Since we are skipping the first boots, the Survivor and The Amazing Race blog pools are both still open for sign-up until Friday. But don't wait! The Survivor blog pool sign-up is this here link. The Amazing Race blog pool sign-up is this link.
I will be live-blogging tonight's show the best I can. I can't promise perfection, mind you. I am not all that familiar with the cast and won't really know them for a few weeks. But I should get all the major happenings down. Refresh the page to get the latest update. As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!
Race watchers ready? Let's GO!
Yep, in Munich. We get brief team intros as they are aboard a huge raft ride. I admit I already have a bias towards favoring Derek and Claire because I liked them both on BB. More intros after they are on solid ground. Phil tells them they can complete the challenges in any order -- it's a Scramble and that there will be no non-elimination legs.
On their luggages, three addresses, they can choose the order, when all three challenges complete, they will know where to meet Phil at the Pit Stop. Roll, Saw and Smash are the challenges. All Oktoberfest related.
Scramble has them scrambling! Derek and Claire take off in their car first.
It's going to take me some time to get used to these teams. The Military Brother team chose Roll and they have to roll a keg through an obstacle course. The Motivational Speaker couple have Saw, they have to saw a log with musical accompaniment. Aubrey and her partner are dancers. Derek/Claire go through Roll quickly.
The Military Bros are headed to Smash while Derek and Claire head to Saw. Several couples are at Smash. They have to smash a huge ice block to get at a clue inside it. Not only do I not know these teams, they're at all three different tasks! I cannot keep up with this!
Emily and Molly (Twins) are at a clue box selecting Route Info. Hmm.
Phil showed several teams have completed two tasks, others only one. Apparently no one has done all three. Until NOW, that is! Derek and Claire! They have figured out the clue is an angel! They are on the way to the Pit Stop!

Hi Jackie! Thank you!! Here we go!!
Hi Penny! Hi Jackie!! and to all that follow - Howdy!!
~*~*~ Splash~*~*~
Hello again! Still a lot of spiked apple cider left...
It's so GREAT to see DX & Claire! I read that their 'mance began ON Big Brother, but kept it very DL. Respect!
Howdy again!
Hi Jackie and Penny and Sue Gee and Petals!
And I promise that all pool picks are totally random... Favorites will not be taken into account LOL
Wow! That'll be interesting. It should be that way, I guess.
Hi Sharon!
I just never saw DX and Claire as a couple.
Cool about the stranger twins. I had 2 babies (6yrs apart) that were adopted by different parents, but both dads worked in the same law office. So the kids were raised knowing they were half-siblings. Even vacationed together. And now we're ALL very friendly, loving, etc. Best thing in my life that God told me to do.
I think the twins story is so cool. Can't imagine finding out I was a twin 36 years later.
AND my son got to Facetime my dad (they are like twins, it is uncanny) the month before my dad passed away. It was like my dad was looking at his reflection on the screen. Blessed
Penny - They have been together since the season ended. They moved in together way back then!
I like that TAR isn't labeling the couples, just putting thier names.
What a blessing Petals.
ooooo, I need to check my pool picks!
Interesrting they pick the order of Leg and no Eliminations!
Petals - The sign ups end for the pools on Friday
Petals - no pool until next week and not counting the first elimination
Glenn, its no non-eliminations
wow - another rainbow-haired girl. back to back.
Penny (& anyone interested) "Three Identical Strangers" was an award-winning (and Oscar-nommed) documentary about triplets separated at birth to 3 different families.
They don't meet until they were young men. It's all real, the real brothers, etc...and completely fascinating, happy, sad, etc.
Check it out.
It is going to take me a while to get used to these teams. The fact they're all doing different tasks in different order makes getting to know them even harder!
AR making it tough for Jackie to track tonight!
But I do love the fact that Scramble has them not knowing who is in the lead!
I remember that Petals. I know one brother died, I think. It is a facinating story.
Germany is so beautiful.
yes, I was trying to follow who was winning, but it's too much for my scattered brain
I'm giddy about Derek and Claire being in the lead!
I hope the brothers catch up. It doesn't look good, though.
I was going to add, one a tank commander. You'd think he'd have better map skills. LOL
same, Jax!
will this season have Road blocks or stops, etc? I didn't pay enough attention
Yikes, that Ice block is THICK
YAAAAYAYYAAAAA Team ClaireX
DeClaire? X-aire? ClaireX? heehee
That's hard. Everything was so fast paced.
Thank you, Jacke.
See everyone next week!
See everyone Sunday. BB finale!
Claire and DX won Stage one.

XOXO - see you guys at the next blog party!
Night everyone!! Just starting here
