The Amazing Race 33: February 23 Episode Blog Party

 


Although we're beginning the show with only four teams still in it, it doesn't seem that this is the penultimate episode of the season. They still haven't announced the finale date. Hmm.

I will be live-blogging the show as it airs here on the East Coast, constantly updating this post with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest news. As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

But, first ... Lifeguard SueGee has updated the blog pool. Here's where we stand:

Kim & Penn -- chrob61, Donna in AL, Jennifer
Raquel & Cayla -- Brenda, Skyriverblue, Marlo L
Dusty & Ryan -- Mike Barer, Willie J, PDX Granny
Arun & Natalia -- Glenn, Jennasmom

Philiminated 
Mike & Moe
Akbar & Sheri
Lulu & Lala

Teams ready? Let's go!

We get a recap. Of course.

They get to stay in Greece and choose their hotel on Travelocity.

Teams will be driving 30 miles north to the next clue. Raquel/Cayla and Kim/Penn leave with their 15-minute time advantage. The second two teams leave together, no third group this week.

Roadblock - Kim/Penn there first. Search leaving no stone unturned. Must find one of four gold coins hidden under rocks. The other teams seem to be a bit lost trying to find the site.

Raquel/Cayla arrive, then Dusty/Ryan. Then Arun/Natalia.

Cayla found the first one! Find Socrates at a tower. Listen to his words of wisdom to get your next clue. Kim finally found one! Arun got one!

Socrates gives them a Detour --  Deliver 300 plates or break plates only when a band is playing until they find the clue to the next Pit Stop.

Both Cayla/Raquel and Kim/Penn choose breaking. Dusty finally found the gold coin after two teams were already checked in at the Pit Stop.

The girls finish breaking plates and are headed to the Pit Stop at White Tower.

Pit Stop 

1. Raquel/Cayla - Trip to Hawaii

2. Kim/Penn (Phil tells them 3 departure times next leg, they will be in the second.)

Arun/Natalia got lost and now Dusty/Ryan are about even with them on the Detour task. Natalia gets the clue first. Both of the last teams are heading to the Pit Stop.

3. Arun/Natalia

4. Ryan/Dusty - Non-Philimination leg

Next week is the two-hour season finale.

I just Googled it Survivor starts March 9

Nickelpeed said...

So close, yet so far.

Jackie S. said...

It's a Roadblock, so one. I believe Survivor starts the 16th, but it could be the 9th.

Nickelpeed said...

CBS site says March 9, Jackie. :-)

Nickelpeed said...

I hope the boys don't end up last on this episode.

Jackie S. said...

I saw Sue post that after I posted my comment, Penny

Nickelpeed said...

Poor guy. Now they'll probably be eliminated. However, the finale isn't until March 16, so maybe they have a chance.

Nickelpeed said...

Ooops, TAR finale could be on March 2

Nickelpeed said...

YES, YES, YES!!
