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
Robbin & Chelsea -- Indiana Jane, KelseyNY, MikesGirl
Rob & Corey -- marthalight, PDX Granny, Sharon N
Steve & Anna Leigh -- David, Donna in FL, Glenn Allen
Are you ready? Let's GO!
Teams are remaining in Slovenia. On foot to Congress (?) Square for their next clue.
Roadblock - Wooden kitchenware. Sellers attach to backpack and make a delivery, so do the teams (or one member of the team, that is).
John finishes first, gets the next clue and heads back to Greg. Drive to a network of caves where legend has it the dragons live. Descend down into a cave to find the next clue. Todd finishes it next and heads back to Ashlie. Then Corey gets it done. Uh-oh. Chelsea didn't load up two pieces on the backpack and has to go back for them. Both Garrett/Joel and Steve/Anna Leigh made it through. Now Robbin and Chelsea are through.
Greg/John make it first to the caves. Then Rob and Corey. The clue has them go further into the cave, find pieces of a dragon, put it together to get the next clue from the dragon keeper. Robbin/Chelsea continue to make errors and drive by the entrance to the caves.
Greg/John finish the dragon and get a clue to drive to the Fonda Fish Farm where they will get the clue to a Detour. Anna Leigh/Steve, then Garrett/Joel finish the dragons.
Detour - Scrape Off has them removing barnacles from two rings. Swap Out, use a kayak to swap out two mussels laden buoy ropes.
Robbin/Chelsea are finally at the caves. Ashlie and Todd are still there. But now they're gone just as the women approach the dragon.
Greg/John have already swapped out one buoy. Rob/Corey got there but started off without a buoy. Uh-oh. They took a buoy but left the mussels! Greg/John get the clue to drive to the next Pit Stop.
Rob/Corey decide to switch Detours as they cannot find the bag of mussels they left behind. Meanwhile, Anna Leigh/Steve finish the Scrape clue. Joel/Garrett are heading to the Pit Stop now, too.
Ashlie and Todd, after getting lost, make a mistake at Scrape and leave the chains behind when they get their kayak. They finish Scrape just as Robbin/Chelsea arrive at the Detour.
Pit Stop Order
1. Greg/John - Also won $5,000 each
2.Joel/Garrett
3. Steve/Anna Leigh
4. Rob/Corey
5. Ashlie/Todd
6. Robbin/Chelsea are Phiminated
Hello again everyone
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie. Thank you, thank you, for everything you do for us!!
ReplyDeleteHi Monty.
ReplyDeleteHowdy Monty and Jackie S.
ReplyDeleteHi again everyone! My pool team is starting last
ReplyDeleteHowdy Nickelpeed
ReplyDeleteHowdy Glenn
ReplyDeleteHowdy folks... fancy meeting you all here again! :D
ReplyDeleteHi again Sue Gee!
ReplyDeleteHi SueGee. Thought I'd add that Chicago was the very first large city I had ever seen. I wanted to see the Sears tower. I had been told if you looked up at the top of the Sears Tower, you would fall over because it was so big. I was disappointed, I didn't fall over. LOL.
ReplyDeleteHi again everyone.
ReplyDeleteSue, I know those towns well. My glass wholesaler was in Warrenville
Hey again, people!
ReplyDeleteHi Glenn.
ReplyDeleteHaven’t seen either show yet here in West Coast but wanted to stop by and wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving! Grateful for our blog family here and our wonderful host Jackie! Hope everyone has a lovely day tomorrow! Xoxox
ReplyDeleteDr. Celine on mobile.
Hey Dr. Celine. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteSame to You Dr Celine
ReplyDeleteCaves creep me out, lol
ReplyDeleteHi Dr, Celine. Happy Thanksgiving
ReplyDeleteDr Celine, Happy Thanksgiving to you and I agree about the blog family Jackie built. I hope you day is lovely also.
ReplyDeleteOmg, couldn't have scripted that any better. :)))
ReplyDeleteFunny you should say that Michele. I was in the glass business for over 30 years, laboratory glassware!
ReplyDeleteSue, small world. I made stained glass church windows for 35 years. What’s laboratory glass, beakers and test tubes?
ReplyDeleteHi Glenn, SueGee, and Dr. Celine.
ReplyDeleteThat is a cool job, Michelle and SueGee!!
ReplyDeleteYou got it Michelle - but really high end specialty stuff. Actually had a glassblowing shop for a while until they decided they didn't need a California warehouse/office anymore in 2002. Went to work at UC Berkeley and the rest is history. Retired in 2014 and they pay me not to come to work now!
ReplyDeleteAnna Leigh keeps dropping her Items!
ReplyDeleteI loved my job!!! I retire just a few months before Covid lockdown. I had planned on traveling but then got double breast cancer (completely gone) and haven’t traveled at all. :)
ReplyDeleteMy team Steve and Anna Leigh move into 5th place!
ReplyDeleteIsn’t retirement the best. I do lampwork beads also. That’s the only hot glass I do.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, so thankful you are well again and will now have a chance to do your traveling.
