Got my fingers crossed for tonight's TAR. Can Michael & Kevin come out of their Non-Elim penalty? I WANT them to see more of the world together while learning to bond better dagnabbit!!! And YES! I am enthused, this and Survivor are my favorite shows on TV & if it helps to remind people to watch, well bring out the popcorn to keep the ratings up.

"We Should Have Brought Gloves and Butt Pads"

ETA: To be honest, I still don't know WHICH team I'm rooting for. Just mostly not wanting likable teams to go home. Loving the fact that all these teams are likable.

I wish they would find a better time slot for The amazing race. It hardly ever starting at the right time due to football running over has made me miss to much to bother watching now.

I will never understand why Sunday football is not put on a sports channel. It constantly *&#%s up people's schedules for watching other shows on any other channel. CBS just doesn't give a damn though it seems. It annoys the heck out of me. Not everyone gives a damn about football!

Jeff and Jordan = JeJo.

BJM, Jordan was the big winner on Big Brother 2 seasons ago. They were a showmance on BB and then again on TAR. And the nice thing is they are still going strong as a couple.

60 Minutes started exactly on time tonight, so I don't know which game you could be talking about, Oregonguy. Maybe one on the other channel?

3rd pitstop. Phil tells us about the teams helping with renovations on the school from their last tasks. All the teams talking about how great it was to help improve the school.

10:15 AM: J/C departing. Headed to Arctic Circle, Kiruna, Sweden. Teams have tickets on the same flight but are under no obligation to use them if they can find better flights.

Headed to Ice Hotel. The hotel (the ice that makes it) is being kept frozen in a warehouse and that's where the teams will be going.

12:29: J/T leaving.

1:26: K/M leaving. Kevin calling airport to find out the quickest flight to Kiruna and finds one so they are going to try and switch their flight. Kevin points out that other teams didn't figure that out. But they decide to tell Gary/Mallory because they are a father/daughter team like their father/son team. They are using Mallory to cozy up to someone to see about an earlier flight.

B/C going to look for a better flight.

G/M and K/M on the earlier flight. J/C are suspicious that they got a better flight and they want to go look for a better flight.

N/K also find an earlier flight. B/C find them and N/K tell them about the earlier flight. J/C now in a ticket office and asking about a quicker flight. But they are told all the flights are booked.

All teams together on the first flight to Frankfurt.

In Frankfurt, the teams are racing with the teams on the earlier flight running to make their flight. K/M on an elevator.

G/M, K/N, B/C all make the earlier flight but K/M appear to be stuck in an elevator.

So sad they left instead of Chad.. who once again, trashed Stephanie then praised her.. so tiresome.. And I liked the singers.. I'm sure they will bring great joy to the two teams already in Cancun.. and the six will have a great time there. I am happy that J/C snagged the $5000 each prizes last leg.

Also worried that Michael and Kevin might not get to take advantage of their good move in finding out about the earlier flight or that the one team they clued in might edge them out.. the earlier flight clearly paid off for all four teams.
