Hey Folks, it's Sunday & that time of the week. Will Nick and Vicki be able to overcome the hurdles of 6hr penalty, lagtime they were already behind, and the Speedbump - to stay in the race tonite? It promises to be another exciting show.

What percentage of the time will Nick be abusive, and what percentage will he be whiney? I have several (soft) objects handy to throw at the TV when he fusses about getting a penalty!

Jill/Thomas still trying to catch a taxi. Now taxi driver doesn't know where to go. They get frustrated with taxi driver and change cabs. Pass B/C they are second team to arrive, but B/C must serve a penalty and are the first team to arrive and one of three teams to race for the win.

They new that this was there last leg and they finally arrive at mat and are the last team to arrive and have been eliminated. Phil asked if they learn anything. Nick says that when he came into this race he didn't care about others feeling and doing this race has changed him although he has a long way to go.
Sound bites by three teams remaining.

What excellent news, I was so afraid they would be bunched at the airport. But now Nick is going to be off my TV!

The disturbing part for me was that Vicki still thinks they SHOULD work it out! Whatever has happened in her part to make her think that she deserves scum like Nick?!?

I think there is something slightly off about Vicki. She doesn't seem to be able to speak up for herself very well. I never would have tolerated somebody like Nick. On that last leg, I would have told him to screw himself and finished the task by myself. It is completely his fault that they did so badly in this last part of the race.

Wow - So Nick says there isn't a thing he would change about Vicki? Who asked you? YOU'RE the one who needs a whole lotta changing, guy. I really hope that once Vicki got home, she woke up and booted his rear to the gutter.

Jill and Thomas are not much better as far as enjoying them - at least for me. I would rather just watch the girls in the finale.

I laughed when Claire made the comment about Brook probably having won a skating championship at the age of four or something like that!

Great spoiling again, Videomic!

No doubt that Nick totally cost them any chance of winning the game. If they had continued looking for the boat they surely would have found it in less than six hours and that would have given them a much better chance of catching the same plane as the other teams.

Anyway, I'm glad they didn't make it because I don't think they deserved to be there having given up.

Nick hasn't learned a thing. When the cabbie gave Vicki the sandwich, Nick said at least she was good for something... that being bait. I still think she should have made him fish food last week.

About that comment by Nick: even my 14 year old son commented on it and was appalled at the remark. He has more respect for women than Nick does!

I'm for a Nat/Kat win.. if not them, then Brook/Claire, though I'm not overly fond of Brooke.. and of course if not either of them, unfortunately Jill/Thomas.

I sure hope they don't go to one of those impossibly physical final legs as they have in some past races where the advantage went to all young fit male teams and even M/F teams were at a big disadvantage..

Not going to miss Nick. Sure he shuffled and tried to make nice in the final interview, but he needs to learn to STOP THE BAD BEHAVIOR and then he won't always have to apologize and say he learned a lesson. Seems to me he "learned a lesson" supposedly on any number of legs of this race.

1 EXPRESS PASS allows a team to skip or abandon any task at any one time through the 8th leg of the race. Jill and Thomas won the EP when they came in first in Leg 1 and they used the EP in Leg 4 to proceed to pitstop without completing the last task.

NEL Non Elimination Leg.

Leg 3 Michael and Kevin came in last/ninth but will continue to Leg 4 where they will have to perform a Speed Bump

Leg 6 Nick and Vicki came in last/seventh but will continue to Leg 7 where they will have to perform a Speed Bump (which we never saw on the show and which reportedly was not ever done because of some glitch with the piano detour when the team was told "nyet" when they were indeed correct.)

Leg 10 Nick and Vicki came in last/fourth (with a 6 hour penalty too) and will have to complete a speed bump in the next leg. (We did see them complete the Speed Bump task, but none of the other task since they were so late to get to S. Korea.. they may have done tasks or may have been called in to the pit stop.

P Leg 7 -

Michael and Kevin came in sixth but incurred TWO 30 min penalties. This moved them to seventh and they were out of the race.

Chad and Stephanie came in seventh, incurred ONE 30 minute penalty which allowed them to move to sixth place and stay in the race.

P Leg 8 - Jill & Thomas arrived first at the pit stop but incurred a 30 minute penalty for hiring and following a cab. They dropped from first to second place.

P Leg 10 - Nick quits during detour, then Vicki quits with no help from him, so they accept a 6 hour penalty and get directions to Pit Stop.

P Leg 11 - Brook & Claire arrive first at Pit Stop, but they took a cab to the ice rink, when the clue stated that they must go on foot or by subway, so they must wait for a 30 minute penalty period before they can check in.

As a result, Jill & Thomas arrive in time to go from second place to first place.