ReplyDeleteSharon, I got a lot to be grateful for!!
ReplyDeleteMichelle I am glad you recovered. My Mom had Breast Cancer Twice but lived about 30 or so years afterwards and lived to 80 almost 81, She passed in May of 2016.
ReplyDeleteRetirement is awesome. I love being paid not to go to work, lol. Michelle, happy that you are healthy now.
ReplyDeleteGlenn, your Mom sounds like she was a strong fighter. I’m sorry you lost her. I think I remember you saying you had dinner with your dad recently. Feb 8th will be 3 years cancer free. Cherries family, friends, health and God.
ReplyDeleteHa, that’s cherish not cherries.
ReplyDeleteHappy to be a retiree also (at 56 yrs old). It's been 25 years of being able to travel a bit. Not having to get up until I want, and not forcing myself to go into work sick.
ReplyDeleteLife is pretty dang good.
I like the brothers, the father/son and the beard guys. Any of those three winning will be fine with me.
ReplyDeleteSharon, you worded it well, DANG GOOD.
ReplyDeleteAgree Monty. There's been some pretty nice teams this season. Brothers and father/son are my favorites.
ReplyDeleteMy team is still in it Ashlie and Todd. My grand daughter's name is Ashley. So far they have been very polite and not ugly Americans!
ReplyDeleteRemember the year someone tried to short the cabbie and he called the cops on them?
ReplyDeleteSue Gee my Team is Steve and Anna Leigh. I like your team of Todd and Ashlie!
ReplyDeleteI’m surprised there’s never been a serious accident. They’re speeding around in unfamiliar areas with street signs in a foreign language while driving a stick shift.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle!
ReplyDeleteI so love not having to commute/drive on the freeway every day. Going to work was usually not so bad, but the drive home was insane.
ReplyDeleteI could walk to work if I wanted to. I could make a tank of gas last a whole month.
ReplyDeleteI love not having to get out in the winter when there's snow and/or ice on the roads. I live on a hill and it is a ________ in the winter. Although we had a mild winter last year after I retired. I told my old co-workers they could thank me for that, lol
ReplyDeleteMy sister (who lives in the mitten state north of Monty) has had snow already. Not much - yet
ReplyDeleteI really hope the father and son are not last.
ReplyDeleteI love the 4 seasons here. Even winter, thank goodness no hills. But we get a lot of lake effect snow. Summer is my least favorite season. I don’t like the heat.
ReplyDeleteTeams still not reading Clues is crazy!
ReplyDeleteI've been looking at Black Friday stuff and missing the conversations. Sorry!!
ReplyDeleteNot reading the clues kills teams on the race
ReplyDeleteSueGee, that must mean Monty is my Ohio neighbor. I’m in Indiana. Snow is predicted for Sunday, a dusting of an inch or so.
ReplyDeleteMy old stomping grounds near Saratoga NY got five inches of snow last night.
ReplyDeleteCardinal sins of TAR 1) Not reading clues completely 2) Not knowing how to drive stick 3) Not knowing how to swim
ReplyDeleteYes, Michelle... southern Ohio here.
ReplyDeleteBefore retiring, there was a big company reorg and things were looking "iffy" for a lot of people. Although I felt ok with the reorg, I still applied with a group moving to New Mexico (same company). First time driving in snow and ice. Albuquerque gets snow, but not a huge amount, so not too bad. Loved living in NM, but only had to be there for 3 years before retiring and moving back to CA. Now my family is all in Colorado, so snow and ice again. Fortunately, CO is similar to NM... a little more here, but not bad.
ReplyDeleteMonty, you’re in beautiful county, is it hilly?
ReplyDeleteThis episode has had a lot of teams messing up because they either misplace things or don't read their Clues correctly!
ReplyDeleteSharon, I’ve been camping in Colorado mountains. I was amazed that I found seashells at our campsite on top of a mountain.
ReplyDeleteLots of mistakes on this leg of the race
ReplyDeleteMichelle, that's crazy. Although, as continents and water levels have changed over the eons, just shows anything is possible. Colorado really is beautiful. Love it here.
ReplyDeleteMy cousin lives in the SW corner of Colorado in the mountains and they have snow now. She is always posting pictures of the mountains.
ReplyDeleteI grew up in snow - lots of it!! Now I can go and drive for a few hours and go visit it if I feel the need.
My team Steve and Anna Leigh finish 3rd.
ReplyDeleteI wanna hang out with the lady with the basket on her head, she seems like she’d be fun.
ReplyDeleteBreathing a sigh of relief... Rob/Corey make it in at 4th.
ReplyDeleteVery hilly, Michelle.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to see the girls have fun at the end of their race.
Greg & John are cleaning up on the cash! :)
ReplyDeleteIt was a pleasure to send the evening with all of you. Until next week, be grateful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by and have a great Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jackie. Take a good rest!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE. Hope it's filled with blessngs.
Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!! See you next week!!
ReplyDeleteThat daughter is so mean to her father. UgH!!
