Are we ready? Yep! Let's get this show ON!
Teams are booking flights to Prague ... through Tavelocity product placement apps. Double U-Turn ahead! There are two flights, arriving an hour apart.
None of the first four teams U-Turn anyone -- Twins, Yale, SkiGals, Ocean
This or That Detour. Czechs drink more beer per capita than any other country. Teams must restack beer, then deliver a keg to a party boat in This. In That, teams must pay attention to details about the Earth being flat or round, remember details and orate.
The second set of teams arrive. Jess and Cody U-Turn the Violinists.
The Twins did the almost impossible oration Detour. The next stop is bathing in beer. Woot woot. Too bad they only see rather large men doing so!
The Roadblock is the gazillion phones in a room, only eight have a recording of a word. Put the words together. Kafka-esque indeed."The meaning of life is that it stops."
Pit Stop:
1. Kristi and Jen - won a trip to Australia
The twin and Yale Evan worked together on the phones and made it through.
2. The Twins
3. Yale
4. Alex and Conor
5. Lucas and Brittany
6. Cody and Jessica
7. Trevor and Chris -- Philiminated
Sigh. I liked them.
Well. Um. It's only for three weeks!
From this article --Omarosa and ...
"American Pie actress Shannon Elizabeth, Sugar Ray's Mark McGrath, The Cosby Show's Keshia Knight
Pulliam, Real Housewife Brandi Glanville, UFC light heavyweight champ
Chuck Liddell, actors James Maslow and Marissa Winokur, TV personality
Ross Matthews and Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez will also be moving
into the Big Brother house this week."
Okay, I know Omarosa. I know the one from The Cosby Show and Ross Matthews.
It's only three weeks.
Update -- That article left out Ron Artest -- World Metta Peace (whatever). I know who he is, but not well.
I'm ready for tonight's show! How about you? I'll be live blogging the major happenings the best I can as they air here on the East Coast. But the real party is in the comments area -- come join in on the fun! Remember -- tonight's show is TWO hours!
The Left Coast Lovely SqueeGee SueGee has updated the blog pool -- since last week was a non-Philimination leg, all the prior teams remain. The NBA guys, Cedric and Shawn, will face a Speed Bump tonight. I'm still in it to win it!

Are we ready? Yep! Let's get this show ON!
Nine teams remain. Who will be eliminated next?
Teams are heading to France, to Saint Tropez.
At Saint Tropez, they're faced with a Roadblock which has them sailing a dinghy without a lesson and picking up two parts of a clue.
Kristi makes it through the Roadblock first. Detour -- Make baguettes or ...? I guess I missed the other part. Please excuse me -- I'm not feeling well. Update - assemble a pair of sandals is the other part.
NBA and the Twins are both woefully behind the pack. As are Brittany and Lucas.
Cedric and Shawn are finally at their Speed Bump, stacking small sailboats in numerical order on a rack. They seem to be making quick work of it. They and Brittany/Lucas are finally doing the Roadblock. The Twins are still having issues driving the car.
Now it's the Twins and NBA struggling for last place in the dinghies.
Meanwhile, Kristi and Jen head off to the Head to Head Battle (no one else is there yet). It's a game of Pétanque.
They go against Alex and Conor.
Pit Stop:
1. Alex and Conor -- won five grand each.
Kristi and Jen are now against Cody and Jessica.
2. Cody and Jessica
Kristi and Jen against Trevor and Chris.
3. Kristi and Jen
Trevor/Chris against Joey/Tim
4. Joey and Tim
Going against Lucas and Brittany now.
5. Trevor and Chris
Henry/Evan against them.
6. Henry and Evan
7. The Twins
8. Lucas and Brittany
9. Cedric and Shawn -- Philiminated. Sigh. I liked them.
Teams are now driving to Les Baux, France. Something about a Medieval Chateaux. It's going to be a bunch-up as it doesn't open until 8:30am.
Definitely Medieval. And, it's a Roadblock. Teams must make a catapult thing while one team member is in the stockade.
Lucas and Brittany take over the lead.
Onto a Detour -- Pull a Bull or Colorful. Teams have to remove three things from numerous bull statues or a Van Gogh puzzle thing.
Lucas and Brittany get through the Detour first and are on the way to the Pit Stop.
Pit Stop:
1. Lucas and Brittany -- won a trip to Bali
2. Kristi and Jen
And, we cut to commercial just as Lucas is about to propose.
So, he does. Touching indeed.
3. Eric and Daniel arrive to witness it.
4. Henry and Evan
5. Alex and Conor
6. Cody and Jessica
7. Trevor and Chris
8. Joey and Tim -- Philiminated

Are we ready? Yep! Let's get this show ON!
Ohh ... teams are going to Tangier, Morocco. The have to find a clue in the "Sea of Chaos" -- a rather crowded and unorganized seaport. Then they have to meticulously stack fish in a crate thingee. Both Cody and Evan speak some Arabic, a rarity in cast members these days!
