I will be live-blogging and updating this post constantly as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest updates. As always, the real blog party is in the comments. I hope to see you there!
Lifeguard SueGee has once again updated the blog pool and here's where we stand going into tonight's show:
Ashlie & Todd -- Dr Celine, NanaintheNW, SueGee
Greg & John -- Brent McKee, Jackie, Judi Sweeney
Joel & Garrett -- ChicMc, Ethan, Willie J, Jasonuwp
Rob & Corey -- marthalight, PDX Granny, Sharon N
Steve & Anna Leigh -- David, Donna in FL, Glenn Allen
Are you ready? Let's GO!
Greg/John get the clue to fly 1000 miles north to Stockholm, Sweden. Once again, it's a bunching point and they will all start out even in Sweden. Heh. Todd looked up the location where they're heading and found out it's skydiving.
Teams are racing for taxis. They are instructed to take a number for a special introduction to Sweden when they get to their destination. Corey/Rob have to use their Express Pass this leg or lose it -- it must be used by the 10th leg.
ACK! Greg/John ran past the numbers! Garrett/Joel got Number One. Then Steve/Anna Leigh get Two. Greg/John 3. Corey/Rob 5?
The teams load into a plane. They will skydive with a partner. Joel first. Then Garrett. Steve, then Anna Leigh. Greg, then John. Todd first and Ashlie is panicking. Rob and Corey last.
Teams have to travel on foot to a boat dock then board a boat to an island in Sweden's Archipelago for their next clue. Garrett and Joel are currently in the lead.
Their clue box on an island has people dancing around a Maypole. Roadblock - Who wants to party? Complete a large flower wreath to attach to a Maypole, once completed, then dance.
Rob/Corey use their Express Pass and are directed to the Royal Dramatic Theater. Teams have to search for a violinist for the next clue.
Anna Leigh finishes her wreath first and they're headed to the next clue. Uh-oh, Rob/Corey can't find the main entrance. Anna Leigh/Steve are in there looking. They get to the violinist first. The clue directs them to travel by subway to the next clue where they will face a Detour.
Anna Leigh/Steve almost got on a bus instead of the subway, but Corey/Rob saved them. Now both teams are looking for the subway. They find it and are traveling together. Greg/John are finishing up the Maypole. Garrett finishes his wreath. Todd/Ashlie are in the last place at this time.
Greg/John get the clue for the subway. Garrett/Joel arrive looking for the violinist.
Detour - Recycling revolution going on! Importing trash from other countries. SORT and separate one family's trash. OR ... Nobel prizes serve three menus by memory three course dinners.
Anna Leigh/Steve and Rob/Corey continue to work together to Sort at the Detour. The signs are all in Swedish, so ....! Greg/John choose to Serve. Heh. Greg studied French for years and the dishes are in French in the kitchen. Todd/Ashlie are running in last place and Ashlie is bummed.
Rob/Corey and Anna Leigh/Steve finish the Detour and head to the next clue. Greg/John finish Serve and are also heading to that clue. Garrett/Joel finish the Sort. Ashlie/Todd just arrive at Sort.
The clue directs them to the Pit Stop. Now the lead three teams are traveling together with Garrett/Joel not far behind. Uh-oh ... teams are lost!
Pit Stop Order
1. Garrett/Joel - Won trip to the Galapagos Islands
2. Greg/John
3. Corey/Rob
4. Anna Leigh/Steve
5. Todd/Ashlie -- Philiminated
Hi Everyone again. My Team Steve and Anna Leigh still in the Race.
ReplyDeleteHi all.
ReplyDeleteHey guys...
ReplyDeleteHey, people!
ReplyDeleteBoth my pool team and the team I want to win are still in.
ReplyDeleteBrent, who are you hoping will win?
ReplyDeleteHowdy again folks!
ReplyDeleteAbove anonymous was Michelle. I hate having to type my name every time I comment. Blogger doesn’t recognize my google account settings.
ReplyDeleteHi again Jackie and Monty and Sharon and Brent and Michelle
ReplyDeleteHey Glenn, good luck.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, try using Name/URL option. You can choose a name, but I think it only lasts for the one blog. So next week, you'd have to do the same thing again.
ReplyDeleteSteve and Anna Leigh get the second number1
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle!
ReplyDeleteNo thanks
ReplyDeleteThe Maypole and Dancing looks fun!
ReplyDeleteRob and Corey use their express pass!
ReplyDeleteSharon, I have to type my name for every comment. It says I need to check my browser configurations to allow sign-in with Google account. The info about the settings is for the blogger creator. So I continue to type in my name each time. I use my phone not a computer, so that might also be an issue.
ReplyDeleteHi Everyone!! Let’s go boys!
ReplyDeleteSteve and Anna Leigh leave the Maypole in Second!
ReplyDeleteHi Judi
ReplyDeleteHi Judi. Good luck with your team.
