The Amazing Race 33: January 26 Episode Blog Party

 

Greetings and felicitations. I hope everyone is doing well. We're here for the second post-Covid world episode tonight. With the private jet we are guaranteed bunching points throughout the rest of the season. I guess if one team was hours and hours behind, perhaps they get Philiminated or penalized? I don't know. I read that the two returning previously Philiminated teams -- Arun/Natalia and Mike/Moe -- had to do a Speed Bump that they didn't have time to air last week. I've been watching the Penn/Kim episode recaps on YouTube. They give quite a bit of insight and a bit of insider information.

I will be constantly updating this entry with the major events as they air here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments area -- I hope to see you there!

Philiminated

Mike and Moe

Are you ready? Let's GO!

We're starting off with the Previously On, of course.

Teams will be checking out of the Pit Stop in the order they checked in

groups of three. Still in Switzerland.

Highest bungee jump in Europe with the involvement of the Travelocity

gnome. This is a Roadblock.

Just a note -- I'm having technical issues.

Sheri has to do the Roadblock and she has a fear of heights. Raquel and

Cayla are pleased with how they're doing. Dusty goes first and doesn't

die, Kim is up next. Penn is so worried he's in tears. Lulu/Lala next.

Akbar/Sheri arrive. She lives through the jump. Cayla and Raquel took a

long route and found out they're in 5th place right now. Arun and Natalia

just make it way behind the pack.

Route info - drive to a town and then on foot to the clue.

Detour - Bartender race or Sausage Encase. First has them racing up

stairs with bottles of wine and bags of chestnuts. The second has them

putting sausage in a casing. Dusty/Ryan and Kim/Penn choose the race

while Lulu/Lala choose the case.

Arun/Natalia once again are having directions issues in getting there.

Dusty/Ryan are taking multiple trips up the stairs. They are having prob-

lems, so I can't see the others doing well with the task. Akbar/Sheri go

for that task as well. Lulu/Lala did very well with the sausage.

Akbar is pushing Sheri once again. I wanted to like them but he is turning

me off. She is staggering up the stairs and ends up dropping and breaking

at least one bottle of wine. Cayla/Raquel having sausage issues.

After the Detour, teams have to find a picture on their gnome, figure out

where it is and go there to the Pit Stop.

Dusty is down with a severe leg cramp but still ...
