Yikes! Tonight is the penultimate episode of the season! Yeah, a fancy-schmancy way of saying that next week is the season finale.
Lifeguard SueGee has once again updated the blog pool and here's where we stand going into tonight's show:
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!
Skipping through the Previously On segment and we see Ashlie and Todd Philiminated once again.
Teams are heading to Dublin, Ireland. They each get a phone and can book the trip through the Expedia app. Once in Ireland, they have to drive and then "take the plunge." All are on the same flight.
Okay, we're in Dublin. Home to U2, teams will take a dip in the chilly Irish Sea. The water is very cold. The cars are manual transmissions. Rob knows how to drive standard but points out it's on the opposite side. Greg mentions the same, claims it's not natural.
Already, Anana Leigh is at Steve about going the wrong way.
Rob/Corey get the clue first after the plunge -- drive to the "Gaiety (sp) Theatre" to get the next clue. The three teams are done with the plunge and Steve/Anna Leigh just got there. Steve is having problems in the cold water.
Greg/John got someone to Google directions. Steve is still having problems on land with Anna Leigh shouting at him. They are following Greg/John.
Roadblock - Who wants to get their steps in? Riverdance! Rob/Corey get to it first. Corey has to do it as he is due a Roadblock.
Uh-oh - Greg/John seem to be a bit off. Anna Leigh and Steve are no longer following them. Joel/Garrett just got to the Roadblock. Steve has to do the Roadblock. John/Greg finally arrive to the Roadblock.
Corey makes it through the Roadblock Riverdance first! Drive to Croke Park to receive your next clue at the top of the stadium. Now John finished Riverdance. Steve and Joel are having problems with the Riverdance. Steve made through. There! Joel made it through on his next try!
Roadblock - Who got the swing? Ancient game of hurling. Fastest field sport. Corey has to do it as he is still behind on Roadblocks. Greg/John arrive there. Corey finishes. Drive to Toner's Yard. Pub's literary scholars. Memorize and recite quotes from James Joyce.
Anna Leigh and Steve are lost again. Greg/John finish the hurling Roadblock. Now Joel/Garrett finished hurling as Anna Leigh and Steve arrive. Steve did the hurling in one try!
Rob and Corey finish the quotes at the pub and are on their way to the Pit Stop -- Saint Patrick's Cathedral.
Pit Stop Order
1. Rob/Corey - Won a trip for two to Fiji
2. Greg/John
3. Joel/Garrett
4. Steve/Anna Leigh - Philiminated
Hello again to all. I hope Steve survives this episode.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jacke.
ReplyDeleteHi monty.
I feel so bad for Steve. I hope he doesn't have a heart attack.
Hi again Julie and Monty, My team of Steve and Anna Leigh still in the Race.
ReplyDeleteHi again everyone.
ReplyDeleteSame here, Penny.
ReplyDeleteHi Penny.
ReplyDeleteSteve and Anna Leigh are the ones I like the least due to the way she treats/talks to him. Grr. Love my blog pool team Greg and John. My not so secret favorites are Rob and Corey. Heck, I even like Garrett and Joel.
ReplyDeleteMy team of Ashlie and Todd went home last week boo-hoo. Been rooting for the Dad/Son team Rob & Corey. Been a great season!
ReplyDeleteHi to Glenn, Monty, Penny, Michelle and Jackie!
ReplyDeleteApologies if I missed someonee
She is so darn mean.
ReplyDeleteHi Glenn, Michelle, and SueGee.
ReplyDeleteOh, Jackie and all... I couldn't agree more about the way Anna Leigh talks to her dad. It just make her UGLY imo.
ReplyDeleteHi again Michelle.
ReplyDeleteI hope Steve and Anna Leigh get it together and she is nicer to Steve.
Hi Sue Gee1
ReplyDeleteMy father wouldn't put up with that treatment. But, then again, my father never learned to swim so ...
ReplyDeleteI would love to know what Anna Leigh thinks about her treatment of her Dad now that she’s gotten to watch herself on the show. I’m sure the feedback she’s been getting from people isn’t good.
ReplyDeleteJackie, I would have never talked like that to my father no matter how much money was on the line.
ReplyDeleteAnd, it's not like Steve is a problem. He's doing his best.
ReplyDeleteHi again,
ReplyDeleteEasy to like 3 of the 4 pairs... we all know which is #4. lol
Ok with any of the 3 winning, but cheering loudest for Rob/Corey. :)
In contrast, Corey treats his father with respect.
ReplyDeleteMonty and Jackie I agree. I would never have talked to my Parents like that.
ReplyDeleteHey Sharon. Funny story, Sharon. We were talking about the car chargers last week (mine is a Halo Bolt) and I had to use it today for the first time. It hasn't been out of the box since last Christmas and jumped the battery in seconds. It's a wise investment for sure. Game changer!
ReplyDeleteSorry Glenn but your Anna Leigh has to go.
ReplyDeleteI would never yell at my Dad like that. Like Monty said, no matter how much money was on the line.
Steve and Anna Leigh in Thrid but Steve having t Dance.
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon N.
ReplyDeleteMonty - you can tell that Corey and Rob have a special bond.
ReplyDeleteI know I would never have yelled at my Dad either!
ReplyDeleteMonty!! Thank you for the info about your experience with the HALO Bolt!!