ReplyDeleteI hope this doesn't hurt Rob & Corey
ReplyDeleteSteve and Anna Leigh are the first to get the Violin clue and Rob and Corey save them from getting on the Bus instead of the Subway!
ReplyDeleteThat was crazy, Glenn. How do you confuse a bus with a subway?
ReplyDeleteOh, Anna Leigh’s attitude is disappointing. I wonder if she’ll just cringe at some of her actions when she watches the episodes. Especially her comments to her Dad. Sorry Glenn, I know they are your team.
ReplyDeleteHi Judi! I agree Monty it was crazy they confused a Bus with the Subway!
ReplyDeleteI agree Michelle about the way Anna Leigh argues with her Dad!
ReplyDeleteHenry Kissinger just died at 100. I didn't know he was still living!
ReplyDeleteI didn’t know he was still living either. I probably haven’t seen anything about Kissinger in two decade. Very sad about Rosalyn Carter. She and Jimmy were very kind and compassionate people.
ReplyDeleteDitto on Kissinger... and about the Carters.
ReplyDeleteNice to see them working together
ReplyDeleteThe menu would be a difficult task in a foreign language and by memory.
ReplyDeleteDitto on Kissinger and the Carters
ReplyDeleteYah, wowza, the food looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteWow Jackie! It was a surprise about Kissenger!
ReplyDeleteYou can see why Greg and John have good jobs at Google. They are so capable and well-rounded!
ReplyDeleteGlenn -- A news blurb just mentioned it.
ReplyDeleteThis has been a good season for TAR casting. All the remaining teams are likable.
ReplyDeleteSteve and Anna Leigh and Rob and Cory the top Two teams and working together!
ReplyDeleteAww! I like hugs too :)))
ReplyDeleteThank You Jackie! It is a Shame about Him and Rosyln Carter!
ReplyDeleteHi everyone. I'm getting the last 10 minutes. Thank you Jackie!
ReplyDeleteWho's last?
Jackie... I felt really old when Amy spoke at the funeral. I remember her as a little girl in the White House.
ReplyDeleteHey Penny... the married high school sweethearts are last
ReplyDeleteUh oh. The behind team will be first. Wow, what a change! Completely turned around.
ReplyDeleteThat poor man. She's to hard on him
ReplyDeleteJust read Kissinger was a Nobel Prize winner.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this finish ❤️
ReplyDeleteThank you, monty.
ReplyDeleteNow, who'll be last. The teams really got turned around.
I hope the dad will make it.

ReplyDeleteI hope Anna doesn’t give her Dad a heart attack.
ReplyDeleteSteve and Anna Leigh finish Fourth. It was a close race to the Finish!
ReplyDeleteI like this pair. Too bad.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jackie.
See everyone next week.
Have a great rest of the week and a great weekend.
I agree Michelle!
ReplyDeleteMichelle, it's the one thing I don't like about Anna Leigh. She's so unattractive when she talks to her dad that way at times.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, I thought the same thing.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great final four teams this year! Thank you all for coming by tonight!
ReplyDeleteGoodnight everyone. See you in the comments next week. Thanks Jackie.
ReplyDeleteAppears we get to see more of it next week. ugh
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie and everyone here for the company. Have a great rest of the week and will see you next Wednesday.
Anna Leigh acts like a spoiled brat.
ReplyDeleteKinda makes ya wonder if baby girl has been spoiled her whole life.
Everyone is likable except Steve and Anna Leigh. I am rooting for Rob and Corey or the beards. I like Greg and John but if they win, that would be too predictable. Anna Leigh saying “Come ON Dad!” could be a new drinking game. If you took a sip every time she said that, you’d be drunk in 20 minutes. She is extremely annoying and in the past I didn’t care for how Steve spoke to his daughter either. I just don’t enjoy watching them. Everyone else, I would be okay with them winning. Really really rooting for Rob/Corey or the beards though. Dr._Celine
ReplyDeleteDr Celine,
ReplyDeleteI'm rooting for Rob/Corey also.
Any of the final 4 would be fine... except Anna Leigh. Unfortunately, that means her dad would be out too. I feel bad for the way she treats him.
I hope Anna Leigh will go back and watch the series... maybe she'll see how horrible she's been to her dad. Half the time, he's gasping for air, but she never even looks back. He could drop dead and she'd still be yelling "come on dad." @@
Sharon 💯! Couldn’t agree with you more. She is clueless about how difficult things truly are for her Dad and how she pushes him too far. BUT, one episode Steve was equally as rude to her. I just don’t think there is a good dynamic there. I think she learned how to be that way taking notes from him. There is a lack of awareness and/or underlying coldness to each of them. It isn’t just her. It’s him too. I saw it. ~ Celine
DeleteCeline, you are absolutely right: "they are each other."
ReplyDeleteWe tend to notice Anna Leigh more because her lack of caring and respect is so "in your face" on every episode. Perhaps Steve's rudeness is also an indication that it's his general attitude and possibly created the person she is displaying today. A side thought... I may have missed it, but don't think I've heard either of them mention 'mom.'