The fish smell is really affecting NBA, as well as the others. More the NBA guys, though. Heehee, Jess is being distracted by the stray cats hanging out at the fish stacking! Unfortunately, the TeamExtreme gals are totally lost. I think they might be the only team not yet making it there.
Jess and Cody make it out of the fish first. Other teams finishing up. The Ski Gals finally arrive at the fish. Teams will head out and pick up the TAR traditional Roaming Gnome. Whoa! The gals beat out Alex and Conor, now they're in last.
Roadblock -- Who's ready to rock the Casbah? -- The Roaming Gnome will get to ride a zipline! Once the gnome does the zipline then the chosen team member must go find it. Interesting and different. They don't just have to do it one time -- once they find the gnome, they have to go to a second zipline. The leading teams are working together. They did well the first time. Not so good the second time. Jess and one of the Indy Car drivers seem to be getting very frustrated. The local cats still like Jess.
CEDRIC of the NBA is in the lead! How cool is that? He loses that, though. Sigh.
Now the Yalies are in the lead, Detour. Pick up foodstuffs and deliver them. Or belly-dancing. Oh my.
Oh-uh. Brittany forgot her gnome at the Roadblock. Jess knows that she's one of the last two teams and just can't call her back to retrieve it without putting her own race in peril. I don't really blame her.
Yay! My blog pool Yalies are now in the lead, first out of the belly-dancing! No, they didn't have to really belly-dance so much themselves. It was more like dancing around reading clues. Conor and Alex are on their tails.
Pit Stop:
1. Evan and Henry! Won a trip to Switzerland.
2. Alex and Conor
3. Kristi and Jen
4. Trevor and Chris
5. Cody and Jessica
Joey Chestnut is totally screwing up finding the clues at belly-dancing.
6. Joey and Tim
7. Eric and Daniel
8. Lucas and Brittany
9. Cedric and Shawn ... and it's a non-Philimination leg! YAY!
Next week is a two-hour episode and another head-to-head challenge.
I'm ready for tonight's show! How about you? I'll be live blogging the major happenings the best I can as they air here on the East Coast. But the real party is in the comments area -- come join in on the fun!
SueGee, or as we affectionately like to call her, SqueeGee, has made the random picks for the blog pool. We don't start with the first team out because we don't even get to know them. (Sorry, Ring Girls.) Here are the picks:
#TeamBigBrother (Cody & Jessica) DeLee, ChicMc, Megan H
#TeamChomp (Joey & Tim) David, Chrob61, tbc
#TeamExtreme (Kristi & Jen) Janice from GA/FL, Kristen From Ohio
#TeamFirefighters (Eric & Daniel) Judi Sweeney, Indiana Jane
#TeamGoatYoga (April & Sarah) Sharon N, Merrilee
#TeamIndyCar (Alex & Conor) SueGee, Brian, Brenda
#TeamOceanRescue (Lucas & Brittany) Donna in FL, Glenn Allen
#TeamSlamDunk (Cedric & Shawn) Nickelpeed, Willie in NC
#TeamWellStrung (Trevor & Chris) Fred aka TwoBlackAces, Petals
#TeamYale (Henry & Evan) Jackie, Ed in Ohio
Ready? Let's GO!
Ten teams remain. Who will be eliminated NEXT?
They're headed to Antwerp, Belgium. Mmm ... chocolate! All teams will be on the same flight. Well, of course, as long as all make the flight! Once they land in Amsterdam, they need to take a train to Antwerp.
Oh, the Roadblock is WAY up high on a crane, called Sky Climb. Oh my. Cedric and Shawn find it first. They have to climb a chain ladder and get their next clue before the crane descends.
Onto the Detour. Printing presses are the topic. They need to print a clue. Or the have to evaluate three diamonds.
Cody seems to be taking to the printing idea. But then the Yale team came along and they figured out holding the card backwards to the light gives them the exact mirror image they need for the letters.
Whoa! The NBA guys figured out the printing and are currently in 1st place! They are followed by the Ski Girls.
Now it's "Time to go head to head." A member from each team must race in a French Fry costume steering a dolly of "frites", loser races the next team. Jess and Cody will go against the NBA guys as the Ski Gals got a bit lost. The last loser from the race will result in that team being eliminated.
Cody wins over Cedric.
Pit Stop:
1. Cody and Jess -- won $2500 each
Uh-oh -- the Twins (Firefighters) switch from the printing Detour to the diamond one which actually seems a lot harder.
To the race - Shawn against Henry.
2. Cedric and Shawn
Race -- Evan against Kristi.
3. Ski Girls
Race - Henry against Chris.
4. Team Well Strung
Race - Alex against Evan
5. Alex and Conor - The Indy Racers
Now Henry is trying again against Lucas
6. Lucas and Brittany
Wah ... the Yalies are my blog pool team. They're wearing themselves out racing and not winning!
Race - Evan against Tim
7. Tim and Joey Chestnut
Race - Henry against April ... FINALLY
8. Henry and Evan!
April against Daniel
9. The Twin Firefighters
Team Goat Yoga -- April and Sarah have been Philiminated.
Next week has another U-Turn and ... and ... swapping partners?!?!?!