ReplyDeleteGlad it worked so well for you. I had heard varying stories about how long the Bolt would stay charged, so I set the calendar on my phone to check every couple of months.
Monty I have a combination Air Pump and Car Battery Charger and it also has places to use Plugs. My Dad gotit for me and I have used it several Times
ReplyDeleteRob & Corey are my pool guys, but that doesn't matter to me. They would be my favorite anyway... just because of the bond and respect they show each other.
ReplyDeleteI love Irish dance. I've always wanted to do it. If I didn't have a bad foot, I'd do it. Riverdance is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteSharon, it still had 50% power after eleven months.
ReplyDeleteMonty, WOW 50% is great! BTW, the HALO Bolt is what I bought for myself and daughters... this year's version. Does a little of everything. LOL
ReplyDeleteSteve is so close to passing.
ReplyDeleteYes, Glenn. The Halo Bolt does all that too. I'd never used it since I received it as a Christmas gift last Christmas. My brother says he uses his all the time for the air compressor function. Happy to have it.
ReplyDeleteMonty and Sharon, what model of HALO bolt do you have? I keep a trickle charger on the pickup truck during the winter. It only keep the battery fully charged. No fancy accessories.
ReplyDeleteUt Oh....they have started releasing the names for the Reindeer Games!! First up is Jackie's favorite (not) from last year.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great function the Air Compressor Monty. The Stick game looks hard,
ReplyDeleteMichelle, mine is the Halo Bolt Ultimate. I'm sure my sister got it on QVC because that's where she always buys her out of town Christmas gifts, lol.
ReplyDeleteLast season of BB that is
ReplyDeleteMonty, I’ll look on Amazon.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, I bought the HALO Bolt Ultimate 2.0 ... it was the "Special Value" on QVC on November 25. If you go to QVC.com and type in Halo Bolt, it will come up.
ReplyDeleteThere are 2 showing, but I got one that's $149.98 (but it was on special for less at the time). There are several really cool colors/patterns.
The other (in black) is less expensive, so I suspect it the older version.
Back to TAR!!
Steve and Anna Leigh are lost again.
ReplyDeleteSueGee, you mean you won't be rooting for Cameron on the Reindeer Games? lol
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteYou got it right Monty!
ReplyDeleteHeck, once the season is over, I don't care. I guess you're saying Cameron was my least favorite?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the halo info. I see there’s a quick video on it that I can watch tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWell, several were actually PITAs
ReplyDeleteOn BB, Cameron creeped me out.
ReplyDeleteOff the show, he actually appears to be an ok guy.
Which guy is real? lol
Yes Jackie and SueGee, LOL
ReplyDeleteSteve did the Task fast. Rob and Corey are Team Number 1.
ReplyDeleteI love these two. I'd love to see them win.
ReplyDeleteI have tears in my eyes
ReplyDeleteNext week is the finale?
ReplyDeleteYAY, Rob/Corey just might be the 'sleepers.' They've been #3 or #4 almost every episode.
ReplyDeleteSteve and Anna Leigh are always lost
ReplyDeleteI really like Steve, but I don't really like his daughter. I hate see the father last, but his daughter deserves last.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if Rob has been deaf all his life or did he have hearing a one time? My mom read lips, she could tell you a conversation someone was having across the room. Her eardrums broke from scarlet fever as a kid. One healed, one didn’t.
ReplyDeletemonty, I think she makes him so nervous.
ReplyDeleteSteve and Anna Leigh in last but Garrett looks lost.
ReplyDeleteMy only win on TAR was the goat farmers in S21 and they never won a leg of the race until the final leg.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure. Since he said ASL was his first language, it sounds like he's never been able to hear.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen Rob speak much, so I would say he was born deaf. I worked at a Deaf School when I was in College and we had to learn to sign and watch endless movies about types of deafness. My Aunt had the same loss as your Mom Michele. She was able to hear a bit with hearing aids.
ReplyDeleteI like the wholesomeness of Corey, Greg and John ... they seem to be great kids.
ReplyDeleteSteve and Anna Leigh are Eliminated.
ReplyDeleteThe mother of my best friend growing up lost her hearing as a child from Scarlet Fever also. She could hear some with hearing aids.
ReplyDeleteFor those who read about my trip cancellation in Survivor blog, I am so glad I paid extra because I do get back all of our flight money. I am so thankful!!
ReplyDeleteIt’s so inspiring when people with special abilities do BB, TAR, Survivor. I love learning about their journeys. Rob and Cory have made this a good season. They have a special bond.
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for Steve.
ReplyDeleteThat’s good news Penny
ReplyDeleteI agree Michelle. Most of them are firsts. I really like Matt and like Rob and Cory.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jackie. I really appreciate it. Go Rob and Cory. Actually, any team left is fine.
I'm glad the three teams made it.
ReplyDeleteAww, I do like the father/daughter dance at the end by Steve and Anna Leigh. Sorry for you blog team loss Glenn, but happy for all those left in the race and the pool.
ReplyDeleteSee you all next week for the finale.
Thanks Jackie! 💕
Thank you, Michelle. I'm just sad, though.
ReplyDeleteTha
ReplyDeletethanks Jackie!
ReplyDeleteNight everyone!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming by!
ReplyDeletePenny I am glad you get your Money back.
ReplyDeleteSue, next eeek preview - hot glass!!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! The right three teams are in the finale! Thrilled! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
