NY said...

the bad cabbie strikes again.

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Ed. My team Hung and Chee could be in trouble

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Joe.

Nickelpeed said...

Well, Gary and D'Angelo are not going to be first, now. They just hurt their lead.

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Joe and Ed

Joe in NY said...

With my ear for music, I'd never get those 4 songs. EEK!

Ed in Ohio said...

I dvr'd the 2 hour show when my team (the blonde sisters) were finally eliminated. For a 2 hour show there wasn't much drama or suspense. It was pretty obvious they were in trouble right from the start.

Joe in NY said...

Honestly, if they were smart, they'd work together and guarantee all 3 of them get to the Final and cut Hung and Chee.

Nickelpeed said...

Pretty soon all of them are going to be at the music. LOL

Joe in NY said...

I hope the boyfriends lose. They wouldn't cooperate and so they let Hung and Chee catch up.

Everyone is trying to eliminate the football players, but they should try and help themselves.

Nickelpeed said...

I wish they'd tell them if they're close. Gary and D'Angelo were so close the first time.

Joe in NY said...

Can you imagine how mad the other 3 teams would be if the football players got it first?

Glenn Allen said...

Has Hung and Chee listened to the musioc yet? It looks like all the teams are just grabbing cases without listening to the music

Nickelpeed said...

The boyfriends are my pool pick, but I do not want them to win. I do like the football players. I hope they finish first in this.

Ed in Ohio said...

Its hard when you don't know if you even got any right. One wrong and they're all wrong. Start over!

Nickelpeed said...

And, that's so sad, Ed. I so badly want Gary and D'Angelo to put a wrench in the others' plans.

Ed in Ohio said...

3 against 1

SueGee said...

Howdy everyone!! Just dropped in to say hi!! Trying to eat dinner and catch up on the chat

Squeegee

jennifer said...

Whoa!!

Nickelpeed said...

This makes me so angry.

Nickelpeed said...

Hi SueGee.

Nickelpeed said...

They're not even hiding it anyore.

jennifer said...

This makes it anyone’s race when they get stuck... and yes, look at the clue, lol

Nickelpeed said...

Shoot. That means the others will get it, too.

Nickelpeed said...

That's a long wait.

Glenn Allen said...

My sound has stopped working

Ed in Ohio said...

Not reading and understanding the clues. A TAR classic!

Nickelpeed said...

Well, the football players are out. That's irritates me. :'(

No, you're not a great team, you purposely helped others to shut out the football players. I'm sad.

Petals said...

I cannot believe I am still in the pool. This is a first.

Nickelpeed said...

I wish the football players had read the clue better.

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Sue Gee. My team made it to Final 3

SueGee said...

Mine are long gone LOL

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Petals.

Joe in NY said...

Sorry, they are all kind of assholes.

jennifer said...

Feel bad for the football players.

Glenn Allen said...

How did they figure out the correct order?

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Petals.

SueGee said...

see you all next week!

jennifer said...

Whoa! Bitter! Not cool!

Ed in Ohio said...

DeAngelo......not happy!!

Nickelpeed said...

The boyfriends read the clue again and realized the music was how it was heard in the order of the country.

jennifer said...

Thanks Jackie, you and everyone have a fantastic week!!!

Ed in Ohio said...

G'nite All! Stay safe.

Thanks Jackie!

Jackie S. said...

Thank you for coming by!

Nickelpeed said...

Jennifer, I can understand him in many ways. They were thwarted every single step of the way. I can understand his bitterness. The 3 teams picked who they wanted to work with and locked them out. It's sad.

Nickelpeed said...

Thank you, Jackie. See everyone next week.

Petals said...

thank you Jackie. Sorry I was so late to the party (like, all season). But YAY!

♥ everyone
