Nerovh, I was yelling it as soon as I saw the promo. I am liking Nick less each week. He is showing some real unpleasantness. Vicki could do better.

Wow, I am exhausted from the stress of watching so many teams have so many difficulties - Especially Mallory and her dad because I like them so much.

Chad seems to have matured in the last few episodes. Hope it lasts.

Our TIVO shut down and re-powered up, so we missed a couple minutes. Can someone explain how Nat and Kat got so far behind? Did they get lost like Mallory and her dad? I was glad the docs squeaked through!

Yes Nat and Kat got lost and drove some distance out of the way before they got back on track.

Sorry to see Mallory and her Dad eliminated as they were a nice team but I was happy that the Doctors made it through. Chad does seem to be doing better. This might be a rare moment where a relationship actually improves during the course of the race.

The Amazing Race 17 - Elimination Station: Via Oman
CBS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lK_Z9b_kpAI

For our Canadian Friends. At ES they're all sitting around another big square couch in a patio (not the sunken square couch in the huge lvg rm). Jenna birth daughter says she and Rachel the volley ball girl had dreams that it would be Gary/Mallory or Brooke/Claire off next. Naturally Rachel says hers was a really 'vivid' dream that B/C was out and that's what she really wants to see happen.

Phone rings, Ron answers. Hi it's Gary/Mallery from Oman. Ahhh! Mallory says to Ron 'We never even met you yet'. It was 16 hours, we drove hours out of the way, and came in just 5 minutes after the previous team.' We've been crying all day.

Delicious disappointment on the faces of volley ball chicks! They just have to know WHO came in just 5 mins before. Nat & Kat. Oh, they just KNOW they Nat/Kat will lose next! Must be simply gnawing at K/R that they're the 'bestest team' ever, but they've been repeatedly trounced by older women on both the all-women teams. Mallory tells them Nat/Kat have been really strong, have come in first like 3 times.

Interestingly, this time not just J/A but several guys said they would like to see an all women's team win (bet guys have heard enough of the bellyaching too). Rachel says 'I don't care if that sounds immature, don't care!'

Then they go down to the docks, gonna fish off a boat. Teasing birthmom Andie, will you get us a fish? She does end up hauling about a 25lb fish from the boat locker (raw & slushing her dress) and they go back to some sort of outside cabana cooking area. Helping to cook. ?Cora Mallo? fish. Filleted out in big chunks and shown how to spread top with lots of lime juice, red Mayan paste of spices, layers of onions, tomatoes, green peppers. Then on top/bottom grillgrids, pushed into an open brick oven.

They sit around in outside cabana table eating. Andie says she this feels like home having so many at at table, she misses her family. Several say 'here's to our fishmamma, thanks for catching our fish' and 'you're like our birthmom', she replies 'you're all my birthchildren' - someone says "we're a birthfamily". She says I know this is a special time that will be the only time in my life to spend so much time with Jenna. Jenna looks sad & agrees. Bittersweet for Andie.

Later, overlooking the ocean Ron & Tony and Andie talk. R/T telling Andie how she inspires them, asking what it will be like when they get back. Andie grateful for the time she's had to spend with Jenna, feels like they're in a "good place". They both live in different places & have wonderful families back home, ball's in Jenna's court. Is sure they will stay in touch, but she's going to follow Jenna's lead.

Really a sweet, poignant YT, IMO. One thing about it, though, Gary/Mallory may not win the $million, but since the exchange came via phone call, they should get to keep running as decoys and see more of the world.

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.)

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.

Thanks for the wonderful Elimination Station summary, Bisc. This eases the frustration of not being able to see it here in Canada. And that's a great table, Sea.
